don't allow ourselves to be pulled down to that level, but instead, first consider the possibility that Winston's Myth might truly be acting through the best intentions, & genuine in his desire to present the facts as he sees them."
I think my follow-up was considerate of the fact that Winston's Myth has genuine intentions. However, the things I said about the effects of his verbiage on the site still stands. It is not a personal judgement of the site or the intent of its founder, but rather of the reactionary effects that it could ultimately have. It plays to a dream people have of overthrowing authority without any real understanding of conspiracy.
Although he may be acting through his best intentions, intention is something different from the effects of intent. Even if someone has the highest intent, they may often do or say things which can have a radicalizing effect that was not necessarily intended or desired. I'm all for am abstract interpretations of revolution and radical thought, but these terms have become associated with terror and violence in this century, and so when people see or think about revolution, they might not be thinking about spreading info on the Internet. They might be thinking about skipping the revelation and going straight to revolution, so to speak. Taking responsibility doesn't just involve your intent it also the effects of your intent, whether intended or not.

Chris - I chose those four particular "conspiracies" because they are things that the sleepy have probably never even considered. The site is NOT about telling people what they already know (for the most part anyway) but more about getting people who had absolutely no idea about any of this to listen and pay attention..."
Well getting their attention, which is perhaps the intent of using a name like "start the revolution", is one thing, but immediately transitioning from listing conspiracies into a reactive solution is, IMO, disinforming people. Choosing what people should know before immediately suggesting a broad solution of civil disobedience is not responsible and doesn't really help anyone. First of all it makes people associate conspiracies with a purely governmental perspective, leaving out secret societies, globalists and our own participation in consensual despotism. the overt manifestations of fascism governments are very real, but they are far form the only from a complete picture of authority in the world of conspiracies.
Also, it sort of implies, like the communist revolutionary ideal , that the revolution need not be conducted by people who are in the know, but rather led by an intellectual elite who are in the know. The Proles need not understand , only have a consensus through which their "force" as you called it can be applied. This encourages an interpretation of human beings as masses rather than conscious individual capable of making up their own minds. Consensus often demands that we sacrifice our individual opinions in favor of someone else's intent, and that is a dangerous thing both to the person individuality and to his community, as it removes the essential context of personal responsibility. We end up being someone elses pawn in a revolution to bring about someone else's idea of a utopia.
Fascism is a dystopia, In my opinion, used not just to suppress its citizens and the countries it invades, but also to be a sort of military boogeyman to dialectically oppose and provoke international scorn, terrorism, etc. In the immediate, this is used for the globalist to divide people and create the sort of revolutions I' have been talking about to consolidate power. Secret societies benefit from the conflict and unrest this creates, allowing them feed of of our imaginations and spiritual energies. IMO.
This relates directly to the concept of despotism and individual responsibility, our own complicity in a consumerism, the democratic process, propaganda networks, and the use of violent force through controlled opposition. Talking about conspiracies in relation to revolution without including secret societies, despotism and collectivism would be a simplistic reaction to a partial interpretation of the meaning of conspiracy.

Asking somebody who thinks that al-Qaeda is a worldwide terrorist organisation with structure and form to believe that Osama was trained by the CIA is a toughie for them to grasp. Asking people who think that their taxes are too high to understand that they are being poured into a war with no purpose other than to secure oil and drugs is something totally different and much easier.
As I said, both focus entirely on fascism a a simple interpretation of us imperialism, such as being for oil etc. Also, I don't think people 't have trouble understanding that the CIA trained alqueda or supported Saddam, its part of documented history and pretty much known by everyone. Instead what I perceive is an unwillingness to acknowledge the effects of that truth due to personal responsibility toward action that it would involve. This is why I believe that conspiracy research into fascism and golbalism should be kept separate from advising people on how to solve the problem.
I think everyone is meant to hate the system, it is meant to drive people back and forth, to shred heir individual interpretations through the dialectical nature divisionism which helps sustain the constant and unending flux of economics and war. being revolutionary forces opoeple to choose sides, with us or against us. The so-called political battles we think are important, the so-called wars we oppose or support, the so-called "issues" we believe in , the so-called education we put ourselves through, the so-called working conditions we subject one another to, the products we buy, the investments we make. On and on it goes, how much is engineered and how much are we engineering ourselves?. Without answering that question for yourself, and an acknowledgement that our personal security and families are involved, it is impossible to get make a well rounded interpretation of the meaning of conspiratorial.

