[quote=CONCHO]As with the present, I don’t see conspiracy, I just see idiocy and greed.
If more than one person is involved, if the parties plan and agree to a course of action, it is a conspiracy. Look up the word. con for together/with, spire, from respire, “to breathe.” It basically means, “to breath the same air.”
The US media has very effectively conditioned the public to laugh at or dismiss anything that the word “conspiracy” is attached to. If conspiracies don’t exist, then neither does the mafia, the drug cartels, etc…[/quote]
Taking that broad of a definition of the term is just plain dumb. By that definition, my loan officer and I are “conspiring” to sell houses. Connotation matters as much as denotation.
Seriously, I have yet to see an explanation of a the a Fed that denotes or suggests an extralegal or criminal conspiracy (which is what Griffin was connoting).
