The Big Con

Quote of the Day:
"They know, they just know where to grow, how to dupe you, and how
to camouflage themselves among the perfectly respectable plants, they
just know, and therefore, I've concluded weeds must have brains."
~ Dianne Benson ~

Weeds in a garden are not, in and of themselves, the antithesis of cultivated plants. There are many perfectly wonderful plants which have been given the label of 'weed' merely because they are growing in the wrong place. It doesn't matter if the offending vegetation is a medicinal or aromatic herb or even the loveliest wildflower. The misplaced greenery is automatically pulled out and discarded. Weeds, otherwise known as disturbers of a gardener's peace of mind, have no place among a cultivated plot.

Wouldn't it be great if Lies or Disinformation were as easy to spot as a weed in the garden? While researching one would only have to 'See' the offending words and immediate recognition would appear. "Ha! There's another one!" And pull the darn thing out.

Unfortunately, most information, especially the type which revolves around emotionally charged subjects such as politics, religion or culture, can be easily manipulated and controlled by agendas. Sometimes, the DisInfo or CoIntelPro is so subtle, an investigator must not only research what *Has* been reported but what is missing and has *Not* been reported.

The 9-11 attack is an area where emotions and tempers run in high gear. Rational and open conversation is often not possible, for this event has divided the US into 'believers' and 'conspiracy theorists.' That might be a nice way of saying "If you don't believe the offical version then you must be supporting the terrorists." This is not true at all. Many lives were lost and many lives are being lost. I think 9-11 should be investigated beyond the 'Official' version. There remain too many inconsistencies which have never been properly addressed.

An article which has looked at 9-11 and the smokey screen of DisInfo erected by some investigators brings to light a few points which I think are well worth reading.
"Exposing the Big Con – Lies and Disinformation At The End Of Civilisation As We Know It" not only reports on the twisting of facts but describes the way ideas can be used to subvert and discredit serious research.

I especially appreciated the description of how CoIntelPro works to corrupt in order to cause dissension and demoralize ordinary searchers. Out of all the articles I have read describing the propagation of lies, this one has become my favorites.

"Now all of this gives the impression that Hopsicker and Ruppert are on opposing sides and one of them is telling the truth and the other is selling the lie. But as I have already mentioned, nothing is ever that simple in the world of CoIntelPro. You see, even with his "peak oil" slant, Ruppert and his message ran the risk of being just one more voice in the melee of 9-11 investigators and investigations currently entrenched on the internet."

"In the world of CoIntelPro, there are many ways to draw attention to the lie that you have to sell, and each particular method is tailored to be most effective in deceiving a specific audience. In the case of the conspiratorially-aware members of the alternative news communities on the net, one way to draw attention to disinformation is to have someone attack it AS disinformation."

"The benefit of this tactic is that a very convincing argument can be made that the lie is in fact a lie, but care must be taken to leave the issue unresolved and ambiguous. Once the attack has been launched, it is then time to proclaim loudly that the lie is being attacked because it is the truth, which goes down well with conspiracy theorists. This type of CoIntelPro operation presents a more or less win-win scenario for CoIntelPro. In the best-case scenario, that section of public opinion that recognises that our leaders lie to us all of the time will tend to believe that the person being attacked is most likely to be telling the truth. If this is not successful, then, at the very least, much-needed attention is drawn to the lie and invariably infighting in the ranks of genuine truth seekers will have been fomented."

"Not bad for a day's work."

In an effort to understand the present situation, the search for Truth requires looking back into history and tracking the cycles forward into a possible future. By looking at the 'Big Picture' including cyclic catastrophies, the article provides another view of why the world is being plunged into the depths of madness, murder and war.
