Speaking of conspiracies, there's a docu-drama now on Netflix titled American Conspiracy: The Octopus Murders, based on the work of a journalist who unraveled apparent corruption at DOJ, thought to be credible by the honorable Eliot Richardson. Richardson said that it seemed probable that the journalist was killed by interested parties — parties connected to powerful sources high in gov’t who wanted to constrain (and “own”) early 1980’s software called PROMIS owned by INSLAW Company. DOJ had been sued for $8 million, and lost to the owner of the code. Alarming stuff happened in reversal of the suit. The journalist got wind of it, did extensive research, and then turned up dead by “suicide’ — but had told his brother 3 weeks before that if anything happened to him, it “was not an accident”. Powerful film based on real interviews and news clips. The journalist’s notes vanished from his hotel room, scene of the deadly event. Grizzly stuff. Very suspicious. Well told (first episode). 4-part series : : DOCU-DRAMA
So, the elephant in the room is the question asked by Sokrates, of Thrasymachus (in The Republic): What is justice? T answers: Justice is whatever the tough guy says it is. Sok then proceeds to cause T to blush a most famous blush.
While some of the rabble are prone to believing anything hinting of conspiracy, some of these scams are factual. (Our mileage may vary in determining which ones.) But how to hold community together, and deter self-dealing is an art requiring dedication and resolve. ~eric. MeridaGOround.com
