A healthy dose of skepticism is good, but when taken to the extreme I believe
it's counterproductive. Also, I think a lot of this speculation takes on a
very simplistic view of the world. Things are a lot more messy and chaotic
than that, in my opinion.
Regarding Wikileaks, I cannot possibly see how this saga can have played in
the favor of the USG. Quite on the contrary, from what I see. Wikileaks, and
now Snowden have weakened the strategical dominance of Empire. It should be
quite obvious based exclusively on how the USG has behaved in relation to
them. Panicked stupid authoritarianism; the result of weakening hegemonic
dominance. In my opinion.
On the bright side, if you are right Fernando, and all of these things are
really conspiracies, it seems we don't need to do much to fight the struggle;
just let them keep on doing the good work of self-implosion. I don't think so
though, and I think that credit should be given where credit is deserved. I
do respect Wikileaks.
I prefer to look at world events in terms of power dynamics and a lot of what
seem to be conspiracies are rather alignments of interests and misalignment
of interests within powerful players and not necessarily plots executed to
precision from the meeting rooms of secret societies.
Powerful people and organizations surely must try to conspire, but there are
too many power struggles and too many variables to look at it from a
simplistic puppet/puppeteer perspective.
Also, believing everything is the result of conspiracies gives too much
credit to the conspirators. The fact that people conspire does not translate
to the fact that they are successful in their conspiracies.
Particularly, reaching conclusions based on logos or secret symbols is a bit
much, in my opinion, especially in the 21st century. As someone else has
already mentioned, why go through the trouble of making Freedom Box to trick
people? And if so, why use logos that would reveal the true wicked
intentions? It is a bit like thinking that spies should look like spies. The
whole point of it would seem to fall apart if that were the case. Don't you
think? It seems a bit out there to think a group of people are smart and
capable enough to control the world, and then careless enough to leave us
bread crumbs to follow their trail.
