Do you know what 'sheep-dipped' means?

WV,

All of us are seeking the truth. We all have our own ways of getting there. And who’s to say which pathway is the “right” one, blah blah blah. You know the drill. But, I don’t think it’s a stretch to say Corbett doesn’t help anyone in that search.

He’s a crackpot believer in Pizzagate, a 9/11 Truther, and connected with Alex Jones and infowars.

Yes, the government lies to us all the time, and hides stuff from us all the time, especially about corporate control of government, the military, the MIC and our Intel “community.” But the answer to those lies isn’t more lies and wild conspiracy theories from online hacks. To me, it just makes it that much harder to cut through the fog. It adds a new layer of hair’s on fire absurdity on top of the lies and hidden nature in question.

Just my take. But we can do a hell of a lot better than folks like Corbett.

==================

Well, i wasnt raising the Corbett issue, BT. Corbett didnt talk about the ‘sheepdip’ thing. An ex CIA guy did. Corbett was just quoting him.

Corbett is a separate issue. I dunno what i think of Corbett. I dont dismiss him the way you do, though. I know he’s ‘out there’ on some issues, but i think he’s good on other issues (corporate power, for example).

But again, i dont buy into Corbett’s theory about McVeigh, but I am simply pointing to that one quote on ‘sheepdipping’ by the CIA guy.

Fair enough. Sorry if I come across as a nudge on this stuff. I come back and reread what I’ve written, and then your responses, and feel guilty about bringing it up at all. I guess I’m just seeing a lot of “crazy” out there these days, and I’m reacting to it. Probably not the right place to do that, cuz you just want to bring new things into the discussion — stuff that is rarely talked about.

Anyway . . . yeah, that sheep-dipping thing is deeply disturbing. I’ve always loved espionage thrillers — when they’re fiction. But I’m not at all thrilled when it’s reality. It should remain in the realm of the novel, film or TV drama.

You’re right. A culture of lies.

On Corbett though…he’s a mixed bag. Yeah, lots of conspiracy stuff, but he’s no Alex Jones. You get some good stuff from Corbett. Just have to wade through some bad stuff. I dont mind.

For example i enjoyed this little thing on ‘learned optimism’.
