thanks fran. I find conspiracies to be most boring relative to "invisible hand" systems. IE, the amazing propaganda systems of the developed world which develop not out of conspiracy but out of a variety of common influences (profit motive, wealth of ownership, and the nature of advertising namely) profoundly more interesting because their nature is much more mysterious and powerful, they are more than the sum of their parts, like the human brain. anyway, don't mean to jack the thread.
if you like conspiracy theories, google MK ultra.
