Anonymous Coward User ID: 46232642 United Kingdom 03/01/2015 11:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If you look up the actual word conspiracy, you will find that your thread makes no sense. If people didn't conspire, then people are trees. Hell even apes conspire. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 67283173 You know what conspiracies I'm referring to, quit being a schmuck. I'm in sympathy and open to your hypothesis. But I do think we have to tighten up on what we mean re 'conspiracy'. In a long career spanning the commercial, media, academic and gov worlds my experience in all was that there was hardly a day went by when people weren't trying to cover something up. The Beeb and gov were worst. Academia came out best. Gov coverups had the worst/greatest impact. But just about all of the covering up was passive: people trying to bumble along and cover their asses often stupidly after daft mistakes or incompetence or accidents. Mostly, it seemed to me, people were just people-pleasing, trying to curry favour with bosses or funders. People around often know at the time that there's something fishy going on. But it has to be said, people (even world leaders) are simply not bright enough to do all the things we imagine they do. Genuine conspiracy is active: a deliberate gathering of people to plan and carry out covert, dishonest, criminal acts, usually for the direct benefit of the conspirators and this perceived interests. When the conspirators get their plans to work they have mostly devastating effects.these people know that they are doing wrong before they start, yet still go ahead clearly decided on unlawful/unethical/unprofessional activities. They rarely get caught and brought before a court. I am certain that there are many of these genuine conspiracies. We recognise them after the fact and, in anger at being so badly duped, mistakenly attribute their profound heinousness to 'magical' evil, overwhelming powers. |

User ID: 68391064 United States 03/02/2015 12:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | fro example... Goldman Sachs Group Inc. executives sparred with lawmakers over accusations that its aluminum business improperly influenced prices and that the firm’s traders had unfair access to market-moving data. Under fire at a hearing today on whether Wall Street’s ownership of commodities spurs conflicts, Goldman Sachs’s Jacques Gabillon disputed senators’ charges that long wait times for aluminum stockpiles had a direct effect on what companies and consumers pay for the metal. Only a handful of Goldman Sachs employees get information on the aluminum unit and reports are limited to financial performance, he said. “When everything is said and done, you can say there is no correlation” between wait times and price, said Gabillon, head of the New York-based bank’s global commodities principal investments group. His statements were met with skepticism from a Senate panel that released a 400-page report yesterday alleging that commodities businesses give banks undue influence over markets, spur trading advantages and could endanger the financial system through an industrial catastrophe.

They would never lobby money for their interests? Never mind having money as free speech and companies/corporations deemed as people. I see what you sayin OP. But having a corrupt organization creatin our money is a conspiracy. Most all conspiracies fall under how and why/what money was spent on. It's not all in our minds. Not everything is a conspiracy for sure. But to say no conspiracy exists is delusional. The truth can't be told, it has to be realized. Awoken $lave |

If you look at it, a "conspiracy" such as world depopulation makes perfect sense albeit inhumane. Some of the theories discussed here work out better on paper than trying to implement on the masses. Perhaps the only way to bring about globalization and depopulation is the culling of a massive world war. TPTB better start it soon before we have the Greek riots to the hundredth power in the west. |

But as for globalization, fuck that. I can't even think of a nation or country I'd want to be "globalized" with in any way. But everything else...I'd be as happy as can be.
