The content matter of conspiracy theory de jour is not the issue and entirely irrelevant. These theories are proposed in response to the obvious and glaring wtf-ness of the official stories pushed by establishment organs. The degree of information gap is directly correlated to the far-out-ness of the proposed theories. What you need to note is this: The Guardian is pushing the establishment line that "secret plots" do not, in any shape or form, inform the unfolding of 'history'. It is a "crazy" notion, but you have been informed of the 'red line' of polite conversation.
