THE MYSTERIOUS WORLD. HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE? #1.

If you are the Type of Person who likes GHOST STORIES, TALES OF ALIEN VISITATION, LEGENDARY MONSTERS etc, AND OTHER SUCH  STAPLES OF POPULAR FICTION, OLD TIME RADIO SHOWS, FEATURE FILMS, AND OF COURSE T.V., YOU ALMOST CERTAINLY HAVE COME ACROSS DISCLAIMERS LIKE:

-  "BASED ON ACTUAL EVENTS."

-  "ACCORDING TO WITNESS TESTIMONY."

-  "REPORTED BY RELIABLE PERSONS, WITH

    NO REASON TO LIE."

-  "THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COULDN'T ALL BE WRONG."

     AND SO ON...

The Problem is, you have almost no way of knowing the Accuracy or the Truth Contained Within these Statements.  You Hear the Characters, (or the Witnesses, if it is some form of Documentary), relate information that seems Genuine and Sincere, but is, in Fact, Unreliable Dialogue promoting a Particular Point of View.

This could lead to an Individual Making a Decision Based Upon Factors that have been placed within the Content of the Story, encouraging them to be less OBJECTIVE, and MORE ACCEPTABLE OF SHODDY, UNRELIABLE, AND INADEQUATE ANALYSES OF THE SUBJECT MATTER, THAT CANNOT STAND UP TO PROPER SCRUTINY. (WHICH, IN MANY WAYS, MIRRORS THE STRATEGY OF POLITICIANS RUNNING FOR OFFICE.  HOWEVER, YOU CAN READ ABOUT THAT ON OTHER PAGES OF THIS WEBSITE.)

#1.  GET THE REAL STORY-  Researching the Paranormal, to find information that has A Direct Relationship or Bearing on the Truth of the Given Legend or Myth, is not always easy.  The Lack of Supporting Evidence on Many Claims Leads Some Adherents or Believers to MANUFACTURE, CREATE, OR EMBELLISH INFORMATION AND DATA THAT LENDS CREDENCE TO THEIR CLAIMS. This can become more Prevalent Depending on the # OF TIMES IT HAS BEEN RETOLD OR REPUBLISHED, WITH EACH SUCCEEDING "AUTHOR," ALTERING THE STORY TO REFLECT THEIR PERSONAL BELIEFS, AGENDA, OR PERSPECTIVE AUDIENCE.

For Example, Researching the BERMUDA TRIANGLE LEGEND IS PERHAPS THE MOST TIME CONSUMING, WITH THE NUMBER AND TYPE OF DISAPPEARANCES VARYING BETWEEN AUTHORS. Explanations for the Losses run from the Mundane and Commonplace, to the Bizarre, Irrational, and quite frankly, Stupid. 

However, the BIGGEST OBSTACLE TO OVERCOME IN VERIFYING THE TRUE NATURE OF THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE MYTH, IS FINDING THE ORIGINAL SOURCE MATERIAL THAT PROVIDED THE INITIAL INFORMATION REFERENCED FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL EVENT.

Dereliction of duty. CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE STEVE SEVIGNY, MD.

Dear David,

We learned yesterday that the office of  Florida’s Commissioner of Agriculture didn't bother to do background checks on concealed carry permit requests for a year. A staffer couldn't log in to the system, so they just didn't bother.

 

This is not the way government should work. Please join me in demanding that Adam Putnam resign immediately.

 

This failure has endangered the lives of residents and visitors of Florida. We also know that Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam failed to ensure the duties and responsibilities of his office were properly executed.

 

Commissioner Putnam has bragged about being, “A proud NRA sellout.” During his tenure Florida has experienced two of the most terrible mass killings in recent memory at Pulse and Parkland. He remains proud of his commitment to the NRA, and he has honored that commitment to make it easier for the gun manufacturers to drive profits up while our loved ones are terrorized and killed in our communities.

 

Join me in calling on Adam Putnam to resign immediately.

 

We must also have a thorough investigation of this situation, auditing the permits that were issued and also who knew what, when they knew it, and what did they do about it. At what point did Governor Rick Scott become aware? Attorney General Pam Bondi? Did either of them take serious action to rectify the situation or did they assist Commissioner Putnam in his efforts to obfuscate and protect his electoral viability for his campaign for Governor?

 

Whether we are speaking of US Congress, state Constitutional offices, or municipal elected officials, we should be holding people in these positions and seeking them to a higher standard. We should demand accountability and transparency, and we certainly shouldn't offer promotions to those that have demonstrably failed to perform the duties of their office.

 

I urge Commissioner Putnam to do the right thing and resign immediately.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Steve

Learning from history. CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE KEN HARBAUGH.

David,

This morning the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of Ohio’s practice of purging registered voters from our voter rolls.

We should be learning from history, not repeating it.

As a nation, we are stronger when MORE of us participate in our democracy. That starts at the ballot box. We should be making it easier -- not harder -- for folks to vote.

Instead, Ohio is silencing the voices our government should want to hear. In her dissent, Justice Sotomayor wrote that these voter purges “disproportionately affected minority, low-income, disabled, and veteran voters."

Under our current law, veterans can be eliminated from the voting rolls after as few as two missed elections. Our military men and women put their lives on the line to defend our freedom. They deploy to the four corners of the earth. They miss birthdays and holidays and, yes, even Election Days. And this is how we repay them?

Now, more than ever, 2018 is a year to fight back. No matter how the other side might try to silence us, we have to show up. We have to vote. We have to bring our friends and neighbors to vote.

We have to make our voices heard.

In service,

Ken

I AGREE. WE SHOULD ALSO MAKE SURE THAT OUR ELECTION OFFICIALS SHOW UP AND DO THEIR JOBS. OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT IS THE RESULT OF A BOGUS AND FRAUDULENT 2016 ELECTION. VOTES DON'T MEAN MUCH IF SOMEONE IS RIGGING THE RESULT. - DAVID.
