Extremely well said, and thank you. Reason, self-examination, the practice of sound judgment. One who has consistently been misled and lied to may question that the official story is true in all of its details without buying into a conspiracy theory.
I will add this regarding conspiracies, since I have not seen it stated so far. In general, I doubt the existence of longlasting conspiracies, for one simple reason: People are lousy at keeping secrets. The bigger the conspiracy, the sooner it is likely to collapse.
I do not think John Kennedy was assassinated by one marksman shooting from the Texas Book Depository (how did he manage to shoot our President in the front of the head?), and I rather think that at least some of those who witness UFOs are seeing something not explicable in conventional terms. But in neither case do I feel compelled to assume a vast top-level conspiracy to hide the truth. Sheer human incompetence argues against the likelihood.
