"Not only did the people choose to free Barabbas, but they demanded Jesus be crucified for challenging the authority and power of the religious leaders."
I don't want to believe the conspiracies or the fact that our government may have done this, but part of me feels like this would have been a GOOD opportunity for them to instill fear and take over more control over our lives, whether we realize it or not. I've often wondered if there were many reasons behind it....gave us a reason to go to war (because that's how the USA makes money)...don't you know that we sell weapons to everyone, etc., then we go fight them? Another thing would be that now there's an excuse for you to be pulled over and searched at any time. The airports are stricter than EVER...etc..etc...Just thoughts...I'm daydreaming.
It is counter intuitive to spin the word "truth" and wanting to know the truth- into something "disgusting". Good luck with that one!
This reminds me of the following quote:
To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.

Valid criticism is okay; Teddy wasn't referring to wacko conspiracy theories.

Regardless of who, or how this took place, this opportunity was taken.

Analyze...wacko is a label, nothing more.
Valid criticism? According to whom? The Status Quo?
Criticism may be valid, because many instances of that day cannot be adequately explained, and there were too many unusual circumstances and coincidences.
