I don't know, but if it was faked, I could certainly see why America would do so for propaganda purposes. Better than most conspiracies where some enigmatic group does something sinister that somehow vaguely furthers their goal of 'taking over the world'.

    but confirmation bias is quite addictive and powerful so many can't let go of their snags.

    Exactly, it is comforting for some people to believe that malevolent forces orchestrate the entirety of world events, rather than believing bad things happens with no greater plan whatsoever. It is more comforting for some people to believe in cruel order over chaos.

    cruel order creates chaos...

    everything being "random" is just analytical philosophy sophist bullshit. things happen for a reason, people interact with their own agency which affects time and the course of reality.
