Heaven forbid.\u00a0 Simply it is not important for the points I want to make.\u00a0 One of the most important of which is this, in short: <strong>our history is littered with and shaped from, not conspiracy theories but conspiracy facts!<\/strong>\u00a0 One of the earliest and most famous that springs to mind is that of The Trojan Horse.\u00a0\u00a0 A very cunning plot by the Greeks which broke the stalemate of the long siege of Troy and enabled them to conquer and ransack the city but by the current English definition, a conspiracy only from the point of view of the Trojans as for them it was \u201cbad and harmful\u201d but not for the Greeks.\u00a0 But who amongst us now really sees one side or the other as the \u201cevil\u201d one?\u00a0 So was it a conspiracy or not?<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_75809\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/sovietwomenkilled-300x213-nazi.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-75809\" class=\"wp-image-75809\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/sovietwomenkilled-300x213-nazi.jpg\" alt=\"A Nazi soldier gets ready to murder two Soviet Slavic women during Operation Barbarossa, summer 1941.

This incident probably took place in the Ukraine or Belarus.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>There are times in history, usually more recent history, (examine and discuss) when there seems to have clearly been a good and evil side.\u00a0 One such example I would posit is Operation Barbarossa.\u00a0 Hitler\u2019s attack on the Soviet Union!\u00a0 While this was of course a life saving event for Great Britain, even the most diehard anti communist must surely see that the invasion of Nazi forces into the USSR was unequivocally bad and harmful for the peoples of that empire as it promised no liberation at all;\u00a0 only abject slavery or total oblivion whatever their position in Soviet society. It was clearly planned or plotted in advance but according to the English language, it was only a conspiracy from the point of view of the peoples of the USSR and the Soviet government, not from the point of view of Nazi Germany and her allies as they perceived that attack as beneficial to them at the time which, of course, is why they contrived and went ahead with it.<\/p>\n<p>What about Operation Overlord- The Normandy landings or D-Day?\u00a0 This massive military undertaking was literally years in the planning or plotting.\u00a0 Was it a conspiracy?\u00a0 According to the current English definition, only for the rulers of Nazi Germany as it can be argued that it was actually beneficial even for most Germans not actively involved in the Nazi hierarchy as it lead to their liberation as well as to that of the other nations of western Europe.\u00a0 In spite of this, the German army fought like tigers on the western front to the bitter end but I digress.\u00a0 I will however be returning to the D Day landings a little later for reasons that will become clear.<\/p>\n<p>Surely therefore, it is obviously undeniable that the accusation of being a conspiracy theorist is in fact totally subjective and because of that, totally spurious from an objective, truth seeking point of view concerning any, as yet, unsolved or disputed events in human history or actuality and hence it follows that those using this accusation to discredit the ideas or theories of others have an agenda for doing so.\u00a0 This agenda maybe conscious or subconscious but it is always there.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of this article is neither to prove or disprove any famous conspiracy theories and, although I, like anybody else, have my own ideas and suspicions, I am not putting them forward here.\u00a0\u00a0 What I am putting forward here is the fact that if you hear someone publicly dismissing somebody else\u2019s ideas as conspiracy theories and especially if the \u201cdismisser\u201d is a western journalist, government spokesperson or a politician they are trying to prevent you thinking about something by ridiculing you into not delving further..\u00a0 The unconscious agenda of such accusers I mentioned earlier is the cognitive dissonance caused when presented with information that contradicts long held and emotionally charged beliefs. The conscious agenda is of course blatant lying in order to cover up the truth.<\/p>\n<p>Let us look at a concrete example.\u00a0 In Toronto Canada there is a high profile televised political discussion called the Munk Debate. Here is the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rX_HuMiP8v8\" >link <\/a>to the particular episode I\u2019m going to concentrate on.\u00a0 The motion proposed on this occasion was \u201cBe it resolved, The West should engage, not isolate Russia\u201d.