Topic: The Debunking Thread

[Agent : Orange]

Problem here is that reading "The Dancing Wu Li Masters" doesn't give one a Ph.D. in Physics.  Quantum physics is the new buzzword for the current breed of hoaxsters and charlatans.  It gives me a real headache to listen to these jackasses when they start going into an explanation of quantum mechanics.  Hey, I studied physics at the Ph.D. level and had to bail out because I couldn't master the math and methodology but some wannabe like David Sereda or this guy Paul Von Word can give lessons to CERN and Nobel prize winners.  Oy vey...

What was your area of expertise? I'm working on my Ph.D in astrophysics.

  It's almost like a Christopher Guest-type of parody. Everything about him is just...creepy.

I like the extremely serious tone with the cheesy, horror-movie soundtrack. And then, fire up the tympanies, Zarathustra! Ed 'Surfer-Dude' Dames special-effect-walks onto the screen. The peroxide bob just kills it for me. Can you believe people paid money for this?

    If people are paying for this...then our society really deserves the "kill shot". What a joker. An absolute kook...

    The more I think about it...Shame on Art for giving this guy anything more than one appearance.

It's the Ed-meister, looking like a surfer boy. Just how much acid do you think he dropped?

Mad as the proverbial hatter.

Speaking of Ed Dames, for a man who says he was in the military so long, it's amazing how he uses the terms "Army GUYS" and other seriously non-military terms.  Say he was in one HITCH - as enlisted, not an officer - he might, but "Army GUYS"?  That's like an ROTC dropout

I always wonder about that, too. He lists himself as retired, meaning he was in for a minimum of 20 years. He retired as a major? Must've pissed someone off, or they forced him out.

I always laugh at his pseudo-military-speak. "Roger," is his answer to many questions, like he thinks he's on some super-secret spy mission, and not on a phone line with George Noory. If he really bumbled around, sprouting "Roger that!" and "Negatory," I'm surprised he wasn't fragged. Really, I think he watched too much Star Trek and believes he's in Star Fleet, serving the Federation. In the video clip, he talks about the earth's magnetic shields. OK, Scotty, better get the hamster wheels turning on those dilithium crystals, so we can power up our magnetic shields. Roger that!

And in Ed's world, guns go "pew pew pew".

No doubt. The hilarious thing was when Dames referred to guns as "heaters." Oh yeah, there was that episode when Kirk and Spock beamed down to the planet of the gangsters:

His last foray he said he was "packin' a 45" to protect himself from secretaries...  I schpritzed soda on my Kindle from laughing

Quote from James McCaney's web site (yes, this is his rambling, stream-of-consciousness gobble-de-gook):

for professionals and mathematicians coming to this page regarding the "Calculate Primes" book (and for the general public also) ... this new work actually redefines the way we look at numbers themselves ... once you see the solution to the prime number problem ... you will realize that the lack of understanding has in part been due to the fundamental way we look at numbers ... the book not only solves the age old mystery of the prime numbers ... but it redefines how we look at numbers ... remember how difficult it was to do certain mathematical operations with the old Roman Numeral system of counting well the way we use the base 10 (or other base) number systems was in fact a hindrance to understanding the true nature of numbers themselves ... the book with 3 hour DVD lecture will show you how we should be looking at numbers ... it is a far more natural way to view numbers and this opens the door for more solutions to many higher mathematical operations ... also for professionals ... there is a rigorous 7 part proof of the solution of the patterns to the prime numbers that is available upon request to select professionals but i suggest you read the book first ... the original technical paper is included as an appendix ... use the web ordering link above to view the book ... jim mccanney

This wonder of the universe will be on tonight. I hate to ruin it by saying that prime numbers are not spooky-mysterious at all, but then, I did not purchase his book (even trying to find the book on his site, through the water filtration and dried-foods offers, was impossible). Mind you, he could be a number base e advocate, but I don't see how prime numbers are affected. Anyway, the Clay Institute would pay him $1 million dollars for a solution to the Riemann Hypothesis (which deals with primes). Has he attempted to claim it?   I will listen to the first hour tonight, with a brilliant mathematician of my acquaintance, and report back.

lol, god damn, i miss onan.

I, too, miss Onan, but I will soldier on with a tear in my eye - from laughing so hard at tonight's guest. McCaney is a Hoaxland wanna-be with Comet Tourette's. Now we know, scientifically, that the Sun is not a Baptist, since it was dancing with a comet. Of course, McCaney does not seem to comprehend that the outer atmosphere of the sun is very, very thin - almost vacuous - so that the contents of a comet, even after vaporization, continue to travel with the comet - especially in a thin atmosphere. The comments of the brilliant mathematician to whom I am married were as thus: "Thermodynamics fail and Conservation of Momentum fail!" McCaney continues the Electric Comet-Aid Acid Test, by wondering when the stodgy scientific community will accept his "theories." I dunno, peer review seems to be working. Before he was rock-n-rolled the fuck outta Dodge, with Rush's Limelight (wink! wink!), he made the titillating statement that "We are pulsating on our magnetic sheath!" There you have it!

[Treading Water]

lol, god damn, i miss onan.

Me, too.  Glad to see Aldous checking in again.

[aldousburbank]

lol, god damn, i miss onan.

PMed him, hoping the dude abides, awaiting his unmerciful clarity.

Funny how I really did miss the largely faceless, anonymous posters here. It seems we have some soul of community inhabiting (infecting?) our bandwidth.  Cheers to M.V and all the Gabberoos for keeping up the place, even as some of us take some necessary time-outs.

Tonight we have the bearded, Nostradamus wanna-be, Zionists-are-behind-everything, Fear-Con John Hogue. He calls himself a "rogue" scholar in his lengthy autobiography, with some side-snarking on hidebound academia. Really? Who knew? Obviously, this stupendous seer has never read Thomas Kuhn or Karl Popper. He's beating the 2012 drum, no doubt attempting to hawk his latest (of 18) earth-shattering publications. We're living in interesting times (of course, the Zionists are behind Chinese curses - and behind evil Fu Manchu moustaches, as well)! To the Bat-Mobile! Vroom!

Hans King, the multi-level marketer of mediums, will be on tonight. Here is his oh-so-meaningful Deep Thought:

"Most people don't live their life,
they live their reaction to life."

Wow! All of the "International Acclaim" now makes sense to me! Hans can help you find your soul's true calling for merely $190 per half hour. In case you're worried, compassion will not be lacking in exchange for your expenditure:

Compassion
When you first connect with Hans, by telephone or in person, you will quickly sense his deep capacity for caring and understanding. Hans Christian King is a direct-voice medium - that is, he receives a thought and then speaks it, often providing evidential proof of life after death, by giving a name or another verifiable fact. He is clairsentient, which simply means clear-feeling - he feels the emotions and personalities of the deceased. He is also clairvoyant, which means that he sees the actual spirit or loved one with whom he is communicating. At other times, they communicate with him through visual symbols or insights.

When the guidance and/or the lost loved ones come through, an overwhelming sense of love can be felt immediately. The information that comes through is relevant to your soul's path - where you've been, where you are now, and where you're headed.

As if that's not enough, you can attend his School of Mediumship and Intuitive Development or you can join his Spiritual Unfoldment Circle for the low, low price of $39 monthly. What a bargain!
