How do conspiracy theorists get all of their coveted secret government information if it's meant to be hidden and the government would never hand it over?
It's a curious thing. I'm not dismissing any of their claims, but I find it a bit interesting that they can so easily uncover everything that the government doesn't want you to know when it's hidden for a reason.

Conspiracy theories can be revealed to be true. They're not all bullshit.
In the 90s I was in the rabbit hole about Echelon and had a healthy paranoia about my privacy.
So when Snowden dropped the leaks about mass government surveillance I wasn't surprised at all. I assumed everyone knew. But nope - apparently Echelon was a "conspiracy theory" and so was all the Snowden stuff until - it wasn't.
That's my personal experience but there's others like MKUltra.
Echelon was not so much a conspiracy theory as a sad game of telephone where increasingly disturbed people projected their increasingly distorted paranoias onto an actual thing.
Same with HAARP. Yes, it as exists. No, It does not do that. Or that. Or even that.
But it did give us a damn fine concert movie from Muse, and that's indisputable.
