The oddest thing is people believing that there
aren't conspiracies...when all around them they are happening.
In essence..government itself is a form of conspiracy. It could be a record companies plan to market an artist far beyond their talent that involves promoters, pr agents record stores etc.Or a supermarket chain bringing together a host of people to market goods that are sold as something close to a miracle-rather than what it really is-a loaf of bread..or an auto that wil change your life and have the ladies flocking to you. Need I go on ?
Of course..if you call the coming together of a group of people who form a plan to change the course of events..you only need call it something else..anything other than "conspiracy" and it is accepted. A marketing plan..political party ?.
One of the greatest catastrophes of the past century happened only 70 years ago as WW2 began which resulted in 55 million deaths and the decimation of much of Europe.
But the events leading up to WW2 involved vast conspiracies of people from many western countries. It wasn't just the Nazis forming a poltical party. They couldn't have done without the active participation of rich and powerful industrialists who saw in Hitler a crude and vulgar politician that had the ability to rally the masses.
Nor were they just the German elite..plenty of support came from British and American corporations and politicans including the Bush family who aided in raising the funds for the Nazi Party to prosper and grow.
The reasons as always were crass and the usual..the consolidation of power into the hands of the elite-the dampening of working classes as they became more organised..more profit-less labour costs.
In 2003 we have seen 2 powerful leaders combine and conspire to lie to their people in order to invade a sovereign country-Iraq. That that invasion would result n the deaths of thousands was of no importance. And those 2 men walk free today.
But behind those 2..and in particular George Bush were a group of men known as the infamous "neocons" who were all either remnants of the Nixon and Reagen presidencies..biding their time to return to power. Their plans weren't new though..even they will tell you that. What's 20-30 years to wait when domination of the Middle East is the game plan ?.
Why anyone on their right mind thinks that the world is somehow free of evil and powerful people who aren't constantly planning and manipualting events is bizarre
The hardest thing of couse is to work out just which world event, small and insignificant or huge and noticable-is part of a conspiracy. And it's only been in the past 30 years or so-since the 1960's, that "conspiracy thoeries" have become a thing to mock. Until then most people knew they abounded-they knew they were happening even if they didn't know who was in on the plot and where it was leading.
And that's the beauty of a conspiracy.
