Where is the retraction?
Can't retract facts

Remember my saying:
Conspiracy Theorists have it easy, they make up a conspiracy, and rather than prove it, they ask you to disprove it. And when you do, they accuse you of being part of the conspiracy...and then they start a new one.
The interesting thing is, the last couple of threads I created in this area are about incidents that had very recently happened. And within hours of each one, the Conspiracy Theorists were already screaming that they were faked and part of a conspiracy.
These people really are brain damaged and lack and kind of critical thinking and logic ability. When you have a reporter shot on live TV and the shooter is still driving around and posting tweets of himself doing the shooting, and people are already saying it is fake, they are hopeless.
People like that are simply beyond help.
And when you ask them for citation/support?

Please, provide some. Show your work.

And in the long run the conspiracy theories, more often than not, wind up being proven to be conspiracy fact.
let's take the OKC bombing, most non debunkers forget about the details like multiple bombs, the witnesses that saw the GROUP of men dressed as telephone repairmen going through the building right before. The fact that something like 8-10 video cameras all failed at the same time for the same amount of time.
The psychologist worming with McVeigh was one of the top doctors with the my - ultra program... etc etc. ..
Then you start to recognize the patterns in other events, and just like in criminology, you see the criminals MO.
others just have this ability to tell when they are being lied to,they run the numbers and see the story not adding up.
The other side of that coin is that media and politicians have lied to the people in such blatant ways, on so many issues, that some people have gone to the other extreme where they simply take the opposite of what they are saying as truth, or at least a closer approximation.
consider the case of media, it's down to 5 or 6 companies that control over 90% of all radio, tv, print, and even internet... and those 5-6 companies must answer to those giving them the most money (ie sponsors), and so are reluctant or refuse to put anything out that might put that sponsorship at risk.
That's a part of why we wound up in a situation where some people don't even know their head from a hole in the ground and can barely point to the us on a labeled world map, and those are the "sane" people in your mind.
so, if conspiracy theorists are crazy, then crazy is catching. Unfortunately, so many others are getting dumber by the minute... and that part scares me, because when the market bubble bursts, which is a when and not an if, all these child like people will be on the streets burning whole cities to the ground.

Only to themselves.
You see, believe it or not, almost nobody accepts the claims you are making, like OKC. It is only the fringe conspiracy nuts that accept those "facts", the vast majority of people reject your "facts" as "fantasy".
Mostly because many have not looked over the facts. However, the numbers are far larger than you would expect still.
When you are talking about more recent events, particularly; sandy hook, the Boston bombing, etc... People believing the story out of hand are a slim minority to those who call bs on some or all of them.
It's too bad you stopped reading that post you responded to so soon... I anticipated a more thorough response. If the position is really "crazy" as you claim with no evidence and at most the mastery of psychology one might attain from reading a couple articles of psychology today, then the positions would be EASILY shown to be false.
I've been talking about 911 truth since about the time where the invasion of Afghanistan had begun... Hoping I could be shown wrong, but still over a decade later and the closest I get is absurd self-debunking talking points, and people who seem to spend about 10-12 hours per day every day doing nothing but trying to debunk "conspiracy theories".
In that time I've seen the change, it went from hostile, to curious, to engaging, and now, the only people left are those who spend an inordinate amount of their lives trying to debunk the truthers... When in reality, it's a majority that know they were lied to, whether or not they have tried to examine and find the truth.

No, Johnson really did stage the Gulf of Tonkin.
They called all those hippies "conspiracy theorists", remember?
The sailors aboard USS Maddox would disagree - as would the bullet holes in the ship.
Oh, so now you speak for long-dead sailors, and even bullet holes?
Y'all are too funny. Laughable, really. :lamo

Lieutenant Commander Dempster M. Jackson, USN, Executive officer of USS Maddox (DD-731), kneels next to the hole made by the machine gun bullet that hit his ship's Mk.56 director pedestal during the engagement between Maddox and three North Vietnamese motor torpedo boats on 2 August 1964. The bullet is lodged in the hole. Taken by a USS Ticonderoga (CVA-14) photographer on 10 August 1964. Official U.S. Navy Photograph, from the collections of the Naval Historical Center.
Now if somebody was to ask me if I believe that President Johnson took advantage of a minor incident and used it as a fait accompli to expand the war, I most certainly agree. Much like many took the sinking of the USS Maine to push the country into a war. Do I think the incident was exagerated, yes.
Do I think it was staged, or a conspiracy about an event that never happened? No, of course not. Trying to say this never happened would be like denying that the USS Liberty, USS Pueblo, USS Stark, or the SS Mayaguez incidents ever happened.

You do know that Hanoi has acknowledged they attacked the USS Maddox (DD731) on 2 August, 1964, right?
But, they were in on it also! They were also ruled by their own MIC and profited by the expansion of the war! And, and, and, of course the Jews were behind all of them, through their puppets in Moscow! Because we all know the Communists are really run by Jewish bankers!
