Re: those supposedly “crazy” conspiracy theorists, guess what?

74. When the explanations for public tragedies

are insulting to intelligent folks, it is understandable that they do their best to research it themselves. It is part of the healing process to seek explanations and hope for justice.

Weather balloons, the magic bullet theory, what you saw was not controlled demolition, the hole in the Pentagon was made by an airplane, we are going to war not with the country that hosted the terrorists that flew the planes on 911, but another one planned ahead of time--and--even after being told the war on Iraq was based on lies, no one goes to jail--and the discussion is still taboo.

People asking the wrong questions are ridiculed, intelligent analysis is framed together with the craziest speculation, marginalized out of the mainstream, online they can be found alongside stories about Loch Ness and abomidable snowman.

If people cannot be character assassinated, then they are harassed, or worse. Bad stuff happens to people who venture too far off the acceptable dialogue--and the parameters have progressively gotten narrower.

We have prided ourselves with our freedom of speech, but this is EXACTLY what is at stake here. If we are not allowed to talk openly about torture or drone killing, or who the fuck is really responsible for 911--and why hasn't there been a trial--then it is democracy and freedom that is the fairy tale, not the the other way around. See?

Lies can only create more lies, and more coverups. How much money is spent, how many people's job descriptions are to create narratives in an attempt to whitewash decades of crimes? Now we jail anyone having the gall to break open this gigantic boil, in an attempt to prevent a mountain of pus from oozing out.

It is sociopathic, and as long as we lie to ourselves, we are part of the problem.
