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 different dictatorship.

The biggest conspiracy in the history of the world in my opinion was the founding of the Fed, and it's not even a secret. It's right out in the open, albeit enshrouded in obfuscation and apologetics. But basically everyone agrees that a small group of the richest men in the world, powerful bankers, got together and wrote the Federal Reserve Act, granting them a banking cartel that has shaped the course of world history ever since. Pretty interesting stuff.

Rothbard gave a great lecture on the founding of the Fed:

And that would disqualify it as a 'conspiracy'.

I would agree. As a prereq, conspiracies must be "secret." These guys didn't exactly cover up what they were doing. It's a case of a group of men taking advantage of the fallibility of the US Constitution for their own benefit. It's not that it was covered up, it's just that people were and still are woefully ignorant of the ramifications.

Doesn't pretty much every other country in the world have a central bank?

Does that mean that North American integration is not a conspiracy?

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?

To the extent that that goal, if there is indeed such a goal by some, is 'out in the open', then, yes, it is not a conspiracy.

They don't take people who would run around saying they were members.

ahhh, something that everybody agrees upon, is out inthe open, and ... yet is only found on mises??

could you possibly link to somewhere other than the biased website for this factual everybody knows it out inthe open theory?...

EDIT: ... and preferrably not internet/youtube documentaries. you were very quick to do this in the case of the monopoly discussion with respect to microsoft so if it is out there and as you claim, you should be able to do this without mises.

thanks,
