I actually had a publisher tell me I should write a book. I doubt that anybody who really should read it ever would though. It’s a lot of dry details that you have to get pretty absorbed in for it to make any sense. The devil is in the details and most people don’t have the interest or discipline to worry about details.
My 7th-grade son is supposed to write a 5-paragraph persuasive essay. He chose to write on the global warming hoax (partly because his language arts teacher chewed him out in front of the class after he muttered under his breath that Al Gore is an idiot, in response to having to watch “An Inconvenient Truth” in LA class on Earth Day). He researched and found lots of facts that ought to be convincing.
I talked with him about the fact that his language arts teacher had told him he was deluding himself if he thinks that global warming isn’t true. I said I wished that he could ask her to give a 5-paragraph persuasive essay citing evidence and refuting the counter-arguments. In the end, she won’t believe any of his facts because in her mind she will not allow herself to believe that the people who are supposed to be trustworthy - the scientific community - lie to her.
I counseled him to concentrate on showing that the two major mechanisms for accountability within the scientific community have been totally compromised on this issue - as shown in the leaked e-mails: critical peer review was deliberately suppressed, and the raw data was destroyed rather than exposing it to scrutiny.
The details are important for proving a case, but before anybody is willing to even look at the details, they have to get over this psychological need to believe that the people in trusted positions are actually trustworthy.
My own sister told me several years ago when I was discussing the evidence regarding Vince Foster’s death that she just could not go about her life happily if she believed that law enforcement covers for crooks. She needs the illusion of safety in order to feel secure.
This is why the Obama people will never get into the details. They keep stressing that a conspiracy this big is crazy to even consider. They’re playing the emotional game even though the facts totally show that the people who were supposed to be trusted have actually been lying to us and breaking laws.
Governor Heineman responded to the facts I sent him with this:
“My understanding is that President Obama was born in Hawaii and, therefore, has satisfied the eligibility requirements to hold the office of the President. I trust that those who confirm this information for federal elections have done their job accurately.”
He totally blew off the facts by saying that it’s somebody else’s job to check it all out and he trusts that they did their job.
I’m afraid that this would be the response of most people. An expose’ on John Edwards can sell, because people expect politicians to have affairs and then lie about it, and their doing so doesn’t impact national security. To be told that the entire government has deliberately lied to you in order to put an enemy in the White House.... is more than most people are willing to even consider. To them, the details are a waste of time because they will never let those details reach their logical conclusion.
I think it was Hitler’s propaganda minister, Goebbels, who said that the people will more easily swallow a big lie than a small one. He was dead right - as is evidenced by both the global warming hoax and Obama’s eligibility issue.
Hopefully seeing how Hasan and the Underwear Bomber were handled - especially in contrast to how grandma Tea Partiers have been handled - will allow people to see that to people who hate America, national security is just as much a game and giggles as illicit sex is to somebody like John Edwards. And THAT should be alarming. I hope we’re not past the ability to be alarmed. I thought 9-11 would have taught us something.
Jay: Man, we ain't got time for this cover-up bullshit! I don't know whether or not you've forgotten, but there's an Arquillian Battle Cruiser that's about to...
Kay: There's always an Arquillian Battle Cruiser, or a Corillian Death Ray, or an intergalactic plague that is about to wipe out all life on this miserable little planet, and the only way these people can get on with their happy lives is that they Do... Not... Know about it!
I wouldn’t underplay the interest your book would have. There are already a lot of people trying capitalize on the Obama eligibility issue in different ways. I’m pretty sure there’s a market.
BTW, if your son needs a tip on global warming, have him look at this studay, “Timing of Atmospheric CO2 and Antarctic Temperature Changes Across Termination III.” In this project, they measured CO2 in ice bubbles in the Antarctic and found out that CO2 levels lagged behind changes in temperature levels by 600 to 800 years. They tried to play this off by saying temperature cycles last about 5,000 years, so that the rest of the time, CO2 is still in phase with temperature increases, and would still be consistent as being a forcing factor. That’s pretty misleading because it fails to note the the lag is at the beginning of a temperature increase and at a decrease. In other words, lags occur at least 600 years at the beginning and another 600 years at the end of a full cycle ... which would be 1,200 out of 5,000 years ... that’s 40 percent of the cycle. The correlation period is only 60 percent of the cycle which would better suggests that temperature increases force the increase in CO2 levels, not the other way around. When temperatures go up, CO2 starts rising 600 years later. When it goes down, C02 starts falling 600 years later. In modern times, we’ve seen less than 150 years worth of data and nothing in significant levels to prove any verifiable deviation from what occurs naturally.
Here’s a link to the study.

When a new elected member of both houses, I believe first item of order is, the the new member is called into the majority/minority's office being told what to do and NOT to do!!
If that order is not followed they will just get Hell during their "visit" to Washington. This as well as applying to other form of government, State or local!!!
