Interviewer Douglas Cirignano has compiled a series of 12 interviews for his book American Conspiracies and Cover Ups. He interviewed Robert B. Stinnett (Pearl Harbor), Barr McClellan (JFK Assassination), Dr. William Pepper (MLK Assassination), Joe Banister (Income Tax), G. Edward Griffin (The Fed), Dr. Alan C. Cantwell (Origin of AIDS), Dr. Ralph Moss (Cancer), Bev Harris (Voting), Charles Key (Oklahoma City Bombing), Noam Chomsky (MSM Control), Jim Marrs (New World Order), and David Ray Griffin (9/11). It’s a good set of interviews, which are now published by Skyhorse in one collection. In this episode, S.T. Patrick asks Cirignano to take us through the process. Then, we hear a TedX talk from Matthew Dentith called “Just Because It’s a Conspiracy Doesn’t Mean It Isn’t True.” To wrap up, S.T Patrick asks why we are so angry and whom that benefits.

In the law, a conspiracy is [a] an agreement to commit a crime, coupled with [b] a step in furtherance of the agreement.
For example, A and B agree to rob a convenience store. In furtherance of this agreement, B buys a toy that looks like a real pistol, which is to be used in the robbery. These two facts combined amount to a prosecutable conspiracy, even though neither fact by itself is a criminal offense.
This conspiracy is likely to be difficult to establish, unless a prosecutor can plea-bargain A or B and get A or B to testify against the other.
In the real world, a prosecutor wouldn’t bother with A or B (assuming the robbery, a separate crime, didn’t occur), unless perhaps the prosecutor can gain some personal advantage by going after A or B. Which might be the case, for example, if A is the son of the prosecutor’s political rival.
