The little guy doesn’t matter. That’s what you seem to be saying. The little guy should just give up and die because only the big, powerful people who sit in fancy offices and rub elbows with all the powers that be can ever make a difference.
I don’t buy it. Sometime the fate of the world rests on hobbits.
And if you believe that the little guys can’t ever bring evidence that makes a difference, then what the heck is Free Republic for? The idea that we peons are just wasting our time on earth pretending that we’re “the resistance” is repugnant. Are we all just here to entertain ourselves while the “big” people who are supposed to be doing something pick their noses and wait for their quid-pro-quo to land in their laps?
To reject evidence because it is uncovered by somebody you consider beneath your dignity is the essence of snobbery and INJUSTICE. If you doubt the provenance of the evidence then say so. If you think I manufactured video and claimed it was really from ABC, say that straight-out, but don’t reject the FACT of ABC’s video simply because I was the one who went to the trouble of watching it in slow motion while everybody else whizzed right past it. If you think I forged the MCFD’s case report tell me so - or better yet, ask for your own copy and see what you get. It is a fact - totally independent of me - that the CAD transcript was cut and pasted so the timestamps are out of order. It is a fact that the last timestamped communication had the USCG saying they had one in critical condition in their helicopter. I could also show you from the USCG report the evidence that the helo she would have had to be in at that point could not have been the helo claimed to have picked her from the water. I could show you a whole bunch of discrepancies.
But you won’t look at it, because you don’t like me. You think I’m a kook because I don’t carry a press pass. And you use that fact to dismiss any evidence you really don’t want to have to consider, and do your level best to make sure nobody else can/will consider it either.
Not credibly, after they've gone full Art Bell mode with absurd fantasies.
That stuff kind of damages the reputation. Like crying wolf.

I have little dignity, and I reject evidence when it is ridiculous.. and not truly evidence of anything except a vivid imagination.
But you won’t look at it, because you don’t like me.
I like you just fine, I just think you're a kook. Kooks are fun.
Hell, didn't I offer to help you with your graphics? Told you at
the time that I figured you were a kook but was willing to help, as you were clearly having some trouble.
You think I’m a kook because I don’t carry a press pass.
No, that's not why.
do your level best to make sure nobody else can/will consider it either.
How do I do that? By stating that I think some of it is bunk?
So.. you figure my opinion should not be heard, alongside your "evidence"?
That's pretty much what you're complaining about, isn't it? Being "silenced"?
From C.S. Lewis:
The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid “dens of crime” that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the office of a thoroughly nasty business concern.”
