33 Conspiracy Theories

Most people can’t resist getting the details on the latest conspiracy theories, no matter how far-fetched they may seem. At the same time, many people quickly denounce any conspiracy theory as untrue … and sometimes as unpatriotic or just plain ridiculous.   Lets not forget all of the thousands of conspiracies out of Wall Street like Bernie Madoff and many others to commit fraud and extortion, among many crimes of conspiracy.  USA Today reports that over 75% of personal ads in the paper and on craigslist are married couples posing as single for a one night affair.  When someone knocks on your door to sell you a set of knives or phone cards, anything for that matter, do they have a profit motive?  What is conspiracy other than just a scary way of saying “alternative agenda”?  When 2 friends go to a bar and begin to plan their wingman approach on 2 girls they see at the bar, how often are they planning on lying to those girls?  “I own a small business and am in town for a short while.  Oh yeah, you look beautiful.”

Conspiracy theory is a term that originally was a neutral descriptor for any claim of civil, criminal or political conspiracy. However, it has come almost exclusively to refer to any fringe theory which explains a historical or current event as the result of a secret plot by conspirators of almost superhuman power and cunning.  To conspire means “to join in a secret agreement to do an unlawful or wrongful act or to use such means to accomplish a lawful end.”  The term “conspiracy theory” is frequently used by scholars and in popular culture to identify secret military, banking, or political actions aimed at stealing power, money, or freedom, from “the people”.

To many, conspiracy theories are just human nature.  Not all people in this world are honest, hard working and forthcoming about their intentions.  Certainly we can all agree on this.  So how did the term “conspiracy theory” get grouped in with fiction, fantasy and folklore?  Maybe that’s a conspiracy, just kidding.  Or am I?

Skeptics are important in achieving an objective view of reality, however, skeptism is not the same as reinforcing the official storyline.  In fact, a conspiracy theory can be argued as an alternative to the official or “mainstream” story of events.  Therefore, when skeptics attempt to ridicule a conspiracy theory by using the official story as a means of proving the conspiracy wrong, in effect, they are just reinforcing the original “mainstream” view of history, and actually not being skeptical.  This is not skeptism, it is just a convenient way for the establishment view of things to be seen as the correct version, all the time, every time.  In fact, it is common for “hit pieces” or “debunking articles” to pick extremely fringe and not very populated conspiracy theories.  This in turn makes all conspiracies on a subject matter look crazy.  Skeptics magazine and Popular Mechanics, among many others, did this with 9/11.  They referred to less than 10% of the many different conspiracy theories about 9/11 and picked the less popular ones, in fact, they picked the fringe, highly improbable points that only a few people make.  This was used as the “final investigation” for looking into the conspiracy theories.  Convenient, huh?

In fact, if one were to look into conspiracy theories, they will largely find that thinking about a conspiracy is associated with lunacy and paranoia.  Some websites suggest it as an illness.  It is also not surprising to see so many people on the internet writing about conspiracy theories in a condescending tone, usually with the words “kool-aid,” “crack pot,” or “nut job” in their articulation.  This must be obvious to anyone that emotionally writing about such serious matter insults the reader more than the conspiracy theorist because there is no need to resort to this kind of behavior.  It is employed often with an “expert” who will say something along the lines of, “for these conspiracies to be true, you would need hundreds if not thousands of people to be involved.  It’s just not conceivable.”

I find it extremely odd that the assumption is on thousands of participants in a conspiracy.  I, for one, find it hard to believe any conspiracy involving more than a handful of people but the fact remains that there have been conspiracies in our world, proven and not made up, that involved many hundreds of people.  It’s not a matter of opinion, it’s a matter of fact.

One more thing to consider, have you noticed that if the conspiracy is involving powerful interests with the ability to bribe, threaten or manipulate major institutions (like the mafia, big corporations or government) then don’t you find it odd when people use one of those as the “credible” counter-argument?  What I mean is, if you are discussing a conspiracy about the mafia, and someone hands you a debunking article that was written by the mafia, it doesn’t seem like it would take rocket science to look at that with serious criticism and credibility.  This is the case with many conspiracies.  In fact, I am handed debunking pieces all the time written in many cases by the conspirators in question.  Doesn’t this seem odd to anybody else but me?

