One is free to ask questions, likewise the Government or anyone with first-hand knowledge of the event is free to respond in any manner they choose including ignoring one completely by being silent . Silence is speech and speech is protected under the 1st Amendment of the United States Constitution.

Citing a known Nazi sympathizer and antisemite in David Irving is not a credible way to ask a question. Such a source suggests one has already made up their mind and will not accept any evidence to the contrary that which does not confirm their view of the situation.

Thus, it is pointless in answering questions because if one already has their mind made up and cannot be persuaded to see another's point of view, it is no longer a discussion between two sensible individuals. It is an inquisition where one party constantly harasses the other party with questions and will take any straw of evidence and distort it just to confirm their view, which is not open to persuasion.

I myself stay away from conspiracy theories entirely. Conspiracy theorists including Jim Marrs are masters of confusing correlation with causation. Correlation is when two, unrelated events coincide. Causation is the cause of one event. Henceforth, conspiracy theories as a matter of intellectual inquiry are entirely invalid on their face because they cannot prove causation to back up their correlation. To prove anything you need causation to link A to B, B to C, C to D, and on. With correlation and all conspiracy theories all you have is A, B, C, D = E with no causal linkage explaining when and how A leads to B, how B leads to C, how C leads to D, and so forth.

I respect intellectual inquiry, but it needs to be backed up if one is making the claim that a significant world event was fabricated by a government for whatever reason.
