What I don't understand is how doing nothing - no board, no publications, no activity, virtually no membership - could be considered "operating" so as to persuade the IRS that the OAS deserved 501(C)(3) status. Maybe the IRS was so burned by the issue of excessive scrutiny of conservative groups that they just let anything through, or maybe Tony's revolutionary society sounded so feeble nobody cared.

His entire career has been funded with gummint money. Lots of classified work, all funded by taxpayers. Also looks like he's spent a lot more time functioning as a PhB (Pointy-Haired Boss) than as a genuine PhD researcher.<br /><br />Classified spook work is highly compartmentalized; that puts up very high barriers to external peer review.

I used my full name to post on WUWT but that was not good enough for him, he started to post web images of me and those images encouraged his faithful to make fun of my appearance - except it was not me it was another Australian sharing my name. <br /><br />Using his vast research skills he extrapolated my business name which is used in my email address and attributed it to someone on the very fringe of my industry. <br />The joke is that when I went to my namesake's facebook page to inform him that his images and name were being dealt with in a defamatory manner I discovered that he had exactly the same stance as me on everything from climate science to Australian / Global politics and religion. Everything! We were philisophical dopplegangers. The major difference was that his writing skills, wit and wisdom are far superior to mine.