While intelligent cynicism certainly can be healthy, though, some of the greatest discoveries of all time were initially received (often with great vitriol) as blasphemous conspiracy theories — think of the revelation that the earth was not the center of the universe, or that the world was not flat but actually round.

What follows are some of these most shocking modern conspiracy theories that turned out true after thorough investigation by our society.  Some through congressional hearings, others through investigative journalism.  Many of these, however, were just admitted to by those involved.  These are just 33 of them, and I still had a long list of others to add.  There are a total of 33 in this article.  Many of these are listed with original and credible news clips on the matter, as well as documentaries.

1. The Dreyfus Affair: In the late 1800s in France, Jewish artillery officer Alfred Dreyfus was wrongfully convicted of treason based on false government documents, and sentenced to life in prison. The French government did attempt to cover this up, but Dreyfus was eventually pardoned after the affair was made public (an act that is credited to writer Émile Zola).
2. The Mafia: This secret crime society was virtually unknown until the 1960s, when member Joe Valachi first revealed the society’s secrets to law enforcement officials.  What was known was that organized crime existed, but not that the extent of their control included working with the CIA, politicians and the biggest businesses in the world.
3. MK-ULTRA: In the 1950s to the 1970s, the CIA ran a mind-control project aimed at finding a “truth serum” to use on communist spies. Test subjects were given LSD and other drugs, often without consent, and some were tortured. At least one man, civilian biochemist Frank Olson, who was working for the government, died as a result of the experiments. The project was finally exposed after investigations by the Rockefeller Commission.

A short video about MK-ULTRA from a documentary called Secrets of the CIA:

4. Operation Mockingbird: Also in the 1950s to ’70s, the CIA paid a number of well-known domestic and foreign journalists (from big-name media outlets like Time, The Washington Post, The New York Times, CBS and others) to publish CIA propaganda. The CIA also reportedly funded at least one movie, the animated “Animal Farm,” by George Orwell. The Church Committee finally exposed the activities in 1975.

5.      Manhattan Project:  The Manhattan Project was the codename for a project conducted during World War II to develop the first atomic bomb. The project was led by the United States, and included participation from the United Kingdom and Canada. Formally designated as the Manhattan Engineer District (MED), it refers specifically to the period of the project from 1942–1946 under the control of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, under the administration of General Leslie R. Groves. The scientific research was directed by American physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer.  The project’s roots lay in scientists’ fears since the 1930s that Nazi Germany was also investigating nuclear weapons of its own. Born out of a small research program in 1939, the Manhattan Project eventually employed more than 130,000 people and cost nearly US$2 billion ($22 billion in current value). It resulted in the creation of multiple production and research sites that operated in secret.  With the total involved, this makes it one of the largest conspiracies in history.  Entire towns were built for short periods of time, employing people, all under secrecy and top national secrecy at that.  The government never admitted to it, the media never reported on it, and people had no idea for over 25 years.  Project research took place at over thirty sites across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The three primary research and production sites of the project were the plutonium-production facility at what is now the Hanford Site, the uranium-enrichment facilities at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and the weapons research and design laboratory now known as Los Alamos National Laboratory. The MED maintained control over U.S. weapons production until the formation of the Atomic Energy Commission in January 1947.

6.      Asbestos: Between 1930 and 1960, manufacturers did all they could to prevent the link between asbestos and respiratory diseases, including cancer, becoming known, so they could avoid prosecution. American workers had in fact sued the Johns Manville company as far back as 1932, but it was not until 1962 that epidemiologists finally established beyond any doubt what company bosses had known for a long time – asbestos causes cancer.

7.      Watergate: Republican officials spied on the Democratic National Headquarters from the Watergate Hotel in 1972. While conspiracy theories suggested underhanded dealings were taking place, it wasn’t until 1974 that White House tape recordings linked President Nixon to the break-in and forced him to resign.

