Mario, My key point is the use of the word "conspiracy" immediately devalues one's argument at least in the present time. I'm not arguing whether conspiracies exist or not, I frankly am not wise enough to tackle that one. All I'm saying is that it really doesn't seem to me that people are taken seriously when they go on about conspiracies too much, which of course just could be another media involved conspiracy but let's not go there. Of course when I simplify there are bad guys who get away, but there are also bad guys who get caught. If you look at the way Watergate was exposed, the word conspiracy was hardly mentioned. Woodward and Bernstein kept their fingers pointed at the main collaboraters, foremost Nixon. Jasper is actually doing the same in his fashion with his focus on Fuhrman. In any social context, including conspiracies, you are going to have the people who lead and the people who follow as well as the people who stick their necks out and the people who operate covertly. The most vulnerable target is always the person who has their neck stuck out for one reason or other. I'm not implying that that person is necessarily the most culpable of the group or the true masterminds, but they are the easiest targets and ususally the rest of a group is easily willing to sacrifice one to perpetuate their own false sense of safety. I didn't invent this strategy, I learned it from studying the bad guys. Mario, you and I were both targets. Of course there were many people involved if not initially then later when they just hopped unto the bandwagon (the same way people like to watch executions). Let me try to put it another way, I just really feel that when you are very small and going up against a rather large force it's prudent to engage in guerilla warfare not a head on attack. That doesn't mean that you don't scope out your enemy completely, but YOU pick the time, place and circumstances of your encounters as well as who you choose to fight. We don't really have an argument here. We just have different styles... Nomi
