Assurances and “ifs” and “possibilities” doesn’t make it fact.

The actual Dutch source blog entry:

http://www.wuz.nl/wuzlog/oostelijke%20buurman/page/1/2

Translate using Yahoo’s Babelfish...

Here is the first sentence:

“I got letter mentioned below sent of a friend from Belgium. He had got this letter of its neighbour, purebred Antwerp ‘ moeke’ and it had been aimed to a mother from Moroccan bowl.”

In other words folks...our so-called “Secondary” source is actually the Tertiary source who got it from a “friend” who got is supposedly from a “neighbor”.

In other words...that dog don’t hunt...

Doesn’t make it false either. Falsification would be inherently difficult under the circumstances. That’s why you deploy five decades of listening to people telling truth or lies and use your own best judgment.

Besides, think about it, what if the story was true after all? Any piece of information you are suggesting as proof would instantly reveal the Antwerp mother’s identity with certainty. I have not exposed all the facts I have acquired because I really don’t want to be the person who gets someone hurt or killed just so I can jolly around on FR, especially where there’s absolutely nothing to be gained by it that outweighs the value of an innocent human life.

One of the most difficult things to do is suspend judgment indefinitely, but sometimes it’s just the best thing to do. Like Jimbo says, loose lips sink ships.

Peace,

If you don't like the post, don't bother reading it. There's lots of others.

Some fully sourced and attributed posts are total BS, like the AP "news".
