/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

If you think the general public would come behind what wormhole X-treme is concealing, you'd have to believe in stargate being real irl as well. Something like that.
It's a matter of scale.
For a conspiracy to be realistic, to even function at all, the smallest possible amount of people would have to be involved in maintaining it.
Even before the end SG1, the Stargate Program involved thousands of individuals across multiple countries, and multiple departments, including civilian. That's just counting the ones that are supposed to be involved with the Stargate Program.
Beyond a certain scale no amount of plausible deniability will be enough to keep something secret. And that needs to be respected in story telling in order to suspend disbelief.
