So, folks...If you want to see your crazy ideas publicized,

Just send them to Claude Taylor the Twitterer. Just make up a story about being connected somehow to some secret through your connections to some agency, then concoct a story that sounds too good to be true and send it to Claude. You need to have links to something, see...

You'll become one of his "multiple sources with links to..." and he'll tweet it out for all to see, whether it has any basis in fact or not.

Apparently, Claude doesn't bother to verify his sources, and takes everyone's mental meanderings as truth.

And who knows? You could try the same trick on Louise Mensch. Maybe you can become one of her sources, too.

Happy hoaxing!

The most entertaining defense of those two chaos clowns is when someone points out one or two things Claude and Mensch get right out of, say, 150 things they claim to have scooped.

They're like fortune tellers, or horoscope writers. All they need is a tiny grain of accuracy and gullible people will see what they want to see.

demonstrates how weak his unnamed "sources" really are. Same thing with Louise Mensch. They mention "sources" all the time, but I suspect most of them are just random people sending them nonsense, or they don't exist at all and are just their imaginations working overtime.

I can't believe that anyone is still reading their nonsense and reposting it.
