Conspiracies add spice to life.

There were 2 conspiracies in the coup that never was. The first was by a group of senior army officers who spooked the government with rumors of an impending coup so as to make the present army chief, Gen VK Singh look bad. The second was by a combination of arms lobbies, middlemen, foreign governments and armament firms against the Defence Minister, AK Antony. Apparently Mr Antony has been steadfast in his stand against corruption in defence procurement and has even blacklisted 6 top armaments companies including 4 foreign companies. Hence the scoundrels have ganged up against him. The recent victory of Aung San Suu Kyi in the by elections in Burma in which her party, the National League for Democracy won 43 out of 44 seats was a vile conspiracy by the ruling junta. They rigged the elections in her favor so that stupid western governments will drop sanctions against the regime and the US has already done that. The BBC alleged a conspiracy by the President of Argentina, Cristina Fernandes de Kirchner for raising the illegal occupation of the Malvinas ( Falklands to the British marauders ) at this time. Apparently she is trying to divert attention from a decline in the economy and rising inflation. Of course, the upper class fascist, David Cameron is not trying to divert attention from a deepening recession, rising unemployment, lowering taxes for the rich while cutting services for the poor, the disabled and the sick and raising taxes for pensioners by sending the newly built air defence destroyer, HMS Dauntless for a 6 months tour of the Malvinas. However, all these are nothing compared to the mother of all conspiracies unraveling in China. The Communist Party Chief of Chongqing, Bo Xilai has been removed from his post while his wife, the very fetching, Gu Kailai is not to be seen. Bo Xilai is the son of Bo Yibo, one of the 8 elders of the Communist Party while Gu Kailai is the daughter of Gu Jinsheng, a Communist general renowned for his role in fighting the Japanese in the 1930s. They are, therefore, as aristocratic as one can get in China. Bo Xilai's downfall came when the former police chief of Chongqing, Wang Lijun sought refuge in a US consulate in China. Wang was apparently fearful for his life after alleging that British businessman, Neil Heywood, who died in Chongqing last year, was poisoned after falling out with Gu Kailai. Some see a conspiracy by upstarts in the Communist Party against the children of the founders of China in an attempt to gain control of the Party and hence total control of the country. Conspiracies are wonderful adding color to our daily existence. Knowing how villainous politicians are who is to say that conspiracies are not real.