\u00a0 As you can see this motion assumes that Russia is somehow wrong and the only question is how best to deal with Russia\u2019s wrongness.\u00a0 Given this obvious slant from the beginning the pro team of Vladimir Pozner and Stephen F. Cohen did a reasonable job but were unable to fend off the barrage of 100% truth inversions (all of which conforming to the strictly controlled and censored Canadian mass media slant) from the rabid, foaming at the mouth, jumping up &amp; down, Jihadi anti- Putin and Russia team of Anne Applebaum and Garry Kasparov.\u00a0 At around the 16<sup>th<\/sup> minute Applebaum starts to speak about the Kremlin\u2019s \u201cmassive\u201d investment in their multi-language media \u201cdisinformation machine\u201d including RT television.\u00a0 At around 17.12 minutes in this recording she then states that \u201cWhen Malaysian airliner MH17 was shot down by a \u201cRussian missile\u201d over Ukraine this media machine immediately came up with all sorts of crazy conspiracy theories such as planes taking off already full of dead people\u201d and explains that this is done deliberately by Russia and only by Russia\u00a0 in order to cloud people\u2019s minds until \u201cthey\u201d don\u2019t know what to think any more.\u00a0 Well!\u00a0 Sure!\u00a0 Planes taking off full of dead people does sound pretty crazy doesn\u2019t it.\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t believe my ears when I first heard that one actually but let\u2019s look more closely at what she said before coming back to that.\u00a0 How many conspiracy theories does she mention?\u00a0 One?\u00a0 Well, I count three and a half.\u00a0 The above mentioned plus two and a half\u00a0 more.\u00a0 The statement that Russian media is disinformation is also a conspiracy theory as is the position that they alone came up with all these conspiracy theories.\u00a0 Many of them are proposed and published\u00a0 by westerners.\u00a0 The accusation that MH17 was shot down by a Russian missile is also a conspiracy theory as well as propaganda because all weapons at that time on both sides were either Russian made or Soviet made.\u00a0 Who is using them, how and why is the pertinent question which the western media always seeks to obfuscate. And yes, well, okay, true. I admit that the last sentence I\u2019ve just written is another conspiracy theory at least for some of you.\u00a0 Are you beginning to see how deep the rabbit hole goes and how ridiculous the allegation of conspiracy theorist is under any circumstances?<\/p>\n<p>Fact.\u00a0 The \u201cofficial\u201d version of 9\/11 is every bit as much a conspiracy theory as all the others!<\/p>\n<p>Especially as it has proved impossible to prove over the years and seems indeed, ever easier to disprove.\u00a0 When governments and the mainstream media tell us a version of events after a terrorist act or invasion or murder etc they then accuse anybody who voices doubts or proposes another version of events of being conspiracy theorists but the governments and main stream media are themselves conspiracy theorists until, I repeat, there emerges incontrovertible proof and evidence to confirm one of the conspiracy theories as the conspiracy fact.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/the-sun-putin-missiles.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-75810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/the-sun-putin-missiles.jpg\" alt=\"the sun putin missiles\" width=\"230\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>Back to Applebaum\u2019s \u201cplanes taking off full of dead people\u201d. When I first heard that one I was literally seething at the sheer stupidity of such an insane theory being voiced almost immediately after the disaster.\u00a0 At the time I was still only just emerging from an umbilically wet, comforting \u201cwomb warmth\u201d world where our western governments were working for our best interests but were just rather incompetent at doing it.\u00a0\u00a0 In the immediate aftermath of that tragedy I reluctantly assumed that the self defense forces had mistaken it for a US backed Kiev bomber or that a guided missile had locked on to the airliner by error or evil destiny.\u00a0 After all at the time, they were being attacked by the air-force of the US installed Kiev government everyday and, in spite of having no aircraft themselves had been increasingly successful in downing their attackers.\u00a0 Then came the immediate barrage of western press headlines.\u00a0\u00a0 From Britain for example: The Sun:\u00a0 PUTIN\u2019S MISSILE\u00a0 and PUTIN\u2019S LOOTERS ROB BRIT VICTIM\u00a0 The Daily Mail:\u00a0 PUTIN\u2019S KILLED MY SON\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Daily Mirror:\u00a0 PUTIN\u2019S VICTIMS to name but a few.\u00a0\u00a0 US Secretary of State John Kerry claimed that the US had proof of exactly what kind of missile was used and where it was fired from.