Truth Getting Obliterated by the Propaganda Experts

Author Note: Our English language word ‘cynic’ comes to us from the ancient Greek ‘kynos’ dog. A “cynic” attitude is the kind of dog that has had to scrap and pillage to survive, you know the one kids threw rocks at (as opposed to the happy family dog who is taken care of and loved). Not exactly your happy camper.

Cynical philosophers such as Diogenes of Sinope (Pontus, south shore of the Black Sea today—showing Kazarians did not have first dibs on the Hellenist world of Crimea) equally were cynical rascals. Whereas one step beyond being cynical is being sarcastic via Greek ‘sarkos’ flesh, that is, not just barking but biting into the flesh—like Resident Joe Biden’s dog does to some Secret Service Agents

by Diogenes the Cynic

Declaring that many Americans, well for that matter, many people around the entire planet, are cynical is but a pale platitude. We do not just live in an Age of Anxiety and Future Shock (two book titles), but we live in an age of enormous political upheaval and political corruption, and much of the world’s many, many people know it (if for no other reason than the anxiety disorders they are experiencing).

Moreover, corruption levels out in the open today are so obvious and in-your-face they are continuously numbing us to a boiling frog impotence, as if we are shocked by the many tentacles of real, brazen, hubristic conspiracies played out panoramically on the stage of human existence.

Conspiracy Theories are:

1) interesting

2) they force you to think outside the proverbial box, with alternative explanations which don’t jibe with the ‘official’ versions (‘official versions which often enough are corrupted)

3) they allow you to play a detective trying to figure out what makes sense or not. (Many very intelligent people study CTs)

4) and, eventually, if you are honestly open-minded, brings your awareness levels to a point in which you realize that some so-called CTs are true! (And in fact, some CTs that seem the hardest to believe are also true). Frankly, you cannot know the real world if you are not acquainted with conspiracy theories, including the many red herring CTs meant to discredit real theories that are true. Any Machiavellian would concede that much.

Putting aside then the choice of junkyard dogs one might expect to find employed by a dockers Union on a New Jersey shore, wow! It seems like a long time ago, when Seth Rich, a DNC computer programmer, revealed DNC emails to Julian Assange’s Wikileaks, was murdered back in 2016.

The 2016 United States presidential election was the 58th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 8, 2016. The Republican ticket of TV Game Show Host Donald Trump and Mike Pence defeated the Democratic ticket of Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine in the antiquated electoral college. Clinton/Kaine actually won the popular vote by over 2,900,000 votes. But the US system does NOT operate by popularity so it was Trump/Pence who took office and the USA is still paying the price for this weird system.

This pivotal event helped destroy Hilary Clinton’s chances of winning the 2016 Presidential election. See “FBI Reveals It Has More Information on Deceased DNC Staffer Seth Rich” wherein it says:

“Journalist Sy Hersh said in or around 2017 that he was told by a source about an FBI report on Seth Rich. He said, according to the source, that Seth Rich’s computer showed the DNC staffer had relayed DNC documents to WikiLeaks, a pro-transparency group.”

Way back then, amidst all that corruption! We nostalgically pine back to notions like those were the turning from the Good Old Days, when there was some pretense of normalcy and societal functioning—that is, some premises about life in general that one could tentatively take for granted—such as ‘some’ Bill of Rights still honored and protected…
