Reader comment on item: Did a Conspiracy Theory Just Collapse?
in response to reader comment: Another book?

The main difficulty with conspiracy theories is that the proof that might validate the actionability of such is as illusive as the original basis; and the subsequent contention that something not quite right has occured; and even to the later detriment of all concerned, truth becomes the hardest hit casualty.
While it may be theorized the world has been sucker punched with conspiracies (the Communist takeover of Russia, the Nationalist Socialist takoever of Germany in the more recent set of historical upsets), it may be argued that America, once the bastion of freedom centered in a society that many consider the greatest of modern history, has been the hotbed of conspiratorial aspirations of so many contravening ideologies (from the loyalists of the revolution, the separatists of the Civil War, the Marxists and Socialists ot the First and Second World Wars - see if one can discern who of these is at the root of America's battle for Constitutional solvency ); one cannot help but wonder if any of those are the ones actually floating the conspiracy theory to mask the true intention of subverting America while attempting globalistic desires of a unified one world dominance. As of this writing, those who support such ambitons are pouring uncounted millions (even billions) of underreported resources in accomplishing those stated claims - not just theory anymore.
After all, since those alleged voting aberations filmed at polling places and reported as innocent incidents were never adjudicated, they are merely theoretical and not conspiratorial, right?
No adjudication, no validation.
