With Conspiracies, Size Matters

“If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.”
 Khalil Gibran

Two can keep a secret forever if one is dead and the other dies shortly after. (A variation on a Benjamin Franklin quote.)

As a people, we have become consumed by the idea of conspiracies or the belief that they exist and are quite impenetrable. For the past four years, we have endured a never-ending stream about a conspiracy that stole the 2020 election, the “China” virus and the associated vaccine conspiracy, and the opening of the border floodgates for the “great replacement” conspiracy.

I thought it might be helpful to put a context on precisely what would happen for any of these to exist, let alone succeed. Wouldn’t the “common knowledge” of a conspiracy’s existence negate its success?

But let’s assume for the moment that these conspiracies exist.

The Department of Justice has 113,114 employees, including the FBI, US Marshalls Service, BATF, and DEA; eight levels of lawyers in Criminal, Civil, Antitrust, Tax, Civil Rights, Environmental, National Security, and Justice management; and 94 US Attorneys’ Offices for the federal judicial districts.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has 10,639 employees responsible for dealing with epidemics, chronic health issues, and episodic health issues for the federal government.

There are 18,478 employees in the National Institute of Health (NIH) responsible for medical research and other tasks.

There are 10,987 employees at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) responsible for evaluating and approving drug treatments.

There are 300 employees at the Federal Election Commission (FEC).

One hundred fifty-three thousand five hundred eighteen employees could—and at least a significant number would have to—participate in these conspiracies and keep this a secret for this to succeed. It is ludicrous on its face.

Let’s take an easy one: the COVID-19 vaccine and the “China” virus. For there to be a conspiracy, members of these agencies, CDC, FDA, and NIH, would have to be involved. Between these three, there are 40,104 employees.

Let’s be conservative and say only 5% are involved in this action. Over 2000 people would have some knowledge and participation in the conspiracy. Two thousand people would have to exhibit behavior contrary to human history and keep silent. Remaining silent while over one million Americans died, all for the profits of big pharma or inducing mind control to the population.

Really?

For the biggie, the stealing of the election—as if over a million dead Americans aren’t enough— the numbers are even higher, 113,414 employees who could hear about the conspiracy. If we use the same 5% criteria, 5600+ employees are actively participating—and keeping silent— in the conspiracy.

The whole concept is not only laughable but also impossible. With the easy accessibility of social media and other means of anonymously posting information, there is no realistic scenario under which such conspiracies could arise, let alone succeed.

Anyone who has worked in government for even a short period will tell you there are few secrets kept. Human nature pushes against secrecy.

Those who promulgate such dangerous lies betray their country, fellow Americans, and personal integrity for selfish political purposes. History will ostracize those who spread such idiocy for their cowardice and moral turpitude.

Anyone who buys into such nonsense without taking even the briefest moment to consider the plausibility of such conspiracies is a sucker.

A lie repeated often enough does not make it true; it makes it provender for fools. It is as if reality is so troubling that they prefer the lie.
