EXPANSION OF COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY PAUL CRAIG
ROBERTS IN ZEROHEDGE
We know that where there are very high stakes for the United
States government - as in covert international affairs or in matters with
gigantic amounts of money at risk - there will be deception and dirty dealing
of every imaginable kind.
That is just a given.
You do not have to subscribe to theories of any kind to know
that a government such as America's lies to its people regularly. It has been
caught doing so many times.
The labelling of people who know they are being lied to is a
kind of dirty little game. The label is intended to be an unanswerable charge,
negating all credibility.
Most people do recognize and respond well to honest
explanations of events, but we have a great many instances where they are not
given the chance.
The term, conspiracy theory, has long been rumored to have
been coined by some of CIA agit-prop guy working out of a backroom at Langley
and hoping for a big promotion by inventing a good way to ridicule critics of
the Kennedy Assassination story.
I think that is a reasonable assumption.
By the way, the CIA has kept the sense of contempt and
ridicule alive in the term by itself seeing that some outrageous books and
articles are published on subjects like the Kennedy assassination, complete
with obviously-wrong facts and sometimes even poor spelling.
After all, it has the best publishing-contact list in
existence, and its deep pockets can make even the stupidest publishing venture
profitable.
The CIA, at one and the same time, is responsible for some
"serious" books supporting the official version and for some of the
most laughable attacks.
That is just the way the game is played.
It is no different to what the CIA has done in many countries
where it was trying to destroy a government.
That is something they have done so many times you have to wonder why
anyone would doubt their bad intentions on any subject they touch.
They are inherently dishonest people because the main
purpose of their organization is dishonest in nature. You don’t hire boy scouts
for dirty work.
