You know, I have been studying this type of stuff for years and years now (and I still have no answers BTW), I remember back in the early days of the internets there was a lot of good, honest and critical discussion of things like this, nobody really had an agenda it was just open and honest discussion of the world and what is going on around us, much like we see on CLK's blog and others, like Jeff's work. Then slowly you could see a shift take place, the infiltration of these small groups pocketed throughout the internets, shills started showing up and introducing these crazy and whacked out ideas about how Jews/Zionists/Israel is to blame for all the world's problems, the commies, the liberals (interestingly they rarely blame the "fascists", I wonder why?!), the Freemasons, the Illuminati, the reptiles, Nibiru, "Aussie Bloke", bohemian grove et al. This all came to a head with 9-11, Alex Jones, Rense, Makow (just to name a few) and the "truth" movement and all their whacked out ideas about the planes being holographs etc (though I admittedly do not believe the official narrative) and all of the good honest open discussion like we see today with CLK and others, slowly took a back seat to this crazy stuff and then you started to see feature films by Disney, Dan Brown etc, about this stuff and it became sort of cool and envogue to be "conspiracy theorist" and a whole cottage industry was built around it, books, DVDs etc, and it continued to get more and more whacked out by the day to the point now it is really hard to find good honest discussion about the world and what is going on around us, anymore. If you go back and really look you can see it all happening, I have to assume this was all part of a Cointelpro psy op to redirect the attention of those who tend to see patterns, like CLK talks about, and get them to focus more on the outrageous and preposterous. And, you know, we can see that it worked and worked quite well, now anyone who talks about these things is pretty much made out to be a complete kook who should be dismissed out of hand and made fun of "oh, youre one of those huh?"
Got to hand it to them, they really did a good job getting everyone to focus on the crazy and forget about the truth.
I know it has to be a thankless task that you have undertaken CLK, but I hope you can find it within yourself to keep plugging along and asking the tough questions, if for no reason than for posterity, perhaps in the future someone will recognize it all for what it is and can work to make the world a better place because that should be the point of it all, I dont just read this stuff for fun and games, although it has taken the life of a hobby over the years, I truly would like to find a way to bring an end to this madness and make the world better and safer for our kids and grandkids etc.
