To paraphrase Dickens "These are the best of times, the worst of times, the age of wisdom, the age of foolishness, the epoch of belief, the epoch of incredulity, the season of Light, the season of Darkness, the spring of hope, the winter of despair, we have everything before us, we have nothing before us". There is scarcely a day goes by when any rational American does not wonder why things are the way they are. Some whisper like the title of Gary Allen's book "None dare call it a Conspiracy"; and since the mainstream propaganda outlets always ridicule "Conspiracy 'Theories'" ad infinitum, that a better word should be chosen. Conspiracy comes from the Latin root 'conspirare' meaning to breathe together. It is not hard to find groups of individuals who breathe together in secret, like the Bilderbergers, Trilateral Commission, and Council on Foreign Relations et al.
