SO, AM I A CONSPIRACY THEORIST?

Yes, in the literal sense that I suspect powerful people and organizations may be coordinating behind the scenes to advance objectives the American public does not fully understand.

But that suspicion is not the same as having proved the theory.

The historical record establishes that powerful networks exist, that they cultivate political relationships, and that governments have sometimes conducted secret operations.

It does not yet establish that Barack Obama was secretly installed by intelligence agencies or that a single organization is directing America toward world government.

Those are claims that require additional evidence.

I don't believe questioning powerful institutions makes someone irrational. I believe unquestioningly accepting everything those institutions tell us can be equally dangerous.

My responsibility is to distinguish what I can prove from what I suspect.

And the responsibility of those exercising power is to remain accountable to the American people.

So, am I a conspiracy theorist? Yes, I am questioning whether a conspiracy exists. But I will not call my suspicions facts until the evidence proves them—and I will not stop asking questions simply because someone dislikes the questions.
