I wrote the following piece as a counter-argument to
some right-winger who insisted that 9-11 (in spite of
the blatant and obvious evidence) wasn’t a government
conspiracy because conspiracies simply don’t exist. As
such, I’m trying to put together a list of all of the
well-known and largely acknowledged conspiracies.
Also, if you know of any good quotes from the ruling
elite that indicate their knowledge and acceptance of
conspiracy that, too, would be quite helpful.
And don’t forget to keep a copy of these conspiracies
for the next time you run into some
O’Reilly/Hannity/Limbaugh clone that embraces whatever
authority figures tell them without engaging in any
critical thinking on their own.
————————–
Firstly, conspiracy is a realty not a theory. Our
nation’s history is packed so full of conspiracies
that it is utterly ridiculous to pretend that they
don’t exist. In fact, many people go to prison
every year convicted of conspiracy (most of them
Republicans). The Bush cabal hardly goes a week
without being involved in some type of conspiracy. The
U.S. Attorney’s purge immediately comes to mind but
the entire push for war against Iran is a conspiracy.
Iran possessing nuclear weapons is hardly the real
issue. Obviously, Iran couldn’t use a nuclear weapon
without ensuring their own destruction
by a much superior, rogue nuclear force — the U.S.
The issue regarding Iran is one of imperialist
domination. The U.S. has targeted much of the Middle
East for its own imperialist interests.
Were Iran to develop nuclear weapons it would ensure
that Iran would not be subject to that imperialist
domination.
Other recent conspiracies of note include the Enron
conspiracy and the Jack Abramoff scandal. Both of
which involved members of the Bush cabal. Among the
most well-known recent conspiracies are the
2000 election, 9-11 (9-11 is a conspiracy even if the
government’s account is taken at face value — which,
of course, it shouldn’t be), Iraq has weapons of mass
destruction, the 2004 election, Iran contra, CIA
introducing crack cocaine into the impoverished Black
neighborhoods of Los Angeles, Watergate, the Watergate
cover-up, the Savings and Loan scandal, Gulf of Tonkin
(never happened), the JFK assassination, the JFK
assassination cover-up Cointelpro, MKULTRA, Roosevelt
encouraged the attack on Pearl Harbor and knew the
Japanese were coming, Nixon/Kissinger involvement in
the overthrow of Salvadore Allende and installation of
Pinochet, Kermit Roosevelt and the overthrow of Iran’s
democratically elected leader Mohammed Mossadeq, the
creation of the Federal Reserve(a private entity
created and organized under tremendous secrecy
designed to enrich a handful of bankers), the Robber
Baron’s and their accumulation of great wealth by
conspiring with politicians to loot the treasury
during the building of the railroad. Other, long
forgotten conspiracies include the Credit Mobilier
Scandal and the Teapot Dome scandal. And I’m sure
there are many, many more.
Additionally, a 9-11 type of false-flag terrorism
event was previously planned in the the U.S. Operation
Northwoods, or Northwoods, was a 1962 plan by the US
Department of Defense to cause acts of simulated or
real terrorism and violence on US soil or against US
interests, blamed on Cuba, in order to generate U.S.
public support for military action against the Cuban
government of Fidel Castro. As part of the U.S.
government’s Operation Mongoose anti-Castro
initiative, the plan, which was not implemented,
called for various false flag actions, including
simulated or real state-sponsored acts of terrorism
(such as hijacked planes) on U.S. and Cuban soil. The
plan was proposed by senior U.S. Department of Defense
leaders, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff Lyman Louis Lemnitzer.
These quotes by people in positions to know are quite
revealing of the fact that we live in a world
dominated by conspiracies among the well-connected and
powerful wealthy elite.

"In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it
happens, you can bet it was planned that way." -
Franklin D. Roosevelt
“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s
views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest
men in the United States —in the fields of commerce
and manufacturing—are afraid of somebody. They know
that there is a power somewhere so organized, so
subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so
pervasive, that they had better not speak above their
breath when they speak in condemnation of it.” -
Woodrow Wilson
“A financial element in the large centers has owned
the government since the days of Andrew Jackson.” -
Franklin Roosevelt
“We are on the verge of a global transformation. All
we need is the right major crisis and the nations will
accept the New World Order.” – David Rockefeller
“Today, America would be outraged if UN troops entered
Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be
grateful! This is especially true if they were told
that there was an outside threat from beyond, whether
real or promulgated, that threatened our very
existence. It is then that all people of the world
will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one
thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented
with this scenario, individual rights will be
willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their
well-being granted to them by the world government.” -
Henry Kissinger (Bilderburg Conference 1991 Evians,
France)
“Naturally the common people don’t want war…but after
all, it is the leaders of the country who determine
policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the
people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist
dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist
dictatorship…all you have to do is to tell them they
are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for
lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.
