Supernatural Conspiracy Theories Are Melting Your Brain: Try Not to Get It on My Shoes

… And even deeper down, past the Google searches and the Yahoo! Answers links, lies a vast pool of arbitrarily connected websites and communities, password-protected forums and heavily moderated chat rooms where the most radical theorists endlessly debate their favorite conspiracy: La Ruche.
La Ruche–or The Hive, for all you Trekkers out there–is rumored to be a power-hungry cabal, based somewhere in Western Europe. If you believe the rumors, twelve or so years ago, this strange investment group began filtering funds into EU and US coffers and has since built a massive base of political power.
Typical stuff so far, but the ultimate kicker? Mysticism. A strange combination of the Kabbalah, medieval magic and mythical creatures has led to the bewildering underlying currents of La Ruche.
The articles and fact sheets list details at length: midnight rituals, blood wars, internal power struggles, and at least one accusation of vampirism in the White House. It’s the conspiracy theory to end all conspiracy theories; the undead exist and they’re slowly taking all of our money and power for themselves.
The community of conspiracy theorists grows larger everyday, but a few basic questions make it difficult for even the least skeptical of brains to swallow the outlandish theories. In the case of our supernatural overlords, does it really seem all that likely? How many people would have to be involved to keep something like that secret?
Don’t wander too far off the beaten path, old friends. There’s plenty of weird science out there without needing to invent new fringe theories. Let’s get to work on flying cars before we expend too much effort on werewolf power-seekers.

If you are willing to buy a house, you would have to get the business loans. Furthermore, my mother commonly takes a car loan, which seems to be the most reliable.