\u00a0 He stated, as <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2014\/jul\/20\/mh17-crash-kerry-evidence-pro-russia-separatists-responsibility\" >reported <\/a>by The Guardian, that \u201call the evidence surrounding the downed Malaysian airlines flight MH17 points towards pro-Russia separatists in eastern Ukraine being to blame.\u201d \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Well.\u00a0 All those newspaper headlines are simply conspiracy theories and as it turns out, more insane than the dead-bodies-taking-off idea.\u00a0 While Kerry\u2019s accusations could have seemed feasible at the time, the fact that not one jot of \u201call that evidence\u201d has been made public twenty two months later reduces his words to a conspiracy theory too.\u00a0 The headlines are totally insane because of the lack of motive.\u00a0 The fact is, after taking into account the ill fated crew and passengers of MH17 and their families, loved ones and friends there is simply not one human being on earth out of all seven billion of us who had less motive to get involved in shooting down a passenger plane anywhere in the world, let alone over Eastern Ukraine than Russian president Vladimir Putin and his government followed by The Donetsk Republic\u2019s armed forces who were and are fighting at home, on their own land for their very existence.\u00a0 In the shock of the immediate aftermath, European governments some of whom had been resisting US pressure to impose sanctions on Russia as punishment for having saved Crimea, at the behest of Crimeans, from invasion by ultra racist Ukrainian US backed rebels bent on their eradication one way or another, caved in and sanctions were imposed.\u00a0 Anyone placing themselves in the position of detective would see straight away, that the new Ukrainian government had massive motive for and massive profit to gain from MH17\u2019s downing if it could be pinned on Russia, followed by those governments who had plotted and helped the coup in Kiev -the US, UK, Dutch, Polish, Swedish and EU baron\u2019s to name the main players.\u00a0 That in itself is of course not proof that they were complicit but it would be one of the areas where any real investigation would concentrate a lot of effort and inquiry.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/applebaum-300x208-ukraine-switzerland.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-75811\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/applebaum-300x208-ukraine-switzerland.jpg\" alt=\"applebaum-300x208 ukraine switzerland\" width=\"500\" height=\"347\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In the Munk Debate, broadcast on the 11<sup>th<\/sup> April 2015, more than eight months after the tragedy, Applebaum is careful to avoid pointing the blame specifically at Putin personally while using language that generally insinuates instead.\u00a0 Could it just be that legal advice has something to do with that.\u00a0 Another video, which judging by its title indicates that she \u201capparently\u201d knew all the details of what happened, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wGo1atUQynQ\" >seems to have disappeared completely from the net<\/a>:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201c<strong>Anne Applebaum: MH17 attack | what happened. How it happened and who was responsible<\/strong>.\u201d\u00a0 If anybody saw it or has a transcript it would be great to know what she actually said here.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile as more and more theories as to how this tragedy occurred were coming forth , spurred on by the lack of any evidence being made public, including the content of the black boxes, some aspects of the plane full of already dead people theory were beginning to seem, well, just slightly less insane.\u00a0 On March 8<sup>th<\/sup> 2014 Malaysian airlines flight MH370 disappeared on route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.\u00a0 It\u2019s fate remains a mystery to this day.\u00a0\u00a0 Such a story is the very oxygen of conspiracy theorists, some well intentioned and some undoubtedly less so and the internet and You Tube is not lacking in explanations.\u00a0 Many posit the idea that the plane was hi-jacked to the closed US military island base of Diago Garcia and many, made and published before the downing of MH17 and all those I saw, none of which were made by Russians or the Russian media, predict that this missing plane would turn up being used in a future false flag event.\u00a0 After the downing of MH17, it didn\u2019t take long for the idea to gain circulation that it was in fact the missing MH370 and that it had been transported to Donbass and blown up on the ground maybe with the preserved bodies of the ill fated passengers of MH370 inside or that it had even taken off from Amsterdam with the bodies inside etc!