[Kartographer]

Do I believe in ‘James Bond’ type cadres? No

Do I believe that the are groups of people working secretly in support of some agenda that will ‘shackle’ our freedoms and liberties? Yes

And some of the worst aren't even doing it in secret!

I also believe that there are conspiracies. In fact, there is a crime called "conspiracy" (and Webster Hubbell was convicted of it back during the Clinton administration).

I don't believe that conspiracies always run flawlessly or achieve the results desired by the conspirators, but I certainly believe they exist.

To not believe in conspiracy is to not believe in the Mafia, for example. I believe in the Mafia.

Honest people don't believe in conspiracy because it's not part of their makeup.
