Abstract:
Conscience of a Conspiracy Theorist seeks to show how governmental deceit and (corporate-controlled) media silence have combined to keep the public misinformed about shocking events in American history. In the process, skeptics who question the ?official accounts? are labeled ?conspiracy theorists,? a pejorative term that carries with it suggestions of foolishness and a lack of patriotism.
