Classic Parenti from 1993. He shows that "conspiracies" are both real and common--one tool among many that elites use to advance their class interests.
This week he discusses more proven conspiracies. They include the business elite's reversal of US progress towards social democracy (from the 1970s). The State Department's covert scuttling of a peace treaty in Nicaragua (1980s). And the almost-unknown assassination of President Zachary Taylor (1850).
