Some Common Criticisms Of My Work Addressed, By Caitlin Johnstone

(I advocate skepticism of all western narratives about the Syrian government because that’s what every sane person should do in a post-Iraq invasion world, and it’s what should have been done regarding US government narratives about Saddam Hussein.)

The truth is every war from WWl have been wars of choice with very questionable reasoning that lead back to profit, experimentation, ideology that no one was had the legal right to challenge.

(Also true. It’s a known fact that secret conspiracies among the powerful happen all the time, and there need to be theories about how those conspiracies happen since they don’t happen out in the open. My position is that it’s always okay to question official narratives, even if people want to question things like 9/11, JFK, Seth Rich, or even really out-there stuff like elite pedophile networks or mass shooting events, because placing limits on the things people are allowed to question leads to things like the credulous acceptance of the Iraq narrative.)

Well, if you've been around here long you know I'm good at this one also I actually take it as a compliment when someone calls me a conspiracy theorist. It tells me they see me using my mind, possibly for them, and they just don't get it. Speaking of conspiracies. You know that perception management I'm always attempting to pound into your head? That I claim leads to a delusional sense of reality being forced upon us. A program started by the CIA using the media as a tool against you. Well, attempting to degrade someone with that term "conspiracy theorist" was their attempt to quell anyone who might voice dissent against their narrative. In that moment of time the word conspiracy became a 4 letter word to fight back against anyone willing to use their mind.
