Comment: I have been looking into HIV as the cause of AIDS. I am finding
increasing evidence that there is something very wrong with how we
understand AIDS and that HIV does not cause AIDS. A few sites
helpforhiv.com, aras.ab.ca, aliveandwell.org, rethinkingaids.com just to
name a few. Also there are many books on the subject by people that have
creditable backgrounds. Gallo the creator of how we preceive HIV/AIDS is
not so creditable. Please look into this.

Comment: I know for a fact that a large chunk of the IRS has been moved to
Costa Rica. This bit just came up.

--------------------------------------------------

The IRS seems to have disappeared from Washington, D.C.

There are some "strong" rumors coming to us today that some very major
things are going to begin to happen in our country (and around the world)
starting possibly as early as tomorrow.

These "may" be rumors or they may not be -- only time will tell.

Our researcher just got back from Washington ,D.C., and he confirmed that
the IRS has moved out of 1111 Constitutional Avenue and only security
police are there.

Empty building.

Blow Your Top

Comment: I heard that about 30 years ago the US government actually
brought some kind of gas burners to the arctic and tried to melt the polar
ice cap. They thought it would be good thing. I heard this from my Dad who
said he saw it on Fox news. They were trying to downplay global warming
and cited this as evidence that scientists are generally confused and in
disagreement.

Please help. My Dad believes all the crap they put on Fox.

I'm afraid it's too late for him.

You can still try to warn others, before they suffer the same horrible fate.

Comment: I don't believe this whole story. I am sure there is more to it.
The older boy had ample time to go home and the other boy, it is a hoax.

Comment: While visiting Aruba last week were very surprised by the
comments and the song that has been written about Natalie Holloway and her
mother. The Aruba people have stated that Natalie disappeared previously
in another country while on vacation and her mother spent time there
searching for her. Natalie's mother was seen nightly in the casinos,
restaurants and bars in Aruba while she was looking for her daughter.
They believe is was all staged by Natalie and her mother and that Natlaie
is safe. A taxie driver let our friends listen to the song that is being
played throughout Aruba. How much truth is there to this claim that she
went missing before? The Aruba people are commenting about the USA not
able to convict OJ Simpson or Michael Jackson!

Comment: I remember seeing on TV the Democratic Leadership standing in
front of the Capital Building. There were Pelosi, Feinstein, Kennedy and
the rest. It was in January 2001 shortly after President Bush was sworn
in. They announced to the world on TV that they would do everything in
their power to destroy George Bush as President. I have searched the
internet and cannot find the video or the text for that statement. I'm
beginning to think that I was the only person who saw that broadcast that
day. Could you possibly help me find that quote?

Disney

Comment: walt Disney was something of a facist (or at least, very right
wing). Many of his staff were minorities. Therefore they snuck the sex
jokes into the film as a form of revenge (i.e sex in the lion king, donald
duck calling daffy duck a ngger in the piano-fight scene in Who framed
roger rabbit?).

Sure, but it's strong. It's 666-proof, I believe.

Comment: Dear Snopes.com,

I heard that Prince William and Prince Harry were implanted with biochips
at age 12. Is this true?

Comment: On comparison of various American coin designs, a trend to
deemphasize 'In God We Trust' emerges. It has become smaller, less
prominent and may exhibit a variety of placements. Some, like dimes and
pennies, retain balanced and familiar images on obverse and reverse while
others draw focus to striking portraits or Jefferson's 'Liberty' script.
Where coins once featured the motto prominently in English and Latin, new
coins tend to use one or the other but not both.

Interestingly, the on-edge motto is raised, not recessed. The general
public may consider this a non-issue, but coin collectors understand the
significance; as a 'high point' on the coin, it will be the first to
experience wear. Once circulated, the motto will have a life expectancy
of two to four years; thus, 'E Pluribus Unum; In God We Trust' will, by
virtue of design, be eliminated from American coinage.

You'll note that "Liberty" has also been excluded from the new design. You can thank types such as yourself for that trend.

'E Pluribus Unum' is Latin for 'In God We Trust' ?

That's some serious ignorance.
