Well yes, that much is pretty obvious. But do you think he's trolling himself or us more?
What I mean to ask this: Sometimes, looking up through the layers of a large organization, ordinary human greed and stupidity can look a whole lot like conspiracy. I don't remember offhand who said that or where I got it. But the question is bugging me just lately.
What do ya'll think? Is who drinking the kool aid or is he just serving it?
What say you, Who?
human greed and stupidity can look a whole lot like conspiracy.
Wow that brings back memories…you must read a lot and combining a couple of events…
When John Marks released his book on the Manchurian candidate in the 70’s I started reading about this stuff and came across the MKULTRA (sp?) experiments… (many people here probably never heard of this )…we lived thru the times of our leaders telling us there is no evidence to support global warming , the true events of the American hostages in Iran etc.. There was one guy who pushed thru all the crap and had something to write about. A guy named Danny Casalaro a journalist who was writing a book on these (and other)conspiracy theories and was killed (ruled a suicide) and his manuscripts disappeared (1990 I believe)….our leaders responded that his conspiracy theory was nothing but a “dangerous state of mind” and that Danny died of natural causes.
…were Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold to be viewed as killers or victims of a screwed up culture, did they subject themselves to a self-inflicted emotional boot camp so they could mount their suicide attack on Columbine Highschool or where they taking a paranoid shortcut to a false conclusion? Could these kids be a merely a byproduct of
greed and stupidity in our society?
Most of what we see our leaders do is
the result of (or reaction to) human greed and stupidity, in my opinion…. But in a democratic society we have election years (clean-up), and if you want to get re-elected you need to convince the majority of the population that the chain of events (of what ever is screwed up at the time)leads back to someone other than yourselves or your political party. This is
conspiracy and people eat it up because it fits so nicely like it did in Iraq, North Korea, Iran and Russia before them.
Sorry, your quote set me off thinking and that is where I remember it coming from….anyway, Back to your original question, I don’t think I am drinking the Kool-Aid or serving it. I don’t understand why everyone views me as a troll, because my views are not in line with theirs? I limit myself to a couple of forums, give my opinions but I don’t view this as derailing the conversation, not anymore than anyone else…if I am being attacked for my views I will respond. In response to complaints and requests I have taken attacks from RB off line so it doesn’t chew up a lot of pages and disrupt the conversation. I haven’t had conversation with TSW or the PV thread until he came over from Facilities…forum to troll me. I am not complaining or asking it to stop, I just returned his message. I am sorry I am viewed as such a hostile person, but much of this is reaction to a sharp stick.