8.      The Tuskegee Syphilis Study: The United States Public Health Service carried out this clinical study on 400 poor, African-American men with syphilis from 1932 to 1972. During the study the men were given false and sometimes dangerous treatments, and adequate treatment was intentionally withheld so the agency could learn more about the disease. While the study was initially supposed to last just six months, it continued for 40 years. Close to 200 of the men died from syphilis or related complications by the end of the study.

9.      Operation Northwoods: In the early 1960s, American military leaders drafted plans to create public support for a war against Cuba, to oust Fidel Castro from power. The plans included committing acts of terrorism in U.S. cities, killing innocent people and U.S. soldiers, blowing up a U.S. ship, assassinating Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees, and hijacking planes. The plans were all approved by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but were reportedly rejected by the civilian leadership, then kept secret for nearly 40 years.

10. 1990 Testimony of Nayirah: A 15-year-old girl named “Nayirah” testified before the U.S. Congress that she had seen Iraqi soldiers pulling Kuwaiti babies from incubators, causing them to die. The testimony helped gain major public support for the 1991 Gulf War, but — despite protests that the dispute of this story was itself a conspiracy theory — it was later discovered that the testimony was false. The public relations firm Hill & Knowlton, which was in the employ of Citizens for a Free Kuwait, had arranged the testimony.  It turned out that she had taken acting lessons on request of the CIA and was actually the niece of a major politician in Kuwait.  Nayirah was later disclosed to be Nayirah al-Sabah, daughter of Saud bin Nasir Al-Sabah, Kuwaiti ambassador to the USA.  The Congressional Human Rights Caucus, of which Congressman Tom Lantos was co-chairman, had been responsible for hosting Nurse Nayirah, and thereby popularizing her allegations. When the girl’s account was later challenged by independent human rights monitors, Lantos replied, “The notion that any of the witnesses brought to the caucus through the Kuwaiti Embassy would not be credible did not cross my mind… I have no basis for assuming that her story is not true, but the point goes beyond that. If one hypothesizes that the woman’s story is fictitious from A to Z, that in no way diminishes the avalanche of human rights violations.” Nevertheless, the senior Republican on the Human Rights Caucus, John Edward Porter, responded to the revelations “by saying that if he had known the girl was the ambassador’s daughter, he would not have allowed her to testify.”

11.  Counter Intelligence Programs Against Activists in the 60s:  COINTELPRO (an acronym for Counter Intelligence Program) was a series of covert, and often illegal, projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) aimed at investigating and disrupting dissident political organizations within the United States. The FBI used covert operations from its inception, however formal COINTELPRO operations took place between 1956 and 1971. The FBI’s stated motivation at the time was “protecting national security, preventing violence, and maintaining the existing social and political order.”  According to FBI records, 85% of COINTELPRO resources were expended on infiltrating, disrupting, marginalizing, and/or subverting groups suspected of being subversive, such as communist and socialist organizations; the women’s rights movement; militant black nationalist groups, and the non-violent civil rights movement, including individuals such as Martin Luther King, Jr. and others associated with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Congress of Racial Equality, the American Indian Movement, and other civil rights groups; a broad range of organizations labeled “New Left”, including Students for a Democratic Society, the National Lawyers Guild, the Weathermen, almost all groups protesting the Vietnam War, and even individual student demonstrators with no group affiliation; and nationalist groups such as those “seeking independence for Puerto Rico.” The other 15% of COINTELPRO resources were expended to marginalize and subvert “white hate groups,” including the Ku Klux Klan and National States’ Rights Party. The directives governing COINTELPRO were issued by FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, who ordered FBI agents to “expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize” the activities of these movements and their leaders.

12. The Iran-Contra Affair: In 1985 and ’86, the White House authorized government officials to secretly trade weapons with the Israeli government in exchange for the release of U.S. hostages in Iran. The plot was uncovered by Congress in 1987.

