My sentiments exactly. You make my day.

Some people's 'conspiracy theories' reflect an extremely poor view of government in general, of educated professionals, and of humanity in general. The more individuals and groups involved in a 'conspiracy theory', i.e., the broader it is, the less plausible it is. Boxcutters and knives, people.

(I say this because a conspiracy consisting of the WHOLE of one, two or three smaller groups is more plausible than one in which large numbers of people are scattered across a large number of institutions. Whether or not it is their intention, were such a conspiracy theory be accepted as fact, government as an idea and professionalism as an idea would be discredited. Perhaps that IS the real intention here. But since when do Democrats renounce government, middle-class professionals and academics?)