It works the same way in any country.” Herman Goering
( One of Hitler’s top men, during the Nuremberg
Trials)
The individual is handicapped by coming face to face
with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it
exists. – Edgar J Hoover
In 1913, Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve
Act. A few years later he wrote: "I am a most unhappy
man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great
industrial nation is controlled by its system of
credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The
growth of the nation, therefore, and all our
activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come
to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most
completely controlled and dominated Governments in the
civilized world no longer a Government by free
opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the
vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion
and duress of a small group of dominant men."
The easiest way to gain control of the population is
to carry out acts of terror. The public will clamor
for such laws if the personal security is threatened.
- Joseph Stalin
The real rulers of Washington are Invisible and
exercise power from behind the scenes. – Justice Felix
Frankfurter – US Supreme Court Justice
The real menace of our Republic is the invisible
Government which like a giant Octopus, sprawls its
slimy legs over our cities, states, and nation. – John
F. Hylan – Mayor NYC 1918-1925
"Give me control of a Nation’s money and I care not
who makes the laws." – Mayer Amschel Bauer
(Rothschild)
"We shall have World Government. Whether or not we
like it. The only Question is whether World Government
will be achieved by conquest or consent." – James Paul
Warburg , Foreign agent for the Rothschild dynasty -
Major Player in the Federal Reserve act scam / Feb.
17, 1950 speaking before the U.S. Senate.
"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the NY Times,
Time Magazine, and other great publications whose
directors have attended our meetings, and respected
their promises of discretion for almost 40 years. It
would have been impossible for us to develop OUR PLAN
for the world if we had been subjected to the lights
of publicity during those years. But, the world is now
more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a
World Government. The supranational sovereignty of an
intellectual ELITE and World Bankers is surely
preferable to the national auto – determination
practiced in past centuries." – David Rockefeller CFR
Kingpin, Founder of the Trilateral Commission, NOW
Godfather / June 1991
"It is well enough that people of the nation do not
understand our Banking and Monetary system, for if
they did, I believe there would be a Revolution before
tomorrow morning." – Henry Ford
"For more than a century, ideological extremists at
either end of the political spectrum have seized upon
well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller
family for the inordinate influence they claim we
wield over American political and economic
institutions. Some even believe we are part of a
secret cabal working against the best interests of the
United States, characterizing my family and me as
‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others
around the world to build a more integrated global
political and economic structure – one world, if you
will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am
proud of it." – David Rockefeller, Memoirs , 2002
“Every time we do something, you tell me America will
do this and will do that . . . I want to tell you
something very clear: Don’t worry about American
pressure on Israel . We, the Jewish people, control
America , and the Americans know it.” – Ariel Sharon ,

"I came to America because of the great, great freedom
which I heard existed in this country. I made a
mistake in selecting America as a land of freedom, a
mistake I cannot repair in the balance of my
lifetime." – Albert Einstein, 1947
"I believe that banking institutions are more
dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If
the American people ever allow private banks to
control the issue of their currency, first by
inflation, then by deflation, the banks and
corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will
deprive the people of all property until their
children wake-up homeless on the continent their
fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken
from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it
properly belongs." — Thomas Jefferson
1941: On November 25, 1941, two weeks before the
Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Secretary of War
Henry Stimson (S&B, CFR) wrote about his meeting with
President Roosevelt that day. He stated that the
Roosevelt Administration was trying to see how they
could maneuver the Japanese into firing the first shot
in order to bring the United States into the war. He
wrote: "There the President . . . brought up entirely
the relations with the Japanese. He brought up the
event that we were likely to be attacked perhaps next
Monday, for the Japanese are notorious for making an
attack without warning, and the question was what we
should do. The question was how we should maneuver
them into the position of firing the first shot
without allowing too much danger to ourselves."
