What if they are constantly thrown up so that we doubt their veracity and in doing so believe the "truth".

A kind of state sponsored double bluff where info is "leaked" to the public via sources seen by many as disreputable/lacking in credit/whackos etc thus making the real "truth" seen as nonsense?

Or are they just cobblers anyway and sometimes a cigar is simply a cigar?

Scott, you need to get out more before you disappear down your own navel.

(and yeah you are prolly right!)

im a sucka for conspiracy theories.. tho not passively

Who said that?
