Screen name same initials as the blog. Posts teaser clickbait to a blog that floods the user with popups that hide the text. Classic posting bot.

Sounds like a blog pimp to me.

Um, sure it is. Maybe someone else’s, but still.

The perfect example of Orwell’s mass media deception in practice has been this entire Covid hoax, which has been built on a foundation of lies from the very beginning. At the outset Fauci scoffed at the concept of masks providing any protection from a microscopic virus while being interviewed on 60 Minutes. He wasn’t lying. Numerous scientific studies documented by the CDC proved beyond a doubt, masks are absolutely useless in preventing the spread of viruses. But a few weeks later the covid controllers realized the usefulness of masks as the perfect fear inducing symbol of a fake pandemic and the first step in demanding compliance and obedience by the masses.

Absolutely NAILED it.

“IT’S NOT A LIE IF YOU BELIEVE IT”

Well, that’s BS.

No, it's the English language:

"Oxford English Dictionary, 2nd edn

lie, n. 1

1. a. An act or instance of lying; a false statement made with intent to deceive; a criminal falsehood. Phrase, to tell (formerly to make) a lie. Also, without lie, no lie, truly (often as an expletive in ME. poetry; cf. without fable). In mod. use, the word is normally a violent expression of moral reprobation, which in polite conversation tends to be avoided, the synonyms falsehood and untruth being often substituted as relatively euphemistic."

If you believe it, by definition you can't be stating it with intent to deceive, therefore it is not a lie.

A lie requires two factors, knowing it's a falsehood and stating it with intent to deceive. Absent either of those qualifiers it is not and cannot be a lie.

Getting the wrong answer on an algebra test isn't a lie unless you knew the correct answer and got it wrong anyway.

Greta’s using plastic!!!!!!!

Nah. I’m sure it’s fully biodegradable; sort of like those biodegradable garbage bags they sold about 30 years ago, made from cornstarch. I wonder how people had garbage explode all over their feet with those things. May her box lunch end up on her shoes!

[SaveFerris]

It’s such an act with her 🙄🙄🙄

Also no replies after nearly three hours and 30-odd comments.

>> Everybody needs a first post. This seems appropriate for FR.

I remember mine clear as day. JennysCool set me straight, and JustLori (RIP) gave me a warm welcome. LOL

Thanks :)

That he didn't get an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for Tombstone is an absolute crime.

He was easily the best supporting actor since Claude Rains in Casablanca, and Claude won it.

You really seem to have a wild hair up your ass. You post multiple comments denigrating me and I’m 100% sure you didn’t read the article.

I’ve been writing about freedom, liberty and truth for 15 years, with hundreds of articles posted by Lew Rockwell, ZeroHedge and dozens of other sites.

After seeing someone had linked to my site I came over and saw that Free Republic seemed to have a similar viewpoint to TBP and decided to join.

Isn’t this place for posting articles for discussion, or did I miss something?

[HartleyMBaldwin]

I posted one comment, a simple observation, and that not even addressed to you. Bite me, snowflake.

[metmom]

Doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not. A lie is still a lie.

Believing a lie, doesn’t make it truth and doesn’t make you right.
