Yes, because it is rational. Maybe taking it this far isn’t when you consider personal impact, but questioning things is very rational, and there are more than enough legitimate examples (MKULTRA, Operation Northwoods, and countless other declassified operations that were regarded as conspiracies in their time) to justify not accepting things at face value.

There are declassified documents from the Warren Commission where they basically concede that parts of the CIA could have been involved. And there IS significant fishiness around 9/11 (the missing trillions, back when that was a lot, building 7, etc), it should be questioned. That doesn’t mean assuming US involvement, it just means not assuming that there wasn’t any. Because there it should be clear by now that most of government does not have the people as a priority.

The Epstein island was a “conspiracy theory” at least a decade before it was known, and it’s still considered “conspiracy thinking” to say it was an intelligence operation, when that’s the only rational explanation given all the details. And there was someone that had him suicided under the public eye, it’s not inconceivable to me that those same people would facilitate a domestic terror attack. Especially after reading declassified CIA documents proposing similar false flags.
