Repetition Poem Contest Winner Author Notes A special thanks to Rudy Giuliani for coining the phrase: "Truth isn't truth". There are several references to conspiracy theories here. The Holocaust never happened is one of the more ludicrous. It is explained by some conspiracy theorists the Sandy Hook tragedy was staged to put pressure on Congress to pass anti-gun legislation. They've taken it to the point of harassing the parents of victims. Alex Jones is currently the subject of a lawsuit related to these matters. Truthers allege the Twin Towers tragedy is an inside job and not terrorists at all IF it even happened. Then there are those who think the Earth is flat. The list goes on. Virtually ANY tragedy occurring will have a conspiracy theory underway within an hour of its occurrence. Yep, it's a world of "fake news", "alternate facts" and "truth that isn't truth". What can I say?
