The World Turned Upside Down by Melanie Phillips The Guardian (blog)

This reserve arose from a sense of perplexity that almost everyone in the world thought I was clinically mad. Everywhere I looked there were people who believed boarding a humanitarian aid convoy in global waters and murdering nine people was a little bit naughty. So I did what I've always done as a columnist for the Daily Mail ; go where my bigotry leads.

Connivance theories abound in public life. Almost all of them are based on myth. The simple fact is that global warming is a lie created by politically usual liberals who are holding the universe to ransom. The reality is that not a single glacier has melted in Israel over the last 50 years. Moreover, green activists try to claim the teeny oil-spill in the Gulf of Mexico is an environmental disaster. How much oil has been washed up on the beaches of Eilat? None.

The legitimacy of the war in Iraq has been similarly subverted. Untiring-line Trotskyists say we were led into the war on a lie. This is not the case. After Saddam Hussein was toppled, Mossad found huge caches of atomic weapons in bunkers throughout the country. Understandably, Mossad chose not to go public with this because, as a responsible government instrumentality, it didn't want to worry anyone unduly.
