An explainatioin and my apologies

[Astro]

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 Ocala, Florida
