Did you READ the several posts that tear this conspiracy theory apart? A short list of logical flaws:

correlation = causation
post hoc ergo propter hoc (after this, therefore because of this)
poisoning the well
ad hoc (at the man...or, in this case, I should probably say The Man)

If you post, someone refutes, and in response to that you merely restate your original claim, that does not ammount to defending your arguement. That ammounts to plugging your ears and saying "I can't hear you...lalalalalalalalalalala".
