Yes it is. Especially these eight months. A daily mail article says that a Japanese company has landed an object on the moon. Something I hadn't been aware of.

They have great food, internet, exercise equipment and air conditioning. Plus, at the end, you get to say you stubbed your toe once and pull 95% of your salary for the rest of your life. 8 months of work ain’t so bad.

Yeah George H.W. Bush flew secretly in the belly of an SR-71 to Iran to keep Carter from
releasing the hostage. You realize how impossible that is due extreme heat and lack of oxygen.

The operative, who has chosen to remain anonymous, claims to have worked for a group of Republican insiders who were determined to prevent Carter from winning a second term in the White House. The group, which he refers to as "The Plotters," was made up of a handful of powerful Republican politicians and influential businessmen.

The Plotters' plan was simple - to create a crisis that would discredit Carter and make him unelectable. The operative claims to have been part of a team that orchestrated a series of events designed to erode public confidence in the president and his administration.

According to the operative, the first step was to undermine Carter's foreign policy by secretly supporting the Iranian hostage crisis. The Plotters believed that the longer the crisis dragged on, the more damage it would do to Carter's reputation as a strong leader.

The next step was to launch a propaganda campaign against Carter's domestic policies. The operative claims to have been involved in spreading false rumors about the president's health, suggesting that he was too old and frail to lead the country effectively.

5:48 is truly a moron

"What happened next Mr. Barnes has largely kept secret for nearly 43 years. Mr. Connally, he said, took him to one Middle Eastern capital after another that summer, meeting with a host of regional leaders to deliver a blunt message to be passed to Iran:"

So Barnes and Connally went to several Middle East capitals to relay a message and there were no leaks for the middle East?

That makes at least 7 to 14 potential leakers, if not more. How is that going to be kept secret?


Barnes comes out 43 years later, when most of the people alive then, are dead. Very
convenient for him.
