very interesting articleThe good ones are logically consistent, very plausible, and frequently "equipped with everything associated with a scientific paradigm as understood by modern history of science" (Groh 4). But unlike academic hypotheses, particularly in the field of history, conspiracy theories leave no loose ends. Absolutely everything is accounted for, fitting together into a single jigsaw puzzle. The conspiracist begins with the completed puzzle, however, rather than its pieces, or in Timothy Melley's phrase, "the master narrative" (Melley 8). Although Melley says that conspiracies are "hermetically sealed," I would assert that conspiracy theories are also hermetically sealed, due to a worldview which abhors both coincidence and ambiguity.
Because things are not the way they're supposed to be, people search for the guilty: who is responsible? This view is quite evident in African American culture, according to Patricia A. Turner, who documents the history of conspiracy and contamination motifs in Black American folklore (Turner 6).

Conspiracy theory is no more than a derogatory term used to dismiss critical thinkers.
Funny how things that start out as conspiracy theory end up as truth.
Saddam's WMD.
MLK assassination ordered by Hoover.
Osward having nothing to do with JFK's murder.
