This leads, however, to a consideration of what is reliable information, even in the so-called alternative media. Epistemology for the conspiracy mind set. Discernment is and always will be the key. To which I should add that the Marshall McLuhan quip "The Medium is the Message" is as true today as the day he quipped it. We live in a scientific dictatorship. The owners know that most of the sheeple will not take action on the basis of what they know to be true. 'Truth' is doled out in the form of 'infotainment'. We return to the same electronic feeding troughs day after day for our 'fix.' The owners know this, and use it to herd public opinion in a dialectical two step. What better way to poison the well than to infiltrate a popular venue known to attract conspiracy thinkers? The propaganda mill of the PTB (aka. 'The Grand Wurlitzer') has become a very sophisticated public opinion engine. Propaganda is funded many times more than the military. Actually, it is more accurate to say that propaganda is an arm of the military, and that information warfare receives the lion's share of total military spending. For any would-be Mockingbird psyop, 95% truth and 5% outright lies is an acceptable ratio in the battle for mindspace. Oh, and did I mention that discernment is the key?
