While we're on McLuhan and speculating, though - what is the sociological/technological dynamic that makes this a thing?

I still don't know what to make of the case, especially that Florida linked shooting. Still hilarious they locked down wide areas under military martial law just to get this kid, going door to door with paramilitary police.
It's like they wanted to feed into the Alex Jones fantasy imagery that came to bear real fruit that week.

but yeah, for Boston, it's looked to me like they thought they were the "red team" but the damn bombs turned out to be real. Who substituted in real bombs, that's still open though. Could even have been some person in their life, rather than 'authorities' - could have been the guy the FBI shot, they could have known he did it, maybe he even admitted it, but knowing full well they could never prove it in court, and it making them look like dumbasses, one 'rogue' agent finished it in an act of justified fury. Who knows. Speculation can go all over the place.

It is indeed Mission Accomplished, they have very effectively shut own all legit and honest discussion of what is really happening in the world by pushing completely outrageous theories that make us all look cray cray.

A similar thing happened to me. I had posted links from here about the Irish 'Orphanage' where the children' bones were found in a mass grave. One of those articles, from Salon, mentioned the testing of vaccines on unwitting and uninformed residents of those homes. The resident board stand-in for Penn Gillette got his panties in a bunch and derailed the thread for several pages bitching about anti-vaxxers and how they were going to take something like this and discredit scientific research...and worse, an exhibited an acceptance of such action as medically and scientifically moral and valid in a very patronizing utilitarian manner- essentially dismissing sacrificing the few so the many could live, but dammit you can't prove they died from the vaccine as opposed to hunger or exposure!...I'm not sure even he knew what dotted line he was signing on, it was just the natural extension of the logic.
...And as a result, a subject of great importance and sadness gets buried in a 'conspiracy theory dump' thread even though those 800 bodies were found and the catholic church had a hand in it by labeling these people as subhuman in the first place.
Skepticism is the new Absolute Belief System. At this point it's beginning to scare me a little. The adherents think they are rational enlightened beings. And it too, plays right into the hands of those who control.
