Has there ever been a time where truth had a definitive meaning? It's always been a very hard thing prove. It's why we still need to have juries.
Until we are able to take peoples memories out of their heads we'll never have the truth. Even them, memories can be foggy and the mind can invent things to make sense of it's surroundings.
I have a feeling the truth will always be the one thing beyond our grasp. So we will always have conspiracy theories
That 'tactic' was used against 'jesus christ' also, and I don't think Icke called himself jesus per se, think he said he had 'christ consciousness', two different things. The Greek pre-philosophers had 'Christ consciousness' when they would meditate/incubate.
It's always been a great tactic and always will be.
I don't believe David Icke actually came out and said: "I am Jesus"

I don't believe David Icke actually came out and said: "I am Jesus". However, my point was that his detractors believe he did say it, so he did say it... even if he didn't. That is part of their 'truth' about the Man, and it's a part of their truth they will always use to slap him down with. Which was part of the point I was making about not needing to 'kill him off' because he's not really taken seriously enough to be a threat in the first place. But good on him, he's made the best out of a bad situation and done well for himself with it.
May I ask, did you used to post on the David Icke forum years back?

He doesn't say it directly - but he certainly toys with the idea.
For the record, despite the fact I think the guy is bit of a loon, this interview has never sat well with me.
It's clear he was going through some sort of struggle mentally at the time, and the whole thing feels very exploitative.
I used to visit it, couldn't say with any degree of certainty that I posted. Many, many (hollow) moons ago. I thought I was open minded but jeebus there were some spanners on there
If people actually read his stuff, I read his early stuff, there is a coherence to his theory, even the lizard stuff. But people like to be in the cool gang and skit the uncool kid.
Haven't followed his stuff for 20 years now, but a lot of his theories can be argued as accurate, the rise of fascism for one. But he's right in the same way Nostradamus was, through interpretation.
To be fair though, I recall there being a few decent posters on the forum too.Agreed. But that wasn't my point. I was talking about the truth in the spirit of the thread.There are more than one version of truth for any particular event, but the system we live under provides us with a version and pushes that into the popular psyche as the 'accepted truth', that is open to counter interpretation.
There are unequivocal truths, the sin rose, the sun set etc, these are unarguable.
Then we have humanity and its truths, the ones MLK spoke of as 'self evident', which are the ones we turned our back on.
We've allowed the truth to not matter anymore. It isn't the factual nature it's the search for truth we've ditched.
Agreed. But that wasn't my point. I was talking about the truth in the spirit of the thread.
Worse one I've heard is the real paul McCartney died in the 60s.
This is where I say I'm not aware of any conspiracy theories regarding the rising and setting of the sun, and you provide several, isn't it?And so was I. If you look.

In regards to your last sentence, I'm not sure we've allowed it to not matter. I think instead we've become saturated with information. Thanks to the internet, we can find peoples opinions on pretty much anything. I know the papers have less influence than most people imagine, but it's hard to deny that they don't all have an agenda that can bias their reporting, even the BBC. Often that is unintentional I'd say, but it is there.
In regards to your first sentence regarding accepted truths, look no further than Jeremy Corbyn. I reckon that, more than anything else, is what finally sunk him. As far as the establishment (in this instance) are concerned, mission accomplished.
My first point was just an attempt to put some humour into our discussion, I apologise.In regards to your first point, don't know what you're getting at?
Secondly, in regards to my last sentence, I suggest you re-read it as you seem to have lost the intent.
Thirdly on my first sentence you seem to have some grasp, but the approach towards Corbyn was a part of a much bigger agenda.
Namaste.
