It seems to ...Thank you for your informed comment.<br /><br />It seems to me that not every single accusation of extraordinary malice and evil concerning our rulers and politicians is worthy of belief, and that the Cryptocracy itself is behind some conspiracy theory — sowing lies so as to discredit information about actual conspiracies.<br /><br />I have seen online numerous quotations attributed to the Babylonian Talmud that are utterly fake. These are redistributed throughout the Internet by alleged Right wing and anti-Zionist persons. In one case I determined that a major figure in the White supremacist movement who claims to be an authority on the religion of Orthodox Judaism, was circulating an ersatz Talmud quote. The more that phony quotes are given currency the more rabbis can assert that all the Talmud citations which critics of that book circulate are a sham.<br /><br />Americans lack education in epistemology, and training in discerning and tracking the Cryptocracy’s deepest covert operations. Many believe and circulate anything negative written about their ideological enemies without corroborating evidence. This is the age of partisanship and tribalism; as Wm. Butler Yeats wrote, “The best lack all conviction, while the worst are filled with passionate intensity."Michael Hoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09485741729327325322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21240636.post-69530288538655864862016-12-26T20:38:11.407-08:002016-12-26T20:38:11.407-08:00I believe the reason for this social media form of...I believe the reason for this social media form of censorship is all related to the "conspiracy theory" that's been circulating and dubbed "pizzagate" ever since Wikileaks released Clinton's emails including those of her campaign manager, John Podesta, wherein amateur sleuths are claiming pedophile "code words" are used. Of course I'm aware of "conspiracy theories" involving pedophilia and public figures within American politics and Hollywood for over 3 decades now (e.g. Franklin cover Up; JonBenet Ramsay case; "An Open Secret" film, etc.) so it wouldn't surprise me if there's some merit to it. Even this video of Joe Biden, which I came across the other day, makes him appear as a creep. Idk if the comment it's alleged he made to the young girl is true or not, but it's possible he said something else entirely and it's been misconstrued as "horny" or else if true he either has a twisted sense of humour and was simply joking or is a sick pervert (see www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jtybQS0eIA).Dakotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05018768500697817148noreply@blogger.com
