Monday night, several hours after the Boston Marathon attack, the governor of Massachusetts held a nationally televised news conference.

The first question came from a conspiracy theorist who had worked his way into the news conference. If questions were bombs, the one he asked would have exploded.

“Is this another false flag staged attack to take our civil liberties and promote homeland security?”

Translation: The Boston bombs were the work of the U.S. government who will pin them on someone else in order to further gain power over citizen rights.

Think this is a feverish theory talked about only in the basements of society?
