Yes, Virginia, there ARE such things as conspiracies...
Anybody who doesn't believe conspiracies exist is either naive or a fool. Governments are essentially conspiracies, international banking is a conspiracy, religion and government-controlled education are just a
few of the
multitudes of conspiracies. Just so we're all on the same page:
con·spir·a·cy (kn-spîr-essē)
n. pl. con·spir·a·cies

2. A group of conspirators.

4. A joining or acting together, as if by sinister design
Sub`ver´sive
a. 1. Tending to subvert; having a tendency to overthrow and ruin.
Naturally, none of the above-mentioned cabals promote themselves as a "conspiracy", nor do any of their leaders claim the title of "Conspirator in Chief". And, please understand that
not all participants in a conspiracy are aware of the organizations conspiratorial design and function. There are idealists of all stripes in almost every organization. Our current government administration meets
all four definitions of the word "conspiracy".
Whether you believe it or not, accept for a moment that the world is governed by greed... greed for
power and
control. This is
not necessarily greed for
wealth, but wealth and power - more often than not - go hand-in-hand. (The "Golden Rule" is not the "Do unto others..." that we were taught, although that one is a
more principled philosophy. The "Golden Rule",
as practiced, is: "Whoever
has the gold,
makes the rules".) Power and control
do not have to be "bought" in the traditional sense (remember Jim Jones of the "People's Temple" and David Koresh [born Vernon Howell] of the "Branch Davidian"? A very good con-artist doesn't need a nickel of his own to begin a long-con scam. There are so many naive people in the world, all searching for something -
anything - to believe in, that if someone gives them a glimmer of hope, and a
promise to fulfill that hope, they will
cheerfully give to that person everything they own). Apparently, the majority of America's voters (which includes the previously deceased, and the "psychologically indebted" illegal aliens) were easily conned during the last election.
For the most-part, politicians are nothing more - or
less - than con-artists when dealing with their constituency. Their motto is "Tell 'em whatever you think they
want to hear, then do what you damn-well please." They
bribe the voters with an avalanche of promises, yet keep
only those made to their largest financial supporters. Politicians build their entire careers playing to the hopes and dreams of John Q. Public, and the financial backing of "
Big Money".
Banks do essentially the same thing, only (initially) they feed into John Q's hopes and dreams, and then have the ever-present (yet never mentioned) "fear of loss" from borrowers to leverage them into compliance with the lenders. The so-called (and privately owned) "Federal Reserve" and the World Bank are prime examples of the exerting of "leveraged compliance". When our government has to borrow money from
questionable sources, who have
never shown us any goodwill - like China - it's tantamount to one of us borrowing from a loan shark (when the trade imbalance between two nations is 4 times in favor of one's trading partner, it's obviously time to
renegotiate the terms of trade).
Religions primarily "play both ends against the middle". Religion's mantra is basically, "If you live your life the way
we say you should, your
reward will be everlasting life", at the same time implying that, if you
don't comply, your
punishment will be 10 rounds with
Satan, and an eternity of
hellfire and damnation! Those are the "carrot and the stick" of
most organized religions (exception: Anton Lavey's "Church of Satan", where, I assume the rewards and punishments must be reversed.)
Compulsory education - or, as l prefer to call it - compulsory
indoctrination (as established by the government, and in many ways, controlled by
several levels of government. But, the feds control most of the
money, so they pretty-much control the curriculum in our public schools. Control of education gives them an easier flock of sheeple to "manage".
Just my thoughts - and I'm sure there are
many who will disagree with me. Pax...
