Conspiracy theorists. Or maybe just, a conspiracy theory. The definition of the conspiracy theory is the belief that some covert but influential organization is responsible for some unexplained event.
Personally I think that definition is a bit overdone. Reason being, in today's world it does not take much to be a covert organization. At the very least, technically being a covert organization could be a label placed on many organizations today. Now let's look at the nature of what a conspiracy theory is at its heart, and give it my personal definition. It is a theory or a description of an idea of something that has taken place or will take place due to a series of events occurring in a specific order to achieve a certain result, often to fulfill the goal or objective of someone else. And actually, the whole specific order thing can even be removed from the equation and my new definition would still hold true.
Using the above description (of either definition) you could place almost anything or any event into a scenario theory and it would fit. Let's try it. The hostage crisis that recently took place with the old man and the 3rd grade kid that was taken. Thankfully it all eventually ended up with the child being safely rescued. But looking at the entire situation could someone have come out and said that the old man was mentally ill because of something that was done to him during his time as a soldier during World War 2? Sure.. someone could say that. Would that make it true? Certainly not. However, this would not stop someone from claiming this and it would also not stop people from wondering, just how close that story was to the truth.
Could all of this be gibberish? Well of course it could. My suggestions are just the same as anyone else's.. just another attempt at a conspiracy.
