I must say that your response has made me a little more content with this
discussion forum as a whole. The honest, sincere manner of your reply
is refreshing in CTRL, where it seems the rule is to be pretentious as to
one's supposed knowledge of the current and historical (which many
have obviously stretched to their limits and beyond) and to adopt some
sort of hard-ass "official investigator of all conspiracies" persona. They
take themselves (and what they plagiarize--I mean "write") all too
seriously. I am glad to see your caring, human side. It's what makes us
outraged by evils such as conspiracy, cruelty, and prejudice. Without
it, we are no more than shovellers of someone else's shit : we just move
the "information" they produce from one place to another for them and
lose all context and human perspective as to why the things they do are
crimes against free people with basic human rights.
I hope I haven't tarnished your ex-military hard-ass image by painting
you as a sensitive human being ! Feel free to bless me out in a reply.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
