Hahahahaha! This blog was always destined to FAIL! No posts or comments in over a year. Maybe the annoying little boy that started this blog actually grew up?! They all do eventually and figure out how immature & futile their pursuit of “professional argumentativeness” actually is. Ce la vie. Yet another in a long line of silly hobby “debunking” sites bites the dust while actual truth moves on as ever… gone AND forgotten!

So sayest the fantastically named ‘NutbarsnzRtheRealNutbars’ in a typically considered, thoughtful comment from the conspiracy theorist side of the fence. (And I’d be impressed if the email address they commented with really was ‘nutbarsnzyousuckbigones@andyouhaveatinypenis.com’.)

Anyway, as NutbarsnzRtheRealNutbars has pointed out, this site has been put on indefinite hiatus. As the site byline states, I’ve been banging my head against various conspiracy theories for a few years now, and you can only point out other people’s mistakes for so long before realising they’re never going to (or will never want to) learn. The chemtrail hoax is pretty well dealt with by other sites (notably Metabunk and Contrail Science) for anyone who’s at all confused about the science behind contrails (and the non-science behind ‘chemtrails’).

Elsewhere…

And smashdracs! I’d've put you at the top if you’d just asked!

Oh and on another related sidenote that some here may find amusing… before I stated adding any comments in these forums I did a little back-reading and followed a few links. One that I visited only a few times was this rather silly little debunking blog called nutbarsnz. I laughed raucously at the massive amount of spamming they were receiving from one commenter in particular before the blog pretty much dried up (and blew away) just over a year ago. Cut a long story short…

Oh, come on Karmakazi Angel!? Surely you’re not accusing our favourite commenter – Biblical Prophet – of being a ‘spammer’? He just made, um, ‘interesting’ points. Unlike, say, MysteriousNZ, Clare Swinney or The Contrail, I’m not in the habit of deleting comments or banning people whose views disagree with my own.

Rightio, leaving the chemtrail hoaxers to their paranoid little delusions … now.

The research linked to claims that…

An estimated 14,000 excess deaths in the United States are linked to the radioactive fallout from the disaster at the Fukushima nuclear reactors in Japan, according to a major new article in the December 2011 edition of the International Journal of Health Services.

Wow. That’s a lot. How did they come to this conclusion? Well, they fudged the numbers is what they did, as explained here (and here, here, here, here, to name but a few of the sites that have taken the time to look at the actual numbers).

Basically, the researchers ignored the data that didn’t prove their hypothesis, honing in instead on a subset of the data that did. Interestingly enough, the researchers involved have subsequently admitted to their ‘errors’ in their data interpretation (and made more in trying to keep their hypothesis alive, but that’s another story), but Travellerev…?

Well, obviously, my comment that pointed this out has now been deleted by Travellerev, which makes you wonder, does she still believe in the conclusion of that report, if even the original authors have admitted it’s erroneous? How does deleting any opinions that point out potential flaws in the research help in our quest for ‘truth’?

In September you may recall I became aware that someone had started an anti conspiracy website called Conspiracy Nutbars of New Zealand or some such. 

The person/s behind the site immediately eventually started to comment under the name of Hepi Hemi indicating my site was being monitored pretty intensly read. After a few comments I decided that Hepi Hemi was a waste of space countering my opinions, and banned him but not before he helped me find a code error leading to a deformed website. This aid again came so quick he must have either linked to my blog or have it under constant scrutiny added my site to his Google Reader.

After a while some comments started to appear on my blog which while appealing for my sense of sympathy and friendship seemed strangely out of tune with the characters they tried to portray appealed to logic and common-sense and I became suspicious.

A stroke of luck would have it that I encountered More poorly copied HTML resulted in the same code error once again deforming my blog and in a moment of clarity decided to appeal for help to see who would show up and looka here I got the same quick advice and it turns out that all these strangely off kilter comments came from the same IP address as Hepi’s Hemi’s, indicating Hepi Hemi and Rua and some other Maori named ficticious characters! 

