RE: Understanding What We Can't See - Conspiracy, "Debunking", and Absence of Evidence - Part Two
It literally is catching them in the act
Mike McQeary caught Jerry Sandusky in the act and wandered off in shock; these acts are repellent and people aren't going to respond as we think they should, with righteous justice.
When MCqueary reported the act, Penn State officials "underestimated" his story. It has to be worse when it is government officials, with the power of arrest or prosecution, are the ones covering it up
As first world citizens, we are trained to not be able to respond with righteous justice.
And there are many many stories of victims who aren't believed, or are drugged, or treated as insane or have their lives destroyed. It IS worse.
But, we believe in "the law" and "justice of the court" and a "fair trial", when all of these are provably false, as anyone who has had a run-in with them can attest.
We also believe that the news is news, that they would report important information.
These things we were told as we grew up, and were echoed in television programming.
It is almost impossible to stop believing in these lies.
We all have free will, and so, there will never be proof.
It is a matter of enough people all believing the same thing and saying that it is so.
