Remember
when National Geographic won the fake news award for their
sensationalist fake news about the starving polar bear. Well guess who
had to admit they went too far with pushing the climate change agenda?
But what does it matter if everyone sees the story and no one sees the
retraction? Let's explore this interesting model of propaganda and
retraction in today's edition of #PropagandaWatch.

Since I have now annoyed all my friends with my analysis of the Roswell

up against that documentation is the testimony of some people who were
on the scene in 1947. This is based on the documentation we can find
about them and the stories they tell us in
Over the last several days I have received a number of comments,
privately, about my post, “The Decline of Roswell.” What is disturbing
about it is that many people missed the most important part. They

comment. To recap, briefly. Those who follow this blo
Back in 1988, when Don Schmitt and I began our investigation into the
Roswell case, there were no documents available, other than newspaper
articles and a single report from the FBI. The newspaper reports were
less than accurate with misspellings of names, and descriptions of the
debris. The FBI document, which was based on an interview with Major
Kirton (misspelled as Curtan in the FBI report) s
