Again, my apologies for the extremely sporadic posting. Family-related commitments and general drama have kept me away too long, but we're back on track. Without further ado...
Apologies
Ghostbusters: Ed and Lorraine Warren Part I
Ghost hunters like the legendary Harry Price and Most Haunted star Derek Acorah want to capture evidence of the afterlife, and perhaps get famous while they're at it. Ghostbusters, on the other hand, actually try to de-ghostify homes and businesses by finding out what the ghost(s) or demons want, then helping them or banishing them.... Continue Reading →
Conspiracy Monday: The Ballad of Butler County
spaceTo be fair, the story of Debra Hunter Pitts can't really be called a conspiracy theory. The proper designation would be "unadulterated bullshit".She waited many years to tell her tale, and when the time was right, she selected only the most unimpeachable information outlets: Rabid anti-Zionist broadcaster Greg Szymanski, and conspiracy researcher Wes Penre (founder...

Psychic Detectives: Addendum
I mentioned in Psychic Detectives: Part I that Uri Geller claimed he had worked with the FBI. The FBI denies it. But Geller has indisputably been involved with crime-solving on a smaller scale, and it would be interesting to see how successful he was. Geller is primarily a telepath and a psychokinetic (think Carrie, minus... Continue Reading →
Wednesday Weirdness Roundup
"Hi, my name is Bill and I'm the AntiChrist." A website called A True Church declares that Bill W.'s 12 steps came from Satan, and that Bill W. is the "master deceiver" of Revelations 12:9 because he was "heavily influenced by demons", fascinated with ouija boards, seances, psychics, etc. An Unlikely Prophet, Alvin Schwartz's 1997...

Apologies…
for the unannounced hiatus. Truther drama, spring weather, and a kick-ass new Brompton bike have been devouring my time. I should be able to fold the bike as efficiently as this guy does, but that's just not happening yet...I look more like Lucille Ball trying to be an aerospace engineer. It's sad.Anyway, we'll be back... Continue Reading →
Psychic Detectives Part IV: Other “Notables”
Part I: Intro Part II: Dorothy Allison and Noreen Renier Part III: Sylvia Browne, Psychic Clown Arthur Price Roberts Roberts was one of America's first psychic detectives. Little is known about him, the main source of information being Frank Edwards' book Strange People (Lyle Stuart, 1986). Edwards reports that Roberts remained illiterate throughout his life...

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...
