I was NOT deriding your tireless work, which is far in excess to my own. I was bemoaning knowing of a tactical training program where more people could do the kind of things needed to derail the Progs tactic in advancing their agenda. Being filled with facts and knowledge and eloquence clearly is not enough.
And I surely hope you continue to make gains. The truth does matter.
The thing is, those newly informed minor bureaucrats have to be able to keep their jobs. They WILL run into apparatchiks who will softly say things like "you're smart enough to know which side is the right one."
And should they fail to respond "well" to such suggestions, they will hear something like "I thought you were smart" at their exit interview.
The CAGW climate scam is more reliant on their Soviet-Style media (SSM) than on the actual number of climate scientist who are listed in the "consensus." But that doesn't mean that climate scientists can be assured they'll get their next research grant if they don't bow in the right direction when called on to do so. Same with Forestry Service and Interior bureaucrats. It's one thing for them to have their eyes opened by you, entirely another to buck the nefarious system that seeks to grows the department they work in (with them or without them).
We live in much nastier times.
Well, here is what you said: And who amongst us knows what countermeasures work against such subterfuge and can teach it? I don't know of anyone; do you?
I think I interpreted the prose correctly. I suspect that when you referred to "who amongst us" you were thinking only of conservative pundits and leaders observable in media, believing yourself and the rest of us incapable of elevating anyone. We could, but that cuts to your other point about conservatives being individuals. Good thought btw.

That takes a job market for their respective skill sets. I have devised tools to create such an industry as you know. Of course, there might have to be a bit of reeducation before they'd be employable. :-)

Indeed. One of the recent visitors to my site was from the California Department of Technology.
