The L.A. Times goes easy on the racist, conservative (not that there is anything wrong with that) and thoroughly discredited writer Jerome Corsi, who was in Kenya this week promoting his latest hatchet job against a Democratic presidential candidate.

Corsi is also the author of the “Swift Boat” book that damaged John Kerry’s presidential campaign, which established Corsi’s reputation in the MSM, at least, as a complete buffoon.

Jerome Corsi, the author of a controversial book attacking Barack Obama, has been detained in Kenya and is expected to be deported, The Times’ Nairobi bureau chief, Edmund Sanders, reports.

Corsi is the author of “The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality,” a best-selling book whose assertions — that Obama was raised a Muslim and is secretly seething with “black rage” — have been widely dismissed as false and based on little more than the author’s desire to derail the Democrat’s presidential candidacy.

The Independent to 9/11 conspiracists: "Go to Hell"

London Independent science editor Steve Conner reports a theory from the UK Atomic Energy Authority as indisputable fact, and pronounces the 9/11 case closed:

The discovery that unusual magnetic forces within the girders made them weak at temperatures of about 500C explains away the conspiracy theories that have spread like wildfire since the disaster.

Sergei Dudarev, of the UK Atomic Energy Agency, found that steel loses its strength above 500C because its molecules undergo a physical transition from one state to another due to magnetic fluctuations.

9/11 truthers, however, quickly rounded-up evidence that seems to contradict Dudarev’s assertions about the Twin Towers collapse.

Dudarev takes his paycheck from taxpayers, via the financier Lady Barbara Judge (left), who is chairman of the UKAEA.

Dudarev’s findings reportedly came out of an unrelated study he was conducting for the UKAEA, which is charged with decommissioning nuclear weapons, and promoting nuke energy.

Hurricane 4 Gustav is shaping up like another Katrina, and so is Tropical Storm Hanna, to the East.

AccuWeather.com – Weather News Headlines – Weather News
Gustav’s extremely dangerous impacts will stem from storm tides reaching at least 9-12 feet above normal and winds potentially of Category 3 status, or at least 111 mph, near the site of landfall. It is along the Louisiana coast, with its many canals, inlets and bays, that these winds and storm tides would wreak the most serious havoc while reaching farthest inland. And widespread flooding rainfall of 6-12 inches together with isolated tornadoes will substantially extend the storm’s impact inland.

Moon landing? Don't believe your lying eyes

Space blogger to moon landing skeptics: Trust “scientists, engineers (and) the government.”

(Looks to good to be true. Photo: NASA)

Universe Today hopes this NASA image from the Apollo 11 mission (above) is so undeniably realistic-looking, few people will again dare to insist the U.S.’s moon landings were hoaxed. (Link, excerpt, below.)

Many conspiracists would be happy to see the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter prove them wrong. They just doubt it will.

Still Mythbusting | Universe Today
After last night’s “Mythbusters” show about the Apollo Moon Landing Hoax Myth, I’m cautiously hopeful that at least some people who believe(d) in this myth had their eyes opened and minds changed. Alas, there will always be folks out there who for some reason are set on not believing scientists, engineers or the government and won’t subscribe to any type of proof, be it scientific or television-ific. Perhaps the upcoming Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission will be able to take hi-resolution images of one of the Apollo sites.

Take that, truthers

The Age, with help from a “professional skeptic,” tries to knock-down Sasquatch, UFOs, ghosts, global warming and 9/11 conspiracies — all in one shot. (Click the image, above, to see the article and vid.)

“(The internet) has been the driving force behind a lot of social movements and conspiracy theories,” says the founder of the Skeptic Magazine.

For conspiracy and esoteric researchers, not to mention real cryptozoologists like Loren Coleman (he’s the best in the business), this can be maddening.

By linking charlatans such as Tom Biscardi to those questioning the U.S. government’s stories about 9/11 or global warming, Shermer discredits honest research.

Biotech body snatchers. A genetically “inferior” underclass. Increased terrorist attacks. Futurists will “make it so.“

(Marketing buzzword alert: “Futuring,” a verb, is the act of exploring of the future, according to those who do it. Photo: Futurist Thornton A. May flashes the three-finger “Sustainability Symbol.” More about this strange hand signal shortly. Credit: Dragonpreneur, under a Creative Commons license.)

from Mark:

A new book by a futurist and adviser to three U.S. presidents portrays a horrific near future scenario filled with body snatchers, a booming “neuromarket” for false memory implants, and a self-aware internet that rebels against humanity.

The author of “The Extreme Future,” James Canton, Ph.D. (below), was a student of Alvin Toffler, according to Publisher’s Weekly. He will be speaking at the U.S. Army War College this fall, at a conference aimed not at predicting, but shaping, the future.

“The goal of futuring (exploring the future) is not to predict the future but to improve it,” reads a quote from futurist Edward Cornish, on the U.S. Army War College’s website.

For more about how futurists plan our futures, see these blurbs and broadcasts by Alan Watt.

Bloggers from the military and intel communities are talking about the book. Here is an excerpt from one dot-mil blog:

(Dr.) Canton…includes “Top Ten” lists detailing everything from Energy Trends to Robo-Futures.

