WHEN the now-venerable Rolling Stone magazine apologizes to the conspiracy theorists of the world for not having taken them seriously in the past, you know it’s time for all of us to be a little more skeptical about what we’re told by governments, politicians, bankers and even the media. What turned Rolling Stone was a series of related corruption stories involving the financial sector, suggesting the world’s largest banks may be fixing the prices of almost everything. “The world is a rigged game,” it wrote.
The magazine is one of a growing number of relatively small, independent media that are questioning who and what really controls this world. Their voices would have been extinguished in the past, but thanks to the Internet and possibly also a general disillusionment with mainstream media, their refusal to accept what the ‘establishment’ tells us to believe is winning support on a grand scale – and in the process making some people feel extremely uncomfortable.
For instance, the US government and its police enforcers can’t be too happy at the way these alternative news sources are picking holes in their handling and portrayal of the recent tragic bombing in Boston. And it’s down to the same sources that doubts about the official explanation of 9/11 continue to be raised, along with NATO’s justification for the Iraq war and the occupation of Afghanistan, not to mention the secret objectives of organizations like the Bilderberg Group and even the Federal Reserve of America.
The days when conspiracy theorists were dismissed as cranks are over. Ask the editors at Rolling Stone.
