A Conspiracy to Educate
Kenneth C. Wiggins
The New York Times may get two or three emails a month about judicial injustice - those they can pass off as individual paranoid extremists. If a thousand individuals each sent an email once a week they would get four thousand a month, and some would get published. Yes, and we would start seeing articles appearing too.
If the 'people that be' at ABC, NBC or CBS started getting those same four thousand emails, plus and outline of 'programs' on the subject, and they would be doing hour long stories, too, not just three minute blurbs.
I have more faith in The People than I do in all the appeals, objections and mandamuses put together. The conspiracy of the government focuses on abusing us individually. Every where I turn, from the checkout girl at the grocery store, my hairdresser, the car mechanic, they all know someone - or are someone - that the courts have screwed. It is rampant, but we are kept in our little separate cells of ignorance, afraid to even think that the government is conspiring against us personally. It must be our fault, the government must know what's right. I must really be a bad person, my government says so.
Mandamuses are necessary, as are appeals or whatever legal actions can be taken to enforce responsible and respectable behavior in our courts. However, until we gain the widespread, knowledgeable support of The People, we won't get very far. The government can ignore individual paranoid extremists, but ignoring a seriously involved movement of people is tantamount to disaster. Such movements are born of 'the conspiracy to educate'. It is a 'Conspiracy of Truth', to simply expound the Truth; it that must be our First Task.
Don't write your congressman. Don't write to the Judicial Review Committee. Do write your local newspaper, and to The New York Times, and to Dateline, and to Ann Landers, and to sixteen other responsible media sources. Once a week. The 'Conspiracy of Truth' depends on you.
