^^^^^^^^^^ That was quoting someone. Don't put words in my mouth. What I actually said was:
"It's getting deep... "
I didn't "put words in" your "mouth", I quoted your post and left in your quotation marks. If you had attributed that quote to someone, I would have included their forum name in the quote as well.
One thing I've learned about "mainstream" news media is that the vast majority of it is complete and total horse shit; especially today. Maybe 30 yrs ago it had a very thin thread of truth to it, but that's a HUGE maybe.
I would no more trust any of the paid & controlled propagandists at CNN, MSNBC, NYT and WaPo than I would trust the devil himself. I couldn't give 2 shits what Macleans magazine reported about Scott, or that CHBC News station. Why should I believe anything they say?
They are all lying bastards, for the most part; and I've watched them all closely, lie through their scumbag teeth about practically everything over the past 5 years; especially about the pandemic. They can all go fuck themselves for all I care.
When it comes to the captured news media of today, I have less than ZERO time for it; especially Canadian news media which is among the worst I've ever seen. To my knowledge there is only one "independent" news group in Canada, which receives ZERO funding from the government, or big corporations. It's funded 100% by its viewers.
i have no idea how long Scott has lived in Jamaica, but that has to be one of the absolute worst places for a true "white supremacist" to run away to live. And he's survived there. If he was a "white supremacist", chances are extremely good that he would have taken an axe to his head, in the middle of the night, a very long time ago.
Let's say, purely for argument sake, that Scott was "guilty" of what he's accused of, back in the '80s, or even early '90s. The one thing I've learned about "people" is that they change with time; some for the better, others for the worst. I haven't lived the perfect life and have made my own fair share of bad decisions, in my time; which I deeply regret today and would change if I had a "do over" opportunity.
The Things I Used To Do
However, I don't live in the past. I live in the present and prefer to take people at face value, based on the way they are today, not based on how they may have been 30 years ago. I shared that video because it was created by Jodrey, one of the top breeders in America today, who I have respect for.
I also shared that video because I liked the message & mission. It resonated with me. I've never bought seeds from Scott but I know seed vendors that won't replace seeds that get lost in the mail, or confiscated by Customs Officials, when shipped internationally. Does that necessarily make them "scumbags"?
If Jodrey thought Scott was solid enough to travel all the way to Jamaica to visit his farm, that's worth something to me. I'm not going to trash a guy who I've never met or spoken with, based on mere "hear-say" and fake news media, that was / is most likely more false than true.
All the best to you Longball, and to the MNS Crew! - FF
