Conspiranoia

For over 40 years James Randi Zwigert (is this even a REAL NAME?) has
had total control over who and how the testing was conducted, yet
despite all this he has terminated the challenge.

The ONLY REASON why the challenge was stopped is because he lost and
refused to pay.
Apparently, Randi likes to break the rules when it serves him:

"14. This prize will continue to be offered until it is awarded. Upon
the death of James Randi, the administration of the prize will pass
into other hands, and it is intended that it continue in force. "

Great force.....it's over......

where is my MILLION DOLLARS, you LITTLE *NO-NAME* FRAUD

PS: Almost Forgot: Love the IRONY of the *BULLSHIT* sign over Randi's
ugly head....

Lost Cosmonauts

ianbat1 — Fri, 09 May 2008 04:24:44 +0000

I was very taken with a story in a recent Fortean Times 'Lost in Space' about Russia's 'missing' Cosmonauts. I have some thought on this as well as some questions.

The website www.lostcosmonauts.com tells the story of these Cosmonauts in an entirely non-skeptical way, accepting the story as true, based on the recordings of the Judica-Cordiglia brothers. What interests me is whether any third party has ever examined these recordings to verify their content. For example, there is an interview with Gian Battista Judica Cordiglia on the website where they discuss the 'famous' recording of a woman, purported to be a female cosmonaut in a Vostok space ship, burning up on re-entry. In the interview he also mentions that they recorded two men at around the same time. Now this is extra-ordinary stuff, not one mystery cosmonaut but three at the same time. If they actually do have these recordings it would be essential from the point of view of scholarship and correcting the historical record that these recordings be properly examined by experts who could authenticate them. This would include such things as looking at the quality and nature of the recordings, what is being said and how it is being said. Also, magnetic tape from 1961 would most likely be showing signs of deterioration by now, these recordings should be transferred to some more permanent medium to avoid their being lost.

My suspicion regarding the recording was raised when it was revealed that the JC brothers had a sister who spoke Russian - could she have hoaxed the recording? they have not released any recordings of male voices.

On hunting round the web I find a lot of possible information relating to this particular recording, in some places the cosmonaut is identified as Ludmilla Serakovna in others she is Ludmila Tokovy in tandem with her husband Anatoley or Nikolay. Also the date is generally given as May 1961 but in some sources it is dated to 1963. Where is all this information coming from? no sources are given.

This story is currently of great fascination to me. If true it is huge, if not, two Italian brothers have a lot of explaining to do.

Big oil

hawk1948 — Sun, 04 May 2008 22:38:33 +0000

Karl Benz was the German mechanical engineer who designed and in 1885
built the world's first practical automobile to be powered by an
internal-combustion engine.

America's first gasoline-powered automobile was the 1891 Lambert car
invented by John W. Lambert.

Oil historians in the USA give credit for the first modern commercial
oil well to Colonel Edwin L. Drake. His well reached a depth of 22m
(72-ft). It was drilled in “Oil Creek” near the town of Titusville,
slightly east of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA and started producing
oil on August 28,1859. There were no automobiles in those days; the
main market for petroleum was for medicine. It was called Rock Oil and
sold for about $40 a barrel, which is about the same as a barrel of oil
costs today, so it would have been worth a lot of money in 1859.

Iceland has a long tradition of subsistence whaling; whaling of one form or another has been conducted from the island since it became populated more than eleven hundred years ago

whaling has been a part of the Icelandic culture since it was settled by Scandinavians and other Nordic peoples in the 9th century. By 1915, 17,000 whales had been taken from Icelandic waters

In over 1100 years of whaling whose oil, by the way, provided oil for lamps, we haven't exausted the species.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyone want to take a shot at what is going on here? Something is not right here and it is time to do something about it.

117 yrs of autos and 149 yrs of comercial oil.

Mabey we are all being duped and should be asking some different kinds of questions. I find it hard to believe that we have used up the whole global oil supply in this short time frame. Now I hope I am not the only one that is seeing something wrong here.

Geologist Unearths an End-of-Days Plan Built into Modern Religion

Geologist Unearths an End-of-Days Plan Built into Modern Religion

Submitted by B Billy Marse Professional Geologist, attempting to link the 1920 to 30’s Dust Bowl to a preglacial condition, unearthed an End-of-Days plan, a Revelation built into modern society, based on religion. The discovery involved identifying and mapping the 110,000 year rotating earth climate termed Glacial Respiration. This climate switches through patterns, where a long COLD period (100,000-year Glacial Winter) is followed by a short WARM period (10,000-year Global Summer). Traumatic environmental extinction periods caused by switching between Glacial Winter and Global Summer have been tracked by ancient man, and ancient man responded by producing remarkable physical structures for salvation in this life, not the next; pyramids, mountain retreats and raised pillared foundations were constructed. In addition, ancient man invented complex solar calendars able to time Glacial Respiration over the 110,000 year period. The ancient calendars tracked the accumulation of ice in the upper atmosphere and the release of this energy, creating the flood of Noah, Gilgamesh, Ziusudra and the myth of Atlantis. The other traumatic switching event that the solar calendar marked was the rapid drought and sudden reduction in surface vegetation occurring at the beginning of Glacial Winter. This catastrophic drought and reduction in vegetation is a Dust Bowl and was predicted by the Mayan prophecy to occur in 2012.

