Conspiracy theories are of extreme interest to me, this is due to a late-night syndicated radio show called Coast To Coast AM, a show about mainly the paranormal, aliens and of course: conspiracy theories.

They are also known as the 9/11 truth people. They are usually at ground zero, they have made a unpleasant appearance on Real Time With Bill Maher, in which Bill Maher himself had kicked one of the members out who interrupted him a few times. Along with the theories and evidence on YouTube, they also have responded to him in a form of a video in a parody of his ‘New Rules’ segment he does at the end of each show.
