You hear the noise about conspiracy theories. Whether it's the moon landing, the kennedy assassination, or something more recent, there seem to always be people who believe there's a massive coverup and everyone is somehow good at keeping secrets.
And then you look at the insurrection, and hear "some people" saying that it wasn't much of anything, it was spontaneous, it was not planned.
But yet there are people looking to save their own hide, people who want to get attention, and stupid idiots who just spill the beans about everything.
It becomes obvious that what "they" were telling about its origin and what happened is a lie.
In other words, they couldn't keep something like this a secret for a few months, and not in the face of legal actions and a congressional committee.
So how in the world could a high profile conspiracy like the moon landing have possibly kept this up for over 50 years?
Surely someone would have talked. Tried to brag. Been subjected to something in their lives that would have had them open up. Had a death bed moment.
Same with the kennedy assassination. That had a bipartisan, bicameral committee asking questions. Ain't no way to keep those secrets.
Sure, there are questions and doubts about JFK, and perhaps the bow they tied it up with was a little too neat. But a vast conspiracy? Don't think so.
