Using a unique psycholinguistic technique he calls "ThoughtPrint Decoding" to "read between the lines" of people’s statements–called “the cutting-edge of forensic science" by expert investigators–Hodges ultimately discovers the truth.

Seriously, they can’t even be bothered to reword it a little bit, they just cut and paste. But wait till you hear Hodges' awesomely idiotic argument:

Hodges says in his analysis of Obama's U.N. address that the president "continues to reference attacks on America and our Constitution."

Obama said in the speech: "The attacks on our civilians … were attacks on America … we will be relentless in tracking down the killers and bringing them to justice."

Hodges writes that Obama "again confesses his illegal presidency was an attack upon America, upon justice. So he promises to relentlessly track down his symbolic killing – destruction of – the Constitution."

Obama said "the attacks of the last two weeks are not simply an assault on America. They are also an assault on the very ideals upon which the United [States] was founded.

Here, Hodges writes, Obama is "once more alluding to his constitutional attack. He can’t say it enough."


He's just literally putting words in there that have nothing to do with what Obama's talking about in order to make up his own story. And he's had it published?

This is worrying in that they don't seem to be afraid of how messed up they look anymore to the general public: They feel that they have enough people who agree with them that they can act nuts and get support for it.

The original WND article is here.

What brought that on? this. Original posting here.

Another example of this guy's lunacy here.

The WND is unencumbered by facts.

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?

7.4 nuts!

"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History

"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini
