Sylvia Browne, Psychic Clown
Psychic Detectives Part III: Sylvia BrowneI'm willing to give Noreen Renier the benefit of the doubt when it comes to honesty. Maybe she simply isn't as gifted as she thinks she is, and is sloppy when it comes to doing follow-ups.But Sylvia Browne won't be getting any such slack. She is a bald-faced liar and...

Another Fun-Filled Friday Night with TrutherBitch
It's quite obvious that TrutherBitch is racist, but this is low even for her... "UK Schools Stop Teaching the Holocaust Because It Offends Muslims!!" This is a hoax spread by bogus emails, of course. Snopes set the record straight a couple of years ago, and the BBC dealt with it last year.
Wednesday Weirdness Roundup
Someone or something is using UV rays to "execute" all the white folks. Whites must leave the planet by 2012 or they're toast, literally. This seems to be a variation of the (satirical?) conspiracy theory/hoax that a deranged Ohio cult calling itself Yacub 7 Ali has trained its sun-worshipping disciples to eliminate the white population...

Psychic Detectives Part II: Dorothy Allison and Noreen Renier
Dorothy AllisonUntil her death in 1999, Allison enjoyed a fairly solid reputation as a psychic detective, despite her many exaggerated claims. This diminutive woman from New Jersey employed astrological charts and psychometry in her attempts to locate missing people, often over the phone, beginning in the late '60s. She claimed she assisted law enforcement in... Continue Reading →

Uri Geller, the Enemy of All Flatware, claimed he worked with the FBI, which has never been confirmed. Jeanne Dixon, arguably the world's most famous psychic next to Nostradamus and Edgar Cayce, claimed that she tried to warn... Continue Reading →
Another Fun Friday with TrutherBitch: “LOOK UP!!”
TrutherBitch seems to go into warp drive with the scare emails on Friday nights. In addition to her emails on the conspiracy to spread Avian Flu via vaccines, the Danish dude who supports Stephen Jones' nanothermate theory, and of course Greek Irish dancers, there was this mess: YIYE! what a world we are living in!... Continue Reading →
Wednesday Weirdness Roundup
The weirdest, most confusing website I've seen in a looong time: Lika Diplomat (AKA Lika Valentino, AKA the Queen of Iraq). Badly mangled English + conspiranoid rants + incoherent woman who seems to think she deserves a place on the world stage = WTF?. (Please, don't visit if you're epileptic - those flashing clowns will... Continue Reading →
Where is that Mock Turtle?
I'm getting a lot of hell from Truther friends for not blindly accepting the latest *PROOF* from Stephen E. Jones. Some days, I just sit around and wait for the Mock Turtle to show up.
Two Cases of Satanic Ritual Abuse, 20 Years Later
How have claims of Satanic ritual abuse held up over the past two decades? Generally, not well. There have been retractions, apologies, and debunkings in many of the high-profile cases of the '80s and '90s. And I think we can learn a lot from how the accusations were handled then, compared with how they look... Continue Reading →
