Why have no alternatives used money as a way to break into the mythical conspiracy?
I'd suggest it because they are out to make money not spend it.

The people who come up with alternative theories, typically don't make money off their theories, and if they do, it's only because their uncle owns the publishing house or they belong to the same fraternal organization.

I dont usually get involved in these discussions but i can think of a few off the top of my head who have made a killing from their alternative theory's. Von Daniken, Hancock, Sitchen, Wyatt, Gray.
I'm not terribly happy with this conjecture on your part. The guys who make the REAL money, are the ones who you are defending.

Instead, some skeptic, writes it up as fiction and sells it to hollyweird as if it was all from their imagination.
Yes, and there is nothing wrong at all with being rewarded money.
In fact, I think academia is seriously pissed off that the public is not rewarding their work as much as much as it is rewarding the work of Bestelling authors such as hancock, bauval, sitchin, daniken, etc.
Most of the money made on this subject, is made by the mainstream, in the form of text books, school books, educational films and documentaries, college courses, teaching positions, seminars, in fact, they have a stranglehold on the subject. And if they aren't making money that way, they can always take the alternative theories of the guy they think is off his rocker, and turn it into a nice screenplay and make a bundle .
some poor schumuck probably considered the scientific possibility of these items before their time, originally, submitted them for consideration, was tiold he was crazier than a loon, and then had his theories turned into cold, hard, cash by some enterprising skeptic.
