Everybody has an agenda of one sort or another. Positive, negative, selfish, selfless, it depends on the person and the agenda--as does the means to
accomplish said agenda. I'm assuming the propaganda to which you refer is dis/mis-information, blind alleys, red herrings, sometimes even good old
NLP style mind control.
Nyet... I do not necessarily think everyone approaches all propaganda with the purpose of misinformation or misdirection. Some people genuinely
believe their own propaganda or perhaps even think of the message as harmless, especially when compared to something more sinister.

There is a lot of misunderstanding for instance on what is meant by "occult" especially within religious groups who are convinced many things are
"from the devil" without any deeper levels of understanding.
Knowing your occult background, I'm glad to see you realize this important fact.

We also agree that the line does not stop at the occult (probably more accurately referred to as "extra-physical means"--no need to sully the good
names of the innocent occultists.) But are said "extra-physical" means used to accomplish certain agendas? I think so, especially since the
fingerprints of ritual (symbolically and numerologically) are found in the damnedest places (pun intended.)
The argument can also be made that symbology and numerology is also found in nature. Yet you do not consider mother nature to be part of some vast
conspiracy.... Some things are just simply naturally occuring. Who is to say, ultimately, that it isn't all part of some divine plan?

What I haven't seen is any proof that your point of view of said non-existence is based any less on faith, observation, or your own or others
agendas,than mine is based on faith and observation of their existence.
So you are asking me to prove a negative? Do you not see the illogic to that request??

The only way either of us could speak with any such certainty is if we carried the highest levels of security clearance and anyone with such a high
level of clearance saying the things you say with certainty would automatically be suspect as to the nature of that person's agenda (because
remember, everyone has an agenda.)
So, if I DO somehow prove a negative to you, that only makes my proof suspect because of where that proof is obtained? Sounds like a no-win situation
to me. This is why CT believers refuse to accept logic, reason, proof, truth, or anything that doesn't fit their pre-conceived beliefs about what
reality really is.

And I hold a high regard for you as well, mon ami.... But if this is your "truth," then I'm glad to be considered wrong....
