Anoesis News is just another fake news site, so Eddie would make a fortune from the gullible idjits out there!I’m sure they would buy the insanity of a pizza joint being the center of a massive child porn ring with tunnels in the basement, even though it doesn’t have a basement!

I think the gullibility of the public can be accurately measured by the number of voters who voted for Hilary Clinton.

Mr. Eddie is going to need a bigger computer to get an accurate count and a PHD mathematician or two, or three or four . . . or five . . .

Looks like a sound business model, low overhead and production costs, affordable cost structure that still allows for a good profit margin, large market. It all adds up.

Another person has just been arrested for threatening Newtown parents saying that their kids are still alive. Lot of nuts out there.

Like any boater, Eddie is just riding the wave for as long as it lasts. Probably about another half dozen news cycles, if that.

These are the same people who believed that Obama was going to take over Texas (even though it’s in the United States) and was stockpiling military supplies for the Chinese in empty Walmarts connected by tunnels. And the sad thing is that when it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t occur to them to stop listening to the people who convinced them of it in the first place.

I mean, if “Hillary Clinton is running a pedo ring out of a pizza shop” doesn’t set off your crackpot alarm, what will?
.
And the guy who went to the pizza place with the gun gave himself up when he saw that it was just a pizza place. That makes him MORE sensible than Michael Flynn Jr, who was working for Trump.

I know of several online “news services” that sell their “intelligence and analysis” to gullible readers for exorbitant subscription fees.
.
These sites cater to both the Left and the Right. Although the alt-right sites tend to have carry more fake news stories, they by no means have a monopoly on BS ! Some of the progressive blogs are just as bad.
.
Many of the business oriented news sites are simply rehashes and repostings of existing news stories and opinions – digested and dumbed down for their corporate readers.
.
Plagiarism and posting without giving proper attribution are par for the course.
.
But : still hear people say: " Well, it was on Facebook and YouTube, so it must be true ! "
Or worse: " It was on Fox News and they always give you the real facts ! "
.
At least Capt. Eddie is honest. He’s doing it to make money !

Perhaps the ongoing political drive to reduce the importance and funding of public education is finally have tangible consequences?

So, I assume that you read that on a fake news site. Since most of what you have posted here is easily found on various fake news sites

If your argument to believe lies is "both sides do it.’ You’ve already lost the argument.
If you
believe everyone lies all the time, you’ve already lost your mind.
No one lies more than Donald Trump and the Republican Party. Sure, the Democrats could do better, but they are damned if they do and damned if they don’t by the Republicans.
What’s really crazy
is
all
the working stiffs that have been conned by their gods of wealth into thinking higher taxes for working stiffs has nothing to do with the rich paying little to know taxes. Even worst, the billion dollar corporations taking taxpayer money in subsidies they don’t need, but have gotten so used to planning in their budget, they just can’t stop.
Here’s to the electoral college doing the right thing and saving us from this soon to be all too real nightmare. Soon you may have a nightmare and rather stay in it then wake up.
Must say
it’s a masterful Con,
To make people despise poor people struggling to make a living and feel sorry for rich people that, well, haven’t had to suffer anything. Common, time to bring back the tax codes of the 50’s, not the lynches.

Remember those b&w films of exploding two-story house and pine trees bending back and forth in a nuclear blast? That was what Area 51 was before it was made a secret test site for aircraft designs and home for alien bodies that used to be hidden at Wright Patterson in a hanger that has always served as a parts warehouse and has only one guard to prevent theft, not an army to prevent photographing aliens who have never been there. For those who believe anything. The saying on base for getting a part is “visit the aliens”.

WaPo published an article that did not name any sites. One of their sources listed both fake sites & the more legitimate sites that linked to thse stories, such as Drudge. WaPo has added an editor’s note that some sites were complaining about being on that list (that wasn’t published by WaPo) & that some sites had been taken off that list.
.
What you’re claiming is a bunch of phonie bologna. It’s unsuprising that you struggle to understand fake vs fact.

Ignorance and stupidity are two separate human conditions. Unfortunately, both these regrettable conditions are too often found in single individual. But, alas, just one of these conditions could have resulted in a vote for Donald Trump which, I believe, may resulted in his election.

Thank you, President Elect Trump, for validating those theories.

It is a huge area. The test site for the nuclear effect is miles from the aircraft test site and off limits to all. Still, it is barly “hotter” than Trinity. The bomb tested was fission, not fusion. Workers are flown in and out daily with proper exposure badges. It is different parts of the same “Area”.
