2. It must be a multi-generational hoax. Our grandparents and great grandparents knew that if they

started the “greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people”* early enough, we could eventually bamboozle enough hardworking Americans and impose the tyranny of a classless society on good Christian folk. Who knew?

3. In a local historical society paper made up from 100 year old stories

Recycled articles to match dates today...the farmers talked about using their WI windmills to create energy for their homes...this was before the rural electrification during Roosevelt's term. The farmers wanted clean energy for their farms and well water! They were concerned about cars, I believe the paper date was 1909.
