If conspiracy theorists come with sufficient facts to make a good case, it becomes useful, and then it is the news. Until then, well, good for you, keep looking, but don't expect anyone to care about your passtime until you have enough solid evidence to convince us. The false positive rate is too high to pay attention before then.

What a very sugary way of viewing things. Expecting gripping journalism. It's not like the US government has ever attempted to manipulate the media-oh, wait... http://www.aarclibrary.org/publib/contents/church/contents_church_reports.htm http://www.aarclibrary.org/publib/contents/church/contents_c... (the Church reports cover on many things, including Operation Mockingbird and NSA surveillance... all the way back from 1975). Even without that, it's ridiculously ignorant to expect intelligence operations to end up as national news all the time. The Snowden revelations were an exception because of the breadth and due to the fact that the people had already had enough by then. The Gulf of Tonkin documents are here: http://www.nsa.gov/public_info/declass/gulf_of_tonkin/ http://www.nsa.gov/public_info/declass/gulf_of_tonkin/ Clipper chips have a Wikpedia article on them and caused uproar amongst the tech community in the early 90s, you should be aware of that. Right? Operation Gladio is extensively documented fact. The precise details are debatable, but its existence and general goals are undeniable. Once again, Wikipedia article. So on and so forth. You're no better than a creationist telling people to "show them the evidence". Keep reading CNN, what do I care...
