Questioning is good. It is the lack of questioning, that comes across like an automatic response to blame a hidden, anonymous, secretive "elite" for everything.

People making money off those web pages you are quoting aren't interested in truth. They are just making a buck in another way, by catering to people who may not be able to figure out they are being had. You are railing against a group that you think is controlling things, while giving in to another group that is doing exactly the same thing.
