Conspiracies: The power of covert operations

More about the book

Are conspiracies real? Anyone who asks this question has to listen to a lot. Yet whether something is a conspiracy theory or the "objective truth" always depended on who was in power and which elites wanted to push through which goals. The media wars of conspiracy talk and counter-conspiracies have long made the daily news confusing. Whoever shouts the loudest today is not necessarily the pioneer of tomorrow's thinking. Reality has many possibilities and no one knows which of them will be believed in 50 years.We have to find our way back to an enlightened attitude of tolerance. Otherwise we are like the murderers of Giordano Bruno, who foresaw our modern cosmology and had to die at the stake because his contemporaries were all too sure that they knew what is a heretical conspiracy theory.
