    Come on Gordon what laws do we have here in Aus about truth & politicians. The two words should not be used in the same sentence regardless of which party you support.

    What about debunking Stephen Sindoni, the guy in the interview. He has some seriously weird beliefs.

    What a bona-fide crackpot! Here's a guy who believes he is the reincarnated soul of a geologist, who discovered the 'Hollow Earth' and a missing race of people that lived there. Oh dear.

    Jeez Reschs, where do you find these loonies? ..and more importantly, why do you give their insane 'theories' any credibility at all?

    Most clear-thinking people would read/watch a statement from this dill, and just right him off, as yet another conspiracy theory nut. Unfortunately, reality myopia seems to be a common ailment afflicting a lot of Conservatives lately.

    I came across it by accident and it fits the Thread Title. I did not say it was necessarily true.

    I did say it was an interesting listen.

    If his story was being presented as fiction, then it still would have been a pretty bad story. But it was being presented as the truth. That makes the teller a bold-faced LIAR.

    Herein lies the problem. When the population becomes indifferent about the truth and facts, then unscrupulous individuals are free to sprout any old garbage they feel like, to further their own agenda. Donald Trump and his administration being a very obvious case in point.

    This is true, and it's becoming the norm here too, although I noticed that the WA election is claiming a string of scalps so far.......people so stupid that the thought that these are the best we can find to stand is just plain scary....

    I am wondering if there is any truth to the conspiracy theory that Donald J Trump died a few weeks before the election and was replaced after a bit of 'Nip and Tuck' plastic surgery by Alec Baldwin whose previous impersonations of Trump on the Saturday Live TV show were so well received?

    Surely this person and his entourage are actors out there having a great laugh at the World in General for believing we are seeing the current US President and his administration?
    I stand unequivicably behind everything I say , I just dont ever remember saying it !!

    You might be onto something there, Gordon.

    This is a link to a documentary about Donald Trump that appears to be made in the late nineties. Unfortunately this copy doesn't have credits, so I don't know it's origins. But it is a well-made documentary of Donald Trump's business life story up to the mid-nineties. It is actually very interesting. It's an hour and 20 minutes long, but if you're in any way interested in Donald Trump, (pro or con) it's fascinating stuff.
