<A conspiracy can be a plan but a plan can't be a conspiracy. The word conspiracy has been misused too much lately. Our species does plan.> That is getting at the nuance i am trying to define. As indeed it is the nature of the human to plan, to scheme, to conspire; but it isn't some deep secret coherent secret society. I am after conspiracy being used in the sense of this thread, which has about every conspiracy theory known to man.

And again, it is indeed human nature to conspire, to plan strategems, but this is a flux, natural , in pockets of time, not some steady river flow of time, embedded secretly in history They are not secret cult societies paasing on from generation to generation, century to century.
Hard fact, the mason was started by masons, fellows that build with stone, carvers of stone, what have you, and they thought how cool , what could be more mason oriented than The Temple of Solomon, so a group of fellows start there goofy little clubby, and guys come an they have a good old time, and they throw in a secret handshake like all fraternities and street gangs or whatever over time.
As masons, they, of course, happen to be artisans, they design artfully, and have at there disposal loads of archetypal iconic symbols, and so , by chance, one of the key designers of the U.S. Dollar was a Mason, and they love pyramids and "the all seeing eye" and that's all part of the common to all reservoir of , as i said before, archetypal iconic symbols. The U.S. Dollar was just a desire to make something fascinating for art's sake, and as a Mason was on the job, he went into the reservior of his traditional symbols. And i have to say he did a hell of job, as it got every person that is prone to playing beatles music backwards to find secret messages, to go bigtime on that Dollar Bill:) Let's take that peace and demoracy group fouded by Eleanor Roosevelt and Wendall Wilkie; it was founded in total innocence, in about 1944---or just before Wilkie died of a sudden heart-attack in his 50s. So now it mutated into a dastardly front for the neo-cons to infiltrate and undermine, in the now utterly hollow and exploited word democracy. That this happened wasn't a deep conspiracy, it was just the inheriting of this organization by the lasted dominant power group seeking what it desires through the convenience of having a pre-established organization in place, for them to utilize for this particular groups enterprises. Max What in our history is one of the ugliest examples of using the word "conspiracy" for EVIL purposes? I offer , the McCarthyism was as trrerrible example of what can happen when people start believing in a vast coherent conspiracy lurking everywhere--those commies are so clever, that local librarian, i think she is one of them!!!! We want conspiracy in your sense of the world, simply to plan, to have a strategy, would be Karl Roves move to set up a network ofright so right conservative groups on college campuses. But it was not a conspiracy as the word has become to be abused, it was out there, anyone paying attention could see what was transpiring; it was a tactic, and unfortunately, an extremly effective tactic.
