US government knew 9/11 attacks were coming. I think it is higher than 41% though.

The problem with “conspiracy” theories is that they are used to polarise the facts.

Believe that Oswald did not act alone in JFK assassination 70% - he didn’t act alone, but was he the only shooter? Either way it’s a conspiracy
Russian collusion 49%. Collusion means crime. Interference maybe?
Space Aliens coming to earth 47% - this is just hope mixed with Star Trek convention juice
Believe US government knew 9/11 attacks were coming 41% - I’d believe this, I’m sure they did know. But did they know the exact date?
Birthers 24% what’s this, Obama is the son of the devil?
Truthers 15% what’s this?
Man on Moon was staged 14% some photos were probably “shopped” to improve post mission marketing. So what.

There is a theory that you heard of a war you didn't like.

Where are those WMD's? Why are we in Afghanistan again?

A lot of conspiracy films contain deliberately false information to mislead people into discrediting themselves. Like the debt based monetary system for example. No such thing.

Make a statement.
Give an example.
Then discredit it.

Nice try putting the Russian cullusion in with the others. Are you hoping for someone here to change their mind regarding whether this a witch hunt/conspiracy theory? People are either trusting Trump or not.

Secondly, given the high conspiracy theory percentages this must be American numbers.

- Believe that Oswald did not act alone in JFK assassination: Probably true.

- Russians helped install Donald J. Trump as POTUS: Definitely true.

- Space aliens coming to earth: They've been with us all along, now they're trying to figure out how in the hell to get out of here!

- Believe US government knew 9/11 attacks were coming: Probably had an idea, because of monitored chatter, but no specifics.

- "Birtherism": Donald J. Trump's vehicle of hatred. Though it's lost steering and brakes, it continues to careen through "low-information" states like Alabama.

- "Truthers": Folks fixated upon folk-tales and exaggerations in order to give meaning to otherwise miserable lives.

- Manned lunar landing was staged: One of mankind's greatest technological achievements. Its fact has been disputed, without evidence, by falsifiers; propagandists and the mentally ill. The conspiracies were likely instigated by jealous "Cold War" enemies.

80% of Americans believe in God, yet this is not ever called a conspiracy theory.

Why is it that aliens visiting Earth can be considered a conspiracy theory but not God?
