Those people obviously never read Mises.

They characterization is nothing but slander.

Reminds me, I met two Larouche followers in Berlin about two years ago who were handing out pamphlets. Not knowing what exactly they were promoting, I walked up and recommended looking into Ron Paul. They promised to research him.

I guess I'm part of the Austrian conspiracy to confuse truth seekers now.

Fortunately the most crackpot conspiracy theorists mention 'Austrians' very rarely because in contrary to chicagoans such as Friedman, 'austrians' are very unaffiliated with the power structure.

One other rare case when Mises and Hayek have been tried to be linked to the general "conspiracy theory" is a book 'The World Order' written by a legendary anti-FED antisemite Eustace Mullins. One pro-Ron Paul monetary crank actually linked to this book and claimed that it shows how horrible the 'austrians' are. But just read these parts and you'll recognize how horrible the alleged 'research' about the Austrian school in this book actually is.

"Milton Friedman became the protege of Arthur Burns at Rutgers and Columbia. Their economic principles stemmed from the "Viennese School" founded by Karl Menger and Eugen von Bauwerk... Von Mises’ pupils, Arthur Burns and Milton Friedman...

[Friedman] and his consort, Murray Rothbard, dominate a closely interlocked network of “hard money” "conservative" groups... Milton Friedman and his protege Murray Rothbard...

The National Review is considered the most influential CIA publication. It consistently puffs Jean Kirkpatrick, Milton Friedman, and other cognoscenti of the intelligence community and the Viennese School of Economics."

After these easily noticeable errors only one thought can come into your mind: "does this Eustace Mullins no one thing about the subject he is writing about?"

To Mullins' defence I might add that his book on the Federal Reserve contains at least  some valuable original research.
