Courtesy of BoingBoing here is a site that has a fascinating page of historical conspiracies that actually happened.  For those of you still wondering why Iran might hate our guts you can find a clue on this page.  But that's not the reason for reading it.  One of my favorites is about Scientology. It is a never ending source of amazement to me what depths people will go to in order to get whatever it is they want.

    I was actually blown away by the Prescott Bush, et. al. conspiracy.  Perhaps he didn't like that the government finally came down on him for doing business with the Nazis around WWII.  Truly disgusting.

    But those Scientologists are something else, no?  Maybe we should start calling them Scientologistas.

    Good post kelly, very interesting. Its only after many many years have passed that we find out if conspiracy theory was conspiracy fact. I have a feeling 9/11 will apear on a similar study is years to come.
