It's not a conspiracy theory that he wanted to create a gold backed Pan-African currency. He openly promoted it. It's not a conspiracy theory that this would have very possibly undermined the petrodollar and all Western currencies. It's not a conspiracy theory that the United States and its allies have supported coups, rebellions, and the like to maintain their power in the past.

The people who believe this think we have constant secret inflation in the US, except they also think we don't have inflation because the "petrodollar" forces everyone else to absorb USD, except they also don't explain why other countries like Japan printing JPY doesn't cause inflation.

I don't think a mere thing like what currency you use stops the FBI from assuming everything in the world is their jurisdiction.
