Did you know that there are at least 489 new conspiracies per second starting somewhere in the world, day-in and day-out, all year long, every year? This is a conservative estimate based on known facts. The actual figure could be far higher, because conspirators don't usually like to be discovered.

If anyone ever insinuates that conspiracies never happen or are too rare to be taken seriously, tell them that they're suffering from conspiracy blindness-a malady that seems to strike Americans and West Europeans with alarming regularity.

This book may well be the cure for conspiracy blindness.