\u00a0 Well dear reader, maybe you, like me find all these theories pretty far fetched if not ridiculous or maybe in very bad taste.\u00a0 The fact however is that neither you nor I can absolutely rule them out no matter how far fetched they seem because there is a small window of possibility.\u00a0 The US and her allies have the means to pull off such an operation and the motive.\u00a0 We would do well to remember the film of an explosion on the horizon that was broadcast by all the world\u2019s mainstream media, including Russian, as the explosion of MH17 hitting the ground.\u00a0 As many quickly pointed out, a plane, still over half full of fuel, blown up at high altitude by a ground to air or air to air missile would have left smoke trails in the sky as it fell.\u00a0 That seems beyond all scientific doubt but absolutely no traces in the sky appear in that video so that would seem to suggest that either it does not show the impact of MH17 but something else (more likely in my opinion) or, well yes, the plane was in fact blown up on the ground. There has also been a historical precedent for such an idea albeit on a much smaller scale physically but, nonetheless of great historical significance.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Operation_Mincemeat\" >Operation Mincemeat<\/a> which was made famous as a book and a film called <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0049471\/\" >The Man Who Never Was<\/a>.\u00a0 This was a plan executed in April 1943 to fool the Germans into thinking that the allied invasion of Sicily would in fact happen in Greece.\u00a0 A dead body was procured, dressed up in a British officer\u2019s uniform, given a false identity and a briefcase chained to his wrist containing \u201ctop secret\u201d documents about the allied invasion of Greece not Sicily.\u00a0 The dead body was made to look like the victim of a plane crash of the coast of nominally neutral but in fact pro German Spain.\u00a0 In reality however his body was delivered to the area by a submarine.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The plan worked so well that when the actual allied invasion of Sicily began the German\u2019s thought it was just a diversion and didn\u2019t respond having transferred the majority of their forces to Greece.\u00a0 When, the following year, just after the D Day landings, the Nazis found genuine top secret plans in an abandoned landing craft, they refused to believe them being sure it was another such ruse as operation Mincemeat.\u00a0 Here\u2019s a link (now promise not to laugh) to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-1243379\/The-dead-tramp-won-war-A-new-book-reveals-astonishing-story-Man-Who-Never-Was.html\" >a Daily Mail article<\/a> on the whole subject.\u00a0 It does just suggest that the idea of already dead bodies in planes might have a certain feasibility after all which is something Anne Applebaum, among many others, doesn\u2019t want you to think about.<\/p>\n<p>I repeat that I am not supporting or debunking any conspiracy theories here.\u00a0 I cannot prove, or disprove just as you cannot prove or disprove any of the above mentioned theories or, for example, that Aliens exist or that they don\u2019t exist therefore we cannot dismiss or confirm one hundred percent those theories involving aliens either.\u00a0 It really is that simple.<\/p>\n<p>As for the conscious or unconscious agendas I talked about earlier, I would, in spite of his virulence, put Garry Kasparov in the unconscious camp.\u00a0 He so often loses control of his emotions and his discourse which is clearly out of all reality.\u00a0 I wonder if he has ever asked himself why he thinks and feels that which he does, I very much doubt it.\u00a0 Berezovsky was someone with a very similar mind set in my opinion.\u00a0 Anne Applebaum on the other hand seems to be squarely in the conscious camp.\u00a0 In other words, she is deliberately lying in order to, not distort the truth but totally reverse it in true Orwellian style.\u00a0 I don\u2019t claim to know exactly what her motive is.\u00a0 Due to the fact that <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rados%C5%82aw_Sikorski\" >her husband was the Polish foreign secretary<\/a> (he was one of the EU politicians who brokered and signed the ill fated deal with the Yanukovych government in Kiev that didn\u2019t even last twenty four hours), her finances had to be made public and, as many pointed out, she benefited from a huge spike in earnings as soon as the Ukrainian crisis began in 2013 followed by an ongoing scandal concerning the disclosure of their earnings in subsequent years but I find it hard to believe somehow that her motive is solely financial.