The Greatest Conspiracy

As an Introduction, to this segment, the paper titled "The Greatest Conspiracy" was written many years ago in 1974, when I first went to the University. Upon re-reading it, I realized that some of the statements are true and some are not. But these are things that a Historian might think about."

Introduction to General Thinking:

Why bother with an introduction of any kind? Why would anyone be interested in the "Great Conspiracy of History"? In fact who, but a select few, had ever heard of this so-called "consiracy of history."

I, myself, have been in History classes and Civilization classes where after I had written a paper or two, I was accused of searching out this conspiracy. It made NO sense to me whatsoever, since whatever I had written was neither very historical nor very philosophical nor even sociological in context.

I felt all the philosophy and sociology and the multitude of terms were nothing more than a pompous bunch of bull thrown in to make thinking more difficult than was necessary. (My Note: I was an older student of 40 years.) For that matter, just how does one run down a "conspiracy" that has no written records that verify such an event?

Not one of the history or "civilization" courses even said there was any evidence of such an event. It was only because a professor or two, making an odd statement that did not relate to his course that I even heard about it.

It was perfectly obvious that I could not depend on the written records but it was just as obvious that a written record existed somewhere. There was no way, I thought, to pinpoint any information nor to discover where it was hidden.

It was during my brush with Tomas More, the author of Utopia that I found my first key to opening up the new view of history. It was nevertheless a long time before I understood what I had uncovered as a clue.

(Today, I cannot even remember the clue that I had found at that time. However, it seems that it was a very simple deduction: Thomas More, author of the book called Utopia, supposedly created out of his imagination.

Thomas More lived and worked in an era (1505-1532) when Christopher Columbus had just discovered the Americas in 1492. The whole world was agog. Everyone wanted a piece of the action. History books tell us nothing except that there were inflationary prices on the Continent, "due to the hysteria of women."

Many men died, but not because of the Conquest. And true, many wives became hysterical when their husbands and children were killed or tortured. After thirty years of research, plus or minus, I now have a much better understanding of that "Conspiracy of History" and why it became a necessity.)
