The government runs propaganda ops against boards like FR. This is why FR has to be so careful to eject Birchers and even worse kooks.
I think it would be fun to draw out one of these propagandists and extract the truth about who employs them out of them.
Given that they have been right about this much (and much more), as improbable as it may have seemed, maybe the rest of their (JBS) 'kookiness' merits a serious second look.
