The accusation came at a really strange time. I'm inclined to think more people jumped on the government conspiracy bandwagon because of the recent release of the diplomatic cables via wikileaks.

Incidentally, I thought I had seen Mr. Perry someplace on TV, and then I remembered he was on an episode of Penn and Tellers "Bullsh*t" a while back. Link for the interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT2YET6sg5I

What is this conspiracy? First I've heard of it.

Wasn't this a conspiracy theory not long ago?

So conspiracy theories are getting more traction, not because the government is up to more shady stuff, but because people are paying less attention? I could buy that.

Popular conspiracy theory.

Was most certainly branded as a conspiracy theory until it was revealed. This is why I think people are more apt to believe other conspiracy theories around him as well

It's a conspiracy.

Maybe it was downvoted for being "tinfoil"?

I know there are some ridiculous conspiracy theories out there, but is it too tinfoil to assume powerful actors had a hand in stigmatizing the concept of conspiracy and abuse of power in the U.S. government?

Is this the beginning of a new conspiracy theory?

So you're saying there's a conspiracy?

gadders | karma 9202 | avg karma 1.52 · | 2013-01-18 22:04:22+00:00

It's a tin foil hat conspiracy, on a par with claiming 9/11 was an inside job.

at least some of the people arguing for this do seem to talk as though there's an actual conspiracy.

aww_dang | karma 3027 | avg karma 1.41 · | 2022-02-18 05:32:32

I remember when this was a conspiracy theory.

gadders | karma 9202 | avg karma 1.52 · | 2022-09-29 14:10:25

Good to see the conspiracy theories starting already.

What conspiracy?

What conspiracy?

ceejayoz | karma 74610 | avg karma 3.33 · | 2015-04-17 14:34:38

What weird conspiracy theory are you flogging? I can't even make sense of the accusation here.

kneel | karma 1371 | avg karma 3.14 · | 2020-12-10 09:57:01

Oh so it's a giant conspiracy theory now? I can see that

neuro | karma 210 | avg karma 2.16 · | 2019-09-07 12:25:11+00:00

I recall distinctly this being called a conspiracy theory years ago.

marknutter | karma 6542 | avg karma 2.68 · | 2015-11-25 19:33:24

Ah, so it's a conspiracy. Gotcha.
