Having read your postings I do not believe that your contention is rational.
Our perspectives are different. I do not usually believe in conspriacy 
theories and prefer to determine things on a rational factual basis.
However your perspective appears different for example you appear to believe
it credible that the US Federal Government is surveiling its populus with 
Black Helicopters.

This is another conspiracy theory. I would suggest you research some _facts_
first. There is no _evidence_ of deliberate fraud. The _evidence_ actually
suggests the contrary. The _evidence_ also shows that the story was planted
by organisations with a _financial_interest_ in destroying lynx habitat.

I would suggest you find a better source of evidence than a dodgy story in the
Washington Times. Good heavens man even _I_ know of its reputation and
I am on the other side of the world!
