There has been a raft of outrageous claims (such as, 'I invented the exclamation mark') that have failed to materialise (and when they dont they will move onto something else) or are simply unverifiable, the latter being great for selling books.
Recently in the limelight is Richard Hoagland who said that Elenin was being overhyped then had the audacity to say it was a spaceship with an invisible tetrahedral forcefield piloted by aliens. Mindbogglingly daft.
It has been known for some time that it is not a spaceship but a tiny insignificant comet that now does almost not exist. Some will harp on about his mathematics but not only are they unscientific they are incorrect as has been proven.
The Magical Statistical Thinking of Richard Hoagland

"So in the end, we have a roughly 1 in 5 chance that Elenin would have the level of significance that Hoagland places on it. Not 1 in 46 billion."
He is one of many misinformants creating an atmosphere of untruth that have inundated C2C and sites like Avalon and Camelot and polluted the alternative moment shifting away its focus from the real issues in life onto fantasy and with others into the realm of fear.
They are a thorn in the side of the truth movement and most have them have been promoted by Bill Ryan or Kerry Cassidy(who is now enjoying an all expenses holiday courtesy of the cult leader Ashtray Deane Anna Hayes etc etc)and other well known conspiracy outlets and retailers. The conspiracy movement is big business. I'm correct in thinking the only money ever put into the mists of Avalon was to remove the Ads.
