Conspiracy theorists or visionaries?
I was wondering if anyone can name a time and place where there were no major government conspiracies going on, which were generally disregarded by the population as false. I'm asking a serious question so I expect serious answers.
Nazi germany had the holocaust, which many germans still believe never happened. At around the same time the soviets had their own extermination of anti-communists political factions, so has every other communist nation that I know of. The Catholic church in europe had the crusades, and still hides the truth about that episode among other things. The only nations I can think of who seem to be immune are our current western regimes... Or are they. You let me know what you think.
Brown 950, actually it was a secret, the german media said that the jews were being taken to education camps, where they played soccer, ate well, and lived good lives, and would later be released in other countries. Also I am not talking about conspiracy theories, I'm talking about the real thing, conspiracies that get ignored and written off as false. I'm talking about U.S. involvement in 9/11, I'm talking about Obama FEMA camps, I'm talking about the patriot act which now applies to U.S. citizens. I'm talking about the high jacking of our government, which is painfully obvious if you don't close your eyes. Call me a conspiracy theorist if you will, but at least look where I get the information I use to formulate my opinions.

Well I would say you are woefully uninformed of American history just within the last 50 years the Nugan Hand Bank, BCCI, Banco Ambrosiano, the P2 Lodge, the CIA/Mafia anti-Castro/Kennedy alliance, Iran/Contra etc;
The claims of Michael Springman, State Department veteran of the Jeddah visa bureau, that the CIA ran the office and issued visas to al Qaeda members so they could receive training in the United States, sound like the sour grapes of someone who was fired for making such wild accusations.
That one of George Bush's first acts as President, in January 2001, was to end the two-year deployment of attack submarines which were positioned within striking distance of al Qaeda's Afghanistan camps, even as the group's guilt for the Cole bombing was established, proves that a transition from one administration to the next is never an easy task.
That so many influential figures in and close to the Bush White House had expressed, just a year before the attacks, the need for a "new Pearl Harbor" before their militarist ambitions could be fulfilled, demonstrates nothing more than the accidental virtue of being in the right place at the right time.

The Holocaust wasn't a secret.
People chose not to "know" about it.

There are conspiracy theories about everything. Eventually, one of them has to be true. Chance dictates it.

The Catholic church hides a lot of bad things in their past, but not the crusades
The US had the internment camps they like to ignore
