The CIA is behind it all! (Humor)

Friday, August 5, 2005 20:59

After following this link off Rigorous Intuition, I read through it, scratched my head, and then burst out laughing. I can't even tell whether it's meant as a satire or not. Basically, this conspiracy theory posits that pretty much every alternative news source you've ever heard of -- everything from riverbend's blog, to commondreams.org, to Democracy Now, to Rigorous Intuition itself -- are being orchestrated by the CIA to misdirect and mislead people away from the true conspiracy behind 9/11.

Though there is validity to the idea that the spooks would employ disinformation agents masking as truth-seekers to muddy the waters -- I might even buy the idea that a few of the "alternative media outlets" are government ploys -- implicating every alternative organization reeks of paranoia cranked into maximum overdrive. Add to that a complete lack of evidence to substantiate any of it, and... well, I have to wonder if the guy who wrote the piece is himself working for the CIA as a disinfo agent. lol.
