Are you spick and span ?

When NASA successfully had a team of astronauts land on the moon, there were people who denied this truly happened.
They claimed that it was all a set up.
The landing of the moon was enacted in a large hall on Earth.

When President Kennedy was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald immediately there were conspiracy stories launched that it all had been a complot with many more organizations and people involved than just Oswald.

It seems when most impressing events take place, part of humanity resists believing it.
This phenomenon has now also spread to the 9/11 events.

A video documentary was made that is explaining that it was not an airplane that hit the Pentagon but a missile.
And that the Twin Towers were loaded with explosives that were ignited after the planes flew into the buildings.
In other words, the 9/11 events were orchestrated by the Bush Government, claims this documentary.

The issue is not whether the event actually happened or not.
Or in the way the Government says or not.
The issue is whether the people believe the authorities.
And many do not.
Many members of the population have no trust in the authorities.
They deeply distrust politicians.
And for good reason.
There are many examples how politicians have been fooling the people.
Hiding and lying about things, twisting and spinning reality and denying and obscuring the truth.

This is a situation not only relevant in the USA.
We see the same thing in most other countries as well.

In business it is accepted not to reveal the truth about the own position.
It is called wheeling and dealing.
Like going to a market and negotiating the price.
The discussion between the two sides has nothing to do with truth.
One could for example say that the price asked is too high and cannot be afforded while it could be that the price is rather low and could easily be paid.
But it is part of a game.
Both sides know this game and play it as well as they can.

Politicians, although there are some exceptions, have created reputations comparable to second hand car salespeople.
When a second hand car salesperson is met he or she makes the customer feel a new and wonderful friend has been made.
The salesperson knows how to make the customer feel good and relaxed.
But once the deal is done, the customer notices that this pretended new friendship lasted only for as long as the money was still in the own pocket.
The priorities of the salesperson abruptly change.
Most people know about this and are very careful when buying a second had car.

Many people give politicians like Tony Blair, Jacques Chirac, General Musharaf, Nouri al-Maliki and George Bush no credit whatsoever.
They have come to realize and accepted that these politicians cannot be trusted.

Hence the conspiracy theories every time a major event takes place.

Lack of trust creates paranoia.
And that is what those conspiracy theories are.

Paranoia is a sad thing.
It corrupts the daily life in a damaging way.

Better to think that it doesn’t matter that maybe the world is full of lies.
If one personally lives in complete truth, at least the personal domain is spic and span.
