What is the biggest exposed conspiracy?

[adaher]

What’s interesting about most true conspiracies is that they aren’t known by most of the public before being revealed.

Chances are, if a conspiracy is widely known, it’s probably a false conspiracy.

What gets me about most conspiracy theorists is their utter failure to be imaginative. The real conspiracies are usually things we wouldn’t have thought of, not obvious stuff like UFOs and second assassins.

8. Aliens have landed on earth, and there is a conspiracy to conceal that fact

This seems unlikely. Not only would it have required “the cooperation of the soviets at the height of the cold war” it would require the cooperation of, um… aliens. Why would they do that?

I still say that the Dreyfus Affair is, so far, the best example, in that it:

(a) was clearly a conspiracy rather than merely a military secret;

(b) the conspiracy was actually carried out;

(c) It was successful for a time;

(d) It was eventually uncovered; and

(e) it was “big” in that the political consequences were huge.

So, they were. But trivial compared to the political consequences of the exposure of the international Jewish conspiracy.

What?
