I'm certain that in times past there have been attempts to set up large-scale "conspiracies". Problem is, such conspiracies are doomed to failure every time because of human nature, stupidity and selfishness. Any human conspiracy you can think of will always break down for reasons such as:
- human error & miscommunication
- police infiltration
- inside informants
- internal power struggles
- corruption
- internal theft of funds
- petty jealousies including romantic ones
- conflicting goals & interests
The favourite topic among the lunatic-fringe is the so-called "Jewish Conspiracy". I'll just say this: ever notice that even Jews living in Israel constantly bicker among themselves and can't present a unified front on any issue? This is because they are human and so are prone to the same problems of disorganization as anyone. Jews don't all think and plan alike any more than anyone else does. So even if some of them *did* try to organize a "conspiracy" it would be sure to fall apart.
Trouble is, you can't change the minds of these True Believers in "global conspiracies". Like all Fundamentalists these folks are convinced that anybody who disagrees with them must automatically be "brainwashed" by the so-called conspirators! This is the mental equivalent of a dog chasing its tail and is impossible to debate.
