  1. thanks for the article, Mark. another person trying to distinguish themselves amongst the mess of conspiracy culture:

    We recognize there is a kind of conspiracy fever in America, and that much of the speculation is groundless. But the authorities have brought this on with decades of deception, unnecessary secrecy, endless cover-ups and real crimes against the public interest. No wonder we can’t distinguish between plots on every corner and a skeptical attitude toward disturbing behavior from authority.

    and this:

    It take a very broad group of people who have little in common, and condemns them all, with the message that anyone who asks questions about official narratives should be considered delusional, albeit not necessarily clinically insane. The truth is, some people have been driven a bit, or more than a bit, crazy by repeated exposure to deeply disturbing real events (assassinations, mass murder, false-flag war-mongering), so that they begin to see a plot and a lie behind everything. This unfortunate strain of OTSD (On-going Traumatic Stress Disorder) is abetted by a substantial industry among radio, website and publishing personalities, who profit off the gullibility of their audiences by selling them bomb shelters and home canning equipment and other products of mass delusion.

    But there is another group, to which we proudly belong: people who live in the real world and are not blind to nuance, people who don’t buy what the kook machines have to sell, but also recognize that the establishment media (compromised by, among other things, its financial dependency on the corporate elites) can’t be trusted to get to the real bottom of things.

    1. Are you doing the lumping thing now, because I see crimes that are committed with impunity, that I must also worry about my safety and believe in spooky stuff? I’m only interested in crimes, the National Security State, heightened tension, management of public opinion and neverending wars.

      Do you believe in terrorist cells, Muslims plotting againt us, hijacked airliners, a guy in a cave, Chechens blowing up people for no reason, guys who lose their legs and only grimace …?

      Not me you that should concern you. I’m not the one drinking the Kool Aid. In the meantime, there’ll be another event soon, hopefully with fake victims too. They seem to happen at 3-4 month intervals, and probably none in August as it’s a bad time to introduce a new product.

      BTW, a bunch of a prior amputees in Boston got prosthetics. That’s a good thing.
