Neither true or false, but conversely BOTH true and false...a scenario
deliberately concocted to be FED to the public, if it is to be
successful, MUST contain at least SOME elements of truth...but only those
elements which can be 'skewed' to fit the scenario that those who are
doing the orchestrating choose to present...
So the 'truths' we are presented with are half-truths, and presented in
such a way as to lead the public to a FALSE conclusion....
Easy example, and ironically appropriate to this thread, is our
collective memory of 3 year old John-John 'saluting his father' as
Kennedy Sr's coffin went by...
I mean, we all saw the coffin going by...the young widow with her two
little ones in tow standing on the porch as it went by...and we saw the
camera focus on 'John-John' saluting...of COURSE he was saluting his
father, wasn't he?
And yet, on the 30th anniversary of the assassination, 'John-John'
revealed that in fact he was too young at the time to fully comprehend
that his father was dead, and only had a vague idea what the coffin on
the bier meant...
But his father had strictly trained him to salute to any person in a
uniform...everyone thought it was cute, seeing this toddler saluting to
all the military personnel surrounding them...
And so when John-John saw all the soldiers lined up to march with the
coffin, he did what he remembered he was taught to do, AND SALUTED THE
SOLDIERS, NOT HIS FATHER....
Kennedy Jr., in the 1993 interview, admitted that he was embarrassed by
the constant reference to him saluting his father, and wanted to set the
record straight, but admitted he felt it was going to be a lost cause, as
the IDEA of him saluting his father had already entered the public's
conscious...and indeed, every single report following his disappearance
and presumed death included the 'we all remember him saluting his father'
reference....
Because that is how we 'saw' it on TV...it LOOKED like he was saluting
his father, when in fact all we saw was a 3 year old boy saluting...we
never actually SAW what he was saluting, just PRESUMED it was his
father....
So, we had the TRUTH of John-John saluting, but presented as a half-truth
when we were told he was saluting his father, with the end result being
that what we were told was FALSE...
The most successful disinformation ALWAYS contains some element of truth,
and so contains useful information...one just has to be alert to how such
information is being skewed for public consumption, so that the public
reaches the conclusion those who are disseminating the disinformation
wishes them to reach, which is in actually a FALSE conclusion, ....