13.  The BCCI Scandal: The Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) was a major international bank founded in 1972 by Agha Hasan Abedi, a Pakistani financier. The Bank was registered in Luxembourg. Within a decade BCCI touched its peak, it operated in 78 countries, had over 400 branches, and had assets in excess of US$ 20 billion making it the 7th largest private bank in the world by assets.  In the late 1980′s BCCI became the target of a two year undercover operation conducted by the US Customs Service. This operation concluded with a fake wedding that was attended by BCCI officers and drug dealers from around the world who had established a personal friendship and working relationship with undercover Special Agent Robert Mazur. After a six month trial in Tampa, key bank officers were convicted and received lengthy prison sentences. Bank officers began cooperating with law enforcement authorities and that cooperation caused BCCI’s many crimes to be revealed.  BCCI came under the scrutiny of regulatory bodies and intelligence agencies in the 1980s due to its perceived avoidance of falling under one regulatory banking authority, a fact that was later, after extensive investigations, proven to be false. BCCI became the focus of a massive regulatory battle in 1991 and was described as a “$20-billion-plus heist”.  Investigators in the U.S. and the UK revealed that BCCI had been “set up deliberately to avoid centralized regulatory review, and operated extensively in bank secrecy jurisdictions. Its affairs were extraordinarily complex. Its officers were sophisticated international bankers whose apparent objective was to keep their affairs secret, to commit fraud on a massive scale, and to avoid detection.”

Conspiracy theory

In everyday life we often hear about the conspiracy theory, but perhaps many of us do not know a conspiracy theory in social science disciplines .. sometimes we make a conclusion that the conspiracy theories other than the intent.



Conspiracy theory is a theory that has been created to explain the social changes that are not planned. The meaning here is more than an unplanned that social change occurs spontaneously, but in particular the social changes that deviate from a social planning or even contradictory to the social planning (Kleden: 2001)

Conspiracy theory is a theory that is very simple. Johan Galtung using the classifications of epistemology social theories into structur approach and actors approach, thereby very beroientasi Conspiracy Theories on the actor. In a conspiracy theory assumes that people's behavior is influenced by a conscious motivation to do something that deviates from the general provisions apply.

If cultural theory to explain behavior "from the majors behind the" conspiracy theories to explain the behavior of people "from the majors ahead" (because they are driven by a strong motivation to achieve the goals he is aware of).

Tiannamen massacre in China, could be classified as conspiracy theory. Social change can be done with shooting and killing a student. Student groups and scholars at that time considered to make a social change that the government does not want, because they asked for political and social openness to interaction with the outside world as a domino effect and Glasnot Perestroika in Russia that exhaled Gorbachev. Government of China considers to stop this new phenomenon of social change is the only way the group-kelompik Eliminating it in a way: shut down ...!. Change it to this day can be felt in China ... no demonstration of students or workers in the next breath .. although they are growing industries from various foreign countries ...

According to Wikipedia, The theory of conspiracy or conspiracy theory (in English, Conspiracy theory) are theories that attempt to explain that the highest cause of one or a series of events (usually political events, social, or historical) is a secret, and often deceptive, secretly planned by a secret group of people or organization that is very powerful or influential. Many conspiracy theories claim that major events in history have been dominated by conspirators who manipulate behind the scenes of political events.

This theory is in motion seputaran global world and penetrated almost all are aspects of human life. From politics to food. For people who do not believe it was always assumed that all just a prank, corny, a waste of time, less work, and so forth. For its adherents that theory does not necessarily appear worldwide without anyone to create a pattern.

Adherents of this theory was divided into two main camps. The first group are those who simply believe that all things may happen when there is strong support for the argument, accurate facts, scientific data, opinions that can be verified, the characters are real, there is history and not myth, and so forth. These groups believe JFK was not shot, but rescued by a UFO creatures, for example. The second group are those who believe in unconditional aka those who consider anything that happened was designed in such a manner, which often connect with the myths, legends, supernatural, and so forth. For example, they believe that the events of September 11 has been designed as shown in the folds of paper money 20 dollars U.S., where if we fold the money in such a way that will create the image of burning twin towers.

There Conspiracy Behind the Century?

