Who gets to decide....I guess in the Sunstein mind, the men behind the curtain do. Theirs, that blame scapegoats, are good. Those that blame them, or their beloved system, are bad.
Yup.
A corrupt and filthy food chain - just visit an abattoir - driving down the price offered farmers to ensure maximum profits for multinational corporations - the real "conspiracy", is an inconvenient truth.
Better to blame the arms dealer Viktor Bout and those dirty Romanians running an "international criminal conspiracy" - a very convenient lie.
A "conspiracy theory" that Sunstein & his ilk can approve of.
