By Sallust, with a modern translation and introduction by Josiah Osgood.
In 63 BC, frustrated by his failure to be elected leader of the Roman Republic, the aristocrat Catiline tried to topple its elected government. Backed by corrupt elites and poor, alienated Romans, he fled Rome while his associates plotted to burn the city and murder its leading politicians. The attempted coup culminated with the unmasking of the conspirators in the Senate, a stormy debate that led to their execution, and the defeat of Catiline and his legions in battle. In How to Stop a Conspiracy, Josiah Osgood presents a brisk, modern new translation of the definitive account of these events, Sallust’s The War with Catiline.
In a taut, jaw-dropping narrative, Sallust combines juicy details about Catiline and his louche associates with highly quotable moral judgments and a wrenching description of the widespread social misery they exploited. Along the way, we get unforgettable portraits of the bitter and haunted Catiline, who was sympathetic to the plight of Romans yet willing to destroy Rome; his archenemy Cicero, who thwarts the conspiracy; and Julius Caesar, who defends the conspirators and is accused of being one of them. Complete with an introduction that discusses how The War with Catiline has shaped and continues to shape our understanding of how republics live and die, this volume makes Sallust’s gripping history more accessible than ever before.

This book was written in 63BC, which makes it 1960 years old, so it’s obviously completely out-of-date and irrelevant by modern standards.
How stupid would you have to be to upload something like this.

Thanks very much. Wisdom from the Roman Republic is still relevant. Human nature hasn’t changed. Unfortunately.

Thanks again, popty, another winner.

Incidentally, that first lad has mixed up his ADs & his BCs. He’s way, way off.

So conspiracies exist in the real world after all, not just in the deranged minds of tin foil hat wearing nutjobs? Or is it that their existence is only allowed to be acknowledged from the safe distance of two millennia?
Call me confused.

Well, conspiracy is a legal category as well. It ought to be distinguished from “conspiracy theory,” which is largely an isolated internet category.
Conspiracy comes under the rubric of inchoate offences, such as attempt & incitement. If you’re quick, like my buddy Cicero, you can catch those blaggards in the act, or just prior to the act. In flagrante, or catch them rapid, as the old saw goes.

Thank you so much

Having to explain that there’s a difference between the word ‘conspiracy’ and the phenomena of ‘conspiracy theories’ really does mark the low point of human endeavour.

I look into conspiracy theories, some of which are entertaining even if they’re false. But I only believe conspiracy facts that are based on researched evidence. Such as many mainstream narratives being demonstrable hoaxes that only serve the powers that (shouldn’t) be.

The con theory is, by definition, unverifiable, self-serving, reinforcing & intrinsically circular in its “reasoning” (that the hated Jew is ultimately behind everything, for inst). The courageous con theorist in his isolated basement, armed only with pathological paranoia & an internet connection, has figured out (through “research”) the most byzantine concatenation of fiendish plots that no one else has been able to perceive (the evidentiary source is - some other isolated guy, in a different basement, who really needs to get some sleep). Then the weaponised nonsense proceeds to spread & flow. That’s why we’re seeing so many more of these, because of the net; and because we’re far more socially atomised.
However, conspiracy is a discrete category, which can actually be verified in law.

The point is these statists would rather protect the conspirators than avoid the horrific fallout from the carnage of the conspiracy, i.e. world wars etcetera. Their usual tactic is censorship and gaslighting just like we are seeing on this forum with the moderator deleting my comments

Could someone upload Cicero’s COMPLETE letters & speeches that have survived? These tiny tidbits are insufficient, the constant editorialising annoying. Give us please hours upon hours of 100% pure Cicero!
