Ahhh... Those conspiracy theories, which may or may not exist, all linked
with connections which may or may not exist, and all this fun stuff...
I recommend reading Umberto Eco's "Foucault's Pendulum." He discusses these
things with an interesting approach... It's a work of fiction, btw, but in
it, a couple guys start making up some "connections" only to discover that
it seems these connections are real, and the people involved are
serious--deadly serious. Only to discover, in the end, that.... Well, I'll
let you read the book.
