What say you?
Rothbard made the point that a suspicion of conspiracy was warranted. The powers that be are uncomfortable whenever personal benefit is recognized.
Not only are you right, but this post is basically Rothbard's argument!
Take away the Dungeons and Dragons nonsense, along with the secret puppet masters controlling the world, and you have legitimate, true conspiracies taking place. If it makes people feel better, they can call it corruption. But to believe politicians and bureaucrats are pure and unable of evil is to ignore everything we know about mankind! Or to believe powerful a man like Rockefeller is a pure, benevolent soul ... is ludicrous!
Well presented!
The population has been programmed to believe that conspiracies can't even exist now. Conspiracies are now synonymous with being a 'whacko' and 'weirdo'. And no one wants to be called that.
Thanks for this post.
