Corporations can and do shape entire national culture to serve their financial motives through huge social engineering projects. Take the example Noam provided of the petroleum industry buying up and destroying the existing electric mass transit system in the major US cities. What he did not mention, but was implied, was the subsequent marketing of personal transportation vehicles by General Motors in direct conspiracy with the petroleum industrys mass transit takeover. To this day the petroleum industry is manipulating popular opinion with its now dominant control of the mass media with all of its protean guises. Major governments cede to their power (money), and now tracts of land are being extirpated and processed into toxic sludge to be spattered across the globe. This is a conspiracy to maximize profit with no regard for societal costs. Chomsky aptly suggests that this conspiracy will likely lead to the demise of the species. While this should be the main conspiracy worth investigating, people are still concerned about the murder of a war criminal president 50 years ago or other similarly unproductive investigations. https://youtube/watch?v=BDkbaPedIz4
