Testimony (1995) di Juliana Sphar, Meow Press

Testimony (IV)

further complicating the flow of information: some documents are impossible to get
others disintegrate with five seconds exposure to air

these might tell of agreements between the U.S. government and beings,
perhaps granting beings permission to conduct animal mutilation

at other times, a man claims to be a source of false information
he might be sent by the government

another states "how do you know that I'm not here to cither give you misinforma-
     tion or to give you information which is part of the programming, knowing you
     are going to go out and spread it around?"

questions of truth are turned around, back to the sleuth in a beat up car who has
     given up his/her job to search for authenticity because this story is so big it will
     change the century

trust no one becomes an advertising slogan for the 90s
 
 

as the information here is suspect
a fraud will be enacted to prove other data is fraudulent
these fraudulent practices prove the truth of other data to some minds
(the fraud being evidence of the need to cover the truth)
others only remember the fraud
this creates a nightmare of violence and irrationality
 
 

at the end of every narrative are the "official response" and the "critics corner"
or a series of questions for you the reader to answer:
why does s/he claim it was foggy when the weather bureau reported sun?
why are victims of sexual abuse more likely to be abducted than the general population?
why do the most convincing, most tantalizing sightings always have only one person
     to authenticate them?
