Just clocked this for DR Wosisname. Another nail in his/her/their expertise. LinkyAre we dead yet? What on earth do people do with their phones? This is where I thought the claims from our esteemed doctor expert were somewhat erroneous and that claims to such a claim of authority were shonky. There have been tests in the past where they have swabbed and tested this and that etc and found that claimed human hygiene can be somewhat suspect. I believe the peanut bowl on the bar has had attention in tests in the past and there have been several, er, unwelcome components not all from the same person. Recently in the UK there was, on some news outlet or another, claims of peoples keyboards and monitors etc, all to do with hot desking I think. I think it also shows we are more resilient than some would have us believe and unless your immune system is in trouble, we are not as likely to die as he/she/they would have you believe. |

What a sad person. He has nothing better to do than get banned repeatedly and ignore the answers to his nonsense? The thing is, he could find a lot of HB sites, and be proclaimed as a great researcher by like-minded folk. That doesn't seem to be his goal - he either wants to butt heads with people he sees as authorities, or simply gets pleasure out of being annoying (that is, he's a troll). Personally, I suspect it's 1 rather than 2, but there may be some of both in the mix. |

That doesn't seem to be his goal But aren't we always complaining that Apollo deniers like Jarrah White stick to their Youtube walled gardens, never coming out to engage any kind of mainstream criticism? BTW, I would like to propose the term Apollo denier for people like White and his followers who claim Apollo was hoaxed. We've used the term "hoax believer" (HB) for some time, but it's inherently ambiguous. We mean it as "someone who believes Apollo was a hoax" but they could arguably use it to refer to us as "believers in the hoax that was Apollo". Other terms like "hoaxtard" sound like those used in the schoolyard by 7th graders. (I confess the same is true for "hoaxhead", which I coined a while ago.) We shouldn't descend to their level no matter how much they bait us. "Apollo denier" also evokes terms like "Holocaust denier" and "climate change denier", others who also claim to be dispassionate searchers for truth. In reality, they set one-sided and absurdly high standards of skepticism so they can reject overwhelming evidence for something they refuse to accept for reasons they'd rather not be honest about. |

What on earth do people do with their phones? Seeing what the traditional method for smuggling a phone into a prison involves, I'd expect the contamination level for phones inside a gaol to reach 100%. |

Um, ouch. At least phones are smaller nowadays than they used to be!

We used to have a problem with smuggled phones in jails here, not any more though. Now all our prisons use mobile phone jamming technology. |

Dr. Socks is trying his hand in the "FDR had foreknowledge of the attack on Pearl Harbor" CT.
He quoted an "intercepted deciphered dispatch" as evidence. A real life historian immediately provided a link that proved the so-called "intercepted deciphered dispatch" was neither intercepted nor deciphered before the attack but was obtained from the Japanese after the war. Ouch!

I noticed that. So, I presume his goal is to show up the US government as nasty evil military schemers. Of course, it will be sugar-coated in the beginning with "Well, of course, this would be a reasonable way of protecting us from enemies, right?", when what he's proposing is in no way reasonable, or even possible.

Well, so far we have: Apollo is a hoax. Evolution is a hoax. Pearl Harbour is a hoax. CERN is covering up something. And the latest hints are that he may go to the Holocaust hoax thing. Clearly, for Patrick, there is no hoax to far. |

Jeepers. Revisionist at work. Poor work at that. He/she/they/it need to look at what was happening in the Pacific at the time and the Asia area. Conflict was almost a dead cert, "when" not "if", at least as I understand it.

He just posted about the money spent on Apollo. In current dollars the whole program cost roughly $113 billion, right? Fatty/Patrick has some how persuaded himself this was the spend per YEAR.

President John F. Kennedy put it a little differently during his address at Rice University on 12 September 1962: Hell, I'd have been happy to contribute $30 or so for the year when I started work in 1965. |
