-Caveat Lector-
the article was rather low brow and condescending- written by someone who
does not know much about conspiracy research and who is sceptical of it AND
seems to have a belief system to protect in the writing of it.
the mind control comment is spurious- people look at PATTERNS of mass
killings (and other incidental indicators) and look at the evidence
surrounding them and then suggest that there may be an ALTERNATIVE reason
for a madman's actions other than what the media are happy for you to
believe. that is all.

conspiracy about everything out there, no matter how ludicrous. A man kills
10 people and immediately he is a product of mind-control. If every single
crime committed on the face of the earth can be attributed to conspiracy
theory, how can it ever be taken seriously? Some make it a joke by
irrational suspicions. Many of these, wearing their tin-foil hats, are
uneducated. That was the point of labelling people in that article. Not that
bus-drivers and clerks can't see what's going on, but that these types of
uneducated people tend to unfairly blame natural or terrible events on a
conspiracy.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions 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, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
