So, this guy was willing to desecrate a cemetery in pursuit of an unearned fortune that he thought someone else had desecrated a cemetery in order to hide?  In exactly what allegedly Christian denomination was he raised?

And, as far as Forrest Fenn goes, many people remember him as a kindly old art dealer, selling western and exotic art, cowboy antiques, and native artifacts, as well as a colorful historian of the frontier, kind of like others we all know.  But, I knew Forrest Fenn and I really didn't see so much all that kindly about him.  He was a high toned, overslicked, strutting reseller who cultivated what appeared, on the surface, to be a rugged but folksy populist image.  I thought it was mostly a charade, a carefully developed image he created for himself.  I got nervous talking to him, trying to politely hide my recognition that he really only had marginal expertise in key cultural areas; but, he sure could spin tales and create fantasies, all building his personal mirage and glorifying the stuff he could pick up for less and sell for more  ...way more.  I never could bring myself to believe that he would really be generous enough to bury "gold and jewels worth millions of dollars" for just any old stranger to find, even if it would attract attention and sell his book about where the treasure could be found.  At the end of the day, "exact details other than it purportedly being found in Wyoming have not come to light."

But, perhaps I'm just being too harsh.  He did silently watch, for years, as at least five people died in frenzied pursuit of his alleged treasure, while he was a colorful man about town and stood by selling his books.  There was also a lot of time and risk for rescue and first responder teams who had to respond to those who died and those who almost did.  But, hey, it was only five or so people who died, not two hundred and five thousand.  After all, he never conspired with a hostile foreign power to get elected to high office, gain control of a government, and run a country into the ground; so, maybe I am being too harsh.

Your fabulist tale is just as phony as his was, and your innattention to real facts just as obvious. Our president saved this country from the twin fabulists, Obama and Biden who stopped to taking money from China as their 'legacy, who lied to us about what they did and why'. They sold us out, our natural resources shut down to help our enemies; our industries shut down, our workers betrayed, and our intelligence agencies corrupted, our open forums turned to propaganda from the left. It's all documented; but some are so blinded by their own hatred they willingly march into oppression, and willingly searching for the 'treasure' Democrat socialist/marxist promise in the distant future in exchange for our freedoms.

Just had to go and drag politics into it, huh?

At least get your facts straight if you're going to do that.

On second thought, I clearly wasn't being harsh enough.
