    Post How Science is Used as Propaganda

    A new study says you can’t trust most studies. https://www.yahoo.com/news/beware-th...164336076.html Well, that is one way to make sure your study is believed… If the study is wrong, it proves the study is right! It’s like when someone tells you they are a liar… should you believe them. The fact is that a lot of people pass of as "settled science" their interpretation of whatever tests they do, whatever analysis they do, etc. There's a lot of subjectivity that goes into it.

    A lot of us, knowing this, are suspicious that the conclusions reached on climate change have been manipulated for political agendas.

    In my business, I hire experts all the time. The lawyers compete to get experts. They can all look at the same thing and see something different.

    They see whatever they are paid to see!

    I am an expert on detecting RWNJ's. I see nut jobs, others see patriots. But no one has to pay me to say this, so my word rings with the truth!I am impartial!

    You are abnormal. No normal person listens to you. I thought a normal person should tell you.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.
