Oh, well, I would hardly go linking it all together in a single conspiracy chain. Nope. I think there are a tremendous number of conspiracies afoot at all times, and many of them never come to fruition and are never heard of even if they do come to fruition.

That is to say...

The U.S. State Department is constantly conspiring to accomplish various things in various other countries, and so is the CIA, and so are the Russians, and so are the Israelis, and so are the Chinese, and the British, and the French, and the Saudis, and the Indians, and the Pakistanis....everybody! High level conspiracies, yessiree. And that's just on the governmental level.

Then you have conspiracies by the American Mafia and the Japanese Jakuza and the Sicilian Mafia and Al Queda and the Tamil Tigers and whoever the hell else...on the non-governmental level.

Then you have conspiracies by businessmen and bankers to eliminate competition, increase their profits, launder money, etc.

These are all conspiracies. Why? Because they are plans made in secret by a group of people with an objective. The objective is usually financial or it has to do with acquiring power or damaging an enemy. It may have to do with some form of political objective.

Whatever.

At any rate, the world is absolutely full of conspiracies, most of which we will never even hear of, and many of which will fail, while others will succeed.

That's why it's so hilarious that the term "conspiracy theory" has become a way for debunkers to make fun of people whose ideas they wish to put down.

Conspiracies are the rule, not the exception. The "good guys" in this world (whoever they might be?) engage in conspiracies too...all the time...because a secretly agreed upon plan of action IS a conspiracy, and that's how you defeat an opposing force, by secrecy. If it wasn't a conspiracy...meaning "wasn't secret"...then they'd see it coming in adance, be able to counter it, and it wouldn't work so well at all.

So...what I'm saying here is simply this: Major political, financial, military, and social events that achieve major change are very seldom triggered by one lone individual who acts entirely on his own. They are usually triggered by a well organized group of people with a plan who are not letting everyone know exactly what they're up to....and that's a conspiracy.

The 911 attack, for instance, was obviously achieved through a conspiracy (only point of debate is....who exactly were the conspirators, and exactly how did they organize and accomplish all that happened?).

The Pearl Harbor attack was achieved by a conspiracy (on the part of the Japanese military and government).

The failed attempt in 1944 to assassinate Hitler was a conspiracy. Too bad it failed.

All surprise military attacks are the result of conspiracies. All hostile takeovers in business are done by conspiracies. Anything that involves more than one person to set it up and is wholly or partially secret in its planning is a conspiracy.

The world is full of conspiracies. It always has been. It's normal human behaviour to conspire, it's business as usual.

And so is terrorism, by the way. It's usually committed by legal governments rather than just the ragtag illegal groups that governments choose to call "terrorists"....but governments have such a high and mighty opinion of their own glorious moral imperative to do whatever they want to do that they would never admit to being the number one terrorists in the world themselves. They're not honest enough to admit to that.
