We live in a time during which myriad forces exist only to protect oligarchy. We see it every day. The recent flush of commercials telling the American people that Exxon is experimenting with using algae for biofuels is a perfect example. Oil companies have taken billions of dollars in subsidies to "research" solar energy, wind energy, wave energy and other non-"traditional" non-fossil energies. Each time the government funding for research is cut, corporate interest disappears. I saw a few auto races yesterday and the commitment to doing things a better way, or not was on full display for anyone watching with a critical eye.
Anti-truthers are the first ones to spend lavishly on whatever it takes to maintain their place in the power and control game. They usually have the most expensive suits, the most remote compounds in which to live and ironically live the most insulated lives, perhaps that is why they seem to believe their own lies. These are the bullies we all recognize from childhood. Those who sat behind you, lobbing spit balls at you until test day, when they would sit close enough to cheat. The cast of characters is always there, the names change, but dumb bullies have become a worn-out trope.
