Where do you draw the line at conspiracy theories?..Is it not possible to have conspiracies for everything?..ive made up a rather silly example but i think youll get my drift......Youve got an interview with your already employer,to improve your position.So you catch your usual bus,but its 25mins late....you vaguely recognise the bus driver,but dismiss it.you just make it for your interview but youre all flustered.you find out later that the job went to a work colleague who youve only just started to speak to in the last few weeks........now from the end of that couldnt you come up with loads of reasons(conspiracies) to explain why you didnt get that job?

while I agree you can make a mountain out of a mole hill with anything, some Conspiracy "Theories" are simply un answered questions and un publicized info.... this is what makes them so potent....
2 guys arrested for murder... one guy goes down for having a knife...
a year later we find out both guys had a knife... whats going on?
why not ask?
if the govenment were not so secretive then there would be no conspiracy's...
the curious should not be questioned.... the people not speaking should be questioned.

Glad you got my point and i agree with your reply.If i could add further,even though its a daft little story someone could make a conspiracy theory out of it and run with it.they could say that the bus driver and the person that got the job conspired together to stop the other person getting the job,and they were related.....you could go on forever adding little bits until it sounded convincing....see what i mean.?

there is a very very slight difference you may see .... in your example, one has come up with a theory based on the events of one day. yes, it is a possibility, however.. since it is just one day of observation and research and thinking, ... about the events of one day, you could say the likelyhood of it's being 100% accurate is not very high.
In reference to Icke's work/theories; yes, they are a possibility.. however, since they are years and years of observation and research and thinking, and the information collected ties together thousands of years... you could say that the likelyhood here of it's being pretty accurate is more than just a good chance
