I'll look for some links later. Though would assume most articles will be more based in the nature of paranoia. What's interesting to me is conspiracy theorist encountered have an outlook on humanity in terms sheep and wolves in shepherd's clothing. Though this doesn't include a place for them; they see themselves as neither sheep nor shepherd. Noticed the indirect association in the op to the concept of religion and liked it, because even though the theorist doesn't every say it, their position is similar to the prophet when drawing parallels.
