2009-10-18 21:12:00 The Emperor Ming the Merciless has admitted the "Balloon Boy" stunt was perpetrated by his administration in an attempt to revive tourism on Mars."We haven't had an earth man here since Flash Gordon in 1938," Ming said. "And now with NASA cutting back, we were getting a little desperate."Jim Alderden, sheriff of Fort Collins, Colorado, said he had been contemplating filing charges against Richard and Mayumi Heene, the parents of Falcon, 6, who never really was in the balloon.

Senators Kerry And Boxer Fall for Algore’s Hoax
2009-03-21 11:43:00 Senator John Kerry and Barbara Boxer are both rich and stupid: Washington (CNSNews.com) - Democratic Sens. John Kerry and Barbara Boxer told CNSNews.com that the nation must adopt the Obama administration’s cap-and-trade proposal to reduce carbon emissions, even if it results in massive increases in gasoline and electricity prices. Anthropogenic global warming is a fraud and a hoax. We, the hard working taxpayers of the United States, unlike the idle rich of the United States Senate, need a carbon tax like a fish needs a bicycle. Kerry has millions. He married into it. He can afford the carbon tax. I don’t have milllion, and can not afford the tax. Can you?

The Great Thanksgiving Hoax
2008-11-27 13:04:00 The Great Thanksgiving Hoax from www.mises.orgDaily Article by Richard J. Maybury | Posted on 11/20/1999 Each year at this time school children all over America are taught the official Thanksgiving story, and newspapers, radio, TV, and magazines devote vast amounts of time and space to it. It is all very colorful and fascinating. It is also very deceiving. This official story is nothing like what really happened. It is a fairy tale, a whitewashed and sanitized collection of half-truths which divert attention away from Thanksgiving's real meaning. The official story has the pilgrims boarding the Mayflower, coming to America and establishing the Plymouth colony in the winter of 1620-21. This first winter is hard, and half the colonists die. But the survivors are hard working and tenacious, and they learn new farming techniques from the Indians. The harvest of 1621 is bountiful. The Pilgrims hold a celebration, and give thanks to God. They are grateful for the wonderful new abundant...

Doug "Greaseman" Tracht death reports a likely hoax
2008-09-24 09:58:00 Claims made that radio disc jockey The Greaseman (a.k.a. Doug Tracht) is dead appear to now be false, the result of a deliberate hoax perpetuated by his current employer, DC101 (WWDC/101.1) radio. Speculation about The Greaseman's demise started with the posting of a YouTube remembrance tribute video with the text "Doug 'The Greaseman' Tracht, 1950-2008." An on-air announcement about Greaseman's "death" was made Tuesday evening over DC101 during the 5 p.m. hour followed by the playing of songs that Greaseman would have supposedly wanted.Since that point though, absolutely no media outlets have confirmed Doug Tracht's alleged demise. An e-mailer posted to the DCRTV metamedia site found no evidence of unusual activity around Tracht's house. More notably, a source has since posted to Southern Maryland Online that Tracht himself was successfully contacted by phone two hours after reports surfaced about him supposedly being deceased. While it isn't immediately clear yet if Doug Tr...

The Intensity of Propagation and Gramscian "Hegemony" of the Al-Durah Hoax
2008-06-04 23:35:00 A rather good Wall Street Journal editorial of 5-27-2008, shows that even those with good intentions get taken in by the al-Durah myth. The Journal writes that:The iconic image of the terrified child crouching behind his father helped sway world opinion against the Jewish state and fueled the last Intifada. If we actually look at the film we see that the boy is crouching in front of his father. The father is next to the wall. The boy is more exposed than the father is to shooting coming from anywhere on a 180 degree arc [that is, within a semi-circle] based on the outermost point of the barrel and on a vertical plane parallel to the wall. This mistake by even a fair-minded observer shows how the myth created by Gaza Arab cameraman Talal Abu Rahma, by France2 correspondent Charles Enderlin, and by countless Islamic jihadist and pro-Arab Western propagandists ["journalists"] has the power to cause the highly visible empirical fact that the boy crouches in front of his father to be ove...

She is probably a little high but there?s no shocking footage of her doing heroin.The Tomb Raider beauty is seen wide-eyed and babbling in the seedy amateur footage ? as a woman next to her casually smokes heroin. At times her eyelids are so heavy she can barely keep them open. She is also seen with dishevelled hair as she rubs her teeth.In the video, shot in 1999 when she was 23, the actress brags about loving sado-masochistic sex ? and killing her pets. She says of taking part in sex games where someone is tied down or hurt: ?It?s just a cool thing.? She tells how her mouse met a tragic fate after she dyed it blue ? and how a hamster and lizards also died.The hamster got pneumonia after she took it into the shower while the lizards were left too long in the sun.

Mom Charged In MySpace Hoax Linked To Suicide
2008-05-15 11:41:00 California authorities indict Lori Drew for using a fake account to "torment, harass, humiliate and embarrass" 13-year-old Megan Meier.By Gil Kaufman Megan Meier Photo: Tom Gannam/AP A federal grand jury in California indicted a suburban St. Louis mother on Thursday (May 15) for her alleged role in an Internet hoax against a 13-year-old neighbor who committed suicide. According to the Associated Press, Lori Drew was charged with one count of conspiracy and three counts of accessing protected computers without authorization for her part in an alleged bid to get information that was used to inflict emotional distress on Megan Meier. In December, Missouri prosecutors decided not to file charges against Drew, citing a lack of evidence, but federal authorities in California took up the case because it involved actions that allegedly took place on the computer servers of MySpace, which is a subsidiary of Beverly Hills-based Fox Interactive Media Inc.

Right Versus Left, Who Kills More?
2008-05-15 02:12:00 Carbon emissions, we're told, cause global warming. Cars cough up carbon. Solution: biofuel. Brilliant! Politicians shovel billions of subsidy taxbucks at farmers who get rich selling corn to bio-refiners. Brazilians burn down that 1990s eco-chic cause, the Amazon rain forest, and plant soybeans. Indonesians hack down so much wilderness for palm oil trees for biodiesel they've climbed into third place on the Worldwide Carbon Emitter's Hit Parade. Turns out leafy growing things store carbon. When they're hacked and burned they cough up their carbon into the atmosphere. All this leaves less food for food .... And then there's this: "We now have quite a lot of evidence that carbon emissions definitely don't cause global warming." - US Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. read more

McCain falls for a hoax
2008-05-14 02:13:00 It is clear, and sadly predictable that John McCain has fallen for the hoax of anthropogenic global warming,. Roy Spencer on “McCain’s Assault on Reason:” John McCain’s global-warming speech on Monday made it clear that there will be no presidential candidate this year willing to question the assertion that global warming (a.k.a. “climate change“) is manmade, or the assertion that we can fix global warming by passing a few laws. Along with Clinton and Obama, McCain’s proposal to attack global warming now gives voters three choices for a car color - as long as it is black. Like Clinton and Obama, McCain’s proposal involves a “cap and trade” mechanism to legislatively limit CO2 emissions in the coming years, with the free market minimizing the economic damage by allowing a trading of emission credits between companies. He also includes an allowance for carbon offsets, although everyone (except Al Gore) believes this to ...
