Anyone who has ever tried arguing with a "9/11 truther" or a "birther" should be able to identify with this list.
1) You must completely ignore the mainstream media with its thousand of reporters and correspondants and dismiss them as being corporate controlled, zionist controlled and utterly untrustworthy. Meanwhile any internet blog, youtube clip or agenda driven website where contributors can post whatever crap they want can be immediately believed without question.
2) Whenever someone dismisses one of your warped and paranoid conspiracy theories you must immediately label them as either a "mindless drone," a "sheeple" or claim that they're too naive and dumbed down by pop culture to understand the vast complexities and horrible truths that you and your own little mind can comprehend.
3) When frustrated by your inability to win an argument based on validated facts you must resort to becoming angry and abusive and parade out a series of childish insults while still pretending to be enlightened and more intelligent than anyone else.
4) You must only embrace witness accounts and expert testimony from the select few who spout and confirm your preferred version of an event. Meanwhile far more numerous witness accounts and expert testimony from those who do not spout or confirm your preferred version of events should be conveniently ignored.
5) When you realize your proof of a given conspiracy is thin and laughably flimsy you must then turn the tables on your adversary and demand that they prove a negative by saying, "Okay, well then prove my theory ISN'T true!"
6) It is entirely possible for hundreds, if not thousands of people (politicians, journalists, military officers) to keep a devilish secret from leaking out for years at a time.
7) You must claim that extremely partisan, divided and incompetent governments are monolithic entities where numerous politicians from conflicting parties can SUDDENLY come together and completely agree in unison to commit brilliantly elaborate and complex acts in order to control the masses.
8 ) With all the massive problems that the country has both at home and abroad you must remain convinced that the government has nothing better to do than to monitor every aspect of your boring life by reading your emails and listening to your phone calls. You must maintain this belief in order to feed your delusional sense of self-importance.
9) You must desperately cling to and defend the most idiotically laughable and easily debunked conspiracy theories while failing to see the irony when you call everyone else "stupid" for not believing you.
10) When all else fails; anyone who disagrees with any one of your conspiracy theories must automatically be labeled as a Fox News viewer.