The altering climate was not completely understood by ancient man, their answer to these events of environmental annihilation and the surviving folklore was to create gods and the practice of worship. Salvation and sacrifice was invented to choose for their god, the sacrificial offering, in hopes of not being personally, naturally selected. Circular Asian and linear Western religions are based on the rotational earth climate of Glacial Respiration. The problem with a modern society governed by environmental religions based on rotational extinction event, leads to the sole question, does a religious prophecy produce its own Revelations? Since, the switching event of the drought has been timed by the Mayans solar calendar to occur in 2012 and described throughout the Bible in metaphors, is there an active group or fraternal society planning to force Global Cooling? The answer is yes, and unfortunately altering earth’s climate turns out to be relatively easy. The psychological components of the 2012 plan have been released and involve both miseducation and an environmental misdirection, regurgitated from the armpit of academia, as Global Warming. The force of Global Warming does occur but at the beginning of Global Summer and not out of the Glacial Respiration sequence. In conclusion the days will soon grow dark, cold and near.

Skewed Results on the LA Times Poll?

Jesse_W_James — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 15:42:05 +0000

Here's something I found this morning and it really makes me wonder. I'll make this short and simple. I came across this LA Times voter poll and voted for my favorite candidate and noticed that Ron Paul's results showed only 3.3% of the vote. I right clicked on that article and clicked view source. After scrolling through the code to the poll results I was shocked to see the results appear to be wrong. Could it be on purpose? Check it for yourself and see what I'm talking about: http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/?vo...

Here's a copy of the poll results and the source code that apparently shows the results don't add up:

If the election were today, who would you vote for?

Suppose There Had Been No Cold War?

A-J — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 05:56:45 +0000

In a 1999 report published in the recently released French government UFO files, they come to the conclusion that UFO’s are probably extraterrestrial in nature and that the American government probably has at least one of these ships in custody.

An interesting point they bring up is that of the cover-ups. Why not go public with this information? The document states that if the government had gone public with UFO information in the ’40’s or ‘50’s, it would have meant total chaos and probably the collapse of the United States. This because the first question journalists would have asked is: “if they are hostile, can you protect us?” The answer, obviously, would have been “No”. The public would have panicked. Congress would have asked “Why, when we give you budgets of millions of dollars, and great minds, can you not protect us?” (note: Geipan’s conclusions, not mine.)

This brought me into an interesting line of thought. Now I would like to state right away that I am by no means a UFO researcher. I enjoy the topic and I also believe they are real and of an extraterrestrial origin (well, at least a lot of them are).

The train of thought is this: Suppose there had been no cold war? Suppose the cold war was a smoke screen; something big in which a few countries played a part in, a deception to hide a dangerous truth?

Let’s assume Roswell really happened (I’m not saying it didn’t, I’m just not looking for an argument on this point as it’s irrelevant). Suppose it was discovered the ship was a scout from another planet. And suppose it was hostile. Then what was it looking for? Probably a reason to invade. So the first question is why invade?

What reason could an alien civilisation possibly have for invading us?

1- Colonization.

Ah, the classics! This one makes no sense whatsoever. I’m six feet tall while my wife is five feet tall (I’m actually giving her an extra half-inch here…). This can be really annoying at times. I find the counters in the kitchen are too low; I have to bend my back to cook. She finds them too high and has to tiptoe a lot. She keeps calling me every time she needs something on the second shelf…

Our world (at least our Western world) is built for people who are about five feet six inches tall. How tall is ET? If everything is too high, or too low, then he might want to start by razing our houses.

And do you really believe ET’s electric razor will plug into a 120 volt socket? And what about toilet facilities?

The main problem with the colonization scenario is that ET would have to start off by destroying, then cleaning everything before building. Much simpler to build on an uninhabited planet, don’t you think?

2- Slavery

ET needs slaves, so he comes to Earth, hoards us into space ships in order to work in mines. Cheap labour. Sure, but are we a good build for any of ET’s tools? And what does ET feed us? Does he have any kind of food that we can digest without being very sick or dying? Seems to me it would be easier to create their own race of slaves. Or use machines…

3- Predator

ET likes hunting. He wants to come over and hunt us for the sport. Well, there’s not much we would be able to do against that. But why bother sending scouts ahead? Wouldn’t it be more sporting to simply come over and see what’s there?

4- Natural resources

ET wants what we have. This makes a lot more sense. ET attacks the military. Destroys major cities. Leaves some people to do the manual work and some people to feed them. All the machinery exists and all the slave labour is in place.

The logistics involved mean many years of planning. You need to keep some power plants active. You need to keep some people to work them. You need to keep some farms to feed the workers, and people to work on the farms.

Now if Roswell or some other crash happened in the ‘40’s and the US figured the aliens were hostile, what would be the best, the only line of defence, considering the technology of the times? A doomsday device.

You give nuclear technology to another major power and build as many nukes as you can. Say enough to blow up the planet fifty times. When ET comes back, you tell him: if you launch an attack, we irradiate the planet. This way ET has no access to the natural resources he came to get. Personally, I’d rather die this way than live as a slave to ET or be killed, matter-of-factly, by his weapons.

So while ET is figuring out his next move, we can advance our own weaponry in order to eventually be able to fight him. This would take time. Perhaps a hundred years. Until we built something like a particle beam weapon. Like the SDI or what the Soviets developed in the 1970’s. With a particle beam weapon, nukes become obsolete and we can shoot down ET any time.

Problem after that is leaving the planet. How do we send people out in space without being shot down by ET?

Anyway, in this scenario, a cold war would be set up between the two super powers in order to fool the population and to justify spending billions of dollars in weapons that, they tell us, have never been meant to be used in the first place…

Personally, I can think of no better reason (except stupidity and arrogance) for building so many nukes.

Do I believe this is what actually happened? No. Do I believe it’s a possible scenario? Yes.
