Quote from: bitrebel
I've been a conspiracy researcher for a long time, going on 20 years or so, way before the internet was ever popular. I hate to ever accuse people of things without evidence though, but when dealing with mysterious, shadowy people online, one has to consider all possibilities.
Oh so you hate to accuse people without evidence, but you just had to accuse someone without evidence. Theorizing can be a fun little hobby no doubt, its more reliable to stick with the facts though. You can weave plenty of tales that sound within the realm of possibility with just theory, that does not mean they have any basis in reality.
Which is more likely, that someone fucked up with their lack of security precautions, or that this is some elaborate plot by the CIA? And don't get me wrong I think nothing of the CIA at all, to me they are but one arm of the mafia. But I have also seen endless droves of people who wildly imagine and overrate what the government is capable of. Read a history book of the CIA, what you will uncover is a wasteful bureaucratic mess of an institution that has only been good at fucking up their operations and failing to see the reality of the matters they deal with.
But back to probability. Just instinctively, reasonably, the first scenario of him just screwing up on his security detail is by far more likely. So what would make you drag the CIA in to this picture, is there any evidence of them being involved? No, there are just random theories. To many conspiracy theorists ( I don't necessarily use that term in the prejorative) attribute god like qualities to institutions like the CIA. Something does not go the way they want it to (that couldn't happen, the world isn't that chaotic of course!), so their minds jump to groups like the CIA as the cause. To me I think its a more reasonable theory that you want this story to be true, as a sort of hobbyist you dig around for these types of things, see something that isn't there. You are like agent Moulder from the X-files, you want to believe. But its not just you of course, these types are everywhere on the internet.
There are good conspiracy theorists, and then there are bad conspiracy theorists. Unfortunately the latter group far outnumbers the the former. If you want to learn to distinguish the two, and become a "good conspiracy theorist" I suggest you read this article by Murray Rothbard.

Woah I know dude, that is like far out!
The self-employed, people who work out of their homes, etc
