I am not answering your question for Antisthenes, and I am not telling anyone what they should believe. I just feel that sources don't carry a lot of weight anymore. I have looked at numerous sources from a multitude of places, only to find with very little research, that the information presented was skewed in any direction they wanted to point you.
It is hard today to find the truth anywhere, especially on the internet because they have the power to control what is published, when, where, and how.
Some of the most detailed and professionally prepared documents, documentaries, and videos are nothing more than brilliantly constructed propaganda.
They have mastered the power of Words. A properly placed word with the right imagery can make a lie look like the bona fide truth. They are skilled at wordsmithing. As an example, a simple word like "run", just in its verb form, is listed to have "645" distinct meanings.
We bring our baggage when presented with any material that is presented in the atmosphere of doubt and suspicion. And it is easy to trust material presenting info you already believe anyway.
It has been proven repeatedly with the ads and videos that we are being barraged with on the TV and internet, that you can't take anything at face value.
It would be humorous, if it were not for the fact that you know it is not a peice for National Lampoon or The Onion. It is a blatant, in your face insult, for those that recognize the cheap attempt at manipulation, and the declaration of just how stupid they think we are.

For every one person that read this post. About 7.99 billion have not.
Yet I still post.
