The Great Conspiracy Theory


The phrase conspiracy theory is used to point out an account genre that comprises an expansive assortment of points of view for the subsistence of majestic plots. The term is usually used by intellectuals and in popular culture to identify secret military, banking, or political actions aimed at stealing power, money, or freedom, from the people. Conspiracy theories are based on the notion that complex plots are put into motion by powerful hidden forces. Less illustrious uses refer to folklore and urban legend and a variety of explanatory narratives which are constructed with methodological flaws or biases. Originally a neutral term, it has acquired a somewhat derogatory meaning, implying a paranoid tendency to see the influence of some malign covert agency in events. The term is sometimes used to automatically dismiss claims that are deemed ridiculous, misconceived, paranoid, unfounded, outlandish or irrational.

A recent mishap in one of the departments led to the ousting of a high-ranking official due to the misuse of funds. It was later found out that the tampering of documents and misappropriation of funds led to the discovery of an official to overhaul millions of pesos.

The administration became furious and, being caught unaware of the situation, hired an internal auditor and established management information system on internal audit and oversee the system for safeguarding the company assets and determine whether the procedures for control are being followed or not. However, another official had been silently lurking through the accounts even before the incident. The personnel managed to send money to “dead” accounts and forged signatures just to get a hand on them. In spite the talent, the management tracked down and found out that hundreds of thousands of pesos were maliciously taken.

I don’t know what really the real score is. I cannot elaborate. Still, I believe there are other great conspiracies happening. They can be more than what we can fathom and may not be ours to consume.
