You are speculating. The history of science clearly shows how sometimes things like this can happen, however, it also shows that scientists are fickle and will change their minds in a heartbeat. So, a revolutionary theory, like evolution was in the beginning, considered to be not true, but never covered up. As time went by, more evidence was found and more scientists get on board. If some of the non-mainstream theories are correct, in time, they will come forward and become mainstream science. I think you are succumbing to conspiracy propaganda. The scientific process has been proven over time, and new theories have to wait their turn to be verified.
