Few significant events in history have ever taken place
without there being a conspiracy at some level.

Flags of Our Fathers (2006)

Ira Hayes: Hank wasn't in the [Iwo Jima flag raising] picture.

Bud Gerber: Sorry?

Ira Hayes: Hank didn't raise that flag. He raised the other one. The
real flag.

Bud Gerber: The what? The real... the real flag? There's a *real*
flag?

John "Doc" Bradley: Yeah, ours was the replacement flag. We put it up
when they took the other one down.

Bud Gerber: Am I the only one getting a headache here? You know about
this?

Keyes Beech: It was after it was already in the papers. The mothers
had already been told by then.

Bud Gerber: Aw, that's it, that's beautiful. Yeah, that's beautiful.
Yeah, why tell me? I'm only the guy that has to explain it to a
hundred and fifty million Americans. Who is in the goddamn picture?
Are *any* of you guys in the goddamn picture?

Ira Hayes: Yeah, we're in the goddamn picture.

Bud Gerber: Six guys raising a flag over Iwo Jima. Victory is ours.
You're three of them, right?

John "Doc" Bradley: This was the fifth day, sir. The battle went on
for thirty-five more.

Bud Gerber: Well, what'd you do, raise a goddamn flag every time you
stopped for lunch?

Thousands of people have claimed the moon landings to be a hoax.
So?

Scientists & engineers had the means, motive, and opportunity
to travel to the moon nine times, so they did.

Edward de Vere had the means, motive, and opportunity
to write plays anonymously under the name
of William Shakespeare, so he did.

William Shaksper had the means, motive, and opportunity
to educated his children and grandchild...but he didn't.
