The conspiracy at the top to control the whole planet, usually by corporations, has always existed.
I heard a black woman on the radio declare that AIDS, back in the 80s, was a deliberate act of genocide against black people. So of course that meant is was made in a lab and deliberately released. It seemed to affect gay men and heroin addicts most, not black people as a group, maybe that was unintended.
911 truthers could have come from the left, because the attempts at more restrictions on liberty in the name of preventing terrorism was the reason Cheney and Bush made the conspiracy. It is now almost quaint to think how we feared Bush was trying to become a dictator.