In THE EXTREME FUTURE, Dr. James Canton predicts that:

• The high cost of oil will force the West to invent new alternatives to oil and lead to depressed OPEC economies, leading to more terrorism against the West

• Radical life extension will create a two-class global society of those who live over 150 years and of those who cannot afford to

• The Internet will develop an awareness of itself and its own personality and rebel against human controls

• Human cloning will become the ultimate in identity theft

• A nuclear exchange between Pakistan and India is more likely then not

• Copy-cat products from Asia—from drugs to auto parts—will perform better then the original branded products they’re based on

• Radical life extension will reshape entire markets and society

• The new global Innovation Economy will deliver widespread prosperity and wealth

Protesters on the Web and in the streets might believe they are making changes, but they’d be wrong.

(Hello, worthless: For all of their viral videos, chain emails, outlandish performances and guerrilla visual marketing campaigns, the new generation of dissenters have little to brag about. Photo: 2004 Democratic National Convention protesters, by Mark Baard)

from Mark:

The Denver Post, citing their “funky fusion of protest, performance and pompoms,” suggests that protesters are changing their tactics for the YouTube generation. (See excerpt and link, below.) But when young protesters hit the Democratic Convention this summer, they will be corralled into the same caged protest zone I saw at the 2004 in Boston.

And the devastating impacts to Americans of the so-called War on Terror, failing banks and foreclosures, and the emerging police state have never been worse.

Indeed, the mass protests that elsewhere and at other times have forced governments to reverse their unpopular decisions, are completely absent from the American scene. Instead, food riots

That is because, as secret societies historian Alan Watt often notes in his radio programs and audio blurbs, governments and corporations generate apathy as often as they use terror to control the masses.

New generation plans dissent – The Denver Post
A nude-in with bare bodies arranged to spell “PEACE,” traffic- stopping bike blockades, music with a message. Civil disobedience, direct confrontation, radical cheerleading.

That funky fusion of protest, performance and pompoms.

The new generation of activists, and the daisy-in-the-rifle protesters who birthed them, is busy with creative ferment, organizing public dissent for the Democratic National Convention here in August. They are motivated by the desire to create social change with people power, not political power, frustrated by a mounting list of problems, from the housing crisis to soaring prices for gas and food.

Cape Cod licenses go to the devil

The Mark of the Beast is making big bucks for Cape Cod Charities this summer (link, excerpt, below). Bids for the plates (28 to-date) are exceeding the $600 mark. Other “lucky” numbers, such as 888 (eight is lucky in China), are doing equally well in the bidding for new “custom” license plates from the Commenwealth of Massachusetts.

Cape license plate bidding goes apocalyptic – BostonHerald.com
Devilish drivers are burning up an online auction in a bidding war over plate 666.

It’s all part of the Cape & Islands license plate auction that lasts until Aug. 1.

Plate numbers 1 through 999 are up for grabs with the sign of the devil leading the way as of yesterday, the first day of bidding.

The most popular plate in the auction, 666, known as the devil’s number, has grabbed at least 24 bidders looking to ride under the mark of the beast.

(Update: Steve, in his excellent comments, below, says I mischaracterized David Icke’s spiritual views in this post. In short, Icke believes that he is a Son of God, not “the” Son, a state he shares with any other human being. — mb)

from Mark:

Red Ice this week made international news of David Icke’s anti-Big Brother campaign for British Parliament.

Icke, the former sportscaster, footballer and a Son of Godreincarnation of Jesus Christ (so he says), does not want the job, actually.

Rather, he seeks to call attention to Britain’s alarming cascade into a full-blown police state.

As the Palmgren brothers note at Red Ice, The Times of London, a Rupert Murdoch paper (that I’ve written for), mocked Icke’s announcement, noting the conspiracy researcher’s assertion that the Royal family and other world leaders are members of a reptilian master race.

The Times lists Icke alongside a beauty queen and the gag candidate, Mad Cow-Girl, as the candidates for the available seat.

Bush, Obama, Cheney, Ramses: All in the family

from Mark:

I’ve listened to enough patriot radio, and done enough Googling, to know that America’s leading politicians and personalities are related (see link, excerpt, below).

Still, I was struck by this recent statement by the far-out occult conspiracy researcher and broadcaster Freeman: “George W. Bush is a direct descendant of Ramses (one of the ancient Egyptian kings).

This is an important assertion for students of the reptilian/ET agenda. It is also, I imagine, impossible to prove.

I do not know a thing about family trees, so I cannot tell you whether this one from David Icke is accurate…

But I am astonished at how the mainstream media uses firm evidence of elite inbreeding, where it exists, to mock conspiracists and to claim, perversely, that it somehow proves politicians serve very different masters.

FactCheck.org: Are Barack Obama and Dick Cheney cousins?
Obama’s other relatives, by the way, include George W. Bush, who, according to the Sun-Times, is his 11th cousin. They share the same great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandparents, a 17th-century Massachusetts couple named Samuel Hinckley and Sarah Soole Hinckley. And Harry S. Truman was Obama’s fourth cousin four times removed, the paper says. The New York Post, using ancestry.com, reported that Brad Pitt and Obama are ninth cousins. Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga told the BBC that his maternal uncle was Obama’s father, making them first cousins (we think).

We wouldn’t make too much of this, though. After all, according to at least some researchers, a common ancestor for all humans now alive may have existed just several thousand years ago. That means you, dear reader, could have a cousinly relationship that may not go all that far back to everyone from Jack Kevorkian to Tina Fey to Hugo Chavez to the woman selling trinkets from a piece of cardboard on a Bangalore street corner.
