RE: False conspiracy: The engineered rabbit hole
The problem comes because it cannot be known until definitive proof arrives. If I was a nefarious government or organisation, I wouldn't leave these things untended and would be spreading fud on the fud until reality looked like the Cheshire cat.
You speak as if they can act with impunity and their ever evident fraud and criminality is of no consequences. All the lies and obfuscation will only work for so long.
But how long? Is it not too long already? Governments in some nations do not bother to obfuscate. They tell barefaced lies and dare you to question it.
Conspiracies are there but I think the bigger conspiracy is making those who dig for truth and find it become associated with delusional thinking and disrepute.
It is easier to destroy the person with the information than to destroy the information itself. So when conspiracy theorists bring information to light, then pretty soon, the person is vilified and his or her credibility questioned, who knows if it is not a conspiracy to silence truth?
Well who knows what the truth is these days?
Too long?
And the lies accrue.
I don't think that's a "bigger" conspiracy, in fact, that's something most critical thinkers would send a red flag and be counter-productive if someone is simply "associated" with some "pipe dream", after all it's behoves to verify and investigate and not take things at face value, if you're a critical thinker.
It depends. Destroying a person could very well mean releasing the information. Every slanderous action can backfire and turn out to be a godsend for the one who's being slandered.
There are many truths, so which truth? and of course, the intrepid thing to keep in mind is that they can rely on an Ad Hominem to make their points but they will only bury themselves even more by choosing that untenable position, to begin with as every critical thinker can spot an ad hominem from a mile away.
It doesn't matter who knows what, or what truth is. Fraud will continue to be exposed, lies and criminality will equally continue to be exposed, exposing fake conspiracy is pretty low on the list compared to the others but that too will happen because one drop of truth can outweigh an ocean of lies. - Alexander Solzhenitsyn
