By considering it a fact. Facts are just a stubborn opinion.

I guess you could do some research into the matter, maybe try contact some of the people in person. There are quite a few books on the subject but obviously finding them is difficult. If you're seriously interested in this as opposed to happily writing it off as fiction then I will get back to you with more detail.
How do you differentiate anything else you hear in news articles from fiction? Do you actually bother if it comes from what you consider to be a reputable source?

Well, pretty much every news story that I've had some sort of further knowledge of, I've seen an error in the reporting.
If you could provide me with one decent piece of evidence to support that theory, I would become interested. By one piece of evidence, I don't mean a mile long list of cryptic references that vaguely seem to refer to something when you play around with them.
One piece of decent evidence.

I believe that they can exist, I just dont believe the theories I have heard are true.

I wonder if I'm going to get that piece of evidence...?

There are so few people in this world that own everything. Less than 1% of 1% owns everything at one level or another.

I believe in a conspiracy .
I think there are a bunch of professional bullshit artists making up bullshit about what happened on 911 , smearing it all over books and DVDs and then selling it on amazon and wherever else . Right now I see over 400 books and DVDs on Amazon about our govt killing us on 911 just from searching 3 words. You think it would be difficult to find a book blaming Obama for the Boston bombings but it's not . It too easy if that's what you would like to hear.
It took me a few years to notice the conspiracy theories about sept 11 , I don't know when it started but I don't think they stated the next day .
Now a days conspiracy theories fly out on the Internet before the blood dries. It's become a way to achieve mediocre youtube fame .
I think conspiracy theories are usually all about making money off of ignorance somehow and rarely have anything to do with finding the truth.

The guy apparently fell asleep halfway through the movie "The Manchurian Candidate", then woke up to another movie about a girl who developed MPD, or Multiple Personality Disorder(3 Faces Of Eve) and somehow blended mind control, psychiatry, and mental illness together.
Naturally anyone who mistakenly believes 2 separate movie plots are only one will be confronted with inconsistencies of logic between the two plot-lines/worlds. And how do certain people deal with such inconsistencies? By creating a third reality that neatly explains the events giving him problems in he other. A theory involving people or forces both powerful enough and evil enough to make the extraordinary chain of events required to explain his distorted worldview as rational. A conspiracy theory involving dark and nefarious forces beyond yours and mine ability to hold accountable and therefore beyond the ability of us to categorically say weren't either - a hallmark feature of the typical conspiracy theorists efforts to make a complicated world more understandable to them.
