very easy to get caught up in it, and see things that someone spewing one of the CTS say

because if you believe in the person saying it, you see what they are saying and it all makes sense

until their real agenda and angle comes out

and the spell is broken and you realize that the end of the breadcrumb trail was put there by the CTer in the first place

the CTer sees the end, and makes a path from the start to that point

I.E.-
deep throat in watergate
(I have said this before).

I never understood all these years why Woodward & Bernstein were W&B on everything but Deep throat, which was just Woodward and NOT Bernstein.
Until later on and we know what type of person Woodward was and Bernstein wasn't.

Deep throat led directly to what DT and those involved with DT wanted Woodward to be led to.And it happened.

The big picture was missed, but the outcome was a given, once people believed those breadcrumbs to be true.

Which was to use the shortcomings of Nixon to achieve the overthrow of Nixon.
(that democratic voters and the media hated him, just made it all easier.
Without that overthrow, the Bush's themselves never would have achieved their power.

With the Alex Jones & CTers out there, it is very easy to achieve what is wanted

one realizes soon, that they make their living spewing these things


In everyman terms, anyone remember the Kolchak the Night Stalker series?
The two movies, then weekly episodes
One person discovers a wacked up thing every single week?
Yet it spawned the David Duchovney show X factor.
again, finding one CT after another.