The IP address was linked to an Auckland address which might need some journalistic technical scrutiny because this isn’t the city Hemi lives in, is all very mysterious and begs the question; why is there one or more persons so hell bent on reading infiltrating my blog with clearly researched links requiring time and effort with fictitious names so as not to arouse suspicion to avoid his comments being summarily deleted.

The IP address, being a major NZ ISP hub, was also linked to many other US Ip addresses, but I suspect that since I don’t have a firm grasp on how the internet works, I won’t speculate further that the Auckland IP address is just an address to “proof” “prove” that my detractor is a New Zealand entity but with Cass Sunstein, Obama’s information czar outlining plans to infiltrate the conspiracy i.e. 9/11 truth movement in order to destroy it from within announced in January 2010, and the blog’s IP address appearing in October 2010 while claiming to have been fighting having been debating with conspiracy nutbars for a much longer time, I suspect that what we have here is a nasty piece of work doing his Global masters bidding someone who doesn’t like seeing idle speculation, misconstrued facts, and poor science going unanswered.

I guess we must be doing something right, and guess what Hemi or whatever the hell your name is the truth will never die and will bite you and your masters in the ass one of these days real soon. And it won’t be pretty.

I will block you and all the other names you’ve been writing under and keep an I eye on the IP address and the other I have been given by another blogger you have been harassing reading. So slither back under your rock and maybe I won’t give it to a very interested journalist together with the address it is registered at.

Now, I’m not sure to what purpose supplying any of my info to a ‘very interested journalist’ would serve, so feel free to supply them with whatever you’ve got.

Yes, the IP address of my work computer shows as being based in Auckland. That’s because that’s where our main ISP (ICONZ) is, and all our traffic is routed through their Auckland hub. I’m actually in Wellington.

I should also point out that my ‘true identity’ isn’t a particularly well-guarded secret: I’d be staggered if, given her investigative background, that Clare doesn’t know who I am, the guys over at Mysterious NZ know, as do a decent number of the regulars over at  Uncensored. A quick five minute web-search should sort you out, if you’re really that interested. (Although, I must admit, I don’t advertise the fact, because, as reported over Open Ur Eyes, some people don’t leave their difference-of-opinion to mere online threats).

So, yes, all good fun, made more so by Rose from The Contrail jumping in with this…

Yep – the same tripper is trolling us, mysterious NZ, Uncensored and Clare Swinney. Makes me laugh that they are so insecure. We just leave him to it being that he thinks he’s so clever.

Now, considering I’ve been banned from Rose’s site, Mysterious NZ and Clare’s site for a considerable amount of time, I’m not sure how I could be ‘trolling’ any of those sites. Rose might be getting me confused with someone else (she has been known to confuse one thing for another in the past, after all). And, of course, there’s a fantastic irony in Rose’s “we just leave him to it” statment, which appears after a 500 word diatrabe exclusively about me. I’d hate to see it if they actually turned their attention on me!

Rose adds…

Contact me if you want more info on this guys id’s. A few members have been doing some interesting trolling of their own

Wouldn’t that be, like, stalking? The sort of thing Travellerev and Rose were just complaining about? But wait, there’s more…

What are they afraid of? Can’t stop truth.

This is my exact point! What are you afraid of? Why ban people who oppose your point-of-view? If you’re sure in your evidence, can back-up your theories with sound science, then you shouldn’t need to ban everyone who comes onto your site who has an opinion different to your own. Sigh. Another comment on the same post, from Nina, says…

WHY are people so short-sided? WHY can we just not allow other opinions? WHY don’t we look for the truth? etc. etc.

I’m with Nina.

In the US Fema camps are being brought online and contractors are sought to be on standby to be at these camps in 72 hours to welcome the first of the millions of dispossessed Americans arrive for a smooth elimination after President Obama signs S 1876 allowing the military to arrest and round up Americans whom they deem dangerous.

