LOL you sound like a broken record Rod......you do understand simply repeating something over and over doesnt make it true correct? 

The FOIA information in the article seems pretty straight forward and damning and ties back to the Fauci emails pretty tightly. Facts dont change no matter how many times or ways you call them lies. 

I suspect Fauci will get his day in court.....Between the FOIA info and the emails it is pretty obvious he was no where near honest with the government or the people.

I've read some of the emails and watched some of the commentaries and read several articles and fact-checks and what happened as far as I'm concerned is that Fauci changed his mind over time as facts on the ground changed. That's it. It's no more mysterious or nefarious than that.

That all sounds very reasonable James..... However, when you look at the information in the FOIA reports and match it up to corroborating emails it paints the picture quite differently imo. I get the outrage machine reference but then both sides of the fence have their outrage machines.....I tend to ignore that stuff and look at the reference material and make my own conclusions. Mine is Fauci got caught lying to both the government and the people, now whether he will suffer any consequences is another issue in itself.....I suspect he will just fade into the background not to be heard from again as happens in many cases.

Why Was My AD Removed

Posted By Greg Shaffer
You asked this same question 3 days ago in the off topic forum and I answered explaining in depth that your ad was not removed and is still in the system as well as why you are not seeing it..... I didnt notice the part Herb referenced at the time about the URL or I would have warned you about that as well. 

If you want to know why you are not seeing it you should go read my reply......

GOP Rep "Louie" Gohmert On Changing the Earth/Moon Orbits

Posted By Greg Shaffer
There are definitely some ignorant looney birds who manage to get elected and more than anything it reflects poorly on the population of the area they represent..... Another example would be Hank Johnson (D) in GA and his ridiculous perspective regarding the island of Guam. There is a video of him questioning a military General regarding a proposed increase in Military personnel at the base there.... Johnson voiced his concerns that the proposed significant raise in personnel numbers at the base which is located on one side of the island could actually overload the island and cause it to capsize..... 

Dont want you folks getting the idea that conservatives hold a patent on electing the ridiculously ignorant with Gohmert as Johnson is one of yours lol

Exporting Telescope Parts

Posted By Greg Shaffer
I have had a handful of transactions both purchasing and sales with people outside the CONUS.....and been fortunate not to have had any issues. That said you need to be VERY careful. I would not advise dealing with anyone who has little or no feedback and/or is very new to AM.....If the price seems to good to be true then it probably is. Also as already mentioned either use paypal or a credit card so you have a modicum of protection.
