I was going to say - waving a bit of paper in the air and speaking authoritatively does not make something true.

Surely it would be too bothersome to search for and verify these occurrences yourself. Ignorance is bliss.

What search terms would you suggest to verify your claims about this kook and his 'receipts'?

Try searching the words the man in the video is saying. Seems obvious. But, oh well. You can only lead a horse to water...

How would that help establish the veracity of his 'receipts'? You've taken all this on faith without ever actually seeing the 'receipts' yourself?

I read the news articles, from various sources. I trust you can not only find the same articles, but do your own due diligence. It's quite sad that this simple task is seemingly so difficult for you lot.

But you haven't seen the 'receipts' yourself. Gotcha.
