Now expunged on the internet elsewhere was a long, long post in which I said I thought there has only ever been ONE conspiracy in human history - that being the conspiracy of the rich and powerful over all others. This continuous conspiracy takes many forms, and its various hydra heads pop up all the time and everywhere as (for example): JFK, MLK, RFK, and thousand of other assassinations; Iran-Contra, Watergate and endless manufactured and hidden scandals; _______ war (just fill in the blank); bankster crashes, stashes and thefts - plus monetary manipulations; government overthrows; covert operations (why do you think they call it the 'company'?!); manipulation/control of the media - i.e. propaganda; control of all natural assets of value that are the common heritage and the assets of all by the few; deep political machinations and control mechanisms - voting is a joke, as is representative democracy when 1$ = 1 vote; faux and controlled investigations of malfeasance and any peek into any of the above; divide and conquer techniques; military and police to protect the Oligarchy, not the People; rascism, sexism, slavery - even economic slavery; wars of drugs; wars of terror; and endless other control mechanisms. Just isolated/connected little 'tips' of the same deep political/unethical never melting 'iceberg' floating in spacetime on Earth. Sadly. IMO :ridinghorse: There is of course slight [SLIGHT] advances and retreats of the battle lines between the top Oligarchy and the Plebs [sounds like classwar to me!] over time and in certain places. In the West we the Demos were moving our picket pins forward in the 60s and early 70s IMO and have been in steady retreat ever since. At the moment we all but a few seem to be at the edge of the abyss - we have no choice but to fight or be pushed over that abyss to our total and common deaths - dragging along this time - a new feature! - much of the other species with us - including the Oligarchy who think they are immune to destruction of the Environment and fouling of our own 'bed'. One can only hope that sentient beings are doing better on other Planets elsewhere in the Universe. IMO, things are looking VERY bad now, here on our Planet. Take it back! Now!
