--- Begin Message ----Caveat Lector- One propaganda technique is to create an exaggeration of real-life events so as to discredit valid observations along the same line, but that lack the extremism. Some times, vast left/right-wing conspiracy theories are constructed for much the same reason - to throw people off track with disinformation.For example, someone testing exotic aircraft designs might plant a few media stories about flying saucers and little green men. Then they would begin to label anyone reporting something odd flying about as the current leading candidate for village idiot. Likewise, someone might try to cover up faulty aircraft design - perhaps one in which electrical wires ran into fuel tanks - by accusing the military of a stray missile shoot down of an aircraft with such problems. Or, trying to divert attention from a stray missile, government investigators might issue an alert that required all similar aircraft to have their fuel tanks modified to prevent another *fuel tank* explosion. By the same token, someone trying to cover up shoddy building design - such as having too much distance between vertical braces on horizontal floor spans in a collapsed high rise building struck by an aircraft - by orchestrating a conspiracy to blame an already distrusted government of flying aircraft into the building. Then, a government might recruit and fund a few crazies to fly a few aircraft into buildings in order to justify the invasion of other countries containing highly desirable natural resources. Not that anyone would actually do the things suggested above. It is just that such scenarios are possible in theory and are the cause of speculation. www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
