How to Spice Up an Iran Conspiracy Article
Here's a lengthy Iran-Latin America conspiracy article, which is more or less identical to many others over the years.* The basic recipe, which you can spice up in various ways, is as follows:
1. Discuss how Iranian leaders have spoken to leftist leaders in Latin America
2. Refer to 1992 bombing in Argentina
3. Paste together circumstantial and unconnected evidence
4. Criticize those who do not believe Iran is a threat in Latin America, including the State Department
5. Suggest taking "action," preferably "before it's too late."
The current article used the following extra spice:
1. Bring in Machiavelli
2. Talk a lot about 9/11
3. Discuss 1979 hostages in Iran
* One of my favorites is the one asserting "the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence."
