So, if I wear a shiny foil suit, and walk out of a "spaceship" with my "probe" pointing to the stars, I'd have a chance? I'll have to go and look up who Demi Lovato is. Is that like "Hemi" or "Semi" Lovato? [/Keith Laumer] Abstruse reference, FTW.

This thread has brought to mind my favourite UFOLOGIST/Charlatan/Con artist, George Adamski. His photo of a real flying saucer was one of the more famous images of its subject throughout the 1950's and later. It was later found to be the top of a 1950's portable drinks cooler.
"George Adamski (17 April 1891 – 23 April 1965) was a Polish-American author who became widely known in ufology circles, and to some degree in popular culture, after he displayed numerous photographs in the 1940s and 1950s that he said were of alien spacecraft, claimed to have met with friendly Nordic alien Space Brothers, and claimed to have taken flights with them to the Moon and other planets.[2]
Adamski was the first, and most famous, of several so-called UFO contactees who came to prominence during the 1950s. Adamski called himself a "philosopher, teacher, student and saucer researcher", although most investigators concluded his claims were an elaborate hoax, and that Adamski himself was a charlatan and a con artist.[3]"

Of course the great pathological liar and con man, Erich Von Daniken made a lot more money money than George. His first book, "Chariots Of The Gods" became a best seller and spawned a cottage industry of similar books throughout 1970's. At one point they formed their own genre. I think I read at least half a dozen. After a while, I was bemused to discover that authors in the genre began quoting each other. Very much like a certain ilk of Biblical scholars.

Off topic a smidge:
As for Roswell and area 51. Using Occam's razor, I think the official line is probably true. Willing to change my mind when I see some empirical evidence to the contrary. It's an interesting trait in humans to believe the myth when reality is boring. One of the reasons people insist on believing in the divine/supernatural/paranormal.
EG It has been widely shown that crop circles are hoaxes. People who made them have even demonstrated how they do it. This is far too prosaic for some, who prefer the myth, which is much more interesting.

Here’s a confusing one: There’s a conspiracy that climate protests in the UK are actually staged by the government in order to justify a law to make it easier for police to arrest real protesters.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

There are cancer truthists
Quote:Late last month, proponents of alternative-health treatments descended upon the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville for a three-day event billed as “The Truth About Cancer.” At least it looked that way. While the symposium’s title suggested a gathering of health nuts, it was more so a convention for anti-vaxxers, conspiracy theorists, and pseudo-scientists.
“The Truth About Cancer Live” was presented by Ty and Charlene Bollinger, a Tennessee husband and wife who rail against chemotherapy, are fond of words like “plandemic,” and post conspiracy theories on their website with titles like “The Truth About the Assassination of MLK.” Not surprisingly, they don’t believe in Covid vaccines either.
Eric Trump, the second son of twice-impeached president Donald Trump, reportedly commands between $50,000 and $100,000 for public speaking appearances. At “The Truth About Cancer Live,” he didn’t have to work very hard for it. Trump uttered the word “cancer” exactly zero times during his rambling 28-minute diatribe, which was basically a stump speech for his father that focused on demonizing Democrats for “weaponizing” all facets of U.S. life against populist America.

Like a duck to water - Alex Jones is turning into a Christian preacher and says we are seeing the book of Revelations come true now, and that this is the most important time in history since Christ walked the earth.