Despite the hustle and bustle of the case of Century Bank began to subside in the mass media, this case review process is still ongoing. Legal efforts directed to unload and find who is to blame, especially in rescue actions behind Century Bank. Finding who is at fault, certainly not free from the assumption of state losses resulting from the policy. However, the problem does not stop there, because over time, the outstanding issue of conspiracy theories linking Century Bank bailout funds with election fundraising effort by one political party, a bribe to police officials, to spread to the issue of lizard vs crocodile. Economic issues was shifted into a political issue.

In the movie Conspiracy Theory, Jerry Fletcher character played by Mel Gibson, said that a good conspiracy is a conspiracy that could never be proved. JFK assassination or Watergate, are examples of conspiracies that are difficult to prove. Until today, that appear are the various theories and speculations about what happened. Dozens of books published to analyze the historical and controversial events. But what actually happens, we'll never know. Is there really a conspiracy? We also never know.

In the field of political economy, the stories of speculation about a conspiracy too often emerged. The collapse of Lehman Brothers, the disclosure of the case Madoff, leaving many mysteries about the story of Jewish economic polarization. Domestically, the Bank Bali case until the case of Century Bank, for example, are various examples that relate how politics, power and money, are brethren.

A brother of another faith who often participate in kelindan was a "crime". Mario Puzzo in the novel Godfather writes, "Behind Every great fortune, there is 'a crime'. In other words, Puzzo want to say, "Behind the bertriliun amount of money, no crime."

Bailouts amounting to Rp 6.7 trillion rupiah, the strength of parties and individuals who reach billions of rupiah, and a very large flow of funds, would become an issue of "sexy" that invites questions. From where and to where those funds flow? And whether the funds associated with the conspiracy?

The question was certainly not easy to find answer. Then we too often led to claims to facts in making speculative interpretation of symptoms. Finally, no less than we are trapped into a disheveled and keterjebakan epistemic problems. A game of logic, which means, we assume something as the real thing. And that's just the fact that our assumptions. We regard a thing that happens, when it was only supposition we would an event.

The issue of a conspiracy behind the rescue of Century Bank, if any, would be interesting to reveal. However, with various limitations and analysis of empirical data, at least there are some things that need to be recorded prior to the query.

First, the views of experts and analysts in addressing the case of Century Bank is often inadequate. Often we see that most actual problems, both political and economic, attempted solved by common sense and logic, but weak empirical base. What do we know until now of more cases of Century Bank of the learning by Hearsay, or waffle a la coffee shops in various His throne: some say the high level of information leaks, gossip side of the road, or analysis of a more speculative nature than empirical. If we look at the responses on a blog or other media, it's more real. Responding to this case, each person bring their own analysis, which looks sophisticated, but of course, speculative because the support is insufficient empirical data.

Second, within the limits of empirical data, one fact that we can see is actually the macroeconomic conditions at Century Bank saved. At that time, it is difficult policy choices. Banks closed or saved, has its own risks. Preferred policy authority when it is saved Century Bank. And it is public policy made by the calculation to rescue the financial system more broadly.

Authorities often say that the rescue was done by a policy of good faith or good faith for the sake of macroeconomic area. Without thinking rescue to save the one hand, let alone help the owners. We see that the owner of Century Bank itself precisely captured. But we also understand, good intentions do not suffice. Good intentions are stored only in the liver, it is difficult to prove. Is visible is the impact of those policies. The impact of the policy for most people is more important to look at.

We see the current condition of the financial system is relatively stable and strong. Maintained the trust was able to avoid melting deeper than our financial system, and could prevent us from further crisis. Macroeconomic conditions in Indonesia one year after the policy was decided also much more solid and better. Meanwhile, fears of missing funds could also be minimized because of Century Bank is still operating, with a new name is Pearl Bank. That is, the possibility of bailouts to return there as well. When Pearl Bank operation improve, then the income will be used to replace the bailout.

Then what about a conspiracy? Where are the funds flow? And Who is to blame in this case? This analysis can only be stopped at the edge when the policy of Century Bank carried out the rescue.

