Concerning the claim from the introductory paragraph that Griffin's theories on the Federal Reseve have been debunked, I followed the (single) citation to a book called "Pranksters : making mischief in the modern world" and read the relevant chapters. It does '''nothing''' by way of "disproving" the claim, and no actual, fact-based argument is advanced. Instead, it's but a "claim against the claim", a simple statement in other words that what Griffin says is wrong and/or exaggerated, while shame is attributed to the otherwise respectable men who promoted his theories. It's a mark of hypocrisy to call a theory debunked by citing a reference that does not even try to debunk it factually. I believe that this entire claim must be removed from this article, or citations to actual proofs must be found. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) September 2024 (UTC)</small> Concerning the claim from the introductory paragraph that Griffin's theories on the Federal Reseve have been debunked, I followed the (single) citation to a book called "Pranksters : making mischief in the modern world" and read the relevant chapters.

Poor and/or biased references

Concerning the claim from the introductory paragraph that Griffin's theories on the Federal Reseve have been debunked, I followed the (single) citation to a book called "Pranksters : making mischief in the modern world" and read the relevant chapters. It does nothing by way of "disproving" the claim, and no actual, fact-based argument is advanced. Instead, it's but a "claim against the claim", a simple statement in other words that what Griffin says is wrong and/or exaggerated, while shame is attributed to the otherwise respectable men who promoted his theories. It's a mark of hypocrisy to call a theory debunked by citing a reference that does not even try to debunk it factually. I believe that this entire claim must be removed from this article, or citations to actual proofs must be found. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.74.254.1820 (talkcontribs) September 2024 (UTC)
