New studies: ‘Conspiracy theorists’ sane; government dupes crazy, hostile

[Manifestor_of_Light]

1. I have a problem with the definition of a conspiracy.

At what point is it a group of filthy rich people controlling the politicians, controlling the media, controlling thousands of peoples' lives, and making lots of money, all of them having the same common goal, and when is it a conspiracy?

I think it's the common goal of the rich controlling everything they can in society whether or not it is called a conspiracy. As in "government dupes (mouthpieces) hostile".

I don't know if the Masonic symbolism/Illuminati stuff is just extra stuff that is added to writings about the rich and powerful to make people more afraid of them. It just adds a layer of paranoia and weirdness to what they are actually doing.

I think people have to investigate facts and come up with scientific theories and then conclusions.