But on the other side of the edge that, if then there is a conspiracy behind the bailout rescue, or whether there are political interests from the use of bailout funds, wholly located in a dark mystery that is far from my empirical coverage. It became a puzzle behind the dark night sky (the Riddle of a dark night sky).

My hope is that hopefully this case can be resolved properly and not just the expense of a certain party is politically weak, for the sake of mere spectator satisfaction "soap operas", as often happens in each case. (Junanto Herdiawan)

Century Bank Entry Category Conspiracy?

In an effort to find who is guilty in law, economic observers Drajad Dr. Wibowo view that President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono issued a statement should be more productive and action related to the case of Century Bank bailouts.

Unmitigated, Drajad advised the President asked for information or to interrogate the three officials who make decisions disburse funds of Rp 6.7 trillion for the bank.

They are the Governor of Bank Indonesia (then) Boediono, Chairman of the Financial Sector Stabilization Committee (KSSK) as well as Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani, and Secretary KSSK Raden Pardede.

"By examining them, the President will have an objective picture about the case and could decide the fate of our customers," said former House member 2004-2009, Thursday (19/11) in the Parliament Building, Jakarta.

If the President was busy with a pile of his duty, he suggested re-established the team as well as verification of facts with which to probe Eight Team Seed-Chandra facts of the case.

Finding who is at fault, certainly not free from the assumption of state losses resulting from the policy. However, the problem does not stop there, because over time, the outstanding issue of conspiracy theories linking Century Bank bailout funds with election fundraising effort by one political party, a bribe to police officials, to spread to the issue of lizard vs crocodile. Economic issues was shifted into a political issue.

In view of the activists and the youth, said Junanto Herdiawan, an observer Century case, this case is suffering from the potential conspiracy. In the movie Conspiracy Theory, Jerry Fletcher character played by Mel Gibson, said that a good conspiracy is a conspiracy that could never be proved.

JF Kennedy assassination, or Watergate, are examples of conspiracies that are difficult to prove. Until today, that appear are the various theories and speculations about what happened.

Dozens of books published to analyze the historical and controversial events. But what actually happens, we'll never know. Is there really a conspiracy? We also never know.

In the field of political economy, the stories of speculation about a conspiracy too often emerged. The collapse of Lehman Brothers, the disclosure of the case Madoff, leaving many mysteries about the story of Jewish economic polarization.

Domestically, the Bank Bali case until the case of Century Bank, for example, are various examples that relate how politics, power and money, are brethren. A brother of another faith who often participate in kelindan was "evil.

Mario Puzzo in the novel Godfather writes, "Behind Every great fortune, there is' a crime. In other words, Puzzo want to say," Behind the trillions of rupiah currency, there is a crime.

Therefore, Century bailouts amounting to Rp 6.7 trillion to the power of parties and individuals who reach billions of rupiah, and a very large flow of funds, would become an issue of "sexy that invite questions.

From where and to where the funds were flowing Century? And whether the funds associated with the conspiracy? All are still a puzzle that must be completed by the society and government itself. Is not justice and righteousness must be upheld even though the heavens fall?

Aspiration, Inspiration And Conspiracy

Said aspiration lately attracted a lot of good country boy who engaged in the legislative sphere, is being ruled as an executive, a pompous observers omniscient charioteer to talk and debate in a coffee shop, bus terminals and ojeg hangout. Aspirations to be a central point in the talks and many in making a statement using different and diverse viewpoints. In fact, there is also a style that makes the So and so-funny bodor not say that the aspirations of the shrimp paste when mixed with aspirin - wants to make headaches disappear Hence reap rotten fish smell.

