Public policy scholar Lance deHaven-Smith discusses the concepts of "conspiracy theories" and SCADs--State Crimes Against Democracy. "Conspiracy theory" is a smear introduced by the CIA. SCADs are genuine crimes committed by high government officials.
Part 2 discusses both concepts and provides many little-known facts about proven, probable, and possible SCADs. One focus is this country's many completed or attempted assassinations. Another is the voting machine frauds of 2000 and 2004.
deHaven-Smith spoke in Denver on September 6, 2013. Robin Upton, of Unwelcome Guests (unwelcomeguests.net/724) provided an edited sound recording, which I have edited further.
