People with real enemies whom they believe to be imaginary are called victims. It is often difficult to tell which is which until it is too late and sometimes even then. Some people call me paranoid because I am a conspiracy theorist. In this world today anybody who's not paranoid isn't paying enough attention.
Theory develops best from practice, and from observation.
I have studied conspiracy in the library, in the lab, and in the field. As the French say, you never look under the bed unless you've hidden there yourself. I'm certainly no coincidence theorist. Those guys couldn't outwit a box of rocks. Listen up guys.
