"I am a "conspiracy theorist". I believe men and women of wealth and power conspire. If you don't think so, then you are what is called "an idiot". If you believe stuff but fear the label, you are what is called "a coward"."
-Dave Collum
If you don't think the wealthy and powerful meet and develop secret plans, you've got just about zero understanding of world history. Whether it's the death of Julius Caesar, Michael Collins and the IRA, or the faking of the Gulf of Tonkin incident, conspiracies have been a major factor in shaping the world for thousands of years.
