Real conspiracies -- in contrast to mere conspiracy theories -- have spawned fear, murder, lies, and revolution throughout history. Driven by greed, envy, or utopian visions, they reflected the darkness of human nature. No nation or empire has been immune to such intrigue. Betrayal, murder, and convenient wars stain the records of ancient Israel and Judah as well as the history of mighty empires like Assyria, Babylon, Persia, China, Greece, and Rome. The nations of Renaissance Europe -- always competing for dominion and commercial markets -- were torn by the same human impulses. More recent conspirators such as Lenin, Stalin, and Mao bound their masses to inflexible Communist standards that banned the Bible, condemned resisters, and rewarded public torture and murder. Such cruelty would intimidate the masses into compliance. Hidden behind their atrocities were Western supporters -- including the financial establishments of J. P. Morgan, Carnegie and the Rockefellers -- which funded revolutionaries and fueled the global vision of totalitarian control.
