I found Williams’ “oh bs” statement to be just as valid and compelling as the author’s: The truth would sound so outrageous most Americans would riot, revolt, reject, etc.

These types of statements are ridiculous. The author pretends to be “in the know” and implies that he knows early-shattering “truths” that he can’t reveal to us because as “regular people” we wouldn’t be able to handle the “truth”.

These types of “conspiracy” claims are the epitome of BS. The “secret agent reporter” trope is stale, trite overused and boring.

In my opinion, this “Q” character should either tell what he knows in plain factual language or he should STFU.

I know you're just saying that to make a point. You really don't believe that.

The author surrounded his statement with other thoughts and, whether you believe it or not, reasoning for his statement.

Poor old simple William simply ran in, shouted "Oh BS" and ran out. There was no justification for his statement. No logic, no reasoned argument. That I could at least respect and respond to.

But it's okay, 'cause here you are. Representing the "Oh, BS" consortium. I appreciate the mature manner in which you enter the debate. I surely am not the most articulate representative of the Qbirds, but I'll take a shot. Neither do I know all there is to know.

Ready?

Not me. I hope he keeps yapping in any manner he sees fit. I'm sure he has his own reasons for his methodology and it's none of my business. I'm grateful for any information I can get.

At the VERY least, he is encouraging dialogue and shifting attention to important topics. He is, by having the public ask questions, applying pressure to politicians and people in power who would normally ignore these things.

In affect. He is waking us up. And by us, I mean the American people, not freepers in particular, though some of us could use a kick in the anus.

Ty. I was struck by the author’s presumptuous statement that most Americans would riot. Am overblown impossible to know prediction. And I agree with you why wouldn’t the author simply state the facts. Sad to see so many here not just interested, but convinced of this stuff.

You are wrong for a list of reasons. The evidence is available. There's a ton of it on FR threads and for easy of posting links--on this one at GOPBR:

http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,297134.0.html

Which has nearly 3,000 views. And, a Poll at the top results so far:

Absolutely: 97-99.9% true: .............................................. 10 (26.3%)
Certainly vast bulk...appears to be true: 70-97% true. .... 11 (28.9%)

It seriously sounds like the majority of it is true: 51-70% true: .... 2 (5.3%)
Some of it may be true: 0-50%: ................................................... 6 (15.8%)
Neutral. I don't know: ................................................................... 6 (15.8%)
It is all 99.9-100% false: .............................................................. 1 (2.6%)
Very little of it is true. 0-5%: ....................................................... 2 (5.3%)

Clearly you are in the minority of folks who are well informed and bright enough to more or less cope with the massive complexities involved.
