	'Conspiracy Theories' and Clandestine Politics
		Although conspiracy theories have been widely accepted in the most disparate eras and parts of the world, and thus probably have a certain universality as explanatory models, at certain points in time they have taken on an added salience due to particular historical circumstances.
		Conspiracy theories are like black holes--they suck in everything that comes their way, regardless of content or origin...Everything you've ever known or experienced, no matter how 'meaningless', once it contacts the conspiratorial universe, is enveloped by and cloaked in sinister significance.
		For decades scholars interested in politics have directed their attention toward explicating and evaluating the merits of various political theories, or toward analyzing the more conventional, formal, and overt aspects of practical politics.

	Profile of a right-wing conspirator: The case of Theodore Olson
		Their goal is not simply to remove Clinton, but to impose a reactionary agenda which is opposed by the vast majority of the American people, an agenda which can only be advanced through anti-democratic methods: dirty tricks, political provocations, backroom legal and judicial maneuvers.
		The politically orchestrated nature of the Jones lawsuit was demonstrated, not only by the venue where it was launched--a political gathering of the ultra-right--but by its legal form.
		This case has been the occasion for a significant political alliance, bringing together the most pro-Zionist elements in the American political establishment with the Republican extreme right, where rabid anti-Semitism prevails.

	Debunking the Bilderberg Myth
		The extremists claim that Presidential candidates of both major U.S. political parties are controlled by the Bilderberg group; among those often mentioned in such conspiracy-oriented propaganda are David Rockefeller, the Clintons and Henry Kissinger.
		Other Bilderberg leaders are said to be members of the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations -- groups which themselves are often central players in far-right conspiracy theories of secret efforts at domination of the world's political and financial institutions and the press.
		Various far-right extremists and conspiracy theorists, however, charge that the group is a shadowy force seeking to control world events, exerting allegedly dominating powers of international influence to promote a "new world order" under their control.

	Conspiracy Theories excerpt
		Conspiracy theory arises when the political is interpreted within a specific, conspiratorial narrative frame by those for whom politics is inaccessible and its meaning is impenetrable or secret.
		Conspiracy theory pays back more in meaning than the theorist's original investment by recognizing, depleting, building, and destroying new signs in the perpetual motion of interpretation, producing a surplus of interpretation and affective dividends.16 It thus displaces the citizen's desire for political significance onto a signifying regime in which interpretation replaces political engagement.
		Conspiracy theory perceives the power of the ruling individual, group, or coalition to be thoroughly instrumental, controlling virtually all aspects of social life, politics, and economics.

	Washingtonpost.com Special Report: Clinton Accused
		The decision to transform Clinton's public defense into a rhetorical war with Starr and the political right wing was made at the White House in a series of meetings over the past four days, according to several administration sources.

		She said she was calm in the midst of the "firestorm" because she and her husband had become accustomed to spurious conspiracies concocted against them.

	Watergate after 30 years
		But the lesson of Watergate that needs to be remembered today--especially with Bush& gang on the rampage against our civil liberties--is the importance of the struggles of ordinary people that stopped the Vietnam War, forced concessions from Washington and revealed the corruption of the U.S. political system.
		THE WATERGATE scandal was the culmination of the worst political crisis for the U.S. ruling class since the 1930s.
		In the years following Watergate, Congress was forced to muzzle the FBI and the CIA, imposing restrictions on the almost limitless powers of the government’s security and law enforcement apparatus.

	The Conspiracy Thrillers of the 1970s: Paranoid Time - Article - Stylus Magazine
		The great contribution of the best conspiracy thrillers is to represent political reality psychologically, to tap into a cultural undercurrent of distrust with American institutions without presenting a strictly academic criticism of political life.
		If there is indeed to be a revival of the conspiracy thriller, it is undoubtedly the result of the growing feeling that the current imbroglio in Iraq is the result of official deception on the part of the Bush administration.
		Of course, this being a conspiracy thriller, he is allowed to win an unqualified victory at the end of the film.

	Al-Ahram Weekly Opinion Reflections:Conspiracy theory
		Rather than accuse the "Arab mind" (whatever that may be) of being enamoured with conspiracy theories, the pundits would be much better served by looking into the effects of authoritarianism, a debased and sensationalist media and the near total absence of political space on the political consciousness of the masses.
		Like most conspiracy theories there is a factual grain at the core of this one.
		While conspiracy theories of the sort above may be utter nonsense when judged on the facts, they are far more erudite if viewed as a reflection of the truth.

	Conspiracy Theory As Naive Deconstructive History
		This exemplifies how conspiracy theory arises: 1) significant political or economic events change power relationships in our society; 2) contradictions are noticed by ordinary citizens in the explanations of these events; 3) concern and curiosity are aroused; 4) further information is sought under the presumption that power is being abused and deception is being deployed.

		"Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy" is a phrase used by Hillary Clinton in 1998 during an interview on NBC's The Today Show to explain the perceived collaboration of her husband's political enemies.
		The First Lady's notion of a conspiracy was quickly denied by independent counsel Kenneth Starr, the target of much of Hillary Clinton's criticism.
		Clinton alleged that the scandals which had plagued her husband's presidency--specifically to the Monica Lewinsky scandal, which had just surfaced, but also the Travelgate and Whitewater scandals--had been exposed for political gain.

	NESARA-The "Real" NESARA
		Supporters of the altered version of the NESARA story believe that NESARA was enacted into law secretly during the Clinton administration, that there are “White Knights” working tirelessly behind the political scenes to inform the world of this secret legislation, and that the altered version of NESARA promises numerous debt forgiveness elements.
		Of course, the alternate NESARA story rests upon a conspiracy theory in that NESARA allegedly was passed secretly.
		After numerous personal attempts to introduce NESARA to Congress, including attempts to encourage presidential candidates to use NESARA as part of a political reform platform, Dr. Barnard decided that the best hope for meaningful reform was through a grass roots effort.

	Vol 8 # 3
		With Hillary Clinton's allegations of a "vast, right-wing conspiracy" directed against her husband, it's obvious that "conspiracy theories" aren't just for "kooks" anymore -- they are the fabric of our modern political system.
		For most of American history, one of the quickest ways to discredit an allegation critical of government was to label the allegation as a "conspiracy theory".
		As a result, the very structure of democracy tends to increase personal anxiety and fuel conspiracy theories.

		Without their largesse, the American Enterprise Institute might have remained a marginal inside-the-beltway chatter box, the Christian right would not be one of the nation’s premier political forces, the Heritage Foundation might never have existed, and creationism would not have morphed into the nuanced political campaign advocating “Intelligent Design.”

	Talk:Political views of Lyndon LaRouche - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The argument is that a key element of totalitarianism is the raising of a political (or other) struggle to a cosmological level so that it attains the form of a "poliical religion."
