That is something that always caught my attention. Sometimes the theories are arguable, such as the J.F.K magic bullet theory. While some are just plain stupid and very oddly specific, like how some believe that no planes were used in 9-11. To the oddly specific, how lizard people rule the world and are in disguise. Why lizard people? Why not ducks or ants or birds? So now, instead of me writing a page on speclation on what we discussed in class and what Professor Harris has said, here is an interesting article I found on why conspiracies exist and how they arise.

Personally, i think the theories arise from a lack of believe, something that we don't want to happen has happened. The death of J.F.K was so tragic, people did not want to except the fact that he is dead and tried to find other explanations. But with the lizard people, i have still have no idea
