Why Not?
Why can't we even ask questions about where these warnings came from? (...)Why ask why?
We can always ask questions. Perhaps our first task is to attempt to pin down the sources that the original journalists used to write about them.
It's labeled a conspiracy theory for a reason. Some certain groups of individuals either actually knew the answers or they didn't.
Other groups spread the information. (or disinformation)
It's a bit like JFK and the grassy knoll. All that we will likely ever have are theories.

The Flip Side To Freedom Of Speech
Freedom of speech is a mixed blessing. There is never one side or one truth that anyone human possesses (with one notable exception that critics attempt to disprove since two thousand years ago)
With freedom of speech comes the responsibility to discriminate and choose the most likely accurate information. We all have our biases.
Some actually prefer the information assembled by Richard Carrier or Alex Jones.
They have found their source palatable. (If not accurate)
Who can determine ultimate truth and/or accuracy?
