THREE KINDS OF LIES commentary by Bart Pearston bart.pearston@publicnewsonline.com
Back in May of 2012, I remember Facebook was offering an IPO for about $35 a share. The “experts” the week before predicted the price was overvalued and the stock lost $50 Billion that summer because so many people believed their “statistics’. Well, the stock just passed $94 a share this week based on global popularity explosiveness. Imagine investing $35,000 (1,000 shares) 3 years ago and it now being worth $94,000 after a 2015 that has actually shown a loss for all three major indices. A 175% profit. The primary reason: investors Bart Pearston believed the scare stats. I’m sure they feel like Chicken Little now.

Can they actually call a Nobel Physicist like Giaever a “denier” when he has scientific evidence and statistics to support his statements? The best advice I can give anyone, as “Deep Throat” told Woodward and Bernstein in the Watergate Scandal, is to “Follow the Money”. This is especially true when it involves the government. When I hear those like Joe Bastardi submit reams of evidence and write columns like “All this for .01 degrees?” and is slanderously and summarily accused of “meteorological malpractice” by extreme partisan groups like “Think Progress”, I cringe. My college debate team prof told me, “the use of epithets is the waving of the white flag by the other side”.
