I have never believed in conspiracies -- at least, not in the vast kind that Hillary felt the right wing deployed against her philandering husband. More often, it seems the cover-up of truth, not the circulation of manufactured untruths, lies at the root of such conspiratorial ideas.
..But I do believe in the remarkable potential of a seemingly unguided force, either good or evil, consisting of great numbers of individuals doing what alone may appear insignificant -- yet, when combined with the work of others moving in the same direction, all this work put together has the potential to become something very powerful. The history of our great nation is a testament to the notion of the formidable forces of good.
We learned of a force of evil, the Communist spy apparatus of the mid-twentieth century, in Whittaker Chambers' timeless masterpiece, Witness. The global Communist conspiracy that Chambers described consisted of thousands of faithful worker bees, busily occupied with their own small tasks, often without specific guidance or awareness of what their fellow agents were doing or who those comrades were.
When the House Committee on Un-American Activities attempted to root out the Communist movement, allegations against a suspect, examined singly, often appeared trivial and irrational -- indeed, cause for alarm -- unless the accused occupied the upper tiers of our government, as was the case with Chambers' friend, Alger Hiss, who worked in the State Department. But taken together, all of the Communists comprised a powerful force to be reckoned with, a task made more difficult in a nation dedicated to the notions of personal liberty and freedom of speech.

First, the Left is a crime syndicate whose goal is global tyranny. It will use many useful idiots and thousands of criminal front groups to accomplish that goal. Two, the Left will ridicule, sue, and attack anyone who publicly states the facts outlined in Number One, above. Three, the Left ridicules all mention of its own relentless, continuous and ongoing conspiracies and shifts public attention and blame to ‘Right Wing Conspiracies in order to conceal itself. Four, as Catherine Austin Fitts, who well knows those at the upper reaches, has said, ‘what many people call conspiracies are simply individuals working together to preserve and acquire more power, money, and control’, words to that effect.
If one refuses to see conspiracies, they should at least look for patterns, and then they’ll surely see them. Lenin advocated ‘open conspiracy’ as do the Elites, who love to pull their gags right in front of the citizens they detest, in effort to mock and provoke them.
The most intriguing allegation about Barack Obama’s purported real birth certificate (the one demanded by Donald Trump) is that sometimes it looks like more than one typewriter was used to type the same word. You could explain away “digital layering” but not that, which there would be no reason to do circa Barack’s birth.
Indeed, “conspiracy” as applied to the masses involved may be a misnomer, a straw man, these masses having little or no idea what end their work is tending towards, and the only actual plotting carried out by a very few highly placed persons.
Where there is smoke there is fire.
Exactly. There are many philosophically/educationally challenged "usefuls" conned into socialist collectives that have nefarious agendas.

Beck has been covering the progressive machine. They are very well organized and funded. His take on it is, this is not just US but global. Capitalism and western way of life are the targets
One need look no further than Ezra Klein’s Journolist cabal to see how liberals engage in conspiratorial behavior to influence public perception.
Boy has he EVER! He is NOT AFRAID to name them. I and many members of my family were at 9/12 and 8/28. My wife is a gbtv subscriber.
HOORAY Glenn Beck! Glenn Beck is OUTSTANDING!
GRRRRREAT example! Thanks. Rush and Laura Ingraham do a FANTASTIC job of pointing that out whenever they compile the soundbits of these propagandists.
MSNBC and Washington Post both consider his opinion important.