"Many people are doing the Illuminati, the Bilderberg Group, the CFR, Trilateral, Bloodlines, Population Destruction, Education destruction etc. etc. etc..."
First of all, I make a distinction between secret societies and globalists. Traditionally globalist are relatively public and open about their aims and affairs. The trilateral, the bilderbergers, the Fabians, CFR... these are part of what is called by many of the globalists themselves, "the open conspiracy". It has been stated on the record for over a 100 years. Its maneuvering is very well documented and most of its members are known, are even a part of out political history. Hence, this creates the myth that all secret societies are linked with government.
Personally, I interpret secret societies to be, well, secret. They are cult like, almost always have religious element or background, and their means and objectives are far more difficult to ascertain than military industry complex or the socially engineered world government. The illuminati, skull and bones, jesuits, zionists, templars, etc. These secret societies have a sacrificial nature which they associate with their ideas of "power", often through a Faustian pact with "the devil" or whatever entity they believe can grant them worldly dominion. Due to their religious sacrificial nature, bringing about violent revolutions, genocides and human conflict, whether through communism, fascism or the collectivists, has been one of their long term goals for a very long time, perhaps centuries. Some of these societies plan things hundreds of year in advance.

"...but very few are opening the door to those who know NOTHING of what "we" know."
Sorry, I disagree. There is tons of material in the mainstream about us imperialism, propaganda, fascism, etc. Again, I belie this is because of the reactionary effect it can have... people think they have the whole picture of why war exists... and that can often lead to them protesting and become "terrorist" by lawful definition, as you said of yourself on the site. This is definitely what the secret societies behind both the fascists governments and the collectivists agenda want; the collectivists use the fascists and the communists to bring about their global agenda, and the secret societies use the collectivists to bring about huge human sacrifice and control. But again, this is my own interpretation. But even this point of view leaves out the despotic element of our own lives.
For example, although many people are talking about secret societies, as you said, and many people are talking about US imperialism thing, and some are putting them together. but what both are often lacking is a incorporation of the self sacrificing despotic element as part of their conspiratorial view. This is something that is encouraged by government, religion, secret societies, globalists, communists and militaristic fascism, but ultimately it is the individual who must destroy himself or others. Social engineering systems are sustained by the willing cooperation of every single human being within the system... This is why "revolution" is often interpreted as a solution to conspiracies, because it involves the responsibility of the people involved at all levels. However, my interpretation of this personal responsibility is to attain self-knowledge. This is the final element of conspiracy research which is often overlooked or seen as a distraction... spiritual, immaterial and the imagination are a huge part of our individuality, of who were are, and the authoritarian conspiracies can been seen as a direct attack on our own sense of self-knowledge and personal power. Conspiracies to do with our ow personal power are actually the greatest source of knowledge one can find, yet they are often the least discussed form of conspiracy research.

The nation has so many people in so many mindsets and ALL of those people MUST be engaged in the debate for the debate itself to have any real meaning.
I agree, the fascist government, the globalists and the secret societies, they all want us to make only a partial interpretation of conspiracy and to act from that partial understanding. In this way our reactions can be predicted and manipulated in advance. Therefor, people must acknowledge that they are part of the conspiracy before jumping ahead to a active rather than a reactive solution. I have trained myself to be on the look out for reactive solutions an partial interpretations.. it is a part of my personal power. At the same time, I spend much of my efforts on focusing not just on all levels of authoritarian conspiracy, but on the positive and somewhat magical and mysterious nature of being human. Power and authority, an integration of the two elements of the occult, the hidden truth.
In addition to doing conspiracy research, posing here and elsewhere, I have also spent a lot of time, and still do, assembling occult media and creating compilations discs which I publish. The series is called Induction Into Power and Authority, and its main aim is self-education, self-knowledge, and a holistic reinterpretation of individual freedom throughout human history. So I admire your publishers spirit, putting together a website like you have done is an amazing feat and a worthy endeavor. As I said before, publishing on the Internet is the only revolution I'm interested in, and you are definitely on the aright track. It is only a holistic interpretation that is missing from much of the information published on the Internet, a lack of acknowledgement of how our good intentions can be used by others to bring about a wholly different situation than we predicted. By the way, I think that "start the revelation", is an awesome name for a website... I don't think its teh revelation before the revolution, I think that the revelation is the revolution.
I hope this makes sense and I support and empathize with what you trying to do, but as an individual I have to evaluate the whole situation, and that might include the unfortunate possibility of violent revolution, conflict and divisionism. These are important things to discuss within the conspiracy research community because they directly relate to how we fit into the grand scheme of things. We are the powers that be.