All of this was predicted by smarter people than me but I was able to see this coming from a mile six years ago thanks to these smart people. I hope A reads this and sometime in the future he might even have to admit I was right all along even though being right was one of my greatest fears.

…writes Travellerev, lamenting her (ex?) friend’s lack of faith in her predictive abilities (emphasis mine).

So, there ya go. Within the week, we’ll be seeing the first of millions of  Americans rounded up and placed into the aforementioned FEMA camps.

I, like Travellerev, certainly hope that when this happens ‘A’, whoever he might be, will admit his mistake!

Of course, if it doesn’t happen, do the people who predicted it need to acknowledge their mistake?

UPDATE: Naturally, in the mind of Travellerev, this isn’t actually a hard and fast prediction (despite the words I’ve quoted verbatim from her site), and now states that the intake of ‘prisoners’…

…could be tomorrow or in the next thee years or whatever.

Or ‘whatever’. Such prescience!

Hopefully this will put me in the same category of soothsayer as the much-respected WEATHERONUT (respected by Clare, at any rate), who predicts a 7.0+ earthquake somewhere on the Planet Earth (as opposed to some other planet) in the next 10 days.

Now, there’s been 19 earthquakes of this magnitude or greater so far this year, which at the time of the last 7.0+, averages out at one quake of this magnitude every 15 days or so.

It’s been a month since the last big ‘un (that 7.1 in Turkey), so, from statistical point of view, we’re already 15 days overdue for another one. Of course, earthquakes don’t concern themselves with maintaining statistical averages — there weren’t any quakes of this magnitude in February or May, for example — but, given the frequency with which quakes of that size have been occurring in recent times, is Weatheronut’s prediction really that big a call?

“Surely this is unnatural” states Clare. And, yes, it certainly looks a bit odd. What could it be? Surely such a clean, delineated pattern must be the result of human interference?!

Well, to a degree, it is. The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre website, from which the images of the grid-like pattern are taken, are rounding the longitude/latitude co-ordinates of every single recorded earthquake to 2 decimal points. As such, any swarm of quakes in the same area will appear to be evenly spaced from each other as the rounding effect pushes each quake onto the grid created from that mechanism.

The ‘gridding’ effect only becomes apparent when there’s a lot of earthquakes very close together, which allows for a zoom level high enough to allow it to become apparent, but, rest assured, every single earthquake on the EMSC gmap will appear on the intersection points of that grid. It’s impossible for them to not appear on those points!

Looking at it right now, you can see exactly the same effect is still taking place in the Canary Islands and Turkey. Here’s the snapshot of (at the time of writing) recent Canary Islands quakes, with the long/lat grid overlaid to illustrate what’s happening. (Edit: yes, I mislabelled the first longitude point – it shoud be 18.03W)…

Here’s another one, Turkey this time…

Now, as explained above, you need a pretty large number of quakes in a very small area for the grid to become obvious (you need to be able zoom in close enough for it to really jump out at you), and the only places where that kind of swarm is occurring at the moment is in the Canary Islands, and in Turkey, which have both already been fingered as ‘unnatural’. How about a series of four quakes in the North Atlantic, far from anywhere, and surely off the NWO’s radar? Are they on the grid…?

Of course they are.

Given the way the EMSC is plotting them, they have to be.

(Note: I’ve only drawn on the relevant long/lat grid lines here, as it was going to get too cluttered otherwise. This is a good example of how you need a decent cluster of quakes for the effect to show up in any obvious way. At this zoom level, the pattern is still there, but not so apparent.)

How does cloud-seeding marry up with popular chemtrail theory?

• ‘Chemtrails’ are long straight lines of ‘chemicals’ that spread out to form cirrus-like clouds.
  Cloud-seeding is done directly into clouds – no ‘line’s are created.
• ‘Chemtrails’ contain aluminium, barium, and other miscellaneous chemical and biological agents
  Cloud-seeding uses silver iodine.
• ‘Chemtrailing’ started in the late 1990s.
  Cloud-seeding has been around since the 1940s.

