Why do some people believe in conspiracy theories?

[John Iacoletti]

Largely from the conspiracy-monger mindset that all evidence is either faked, planted, or altered.

In other words, no justification at all.

You can't even identify anybody who argues that "all evidence is either faked, planted, or altered".

You lot self-identify. Faked, planted, altered is the lingo commonly used by conspiracy-mongers pushing a coverup agenda

Feel free to point out where any CT has ever identifified even a single piece of evidence as valid.

Go ahead Crapman.... Quote me as saying at anytime, that I said, that all of the evidence is faked planted or altered....

I most certainly do NOT believe that....As a matter of fact if you didn't have your head somewhere other than squarely on your shoulders you'd know that I disagree vociferously with those who believe that all of the Back Yard photos are fakes that were created by the conspirators.   I believe that one and possible two of the BY photos are genuine photos that were created by Lee Oswald....  I believe that he created CE 133A  as part of the hoax plot to  make it appear that Lee Oswald had attempted to shoot General Walker. 

Now then... as you were saying Mr Crapman.....  Oh BTW...  It appears that you're getting your butt kicked....

IMO, a much more interesting question is why are LNers so gullible?  Are they shills, gamers, or do they just have a strained relationship with truth and logic?

"you lot" is Chapman-speak for "no, I can't actually cite anybody saying that".

Identifified?

Walt has already given you one answer.

I think lots of the "so-called" evidence is valid.  It just doesn't prove that Oswald shot Kennedy.
