Has anything ever happened that has been tragic in the US that is not a conspiracy? Just wondering. I can't think of one major event where there has been a mass loss of life/someone famous dying that some people are not convinced is a conspiracy. And, the conspriacy people have such obvious proof that you would have to be a fool or naive not to believe.
Real life disasters are messy and chaotic and leave unanswered questions. Any time anything big happens there will be unanswered questions and things that don't quite make sense or we dont have answers for. A commision to investigate anything will ALWAYS - in the minds of conspiracists create more proof of conspriacy. Why? Because it will create more information that will be picked through for inaccracies, mis-statements, etc. So, basically if a gov investigates and finds nothing they are covering up. If they don't bother to investigate some crack pot theory they are covering up.
The belief that there has to be something rational (ie A conspriacy by a ultra powerful group usually the US Gov, Free Masons, Jews, etc) behind something that is so tramatic, senseless and haunting is apparently human nature. No proof will ever make certain people believe otherwise.
Let's see, off the top of my head:
JFK
MLK
RFK
Malc X
Marilyn Monroe
9/11
Ok City
Crack Cocaine
Iran Hostages
Lincoln
McKinnely
Katrina
The Tsunami in Asia
Pearl Harbor
Man on the Moon
Tupac...
No wonder our government sucks. They have their hands completely full pulling off all these capers and keeping everyone quite about it.
I cant think of any more tragedies otherwise the list would be much longer. Natural disasters used to be off limits due to the fact they are obviously natural and not man made, but that trend is changing with more creative people able to link them to the evil doings. The Tsunami was obviously caused by the under water testing of a secret weapon and New Orleans was flooded by the government blowing up the leavees. I really haven't heard any conspiracies on global warming yet, but mark my words, it is a conspiracy. As large and wide ranging as it is, that one will be easy to "prove".
That being said, I love to watch shows about conspriacies - Da Vinci Code, JFK, UFO's all that crap. Its fun to think, what if.
