Conspiracy theories of this sort thrive because they are almost impossible to thoroughly refute. In other words they thrive on ignorance. You would have to have a broad knowledge of international banking, the US Economy, curreny exchanges, the Fed itself, plus the time to sift through all the crap on those sites and rebut every point.

And supposing someone actually took the time to do that, what would the result be? Because the conspiracy theorist can add more bullshit to his theory than a rebutter can research and refute, the rebuttal would be wasted. Why? Notice that those demanding the disproof are the same people who were credulous enough to have fallen for those tactics when believing in the theory in the first place. You'd undoubtedly just fall for the same trick again.

It just ain't worth it. Believe what you will

Honest mistakes are made, but people would avoid believing bullshit 90% of the time if they just recognized when they were not yet qualified to form definitive opinions on a particular subject.
