I don't really buy that. I think the truth as portrayed by the most common sources is so often wrong that the people who think conspiracy theorists are nuts, (and they may be) actually might be the crazy ones.
I don't think Obama is prepping his secret military for his permanent take over in 16 months. I don't think WalMarts are closing and being retrofitted into FEMA camps.

But I also know that the same people who brought you Jessica Lynch, Pat Tillman, Osama Bin Laden, the Nayirah testimony, Weapons of mass destruction, The Innocence of Muslims, Project Northwoods, Project Hammer, The Gulf of Tonkin, JFK, Iran Contra, Pinochet, drugs, drugs and the war on drugs and on and on, are probably not the best source of truth.
