Greg F., you are avoiding the issue with disinformation tactics. Specifically, you seem to be using tactic # 19 from the previously-posted list. "19. Ignore proof presented, demand impossible proofs." If you had bothered to click on the link to the WND article you would have seen it leads to further links leading to Cass Sunstein's writings on the topic mentioned. The first link in the article leads to an abstract of Sunstein's Harvard Law paper. The abstract says:

"Many millions of people hold conspiracy theories; they believe that powerful people have worked together in order to withhold the truth about some important practice or some terrible event. A recent example is the belief, widespread in some parts of the world, that the attacks of 9/11 were carried out not by Al Qaeda, but by Israel or the United States. Those who subscribe to conspiracy theories may create serious risks, including risks of violence, and the existence of such theories raises significant challenges for policy and law. The first challenge is to understand the mechanisms by which conspiracy theories prosper; the second challenge is to understand how such theories might be undermined. ... Various policy dilemmas, such as the question whether it is better for government to rebut conspiracy theories or to ignore them, are explored in this light."

That's from the abstract. Sunstein goes on to conclude that government operatives should infiltrate social networking sites on the internet and muddy the waters with further government lies.

Thank you for your excellent example of disinformation tactics.
