A Short History of Conspiracy Theory

You could argue that this is the net effect of the behavior of the government and their pay masters.
Then you don't need an active conspiracy theory before the fact.

This is how some discrimination cases are handled. The law allows charges of discrimination of many
types based on the effect of the acts by the entity charged with discrimination. It doesn't matter
if they have a plot in mind. It's the behavior.

The effect of the corporate media's relentless parade of grotesque side show news while ignoring
major issues and events is certainly "more stinky muck." The constant hesitancy of the government
to address concerns in a decisive way is another case for the "effects doctrine." They may not have
the intent and the plans to make us think it's all "more stinky muck" but their inaction over time
discourages people.

Besides, the conspiracy is hidden in plain sight, ergo nothing nefarious. The censorship of the
news is just appalling and it continues unabated. No Illuminati needed, just corporate greed.
