• How a small-town auto mechanic peddling a green-energy breakthrough pulled off a massive scam - By Ariel Sabar

This article was featured in One Story to Read Today, a newsletter in which our editors recommend a single must-read from The Atlantic...
Jeff Carpoff was a good mechanic. 

But as a businessman, he struggled. 

In the two decades since high school, he’d lost one repair shop after another, filed for personal bankruptcy, and watched a lender foreclose on the small house in a California refinery town where he’d lived with his wife and two young kids. 

• By 2007, he was 36, jobless, and adrift.
• Yet there, at his life’s lowest, the remarkable happened...

Stirring the stewpot of hate-----DHS Producing Videos Teaching Citizens How To Identify "Radicalized" Conservatives | ZeroHedge

DHS Producing Videos Teaching Citizens How To Identify "Radicalized" Conservatives |

"...The videos were meant to depict different scenarios in which citizens might encounter potentially “radicalized” individuals...

Citizens are then asked to choose what they think 

• Most of the scripted scenarios showcase people with conservative beliefs and values as the radicalized threat. 

 For example, the DHS targeted “suburban Moms” with pro-life beliefs..
...The series also targeted “old high school friends” who believe in “conspiracies” as examples of radicalized citizens in need of bystander intervention.



The video scripts, written under the DHS’s Office of Terrorism and Violence Prevention, was part of an internalized memo circulated on January 29th, 2021, only eight days after Joe Biden entered the White House...
Now, we find that federal agencies are preparing propaganda to teach the public to act as informants, much like the communist Stasi in East Germany, to weed out and persecute liberty minded Americans...

"...Now - whether you're vaccinated or not - watch this to remind yourself how awful 2021 really was, and how thin the veneer of civilization really is. - ALEX BERENSON

• It’s time to start blaming the unvaccinated folks, not the regular folks.

On Twitter, this is called a “supercut,” a quick compilation of short takes from several different videos. 

It runs just under four minutes and has received 42 million views so far. 

It deserves more.
Make yourself watch it, painful as it is.

'''But seeing the venom here doesn’t make forgiveness easy. 

Especially since none of this people have even begun to apologize.
I am not exaggerating when I say seeing the video made me stomach sick. 

I don’t watch much cable news, so I was somewhat insulated from the venom - strange to say, since I was at the heart of it...

So many lies piled upon other lies!-----Professor says ‘junk citations’ have created ‘distrust’ in academic research

Professor says ‘junk citations’ have created ‘distrust’ in academic research - RACHEL LALGIE - UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA

"...According to the article series, a junk citation refers to a reference that is “wrong, irrelevant, misleading, corrupt, uninformative, useless, or purely rhetorical.”
...“People think they can just throw out ‘the research is very clear on this, the evidence is so clear,’ but it is all built on junk citations.”...

The results can be deadly too – Gilley gave the example of a five-sentence 1980 letter in the New England Journal of Medicine that alleged “the development of addiction is rare” when it came to narcotics. 

This letter was widely cited “to support the claim that addiction was rare in patients given opioids,” Gilley wrote, citing the work of four Toronto-based academics.

The letter seemed to shut down debate on the safety of opioids – a problem replicated throughout academia.

“The reason that bad citation practices have become so endemic in academic research is because of the lack of intellectual diversity in the academy,” Gilley wrote in the first article. 

“Since groupthink is so pervasive, any citations that confirm academics’ left-wing biases are rarely double-checked. 

And so junk piles upon junk.”..

CNN Abruptly Ends Interview After Migrant Makes Damning Admission About Title 42 - Sarah Arnold
"...As a CNN reporter strolled the streets near the U.S.-Mexico border, he stopped to ask a migrant, “Were you aware of Title 42 and that they were going to open the border like before the pandemic?”
In response, the migrant said “yes,” telling the reporter that he heard the southern border would be wide open following the Biden Administration’s decision to lift the Trump-era policy and decided to make the trip.
The CNN reporter then abruptly thanked the man and quickly ended the interview...

Their "climate scenarios" are lies?!!
