i used to think that right wing nutjobs had the best conspiracy theories but over the past couple of year the left wing nutjobs have caught up.
most right wing conspiracy theories center around some combination of the federal reserve, the united nations, the rockefeller family, the council on foreign relations, skull & bones @ yale, various other international organizations (masons, bilderbergers), the "new world order" and "international bankers" (usually a code word for jews). recently, as social conservatives have become more prominent in the republican party, the theories have been connected to certain issues (abortion, gay marriage, etc..) instead of the more traditional new world order stuff with a small elite bent on controlling the world.
left wing conspiracy theories usually include the cia, major corporations ('big oil' as of late), major media outlets, the "military-industrial complex". the terrorist attacks on 9-11 and subsequent military action by the united states have provided left wing nutjobs with the opportunity to strut their stuff and show the right wing nutjobs what they're made of.
oddly enough, some of the left and right wing conspiracy theories are starting to overlap. then again, maybe the crazies are correct and everyone else is wrong.
so what conspiracy theories do you subscribe to? what are your favorite ones (regardless if you believe them or not)?
