The following in a reply by karmadillo (thank you) to the "Operation Ore exposed - How thousands of innocent people had their lives ruined from being accused of paedophilia based on false computer forensic evidence. Some even committed suicide." submission at reddit.com

Another convenient sideshow to distract the public from the real pedophiles among the elite while growing the police state in scope:

• Exhibit #1  - Homosexual prostitution inquiry ensnares VIPs with Reagan and Bush. This story went away, and fast.
  
  
• Exhibit #2  - A major expose of elite pedophile rings in Nebraska was going to air on Discovery Channel but was censored by unknown but powerful interests.
  
  
• Exhibit #3  - The World Bank's Disappearing Sex Slaves. Click the first google result to read.
  
  
• Exhibit #4  - Jeff Gannon, former male prostitute, given press credentials and pass by Secret Service to lob softball questions during Bush's press conferences.
  
  
• Exhibit #5  - The "Finders". Words simply cannot do this story justice. Scans of the original police reports and letters were up on scribd before, but they were taken down. I can look for them if anyone cares.
  
  
• Exhibit #6  - The story of a Canadian victim of 50's CIA mind control experiments who was awarded $100,000 for her case in a Canadian court, from Naomi Klein's book, "The Shock Doctrine."
  
  
• Exhibit #7  - Verifiable and well-sourced background info on CIA's MK-ULTRA mind-control program.
  
  
• Exhibit #8  - An actual speech given at a well-attended therapists conference on dissociative personality disorder. Again, words are simply insufficient.
  
  
• Exhibit #9  - A collection of sourced news stories involving child abuse by highly-placed Jesuit priests.
  
  
• Exhibit #10  - Jersey "House of Horrors" sexual abuse allegations
  
  
• Exhibit #11  - UN ship carried child prostitutes
  
  
• Exhibit #12  - Portugal's Elite Linked to Pedophile Ring
  
  
• Exhibit #13  - verifiable expose of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation, a CIA front dedicated to discrediting abuse victim testimony.
  
  
• Exhibit #14  - The Detroux Affair. Convicted Belgian pedophile linked to elites.

Other random, unrelated but nonetheless interesting finds (feel free to add your own):

• Exhibit #15  - Media and FBI complicity in the coverup of the fabricated anthrax scare.
  
  
• Exhibit #16  - P2 Italian masonic lodge implicated in numerous Italian crimes and mysteries, including the nationwide bribe scandal Tangentopoli, the collapse of the Vatican-affiliated Banco Ambrosiano, and the murders of journalist Mino Pecorelli and banker Roberto Calvi.
  
  
• Exhibit #17  - Bank of Credit and Commerce International: Its officers were sophisticated international bankers whose apparent objective was to keep their affairs secret, to commit fraud on a massive scale, and to avoid detection. BCCI organized its own intelligence network, diplomatic corps and shipping & trading companies.
  
  
• Exhibit #18 - CIA plane used for renditions crashes in Mexico with 4 tons of Cocaine onboard.
  
  
• Exhibit #19  - Haliburton subsidiary DynCorp implicated in human trafficking, DOD does nothing.
  
  
• Exhibit #20 - The second president of the World Psychiatric Organization performed traumatic and potentially fatal MK-ULTRA experiments on unwitting Canadian citizens. What horrible irony that psychiatry is now used to discredit conspiracy theorists as paranoid schizophrenic.
  
  

Of course there's much much more, but these are some obvious standouts.

I often wonder how much anomalous data it takes for the "coincidence theorist" to acknowledge that their conventional understanding of how the power hierarchy operates simply does not reflect reality.

It appears as if one must be made familiar with a veritable jigsaw of seemingly unrelated facts and narratives before one can even begin to comprehend how they all fit together. Until one learns to see the connections for themselves, all such data is discarded or forgotten, even on those rare occasions it manages to escape the institutional filters our society has evolved for the dissemination and more importantly repetition of information.

Any one of the various standard narratives offered by our schools, politicians, and media are far more comforting to believe in, those being "normal" in contrast to the autodidactically acquired narrative on behalf of which one stands virtually alone in the face of ridicule and incredulity.

What incentive is there to seek out information which only leads to conclusions that harm your standing in society?

Who wants to admit to themselves or to their peers that they've been deceived their whole lives in light of conclusions they've taken it upon themselves to synthesize from a pile of research reflexively dismissed by most as either irrelevant or untrue?

But is this not the minimal requirement for having an open mind? Certainly we mustn't let the tail wag the dog: the facts must dictate our beliefs, not vice-versa.

And no matter what our beliefs, we all become quite attached to them. Belief is a kind of attachment, by definition, but to what? To truth? Whose truth? How can we really know what's going on outside of our little perceptive window into reality? Do we seek truth for ourselves, or do we allow whatever truth emerges from the collective activity of millions of selfish human cells, each concerned primarily with their own individual goals, dictate our reality?

I guess what I am asking is this: at what point have we collected sufficient anomalous evidence that, by the very same Occams Razor we would use to cut down the conspiracy theorist, we start demanding a more serious approach to truth in our lives than simply reciting the socially conditioned response:

"You delusional tin-foil hat wearing nutter!"
