  François-Noël Babeuf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Babeuf's song Mourant de faim, mourant de froid ("Dying of Hunger, Dying of Cold"), set to a popular tune, began to be sung in the cafés, with immense applause; and reports circulated that the disaffected troops of the French Revolutionary Army in the camp of Crenelle were ready to join an insurrection against the government.
The government for reasons of their own depicted the socialist Babeuf as the leader of the conspiracy, though more important people than he were implicated; and his own vanity played admirably into their hands.

 French Revolution: Search
One such radical, who took the name Gracchus Babeuf, supposedly organized the "Conspiracy of Equals," a secret group that he hoped to lead in a surprise insurrection to take power and use it to distribute land equally among all citizens.
To his contemporary critics, who were influenced in part by the Directory’s successful propaganda, Babeuf’s conspiracy demonstrated the instability of the Republic and the need for forceful government repression of popular political activity.
Peasants continued to believe they were not getting all that was due them from urban merchants who bought their grain, while city dwellers continued to attribute the high cost of bread to large landowners hoarding grain in the countryside.

 GRACCHUS BABEUF
This "conspiracy of the equals," as it came to he called, was at first regarded as one of many plots uncovered during the period of the Directorate, and the government even treated it as a royalist conspiracy.
The future conspirator for equality seemed to have no greater prospects than his father for any other life than that of a provincial functionary; after marriage to a servant girl at the age of twenty-two, he settled down as a struggling family man and clerk.
The purpose of society is to defend this equality, which is often attacked in the state of nature by the wicked and the strong, and to increase, through universal cooperation, the common enjoyment of the goods of nature.

Disraeli is typical of his contemporaries when he expresses the widely held mythology of conspiracies in his novels, specifically Lothair, exploiting the mid-century excitement over an apparent Roman Catholic resurgance in England, the closing days of the Italian Risorgimento, and the overthrow of Rome’s temporal power.
This mixture of ritual and conspiracy was familiar to a public prepared by Barruel and Lombard to accept the possibility of an illuminati threat.

The conspiracy of equality organised by Babeuf and his followers aimed at provoking an armed uprising of the plebeian masses against the bourgeois regime of the Directory and establishing a revolutionary dictatorship as a transitional stage to “pure democracy” and “egalitarian communism.” The conspiracy was disclosed in May 1796.
At the end of May 1797 its leaders were executed.

Gracchus Babeuf's French Revolutionary "conspiracy of the equals", and its vision of a democratic society in which political decisions are made without one group coercing any other.
But it comes to stand, in Dunn's mind, for an alternative vision of a more just, more equal, more participatory democracy in which the people do not delegate sovereignty to any sub-group, whether it be the rich, the wise, or simply those who stand for elected office.
Seen from the perspective of the violence, tyranny and impoverishing brutality into which government over the past 100 years has so frequently sunk, and is still only too liable to sink in much of the world, maintaining what we have is the biggest political challenge we face.

 Why the media's conspiracy theory is better than yours
While they are tons of conspiracy theories lurking around in our datasphere, there is only one such theory commonly agreed upon in the mass media.
Every aspect of this particular conspiracy theory is considered fact and is reconditioned daily into the minds of millions.
There's obviously a need for a conspiracy theory here, as the attacks were by definition a conspiracy, but the question is; why this one, how was it hashed together so quickly and will it ever be ammended?

The greatest, most evil and insidious conspiracy of all time might be the distraction of the human mind from the weightier matters of life.
I tend to agree with Notus in his assertion that while some conspiracies do exist, they seldom get very near to the accomplishment of their goal before coming to an end by one means or another.
Conspiracy in this case was simply a group of people (whether they are individuals who exercise control over media people or powerful media people themselves) desiring to control the outcome of this election, and then the consequent necessary planning in order to make their desired outcome a reality.

In 1828, Filippo Michele Buonarroti (1761-1837), was descendant of a brother of Michelangelo, ex-Jacobin bureaucrat, one of three major figures in the 1796 "Conspiracy of Equals" led by François-Noel ("Gracchus") Babeuf, and subsequently described as "the greatest conspirator of the [nineteenth] century" by no less an authority than Mikhail Bakunin in
Buonarroti's account of what he saw as the destruction by the "criminals of Thermidor" of Robespierre's "republic of virtue" and of its logical extension in the "conspiracy of equals," proved to be one of the most influential books of the nineteenth century.
It was the opening shot in what was to become a formidable campaign by French histor ians and political writers on the eve of the revolution of 1848 to rehabilitate Robespierre, the Jacobins, and the Republic of '93.

The Masonic conspiracy modeled America's political forms on Rome's because they were forms known to be compatible with the future World Imperial role they sought for America (Novus Ordo Seclorum--New Order of the Ages).