\u00a0 Maybe simply anti-Russian racism and\/or a commitment, ideological and self interested, to financial world takeover of the US, western debt based fractional reserve banking system.\u00a0 Whatever the reason is, it has to be admitted that she is a very effective propagandist who\u2019s discourse remains coherent, controlled, pointed but utterly premeditated and false.\u00a0 In fact her tirade in the Munk Debate against Russia since Putin became president is in reality one of the most concise and accurate descriptions of today\u2019s USA and also post putsch Ukraine that I\u2019ve ever heard.\u00a0 Her total insistence that the western media is truthful and objective is also a 100% truth inversion.\u00a0\u00a0 Russian media has become infinitely more truthful and objective than its western counterpart which has descended into out and out double speak.\u00a0\u00a0 I have never seen or heard her lose her temper or be overtaken by emotions of any kind.\u00a0 It must be said however that I\u2019ve never seen her in debate against someone who actually takes her apart as it would be eminently possible to do.\u00a0 That, of course, is anything but coincidence.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cTruth is by nature self-evident.\u00a0 <\/em><br \/>\n<em>As soon as you remove the cobwebs<\/em><br \/>\n<em>of ignorance that surround it, <\/em><br \/>\n<em>it shines clear\u201d\u00a0 \u2013 <strong>Mahatma Gandhi.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>As many of us have already noticed it is not a comfortable experience when our emotionally charged, often, long held beliefs are challenged by adverse, contradictory information which we are unable to ignore.\u00a0 It takes the kind of courage not given to all to accept and analyse the cognitive dissonance that comes in such situations and to ask why it is happening and many people, including plenty that I know personally, simply refuse to believe anything that contradicts the, invariably \u201ccozy\u201d world\u00a0 which they have allowed to be constructed for themselves.\u00a0 Such people often become defensive and sometimes down right aggressive when pressed.\u00a0 This is because they can\u2019t ignore the information, only smother it or block it from their conscious mind.\u00a0 The reason that some information is impossible to ignore is a very important phenomenon as basically this means that it is fundamental truth or at the very least the grain of truth that can lead us out of the pit of lies.\u00a0\u00a0 If, for example, somebody tells you or I that the Earth is flat, we are not going to feel any surge of panic or cognitive dissonance of any kind for obvious reasons but try telling an American who comes from a staunch, traditionally Democrat family and has a deeply entrenched \u2013 indoctrinated belief that the Democrats are \u201cthe good guys\u201d, the ones who care about other people and the poor at home and abroad and are anti-war etc, that, in fact, Obama and Clinton are among the most dangerous warmongers in history, responsible for illegal invasions and that they are just puppets of the military, industrial complex, Wall Street and \u201csome people\u201d called the Illuminati and sparks will certainly fly.\u00a0\u00a0 There is an excellent video on-line called \u201cConfronting Cognitive Dissonance \u2013 The Eyeopener\u201d:<\/p>\n<p>httpv:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=do6o57N_SVA<\/p>\n<p>At 5.11 an American lady begins to describe her physical reaction when she understood that she was receiving very uncomfortable information about 9-11 which, much as she wanted to, she just could not ignore.\u00a0 Her reaction is courageous and very moving and anyone who dismisses her as a conspiracy theorist can only be mal-intentioned or seized by cognitive dissonance themselves.\u00a0 It is our intuition or as some like to say \u201cour gut\u201d; in truth, our connection to universal intelligence, that tells us whether such information is real or not.\u00a0 This is the same phenomenon as the moment of inspiration that artists and scientists have when a new scientific understanding or invention, poem, novel, song, symphony is born.\u00a0 First the moment of inspiration and insight; then starts the hard work of creation, building, experiment, investigation, trial and error and bringing forth.\u00a0 Every single human being is connected to universal intelligence, not just an elite few, but intuition, just like any other human faculty, becomes stronger the more we use it.\u00a0 The vital fact here is that we all know the truth when we here or see it whether we like it or not.\u00a0 Again, \u201cTruth is by nature self-evident.