Patrick,

I agree that Toxic Reverend's slander of you is unfounded and absurd.

One quibble, I didn't look before you stated that he does not use his actual name in his profile, so I don't...

Dear David and "Reverend",

If you have a verifiable point to make, and I believe you do, asking other to follow "links" or use search engines does nothing to help your cause. I am not sure if your...

The Thrive movie gained a fair degree of credibility due to interviews in it of some important progressives. Many of these people have now chosen to disassociate themselves from the movie.

No evidence supports this claim. Below is a point-by point refutation of the claims made.



The opposite is true. The "Chemtrails are geoengineering" hypothesis says that geoengineering has been...
