Description
Conspiracy theories are thought to come exclusively from the wilder shores of political observation. By definition, however, a conspiracy occurs each time a group of influential people agree a course of action in private and by extra-democratic means. From new information on the usual suspects, like the Bildeburg Group; to covert intelligence involvement with Britain's Wilson government, royal family and in the Profumo affair; to Reagan's secret post-Cold-War agenda and a mooted plot within the US administration to supersede George W. Bush, "Conspiracy" is a frightening account of modern conspiracy theories, with guidance as to the credibility of each.
