NASA doubters hitting the lamestream media.
There’s a small but vocal group of conspiracists—bloggers have taken to calling them “Pluto Truthers”—who claim the recent images are fake. In fact, they argue, New Horizons is simply the latest bogus galactic mission to deceive the public, perhaps to divert tax money to more secretive or nefarious government projects. That trickery is nothing new, they charge; it goes all the way back to the first moon landing.

Crow777 seems to be getting most of the NASA doubting publicity.

Joe Rogan loud potty mouth is involved too.
Comment from Gizmodo:
Cool stuff. If this isn’t someone we already know (Videre?), Ab should get a hold of them and see if they want to be on a podcast. 🙂
Here are some examples of Nolita’s opposition. See if you can detect any hint of bullying, jingoism and/or failure to formulate a simple analysis of the problem with strangers demanding trust of strangers. My bolds :
They sound a bit confused. Does Tridian have the mind of a conspiracy theorist, because they won’t change their mind when presented with evidence of NASA fakery? Is it really “hip” and “fun” to be called names by the majority of the population just for reaching a different conclusion than those who haven’t looked into it very deeply?
How is it that a technician with no experience in data outside of their expertise reliably says they can prove data is coming from any given place? Even an expert could be fooled by a prank. So anything less than an expert would have the joke on them. I don’t think a true expert would ever declare themselves beyond deception.
Actually, threatening thousands of people’s livelihoods with a well-hidden military with access to the most technically advanced spying/communication networks known to humankind sounds like a pretty reasonable way to control them entirely — no matter where they live. But I could be wrong. Maybe the new generations don’t fear death or suffering, are immune to threats and have no use for money and privilege.
Hmmm. And what about forum posters like this phony “Fleet Admiral” that don’t even sound remotely scientific? Are they practicing science?
Try CluesForum, magical mangina!
Since when does NASA offer any proofs whatsoever of its official reports? That would be amazing.
Just ask somebody! Like this tool:
Sounds like a pretty scientific answer.
Aha, the spin of the Democrats marries the spin of the Republicans. Nice.
If someone could actually define the difference, I think it might be Ab or another Fakeologist, not these folks.
Lotta friends:
Doth the ladies protest too much?
Great analysis Hoi. There’s nothing of substance in their attacks to prove anything other than a rabid attachment to NASA propaganda. When collated, we can see the emperor has no clothes and is rather defenceless. If nothing else, ball earth skepticism can bring a new wave to knock NASA out.
Sure that’s be great. Have you got a link?
