Have dream - MLK declassified

[Ronin Institute for Independent Scholarship (General Partnership)]

Are Ronin Scholars following this hearing? 

www. ronin-institute.org would love to publish a scholarly analysis of

how the case is unfolding,

[Eleanor H Wynn]

Thanks for this. I’ll watch later. 

What kind of analysis do you have in mind?

Thanks for asking Eleanor

Well, I dont have anything in mind particularly but at the back of the independent scholarship argument *vs institutional

scholarship  is epistemic freedom, isn't there?

I  wonder for example what is the body of literature surrounding 'classified' knowledge

Aren't independent scholars supposed to be asking questions and  intelligent responses?

I have some drafts waiting to be advanced, here is one of them

https://sites.google.com/view/psyabu/home

Let me know if it inspires anything

Classified by who? Why? Classified 

to make sure the public opinion continues to stay misinformed about the state of play?

This is serious in politics, but also in science.

There is also the issue of what does it mean 'being an American'  , and being lied to by the founding institutions

Was MLK assassination an insider job? Has academia tackled the issue of classified knowledge?

*many wars and conflicts, and historical events are inside jobs, the result of direct manipulative interventions

I tackle systemic deviation in previous cycles, where things become distorted

I also addressed this as 'systemic aberration'

https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/search?q=systemic%20aberration

and the role it plays in psychological abuse

https://sites.google.com/view/psyabu/home

It came up here on this list as well

https://groups.google.com/g/ronin-scholars/c/d21AYrkeLkc

On a cognitive level, there is confounding, mislabelling of things aimed at creating confusion  *

from a knowledge mis representation point of view , And now there is AI. 

Is AI going to be used to spread knowledge or disinformation?

And what is the role of independent scholars in all this?

Lots of angles, what pulls for you and others?

When I joined Ronin Institute years back I saw the opportunity to have informed exchanges on foundational issues with

great learned people, but intelligent and informed discourse so far has been limited

Look forward to continued exchanges

Best regards

Paola

Does this have anything to do with the currently viral news that MLK is a fake black hero?

Vicente,   please illustrate, we all have limited attention and focus

Have you seen the media on the topic, kindly write up a note that can inform inquiry?

It would be good to contrast the outcome of the task force hearing with the media coverage of it

I must correct my earlier response, here is one of the draftsI intended to paste in my reply to Eleanor

I my earlier reply to your question

one of the links was not pasted correctly

Here is an draft for a paper I d be happy to develop collaboratively with current examples

[Vicente M. Reyes]

By "illustrate", do you mean give examples?  I can give you plenty if you just give me enough

time to dig up the ones I have already watched and read in FB and other social media sites.

[Paola Di Maio]

Vicente, Eleanor, and Independent Scholars far and wide

Thanks for the interest 

This is what americans stand for right?

There is work to be done!!   But everyone is suffering from cognitive overload, cognitive fog

Thanks to AI, we have an analytical overview  that can serve as compass, orientation

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Kd8vgl2Xvk9Cod9Siq87dN67WQ2JugH_GIhxLitdLUA/edit?usp=sharing

*feel free to point out error and omissions

This document summarises the findings, the state of the inquiry, the media coverage, and proposes a methodological

approach that scholars can follow to advance the inquiry based on their understanding, interest and including

At the bottom of the Overview doc there are links to individual summary files for each hearing, which I hope can

help to support the cognitive exhaustion of anyone looking into this

I feel there is a role for scholars,  Please open a shared folder to store any article you may produce, I recommend

zenodo, zotero and figshare

Let independent scholarship and open research collective be of service to the people

In open science we trust
