Mr. Splash,
What you seek is a "grand unification" theory of conspiratorial history. The string theory of evil, if you will.
If only it were that simple. But maybe it is.
It has oft been repeated by many well known and lesser known theorists of the human condition that "a person is smart, people are stupid". This
means that you and I, on our own, can be trusted with a reasonable expectation to make the right choice when faced with a stressful decision. On the
other hand, when a group of people react to a similar stressful decision that effects the group, the reliability of coming up with a correct decision
erodes. And the larger the group, the more we encounter group stupidity.
History teaches us this. One need not be overly concerned with the source of their history study (and reliability thereof) to glean this important
observation.
What does this tell us? Why, we are the conspiracy. No other species on this planet acts poorly in groups. No other species sullies its own nest. Our
intelligence is a mistake of nature, it is our downfall, our demise, and ultimately our primary failing.
Nature is the conspiracy, and we are the unwitting targets. There is your theory of everything!
