Wow, people are kind of gullible, but that "extractor" device did look pretty convincing.

Sadly, these conspiracies are real.
"Remember when the Panama Papers came out and revealed that all the rich people in the world are part of enormous criminal conspiracy to dodge taxes and hoard stolen wealth in offshore accounts and literally nothing happened" --- and also see the comments.

UPDATE 2016-08-31: Failed miserably. The guy who posted this deleted all the details and then deleted his post, so it shows up as posted by [deleted] - Nothing has happened, Ebola went away and nothing dramatic that can even remotely be corroborated by this post has happened in the world.

this shit is getting ridiculous. Articles and how being written praising Andrew Wakefield? What a fucking crock. And to think that people are saying the courts have decided vaccines cause autism? What the hell? Courts don't know anything about science.

conspiracy = see the comments about the $12 BILION in cash shipped to Iraq and lost.

short-term-thinking = We never seem to learn that the devil we know is better than the one we don't. "This article has been updated to reflect recent Wikileaks revelations of US State Department leaks that show plans to destabilize Syria and overthrow the Syrian government as early as 2006.  The leaks reveal that these plans were given to the US directly from the Israeli government and would be formalized through instigating civil strife and sectarianism through partnership with nations like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar and even Egypt to break down the power structure in Syria to weaken Iran and Hezbolla."

"Is this the beginning of the end of Christianity? "Probably not," grants Atwill, "but what my work has done is give permission to many of those ready to leave the religion to make a clean break. We've got the evidence now to show exactly where the story of Jesus came from. Although Christianity can be a comfort to some, it can also be very damaging and repressive, an insidious form of mind control that has led to blind acceptance of serfdom, poverty, and war throughout history. To this day, especially in the United States, it is used to create support for war in the Middle East.""

conspiracy = This is not conspiracy related at all, but I know some people will look at this and think, "AHA! See? The reptile people run the world!"

Totally hilarious.

Edison & other cops conspiracy to intimidate New Brunswick officer who did the right thing. Disgusting.

"Adrian Schoolcraft (born 1976) is a former New York City Police Department (NYPD) officer who secretly recorded police conversations from 2008 to 2009. He brought these tapes to NYPD investigators in October 2009 as evidence of corruption and wrongdoing within the department. He used the tapes as evidence that arrest quotas were leading to police abuses such as wrongful arrests, while the emphasis of fighting crime sometimes resulted in underreporting of crimes to keep the numbers down."

"People give our government too much credit. They can't even get websites to work. Christie blocked traffic and the truth came right out."

Although it's evil, this is an interesting study of how the pharmaceutical industry has marketed its wares through content, information... studies, etc. .............. Also see "How a bone disease grew to fit the prescription" and "The selling of attention deficit disorder" (or just check corruption+medicine)

A bunch of links to rebuttals against anti-paleo stuff. ........... conspiracy = Get to the part about profits, the costs of raw grains vs finished product, etc. ........... "It’s clear that it’s far more profitable to sell us processed grain products than meat, eggs, and vegetables…which leaves a lot of money available to spend on persuading us to buy them. Are you starting to understand why grains are encased in colorful packaging, pushed on us as “heart-healthy” by the government, and advertised continually in all forms of media? "

See the link at the end to a NY Times article with further details.

Perfectly shows why a few companies can take down the globaly economy while avoiding (and actually discrediting) the conspiracy theory angle.

I already read "The Power of Habit" and "Imagine" is on my list... but the two that I bookmarked this for are "Private Empire" and "Why Nations Fail". I expect the latter to tie in closely with Jared Diamond's "Collapose: How Societies Choose To Fail Or Succeed"

Not really a conspiracy, but it talks about how the guy donating to Ron Paul is into conspiracies.
