Wat het ideale joernaliste en ideale wetenskaplikes gemeen?
Minstens skeptisisme oor enige amptelike verklarings van nuwe gebeure deur mense wat bekend is vir vals verklarings - naamlik politici en hul dienaars.
Nuuskierigheid, verkenning van verskeie moontlikhede en avontuurlus motiveer die goeie joernalis én goeie wetenskaplike.
'n Blinde geloof in paranoïese verklarings, wat nie aan al die vereiste maatstawwe voldoen waarmee goeie joernaliste en goeie wetenskaplikes hul werk doen nie, is nie bloot nalatig nie, dis roekeloos en selfs misdadig.
Kennelik moet enige joernalis en/of wetenskaplike wat sy/haar professie werd is, die volgende hebbelikhede van staatslui ernstig, deeglik en in die openbaar betwyfel:
1) Eenmenskommissies - Ná die moord op 6 September 1966 op die SA premier H.F. Verwoerd, byvoorbeeld, is net regter J.T. van Wyk deur die nuwe staatshoof, John Vorster, opdrag gegee om dit te ondersoek.
2) Samesweringsaantygings - oor wat eintlik alternatiewe hipoteses is in reaksie op amptelike verklarings wat nie gestaaf kan word nie.
Die joernalis en/of wetenskaplike moet a) die amptelike verklaring deeglik probeer weerlê, en as hy/sy dit regkry, moet b) soveel joernaliste/wetenskaplikes moontlik met so 'n groot verskeidenheid hipoteses moontlik vorendag kom.
3) Dit alles moet in die openbaar geskied met wisselwerkende deelname deur die publiek - en terme soos "agter geslote deure", "geheim" en "geklassifiseer" is tipies die wetenskaplike en joernalis se grootste vyande - terwyl sy/haar grootste vriende in die 21ste eeu ál meer die sosiale media is, veral Wikileaks.
In die geval van sulke hebbelikhede moet joernaliste/wetenskaplikes luid van hulle laat hoor - al is dit dae, maande, jare, dekades, eeue en selfs millennia ná die tyd.

Hiep-hiep-hoera! x 3
Jesse Ventura, former Governor of Minnesota, tested this truth with a live CNN audience on Piers Morgan's show on Monday, September 17, 2012. At the 11:45 mark in this video, Piers Morgan tells Jesse Ventura, "I think you make some very sensible points and you make some crackpot points." Ventura responds, "That's your opinion," and then asks the live audience, "How many people here think I make crackpot points?" One person puts up his hand. He follows up, asking, "How many think I make sensible points?" The audience cheers and claps. Ventura turns to Morgan and says, "You're in the minority, my good friend."
2. The label "conspiracy theorist" has been used to death, and it is no longer effective in sidelining anti-government narratives to the fringe of public thought and public discourse.
Honest Western intellectuals have caught on to the fact that the label"conspiracy theorist" is a ridiculously overused in Western public discourse and serves no other purpose than to marginalize dissent. The label is used by abusive government officials and media personalities to subvert the democratic will of the American people and attack the credibility of dissidents.
Millions of thoughtful individuals are learning to treat anti-government narratives rationally and maturely, whereas in the past they used to stick the label "conspiracy theory" on them and didn't take them seriously. In the new language of mental resistance to government oppression, the term "conspiracy theory" is not applicable to alternative readings of history and alternative interpretations of current events.
