Conspiracy Theory

Click here to access article by Paul Craig Roberts from Foreign Policy Journal. 

This author has published many articles on the internet, but I think this is the most outstanding. While using Orwellian concepts to frame contemporary events, he makes almost laughable the ruling political operatives attempts to hide and/or discredit any scientific evidence that conflicts with the messages put out by the "Ministry of Propaganda". (Actually, Orwell used the term "Ministry of Truth".)

Part of his article provides a good illustration of how the ruling class operatives control the media and intimidate journalists to follow the party line :
I myself had experience with a Huffington Post reporter who was keen to interview a Reagan presidential appointee who was in disagreement with the Republican wars in the Middle East.  After he published the interview that I provided at his request, he was terrified to learn that I had reported findings of 9/11 investigators.

To protect his career, he quickly inserted on the online interview that my views on the Iraq and Afghanistan invasions could be dismissed as I had reported unacceptable findings about 9/11
.
Another benefit to political operatives provided by the fact that most people are in debt is that they are so effectively able to terrorize people with the threat of loss of income.
