I don't know what the Hail this means,,,when life made sense I used to watch PBS on "real tv"....NOW??????

I deleted this stuff as I'm trying to find out who and why it was published....

I've never doubted Jon and his reporting.

That does not sound like a legit article, has to be a joke. The dead garter snakes part is extra proof.

Your Sept 8 gag is waaaaaay better then my April 1st bit.

Here’s another hard hitting Jon Rappoport story

Mickey Mouse discovered he was gay in 1973

Caroline13 · 09-08-2023, 03:39 PM

I won't comment on Mickey Mouse, BUT I did meet Jon R at a book signing in l995 in our town on the Oklahoma City Bombing, The Suppressed Truth. He authored the book.

Believe what you do as do I.

I sent the PBS info to my good friend who doesn't miss a beat on TV and is so so high tech, and her comment was "that's a surprise"....

I will, because I don't see how PBS abruptly shutting down would be realistic. An article like this can be written solely to rile people up. Ain't nobody got time for these type of joke articles.

Trying to come up with rhyme or reason why the PBS stuff was published under Jon R's name, sounds like someone or AI of some form is trying to "get him" as he prints info that goes against mainstream stuiff. May never know why and I sent Jon a message asking him what this PBS stuff is all about. The stuff that goes on in this HIGH tech world.

Caroline13 · 09-09-2023, 03:23 PM

OMG, something seemed Off when I received the above from Jon and YES, the spelling of his name, it's Rappaport and whomever did this crap spelled his name differently..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Rappaport

Looking further now I'm confused: I see Rappaport and Rappoport...

The man I've been following around is Jon Rappaport and he's 85.

I see his last name spelled differently, John instead of Jon and one data says he's 43....Good Lord..
