I think denying that there are people behind the scenes pulling major strings on world events is naive.

I don't even know what that means sorry.

Are you saying that sometimes some people in power discuss things informally and say stuff like 'oh boy, it would be swell if iran didn't have nukes'?

Or are you suggesting there exists organized secret orders whose purpose it is to control large events in the the world?

The best conspiracy theory is the Eisenhower was a commie one.

A group of wealthy fascists, which included GWB's grandpa (who also financed Hitler), hired general Smedley Butler to lead an army to overthrow FDR and install a dictatorship. Fortunately Butler blew the whistle on them.

I know that Prescott Bush worked for an investement bank, and that one of their clients were a German millionaire that up until 1938 was one of Hitlers greatest financial backers. But I had no idea that Bush financed Hitler. Please explain to me how that was done?

Anyone mentioned the one about Shakespeare not being written by Shakespeare?

Then there was Jeanne Kirkpatrick and the Reagan administration, claiming the USSR was behind all guerrilla groups, including the IRA.

Everything McCarthy said.

Thanks for giving me a link to the information I already said I was aware of?? If you work for in a bank, investing money for person A, and he uses the profit you ensure him to back person B, are you then the one backing person B? If so, I think its morally very challenging to be an investment banker as you are responsible for whatever wrongdoing your clients do with the money they make from the investments.

The evidence has also prompted one former US Nazi war crimes prosecutor to argue that the late senator's action should have been grounds for prosecution for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
