   I don’t know what lefty spaces you frequent but I have never heard anyone   
   even mention, much less believe, those conspiracies you cite. You’re right   
   we have them though. The one I remember most is that Bush invaded   
   Afghanistan so Shell Oil could put a pipeline through there. Anti-vax also   
   has a significant granola earth mother contingent.
