I agree Peter.
It is a bitter pill to have to swallow to be labelled a Conspiracist by your own profession, academia - and all who sail in her - when you've been diligent in your investigation and have written only the facts. Repeating this experience can lead to extreme caution in carrying thorough to the obvious conclusions.
But this attitude reveals an ingrained naivete imo, since it has ever been the case that attacking the status quo will alway result in a harsh reaction.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