If we do the hunting of words such as in the wilderness of the Great Dictionary of Indonesian Language in the network or online KBBI http://pusatbahasa.diknas.go.id/kbbi/ it is not merely an explanation of the aspirations that we get but also get a lot of phonetic similarity as inspiration , conspiracy, perspirasi, suspirasi, preaspirasi and transpiration. In this popular article let's look at three-word limit with synonyms: aspiration, inspiration and conspiracy and we have to link with each other. From KBBI we get definitions and examples of the trio said the following:

U.S. · pi · ra · the n one hopes and goals for success in the future: Outlines of State Policy are essentially World War - the nation; 2 dl creative inspiration rathe;

in · spi ra · · the n inspiration;
to · in · spi · · the v ra inspiring; inspire:
to · in · spi ra · · the · v makes it an inspiration;
tar · in · spi ra · · the v has been inspired; inspired

· con spi ra · · the n plot, conspiracy

Trio aspiration, inspiration and conspiracies have been used in order teknoekonomi and also sociopolitical and also in daily life. An NGO in the UK for example, mobilize various forces academics, businessmen and government (ABG), plus the community building as an innovative community for a civilized society menggapi ideals of science and knowledge. Here are excerpts that serve as a unifying and burning zeal in the social movement.

"The aspiration ongoing project promotes community engagement and participation, Which is vital as the new community Learns Airways for aligning its work, measuring its progress and leveraging its resources." The project promotes participation and aspiration is an important public commitment to their roles will learn new ways of harmonizing the work, measuring performance with the resources they have.

Aspiration Inspiration

Ideas, inspiration, or inspiration that comes to mind thanks to the individuals supporting a variety of factors. People who have high self-motivation or creative sebuat often we always come out with all sorts of inspiration that sometimes did not occur to people in general. Some are inspired by dreams and some are ideas arise if the psychological pressure. Good leader in family structure, social organization, business, government and the legislature would be supported if the aspirations of many members who fought a unifying inspiration from the variety of members, subordinates, supporters or constituents. Of course there are anomalies where a great leader with charisma and its influence can still be able to fight for their aspirations and strong support from the undercurrent though it purely based on the aspirations of inspiration alone. Let's look at an interesting case. European Union (EU) to make Bologna Declaration, in 1999 where one focus is to reform the world of higher education in Europe including countries of the former European colonies (eg. Francophone Africa). Although this declaration has been rotated more than 10 years still a long and steep road to success. When Bologna process will be applied in Africa arise argument that questions whether the world of higher education reform movement is the true aspirations of the few characters EU, EU public inspiration or a combination. Progress of this reform is still far from achieving the declared. Of the many cases of change, especially major reform was a success only if the aspirations of the spirit of reform was based on the inspiration that emerged in the grassroots (grass root).

Inspiration destined Conspiracy

Unusual if in a conversation a la academia a coffee shop until the discussion going on an exchange and sharing inspiration. Periodic group of people who inspired it and then continue their discussions on working together and become an even produce a series of masterpieces. Look for example a group of young people in Liverpool who then did the conspiracy on the inspiration of each member to produce the world's top songs with the name of the legendary band The Beatles. In the ground-water, there is also a similar incident where a group of creative young people who like to hangout at a coffee shop and a base ojeg AntaPani, Bandung. Their artistic inspiration to trigger the formation of a conspiracy and born-band pop group named Peterpan. Inspiration Hermawan Kertajaya in Indonesia attracted the attention of marketing version of The Marketing Guru, Phillip Kottler. Tempers conspiracy to produce various models of marketing that made the books sold well in the Indonesian language and has been translated into many other foreign language (particularly non-English). Another interesting case is what happened in the UK where the public, including learning about the issues, problems and political challenges done through comedy. This comedy could be performing at the theater or through sinteron comedy. In one of the episodes in the series titled comedy Yes, Prime Minister (38 episodes, the period from 1980 to 1988) told how the occurrence of a conspiracy in the government who were inspired by the reality of daily life.

Aspiration potentially Conspiracy

In the best-selling movie at the end of '90, entitled Conspiracy Theory, who played Mel Gibson's macho actor and actress Julia "Pretty Woman" Roberts projected how the conspiracy of the elite institutions are formed by the Government of the USA in the murder of one of its citizens by removing traces of a secret movement. With eccentric style, a taxi driver named Jerry Fletcher (Mel Gibson) reveals the vile conspiracy. There is also an article that linked how an aspiration which is accused of a conspiracy is the study of the Israeli government subterfuge in building tunnels containing Al Kahder ketata supervision strategy and restriction of movement of Palestinians.

