These where really big conspiracies during President Bush’s term, the leftists swore up and down he would cancel the election, become a dictator, and lock them up. They have resurfaced with some Presidential directives authorizing military bases to be used for housing individuals in a ‘national emergency’..
They are a continual archetype of the controllers versus the controlled in literary mythology. There is always the plot of complete removal of freedoms in masse. Unfortunately, history has given us two examples under the National Socialists in Germany and the Gulags in Soviet Russia.
I find it ironic all these theories that sounded outgageous when Bush was in office are actually coming true under Obama. But if we were to say the same thing, we sound kooky, but it’s a fact. A not reported by MSM fact, but fact nonetheless.
I remember laughing at the lefties and all those Bush conspiracies.
I don’t believe there was so much dangerous legislation and governmental action during his term though.
The conspiracy theorists could be right this time.
I suppose you can say there have only been 2 if only read the 20th century.
Before, there was Xerxes, Saul, Herod, and Julius Caesar.
For that matter, how about Castro in Cuba, Ortega in Nicaragua, Mugabe in Rhodesia, Khomeini in Iran... probably a few I missed.
...and Chavez now.
