Speaking of that, he still believes that his screeds against the WEF only included that “non consequential item”, in reality, as others noted, almost all of it was pure bullshit, I will only say that as an example, this accusation:

> [@Why do people say the World economic forum is pushing socialist views?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-do-people-say-the-world-economic-forum-is-pushing-socialist-views/997610/15):
>
> It’s also a full employment program for the region’s prostitutes and escorts.

Is not what more sensible reporting would do, that is the fallacy of guilt by association, The right wing and conspiracy cites never bother to report about the WEF not approving about that, nor the fact that the original sources only could point at some attendees doing that… in a country where escorts and prostitutes are legal, and never mind that no organizers have been found to be involved, that accusation from Sam is a big fallacy as the Superbowl and other big meets have similar issues.

Seeing how inept Sam is by identifying his sorry sources, I will not be surprised that he will not remember who told him that about the WEF.