Afterword: From the definitions, plus a little review of these examples we can understand better the meaning of the trio of words - their aspirations, inspiring and conspiracy. Of course with the provisions of this understanding, views, suggestions and criticism on the issue of our aspirations is to be hot news in the ground-water would be more fitting. Us from the inevitable accusation of babble, and criticizing the opposition. Become more discerning in delivering inspiration to our aspirations if it rolled into a conspiracy of political elites (the judicial, legislative and executive branches) in building a more democratic life and in an effort to realize the Sila-V - Social Justice For All Indonesian

Ventura turns investigator for 'Conspiracy Theory'

MINNEAPOLIS —

Jesse Ventura is back for another stab at TV stardom, this time hosting a program that digs into conspiracy theories, including alternate views of what was behind the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and the purpose of a sprawling research center in remote Alaska.

The former Minnesota governor, professional wrestler and Navy SEAL stars in "Conspiracy Theory With Jesse Ventura," which premieres Wednesday night on truTV. The cable network, part of Turner Broadcasting System Inc., has ordered seven episodes of the hourlong weekly series.

Aside from his wrestling career, Ventura has not had a good track record on TV. His Saturday evening talk show, "Jesse Ventura's America," lasted only two months on MSNBC in late 2003 (his debut drew a small audience of 194,000 people).

Ventura declined to talk to The Associated Press, but he said on CNN's "Larry King Live" Monday night that his new show doesn't examine conspiracy theories involving the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy or the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., but instead confines itself to the past decade.

"And believe me, the problem, Larry, wasn't finding conspiracies - it was choosing which ones we wanted to cover," Ventura told Larry King.

Marc Juris, executive vice president and general manager of truTV, said Ventura is passionate about the show and brings "knowledge from the inside" of government.

"He's not doing this as an act or a gimmick. It's true to his heart. He's really looking for the answers," Juris told the AP.

The premiere episode deals with the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, or HAARP, a 35-acre compound of 180 antennas near Gakona, Alaska, that is used to study the Earth's ionosphere. Ventura and those he interviews question whether the government is using the site to manipulate the weather or to bombard people with mind-controlling radio waves.

"This thing can knock planes out of the air. It can control the weather. And it's a very dangerous, dangerous weapon," Ventura said Tuesday on "The Morning Blend" talk show on WTMJ-TV of Milwaukee. (The HAARP Web site says the research station does not affect the weather and was not designed for military purposes.)

On the debut show, Ventura talks to a team of "Conspiracy Theory" investigators about HAARP and makes an unplanned visit to the research station, only to be turned back at the gates.

"When I get denied something, I do the opposite of getting intimidated - I get angry," Ventura fumes.

HAARP, which is managed by the Air Force Research Laboratory and the Office of Naval Research, is open to the public for one day every other year.

Jillian Speake, an Air Force spokeswoman based in Kirtland, N.M., said Ventura made an official request to visit the research station but was rejected, "and he and his crew show up at HAARP anyway and were denied access."

Future "Conspiracy Theory" shows explore alleged cover-ups surrounding the Sept. 11 attacks and whether there are real "Manchurian Candidate" assassins who are programmed to kill, said Juris. But he said the show is selective in which theories it investigates.

"We're not just running around the country and talking to anyone who has a conspiracy theory. We're actually looking for consistency in the types of stories we're hearing," Juris said. "We're trying to see if there's an element of truth to it."

Ventura, whose wrestling nickname was "The Body," has a tough-guy image that appeals primarily to a male audience, said Marisa Guthrie, programming editor of trade publication Broadcasting & Cable. That reliance on Ventura may be good or bad for his new show's prospects, she said.

"It will live and die with him. If he is likable enough or if he is believable enough, it will work. But that remains to be seen," Guthrie said.

Juris wouldn't say how much Ventura, who is also executive producer of the show, was being paid. Guthrie said she couldn't guess at his salary, but she said Ventura could reap a big reward if the show becomes a hit.

"You don't get a huge payday in the beginning," Guthrie said. "If the show is a hit ... that's when he really starts to make money."
