    It's authored by Jeffery Sachs, not exactly a fringe-right wing conspiracy theorist (though still right wing as much as he tries to play otherwise)

      Oh, it's not even about my concerns for the author's political leanings. I'm more concerned about my own. Mao could've risen from the grave and written the article and I'd still be skeptical.

      I just think it's so similar to a conspiracy theory I thought was nonsense for years but this one coincidentally plays right into my Leftist suspicion of the US. Although, damn, at this point I'm really just saying I'm skeptical out of caution because I'm ready to believe it. This really explains everything, perfectly puts all the puzzle pieces together, and just makes a lot of fucking sense to me. The US never ceases to amaze me.
