Conspiracy Theories: Causes and Cures
Cass Sunstein and Adrian Vermeule - 2010
"What can the government do about conspiracy theories, and what should it do?
(1) Government might ban "conspiracy theories", somehow defined.
(2) Government might impose some kind of tax, financial or otherwise, on those who disseminate such theories.
(3) Government might itself engage in counterspeech, marshaling arguments to discredit conspiracy theories.
(4) Government might formally hire credible private parties to engage in counterspeech.
(5) Government might engage in informal communication with such parties, encouraging them to help. Each instrument has a distinctive set of potential effects, or costs and benefits, and each will have a place under imaginable conditions.
Our main policy claim here is that government should engage in cognitive infiltration of the groups that produce conspiracy theories, which involves a mix of (3), (4), and (5)."
Media Matters claims full quote exonerates Cass and Adrian(in bold) when it only further damns them while OBVIOUSLY leaving a giant loop hole with the phrase "Our main policy claim here" duh, (They also claim Glenn Beck "Cropped" the quote, he read it in full on the radio where he has 3 hours not 1)

Private Speech, Public Purpose: The Role of Governmental Motive in First Amendment Doctrine - (PDF External Link)
"Finally, the notion of a skewing effect, as an explanation of R.A.V. or any other case, rests on a set of problematic founda- tions. The argument assumes that "distortion" of the realm of ideas arises from-and only from-direct governmental restric- tions on the content of speech. But distortion of public discourse might arise also (or instead) from the many rules of property and other law that, without focusing or intending to focus on any particular speech, determine who has access to expressive oppor- tunities.
If there is an "overabundance" of an idea in the ab- sence of direct governmental action-which there well might be when compared with some ideal state of public debate-then action disfavoring that idea might "unskew," rather than skew, public discourse. 20 Suppose, for example, that racists control aficial suppression of ideas [was] afoot."24 And going beyond the structure of the law, the Court found that "comments and conces- sions" made by St. Paul in the case "elevate[d] the possibility to a certainty" that St. Paul was "seeking to handicap the expression of particular ideas" because of hostility toward them."

"I don't want to punish anybody, but there are an extraordinary number of people whom I want to kill. I think it would be a good thing to make everybody come before a properly appointed board just as he might come before the income tax commissioners, and say every five years or every seven years, just put them there, and say, sir, or madam, now will you be kind enough to justify your existence. If your not producing as much as you consume or perhaps a little more then clearly, we cannot use the big organizaton of our society for the purpose of keeping you alive because your life does not benifit us and it can't be of very much use to yourself."

Til all the orders of the state running headlong onto eachother under the weight of every vice break asunder the bands of laws and concord.

I think one man is just as good as another so long as he’s not a nigger or a Chinaman. Uncle Will says that the Lord made a White man from dust, a nigger from mud, then He threw up what was left and it came down a Chinaman. He does hate Chinese and Japs. So do I. It is race prejudice, I guess. But I am strongly of the opinion Negroes ought to be in Africa, Yellow men in Asia and White men in Europe and America.

John Dewey [blog]
[freedom is not] "something that individuals have as a ready-made possession." [It is] "something to be achieved." [In this view, freedom is not a gift of God or nature. It is a product of human making, a gift of the state. Man is a product of his own history, through which he collectively creates himself. He is a social construct. Since human beings are not naturally free, there can be no natural rights or natural law. Therefore,] "Natural rights and natural liberties exist only in the kingdom of mythological social zoology."
"Natural rights and natural liberties exist only in the kingdom of mythological social zoology. Men do not obey laws because they think these laws are in accord with a scheme of natural rights. They obey because they believe, rightly or wrongly, that the consequences of obeying are upon the whole better than the consequences of disobeying. If the consequences of existing rule become too intolerable, they revolt. An enlightened self-interest will induce a ruler not to push too far the patience of subjects. The enlightened self-interest of citizens will lead them to obtain by peaceful means, as far as possible, the changes that will effect a distribution of political power and the publicity that will lead political authorities to work for rather than against the interests of the people—a situation which Bentham thought was realized by government that is representative and based upon popular suffrage. But in any case, not natural rights but consequences in the lives of individuals are the criterion and measure of policy and judgment. "

In Venezuela, with Chavez, you really had an incredible revolution -- democratic revolution -- to begin to put in place things that were going to have impact on the people of Venezuela. The property owners and the folks who were then controlling the media in Venezuela rebelled -- worked, frankly, with folks here in the US government -- worked to oust him. He came back and had another revolution, and Chavez then started to take the media very seriously in his country. And we've had complaints about this ever since."
"As Newton Minow has observed, all too often Americans use the First Amendment to end discussions of communications policy. It should be clear by now that my focus here is not freedom of speech or the press. This freedom is all too often an exaggeration. Harold Innis may have been only slightly exaggerating when he wrote, "Freedom of the press ... has become the great bulwark of monopolies of the press." At the very least, blind references to freedom of speech or the press serve as a distraction from the critical examination of other communication policies.
Ithiel de Sola Pool's Technologies of Freedom is a good example of the idealization of freedom of speech in America. Although it is one of the best books on the history of communications, its premise, that technology frees while government policy constricts speech, is far too simple an understanding of either the First Amendment or democratic deliberation."

"On the one hand, as scientists we are ethically bound to the scientific method, in effect promising to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but – which means that we must include all doubts, the caveats, the ifs, ands and buts. On the other hand, we are not just scientists but human beings as well. And like most people we’d like to see the world a better place, which in this context translates into our working to reduce the risk of potentially disastrous climate change. To do that we need to get some broad based support, to capture the public’s imagination. That, of course, means getting loads of media coverage. So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have. This “double ethical bind” we frequently find ourselves in cannot be solved by any formula. Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest. I hope that means being both."

The function of News is to signalize an event... The function of truth is to bring to light the hidden facts to set them into relation with each other. And to make a picture of reality on which men can at. Only at those points... Where social conditions take recognizable and measurable shape. Do the body of truth and the body of news coincide.
