Had no knowledge of this but am not remotely surprised.

Gayle...exactly.

Yeah... this is a story that has largely flown under the radar... that...REALLY needs to get far more attention on a national... or even worldwide scale.

The community we have created... here... is capable of facilitating that. I'm confident!

I feel as if we are living in a cheap version of a Robert Ludlum novel.

Jack Hopkins's avatar

No kidding, Roberta.

The "trouble" with Ludlum... is that his conspiracies were competent. Ours...can't even redact a document consistently.

Precisely. I don't know if we're lucky they are so incompetent, or just plain screwed.

Hmmn...Occams Razor anybody?

Jack Hopkins's avatar

James Aldridge...yep. Good ol' Occam's Razor.

It has a track record of keeping people on the most useful trail.

Great article, Jack!

Very, very interesting and… intriguing! Hooks my attention.

Jack Hopkins's avatar

Thanks, CJB.

In my view, that should be the primary goal with any article; GET ATTENTION.

Easier said than done. Then, when you also pledge to not unnecessarily exaggerate, distort…or deviate from the available facts…yeah…to simultaneously do that…AND get…and KEEP attention, you better have a firm grasp of psychology, human behavior…and how people learn.

So…thank you for your kind words.

An article full of facts…that isn’t interesting, and/or doesn’t get attention…makes a good fire starter to get the wood-stove rolling on Christmas Eve. 🎄😉
