Do you like a good Conspiracy Theory?

I visited the blog Beam Me Up the other day because they were discussing a very clever short story written by Shaun Saunders entitled "The Colors 12." I listened to this short story on a podcast they have and I was amazed at the story and the interesting plot that included most conspiracy theories such as an elite shadow group that truly governs the populations and world governments are just their puppets on strings. In the short story, each member is referred to by a color such as Mr. Green and Mr. Magenta, and each member discusses issues ranging from population reduction, aliens, and zero point energy. They want to maintain complete control over all aspects of human life. As a side note, I think the Stargate franchise as been so popular because it includes so many conspiracy theories and they even poke fun at themselves in that regard, but back to the topic.
The blog post was interesting on another note in that they linked to an Austrian journalist named Jane Burgermeister who has brought charges against the WHO, UN, and other high ranking officials citing Bioterrorism and intent to commit mass murder with the vaccine being prepared for the A/H1N1 virus. She is not citing that all vaccines are deadly, this we know because many vaccines have saved many lives. She is referring to this particular vaccine because she believes that the virus was engineered in a laboratory in the first place.
I am bringing up the short story and the news article because there are many people who believe that there does exist and elite group that wishes to reduce the population in order to preserve natural resources for their superior lineage. Well, I do not doubt there are some who desire this but they have been unable to achieve this goal because the world population would not be more than six billion and growing. They would have maintained a small population throughout history but I do not doubt that in difficult financial times there may be some who wish to make as much profit as possible by any means possible even risking the health of people. They may rush to make a vaccine without proper testing protocols and the necesary time (in years) it takes to perfect such a vaccine. The H1N1 virus is not as deadly as Malaria, for example which leads me to believe that big bucks are involved in this entire ordeal, and money makes people do unbelievable things.
Getting back to the short story, what I love about science fiction is that you can take world situations or long held beliefs and turn them into wonderful stories that make you think about the world and people differently. Then you are left with the decision to make on your own: could this be real or is it really just fiction?
Here is the link to the podcast and you need to advance to about the 39 minute mark if you only want to hear the "The Colors 12."