\u00a0 As soon as you remove the cobwebs of ignorance that surround it, it shines clear\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>We live in a time of massive change where the world seems to have been turned upside down at such lightning speed that many of us feel that we can\u2019t keep up which is of course disturbing.\u00a0 I use words like \u201cseems\u201d and \u201cfeels\u201d because this is an illusion.\u00a0 In fact this situation has been growing for a long time.\u00a0 Centuries in fact and some would say millennia.\u00a0 This particular moment in history started, was started (examine &amp; discuss) at the beginning of the 1990s.\u00a0 I would liken it to a wave that as it comes in slowly to shore, grows and swells inexorably until it finally crashes leaving that which was on the top, on the bottom.\u00a0 That which seemed democratic and free, undemocratic and tyrannical, that which seemed to be built on solid foundations, built on quicksand, that which seemed good, evil and vice versa.\u00a0 Above all, there are no ideologies left although for those with the aforementioned long held emotional attachment to this or that ideology = products of Man\u2019s ego, this is pretty hard to accept.\u00a0 What\u2019s left on the shore as the wave recedes is simply right or wrong, good or evil, truth or falsehood.\u00a0\u00a0 In fact a world of fundamental polar opposites.\u00a0 Many.\u00a0 Especially in the western world lulled by the media bubble of unreality are seemingly, on the surface, unaware of these massive shifts.\u00a0\u00a0 My own awakening only came with the Ukrainian crisis as I have already documented in \u201c<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.popularresistance.org\/nato-through-the-looking-glass-a-personal-journey\/\" >NATO Through the Looking Glass<\/a>\u201d.\u00a0 I now live in a totally different world and it is much more frightening than the one I was living in up to three years ago but I\u2019m getting used to it and in no way want to return to unconsciousness.\u00a0 I now question everything and am exercising my intuition and faith, in the true sense of the word, every day.\u00a0 What this reveals is infinitely more terrifying than the cozy \u201cwomb warmth\u201d I used to live in but the payback is that things line up and actually make sense and I feel much healthier for it.\u00a0 The many layered onion skins that were enveloping my perception are falling away one after another and I\u2019m very aware that this process is very far from over but the idea of crawling back into my former mind set is impossible for me.\u00a0 It would be akin to committing suicide.\u00a0 I\u2019m also very aware that, thank God, I am very far from being the only one undergoing this process.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, like so many others during these times, I\u2019ve got used to being called a conspiracy theorist which is probably why I was moved to write this article. I am proud to be in the camp\u00a0 inhabited and moved by people such as the lady in the \u201cConfronting Cognitive Dissonance\u201d video who states that she felt physically sick when she understood that her government, which she had more or less trusted up until that moment might have been behind 9-11. Such people are searching for truth and discovering themselves.\u00a0 The other kind of conspiracy theorists are those who invent or propagate conspiracy theories for money and power and, or because they want to convince us that their particular prejudice is the one and only true prejudice whoever it be directed against.\u00a0 <em>\u201cIt\u2019s all the fault of the people I\u2019ve learned to hate and you must agree with me.\u201d <\/em>\u00a0Perennially popular targets remain: The blacks, the Jews, Monarchs, business people, immigrants and Russians to name but a few and these conspiracy theorists are of course the 100% polar opposite of the former.\u00a0 One looking for the truth and the other, deliberately trying to destroy it. The American Lady reluctantly facing up to her realization that the official government conspiracy theory about 9-11 doesn\u2019t hold water and the fear of looking into what seems to be at first glance, the darkness of the abyss or:\u00a0\u00a0 Anne Applebaum\u2019s constantly and professionally reiterated conspiracy theories about Putin being a tyrannical dictator and mafiosi obsessed with world domination who has to be stopped by the \u201cfree, democratic\u201d West before he, followed by his \u201cbrainwashed\u201d millions in Russia will march in \u201cgood old\u201d WWII style to enslave us all.\u00a0 I leave you to contemplate these two examples.\u00a0 These two absolute, polar opposites.\u00a0 The seeker for truth and the bald faced liar for gain!<\/p>\n<p>________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><em>Marcus Godwyn is the British musician and amateur essayist who has been around Russians for the last 30 years.
