jonathan kay is my editor and the author of "among the truthers." i have not had the pleasure of meeting webster tarpley before today. our topic tonight is conspiracy theories. we have an analyst and a practitioner. so where does the tendency come from? how do we cope with it? we see patterns, we look at gm on the bread and see human face. we see the man in the moon. it can produce results that are entertaining or sinister. jon that then led us on an amazing two were in "among the truthers" and we have some of that today. i have great confidence while many of us are foolish not the species is wise back out at every time there are wild allegations and constrained away i have no doubt that is the out, the process we will start with jonathan k then continue with webster tarpley. [applause] >> thank you very much. i admire david's confidence the truth will e merge. looking at the comments i had less faith of the human capacity for reason. i imagine we have seen the minds in the audience. david said humans are pattern seeking creatures. that is the theme