So cloud-seeding doesn’t look like ‘chemtrails’, doesn’t contain any of the chemicals that you’d expect to find in ‘chemtrails’, and pre-date the ‘chemtrail’ era by fifty years.

And on that last point, the guys over at Metabunk have even discovered that this specific cloud-seeding operation has been in existence since 1948.

To think, all that work the NWO has been doing on keeping chemtrails a secret, and then someone goes and puts an ad about it in the local paper!

Here’s Kate, singing about another weather modification technique…

Now, there’s a few problems with this statement…

1. The HAARP program began in 1990. The first, relatively low-powered 360kw prototype was completed in 1994, which was upgraded to 960kw in 1998. It wasn’t until 2007 until the full-powered 3600kw IRI array went into operation.
2.  The graph which underpins the source of this claim originally comes from this article (click here to see the graph) (and thanks JtP, for finding it), which isn’t about HAARP at all, but instead states the increase in quake activity is down to various ancient civilizations’ end-of-world prophecies.
3. The numbers from that graph are sourced from a USGS list of  ”Selected earthquakes of general historic interest“. So, it’s not a precise list of the numbers of actual earthquakes, just a manually created list of notable events of subjective interest to the general public. And, to that end, there are more quakes listed more recently, as they are of genuine interest right now. I’m sure that in 50 years, a 3.5M quake in Northern California wouldn’t make that list, but, as of now, there it is.
4. And if we look at the number of  actual 6.0M+ quakes over the last few decades, what do we find? Using the USGS/NEIC (PDE) database, we can search for all 6.0M+ quakes, worldwide, since 1973. So, side-by-side, how do they measure up….

I’ve indicated the comparison period with a line and arrow in the first graph. As you can see, while there has been a general trend up in the number of 6.0M magnitude earthquakes, it’s nowhere near as significant as the first graph would lead you to believe (you’ll also notice that a very small minority of quakes even make it onto that ‘general historical interest’ list — just going to show how arbitrary it is). And as the USGS itself point out…

… improved global communication and enhancements in detection technology have both contributed to higher earthquake numbers being recorded over time … ”Although it may seem that we are having more earthquakes, earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 or greater have remained fairly constant throughout this century and, according to our records, have actually seemed to decrease in recent years.” [emphasis added]

Which just makes me think I should have drawn up a graph for 7.0M+ earthquakes. C’est la vie.

What kind of craft do they need to create that

Well, wonder no more, here is the culprit…

It’s a Grumman Ag Cat, a type of which Jerry Stevens has been using to sky-write his religious messages with since 1998.

At least five times a week, sometimes twice a day, Stevens takes to the skies in a yellow crop-duster he says God told him to name “Holy Smoke.” He soars 9,500 feet above Palm Beach County to pen “Love God” out of white smoke. The messages, which span 7 miles, can be seen 40 to 50 miles away, often lingering in the clear blue sky for 15 minutes.

People have offered him money to write advertisements or political messages. But he refuses to do it.

“I strictly fly for God,” he said.

No mention of chemtrails at all. The process is explained…

The messages take about seven minutes to write in long plumes of smoke, produced when he pulls a lever that pours oil into the plane’s exhaust pipe.

You can see more pictures, and find out more about Jerry at his godis4u.net website.

Surprisingly, the report contains enough actual facts to make some sort of analysis as to what was going on. Using flightradar24, CuzzieBro established that the plane in question was Thia [sic] Airways THA461, and it was at a height of 37000ft when his pictures were taken. Not surprisingly, neither CuzzieBro nor Clare bothered to take the extra step of trying to figure out if the atmospheric conditions at that time were conducive to contrails.

So, again, using the guide Clare recommends, let’s find the upper atmospheric readings for a nearby weather station (in this case, Adelaide Airport), for that day. The results…?

At a height of 370000ft (11277m), for Adelaide Aiport on the 31st of October:

• Temperature: -54C
• Pressure: 223hPa
• RelH%: 42%
