What would be the 9/11 of the KGB, pray tell? What false flag terrorism atrocity were "the Anarchists" ever accused of? I'm puzzled by this comment, really. Sounds completely ridiculous to me, but maybe it's just me.

Pardon? First, Communism and the KGB are totally different subjects, especially when you are talking about Conspiracy Theories. The 9/11 of the Communist era was the 1917 revolution where they overthru the Tsarist monarchy. This is the great "Red Conspiracy" that people such as Senator McCarthy spent his time pushing around. The Communists at various times were accused of corrupting our water supplies (fluoride, etc.), domino theory, world domination, etc. They were behind every thing and many conspiracy theories of the 30's up thru the 60's had them as the bad guys. The Anarchists are just older forms of that and popular up thru the 1920's. I assume you know about Sacho-Vanzetti?

Catholics, Irish, Atheists, Jews and others have been accused at various times of plotting against things.

Such fables are nothing new. American pamphleteers in the 1790s warned of a plot by atheist, libertine Illuminati and Freemasons to concoct an abortion-inducing tea and “a method for filling a bedchamber with pestilential vapours”. The bestselling book of the 1830s was a racy confession by a repentant nun detailing a scheme by Catholics to undermine Protestant morals. At around the same time, Samuel Morse, better known as the inventor of Morse Code, exposed an Austrian plan to install a Hapsburg prince as emperor of the United States. In the 20th century, Americans feared reds more than royals; hence Joe McCarthy's witch-hunts, and the popularity of Father Charles Coughlin, who told radio audiences that “Masons and Marxists rule the world”.
