Anyone who does not accept the official versions of events and incidents, is often labelled a 'conspiracy nut'. Unfortunately, the fact that state archives around the world are hiding crucial documents that would shed light on many so-called puzzling historical events, indicates there is some truth-content in many conspiracy theories.

Instead of claiming a matter or incident arose out of a conspiracy, it is better to state that wherever humans congregate, there is always some kind of 'hatching a plan' activity. In science, theorising (predicting) is considered to be the hallmark of good science. Good theorising/hypothesising is followed by good planning, which is then often turned into an action-plan.

When something happens, the physical, as well as the abstract facts are collected into an explanatory model. For example the 11 September 2001 tragedy was packaged in simple terms: terrorists who hate America planned and carried out the attacks.

That simple explanation is reminiscent of what students are fed in World War Two history lessons: Hitler hated the Jews, so he gassed them.

Such simplistic explanations of horrendous events does not take account of the complexity of human interaction, of human endeavours and dreams.

Recently the US war plans for conquering Iraq were made public, and some of the US politicians are angry over such a leak. Such whistle-blowing is to be congratulated because the reason for going to war with Iraq has nothing to do with Saddam Hussein's 'weapons of mass destruction', or his not adhering to UN resolutions. Israel has a long list of such violations, but nothing is said about that by the US president who seems bent on waging a war with Iraq. The reason for this war effort rests on two basic facts: oil resources and securing Israel's territorial survival

The 11 September tragedy has somewhat receded into the background, as has the hunt for the alleged mastermind, Usama bin Laden, but the attack on Iraq is imminent at the time of writing this: 23 September 2002.

It seems clear from the above that there is little, if any, coincidence in politics. Numerous plans are alive and competing for activation at any one time. It is all a matter of timing that determines whether something on the world stage is successfully pulled off. Playing it by ear may work in small personal matters, but it will not work on the world stage of politics. 

 When on 7 September 2001 the UN Durban Race conference ended in disaster for Israel, something had to be done to get Israel back into the 'good-camp'. It had justifiably been roundly condemned for being a Zionist-apartheid-racist state; a post-colonial European outpost in Semitic and Moslem Middle East.

Only three days later, on 11 September 2001, an incident occurred that brought outcast Israel back into the fold of 'good nations' fighting terrorists, much to the dismay of the Palestinians who are now experiencing their holocaust.

Thanks to the Internet, our weapon of mass instruction, individuals world-wide can now receive their information in un-mediated form — without anyone censoring their source of information. That is good because in this way individuals will gain mental maturity as they are forced to sift through an unlimited supply information  — using as a filter their moral and intellectual value system.

And the hope of all this acquisition of knowledge is the hope that the end product will ultimately be reflective self-knowledge so that we can find a home within our own mind. 

A conspiracy does not stand alone. It is followed by a clear pattern of elimination. A more detailed explanation as to how an elimination mechanism works is offered in the following item:
