And just who is this denial and conspiracy choral group? America’s power elite, and their functionaries, that’s who! Especially the CIA. It “plausibly denies” responsibility and aims to divert attention away from its evil actions.
The True Cause Scale
Consider referring to the following “true cause scale” if you haven’t yet decided who exactly and solely is doing all the ruling, ruining, and ridding:
1. Intuition. Aka “gut feelings.”
2. Circumstantial evidence. A causes B because B is always associated with the true existence of A.
3. Eyeball evidence. If I saw what caused A, I know what caused A.
4. Hypotheses and scientific theory. Rigorous and replicable production and testing of data in attempts to discover probable causes. Relatively applicable.
5. Causal inference. A complex and sophistical statistical analysis of data to tease out probable causes. Rarely applicable.
6. Empirical, scientific evidence. Produced from the findings of testing hypotheses and causal inferences. Rarely applicable.
7. Website reports from professional investigative reporters.
I rely on 1, 2, 3, and 7!
“Plausible Deniability”
A CIA Escape Hatch
According to Douglas Valentine, author of three revealing books on the CIA based on his rare access to the agency’s officials, the CIA does not launch any clandestine operation such as engineering a bloody regime change without creating and being able to show “plausible deniability” of their actions. 1 For example, the CIA underwrites massive killings to install friendly (i.e.. submissive) regimes in foreign countries, and then issues its plausible denials. The public is then spoon fed this fiction via the corporatized news media.
In Closing
Do not believe the plausible denials of America’s corpocracy!
