Subject: An explainatioin and my
apologies
Dear Joyce and Dave and friends of the Power Hour,
I have been
informed that I should not have posted the Iraqi baby eater
story to
this list because it was inappropriate and "garbage" and that the
Power
Hour is about exposing the truth.
Kindly allow me a few words of
explaination. That is precisely why I posted
it - so everyone could
see that it is indeed garbage and to expose it so
that the truth may be
known.
That particular story was posted on What Really Happened
yesterday, one of
the most highly visited websites on the Internet, and
although I have have
not personally communicated with the website's owner,
Mike Rivero, I would
assume that is why he also posted it. To expose it as
dangerous garbage.
We all know how quickly Internet rumors
spread. I personally believe -
although I have no proof - that the
baby eater article may be sinister
black-ops and the writer put a sly
disclaimer on it saying it was "satire"
to protect himself - but knowing
full well that some other sick idiot might
read it, grab it, perform a
quick cut and paste job - deletely the
disclaimer - and then start
passing it on as fact. This is how Internet
rumors and so-called
urban legends get started. There are plenty of gullible
people out there
that would believe such a story like this, especially after
the fabricated
incubator stories of 1991. Sure, we all know those stories
are faked,
but think of how many people there are who do not possess the
knowledge and
information we do, and who probably still accept the 1991
incubator stories
as a fact. Now that is a truly scary thought.
I'm appalled and
disgusted by this story as much as any of you are. My
purpose for
posting it was to bring it to everyone's attention so that it
could be
nipped in the bud and stopped dead in it's tracks. The best way to
stop
rumors and misinformation is to expose them far and wide.
If my
intentions have been misconstrued, I profusely aspologize to everyone.
I'm
not a secret government disinformation agent or provocateur and I have
no
devious hidden agendas. I don't play games, I'm up front with
everyone
about my beliefs and opinions and I tell people what I think. Even
if people
disagree with me - which is fine, and many people do - they
usually respect
my honesty. I take great personal pride in being
honest and maintaining my
credibilty. That's all I have, I value it more
than anything else, and I
will defend it to the end.
For what ever
it's worth, I've been following Joyce and Dave's work since
I996 when I
first received a copy of their Gulf War video which helped me to
start
seeing through all the lies and deception. Joyce and Dave have
helped
open my eyes to many other acts of government corruption and
deception and I
thank God for leading me to them. I consider them as
trusted friends and my
personal teachers who have educated me and raised my
awareness on many
important issues over the years.
I'm a disabled
veteran and I strongly support Joyce and Dave's work and
listen to the
Power Hour every day. I stand shoulder to shoulder with them
in their
committment and determination to support and defend all of our
veterans -
and exposing the truth. We may not agree on everything, but
there is
no quarrel on these core beliefs.
I sincerely apologize if I have
offended anyone by trying to expose garbage
and trash for what it is. I
believe it's better to know about something - no
matter how awful it is -
so that if an awful rumor such as this ever should
get started, we know
where it came from and can immediately dismiss it for
what it is.
I
assure you I would never intentionally do anything to discredit Joyce
or
Dave or the Power Hour or any of it's efforts as I have nothing but
the
highest respect for them and everyone on this list. If anyone believes
I
have used poor judgement, I can accept your opinions and humbly
acknowledge
them. I would only ask for your kind forgiveness. I have been
guilty of
using poor judgement in the past, but fortunately I keep learning
from my
mistakes by the Grace of God.
Regardless of what your final
decision is, I will continue to support Dave
and Joyce and the Power
Hour.
Respectfully yours,
Warren Gammel
