Paranoid? Maybe you should be.
August 21, 2008
What really happened in Jonestown? Who assassinated Martin Luther King, Jr? Did Lee Harvey Oswald act on his own? Did the Freemasons really have such an influence on American history? Does having an ID card infringe on one's personal rights? Who are the Illuminati and did they really exist?
For thoughtful essays on these questions, and many more, check out Conspiracy Theories in American History (Reference 973.03 K746). Questions such as those mentioned are not answered here. Rather, various reports, issues, and people are examined to show the story behind the conspiracy theory. This is a great place to find what the theories are, and how they grew in the first place. So, maybe you don't have to be paranoid after all.
