How can you be sure about that? How can you be sure that anything
you think you know about a conspiracy hasn't been fabricated and
leaked by the conspiracy? How do we know that you aren't and agent
of The Conspiracy, working to lull us into believing that some of
what is posted here is true/relevant? How do you know that I'm not
an agent of The Conspiracy, working to discredit all investigators?
That's my point - once one posits the existence of a sufficiently
powerful conspiracy, NOTHING can be trusted, NO information can be
accepted, NOBODY can be who they seem/claim. Paranoia Central, eh?

A good disinfo campaign is like an onion, with many layers, each
peeled away to reveal another, then another, ad infinitum, until
a 'core' of truth is reached - but there's no core there, no truth,
just air, skin after skin of onion-paper covering... nothing... so,
what's to uncover? Is there any 'there' there? How can we tell?
DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
