Conspiracy Realists and Conspiracy Loons

[Tracy Riddle]

When the US elite were allowed to go down the road of selfish greediness, reckless lying, deceit, murder, mayhem and the abandonment of core democratic principles (decades in the making - almost certainly as far back as 1963 - quite likely as far back as 1939, in fact)

1939?

Google -- the Gilded Age; the Monroe Doctrine; opium/slave trades.

The war with Mexico, the war of 1812, the ethnic cleansing of Native Americans, the Filipino insurrection...Yeah, this was never our country and we were foolish to think that it actually might change for the better someday.
