ACCELERATION
A lot of news starts as a sort of rumor; anecdotal evidence.
Then, the drumbeats start. More people get into the story; build it up.
Finally, there is a tipping point. Enough people ask questions so that the conventional wisdom gets some real study.
Then, what became obvious to almost everyone during this acceleration of awareness, becomes a matter of 'official scrutiny' and, lo and behold, what we thought was true is not only true but the perpetrators themselves admit to the now obvious fact.
It even makes it as a headline in the NYTimes!
It takes one fuck of a long time for this all to happen though.
I thought this was true years ago.
Spy Agencies Say Iraq War Worsens Terror Threat
No shit Sherlock!
Of course, I am sure that bushie ain't having any.
