Do we have a conspiracy-theory problem on our hands?
Once upon a time, Lara Logan was a leading figure in American journalism. Now, she’s a cautionary tale.
Ms. Logan is not the only celebrity who has surprised us with leaps into the netherworld of dark conspiracy and outright suspicion of authority figures, though. We have them here in Canada, as well. Ms. Salé, along with ex-NHL star Theo Fleury, now front an organization called Canadians for Truth, which holds travelling road shows for those interested in standing up “for truth, freedom and justice for all.”
Conspiracy theories, of course, have been around forever, and the United States has long been a breeding ground for them. Several have centred around the notion of alien life; anyone of a certain age will have heard that the U.S. government is keeping the bodies of aliens captured years ago in a secure facility in an Nevada desert somewhere. Theories about who shot John F. Kennedy continue to persist.
