  1. Just goes to show the power of confirmation bias huh? What I saw was Packman asking a a valid question about Ventura's interaction with Jones, and Ventura clear as day saying that he was a publicity whore who'd stoop to any depths provided he got the chance to promote his book. Ventura's claim to be powerless in deciding which shows to accept was particularly pathetic.

  2. Yeah but it's not just quantity - it's quality. He could predict the weather and the interest rates, and the next oscar winner and get them all right, but if his only wrong thing was to say that there's a new world order and we'd better take up arms right away, then his one wrong massively counters all the rights. He's a dangerous lunatic.

  3. I'm going to have disagree with that. I would certainly say that a frighteningly large number tick some or all of those boxes, but by no means most.

  4. Do you really think so? I agree that there may be a demographic that thinks as he does, but I hope that there are very many more who are more informed.

  5. And you claim that based upon what evidence please?

  6. And whilst Ventura is eulogising about Mexico, he forgets to mention the massive drug wars that are going on there,and the daily terror that millions of Mexicans experience. Typical white tourist trying to appear like some kind of native, earth mother type.

  7. And the factthat he talks complete nonsense about a subject he SHOULD understand - the Vietnam war, cancels that respect.

  8. To say nothing of the problems ay army would have maintaining a supply line half the world away, fighting on the enemy's home turf, in jungle. Compare that to fighting on home soil, in an age of satellite recon, drone strikes, hi tech weapons, and terrain and infrastructure emminently suited to modern warfare. It really is pie in the sky to imagine that American militia could be any more than a very prolonged irritation. But I supppose te real battle would be political in any case.
