Counterknowledge

Damian Thompson, my fav and not a little candid catholic exposer of Conspiracy Theories and Counterknowledge in general, is out with a new book.

In Counterknowledge: How We Surrendered to Conspiracy Theories, Quack Medicine, Bogus Science and Fake History, Damian takes on many of the latest, and a some of the older, claims on what's really going on behind the curtains, who's really in control, what really happened and all that and some more.

He has a big disadvantage, though. The website 9/11, The Bigger Picture and the Quest for Truth now reveals that Damian shares surname with the director-general of the BBC, Mark Thompson.


Say no more. Or read about it here.

If you check the comments you will also discover the amazing story of Oliver Panic. Even if historians in a millennium or two will presume that the name is pure invention .
