Suspicious minds

Conspiracy theories. Aren't they really about people feeling scammed, taken for a ride, fed a line? The Big Guy (Government or other conglomerates*) putting one over on the Little Guy? Conspiracy theories ebb and flow, based on the current level of trust that all's right with the complex world. Some enduring Conspiracy Theories:
Implicated parties include the usual suspects: Mafia, Cubans, CIA, LBJ, Soviets, the Federal Reserve, the Teamsters and some guys in New Orleans. After the Cuban Missile Crisis one year before, representing potential nuclear devastation and the insidious Communist Threat, suspicious seeds were planted: How could one gunman steal the dream of Camelot? 2. Who killed Marilyn Monroe? See above. Subtract a few suspects and add the Kennedys. 3. Moon landings were staged. The late '60s made everyone suspicious about everything. 4. Products, ranging from fast food chains to local soda pop, contain ingredients to sterilize African American men/AIDS is genocide. Suspicion probably connected to the Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male (1932-1972). Also, a long national history of racism. 5. Aliens landed at Roswell, New Mexico. Do you suppose Super Secret Manhattan Project's detonation of the atomic bomb in Los Alamos, New Mexico, two years earlier kept people from accepting official explanations? Note: No endorsements. Just a theory. *Media included. Reportedly aired only once on Saturday Night Live, then excised from reruns.
