Posted on January 20, 2016 by johnrachel

The bulk of climate change denial studies is generated by bought-and-paid-for lackeys who WORK FOR THE FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY! While it represents only 3% of the scientific publications on this critical topic, the PR campaign by giant oil, gas, and coal corporations has been highly effective, so the public remains evenly split. Even for those who are concerned about the threat of climate change to civilization, the self-serving deceptions by participants in the recent COP21 fiasco produce a luster of false hope and delusion.

The cultivation of sodomy and other same-sex perversions is all around us. Most frighteningly, it is taking place right in our schools, subverting the innocent minds of our vulnerable youth. This press release from the National Council on Political Correctness offers some hope that this problem is being tackled with a thorough and aggressive “cleansing” of our culture, making it clean and wholesome again in the eyes of God.

Oratory as a Weapon of Mass Deception

Posted on September 29, 2015 by johnrachel

You can pretty much tape a copy of Obama’s speech at the U.N. this week to the wall, throw darts at it, and end up 9 times out of 10 hitting a half-truth, outright lie, or manipulative mangling of reality. I won’t even try to cover everything which puts this in the all-time Top 10 for gross misuse of oratorical gifts and abuse of the powerful platform he is accorded as president.
