James Randi 'Educational Foundation' (JREF): Pseudo-skeptics

Propagandists, nuke liars, frauds, publicists, dupes - but also some debunkers - of nuclear and other issues

FirstClassSkeptic - You should be able to download 'Audacity' free - it's audio processing software. It's fairly - but not very - intuitive: with a mike connected, press the red button, and watch the audio trace. If you're lucky it'll all work well; if not you'll have an annoying time trying to work out where to plug what in. You can edit much more easily than tape: work from a script, try to get it right first time; but if not just re-do the bit you got wrong and select and cut out the other bit. You might screech or yell to mark an error-point for relative ease of editing. Save as .WAV or .MP3 file.

** ADDED LATER *** If you email it to me (or others - NUKELIES for example) it could make the soundtrack of a video, for Youtube. 30 mins would be exactly two videos - I lost my concession to have long videos because of a fake copyright claim - but NUKELIES could probably do the full half hour as one video.

Yes, maybe Randi's lot are just vain, rather than hired types. Who knows. But some of them have a few tens of thousands of postings, which must take time, even if they say nothing much.

The thread was moved from Science to Conspiracy Theories. Sigh. It doesn't seem to appear on the front page, which is annoying. Another thing - which I've noticed before - is that insults from them don't get moderated; if I say the same back, I do.

In fact, it's two separate columns of smoke, I'd guess from two separate bombed towns.

If you check on the other material, you'll find it does not carry the message supposedly given to it. For example there's supposed to be a shadow of a person on a wall. But at the time the atom bomb supposedly dropped, Hiroshima would have been alive with people. Why should there be just one shadow? How come - and there's a book extract I scanned in - an eyewitness said she lived 600 yards from the epicentre; when she opened the door to see what was going on, there were burning wooden buildings - there was no wiped clean irradiated hot surface. And so on.

Why would you expect I would mention the deaths in other wars when there's nothing in the OP mentioning the deaths from conventional wars? [You're following the convention of pretend concern over supposed atom bomb deaths. This is pure hypocrisy as tens of millions died in WW2].

Your other concerns don't merit consideration. [I've put the other concerns - just a subset of the evidence- in blue]
You have to laugh at this clown, who doesn't merit consideration.

We looked.

I have done volunteer work as a member of the Canadian Nuclear Society. Mostly public education related stuff, like manning booths at science teacher conventions, doing displays and presentations on nuclear energy. I am not a nuclear physicists or engineer, but I am on a first name basis with the top minds in civilian large scale nuclear power generation in North America.

In my almost professional opinion, and I speak for myself here, not the CNS, the people behind the "Nuke Lies" forum should probably be forcibly sterilized to save future generations the emotional burden of knowing that kind of stupid exists in the world.

Very interesting statement by voerioc:

My opinion is that all the guys on those kinds of skeptic forums are mostly just sayanim jews (with maybe a little bit of Freemasons), put there to bury the truth under a flood of crappy comments.

I was a skeptic myself when I was younger and discovered the work of Henri Broch. But, when I discovered the first skeptic forum (near 2000), I was very disappointed. Except for paranormal stuff, they didn't stop to criticize interesting dissident theories (like the one about aids), exactly as perfect conformists. At the beginning, I thought that followers of an intelligent man (Broch) are most of the time stupid people who are nonconformist only on his views but are stupid sheep on every other matters.

But I soon understood that jews controlled most of the well known forums. Then, I understood that those skeptic forums were just other controlled forums.

Which is absolutely clear now when you see that they sustain all official theories, even the most debunked ones (like aids, 9/11, the holocaust, etc...).

And Randi (real name Randall Swinge) is a jew himself. So, it leaves no doubt to the idea that his forum is driven by sayanims operatives.


[Note: Henri Broch is or was a lecturer at Nice University in France, who published on the sort of topics found in 'skeptics' groups—supernatural, paranormal, UFOs, extraterrestrials, Turin shroud, astrology, strange coincidences etc. I think his Zetetic Lab (Faculté de Zététique) in the Nice Faculty of Science, emphasises scientific method. They seem physics oriented; I can't find anything on errors in biological research - rerev]

It says very much in my opinion. You can't have ordinary people having 20.000 messages in only 3 or 4 years. This would mean that they would be on the forum nearly permanently during their free time. People like that are obviously paid to write on forums.

I did a bit of googling: my "real name" is James Randi. I was born Randall Zwinge, but that was legally discarded long ago, and no such person now exists! You're quite right on the attribution of the quotation, however.

In view of what you say about AIDs, 9/11, the 'holocaust' etc, and the fact Christianity is routinely lambasted by the 'Educational Foundation', whereas nothing honest is ever said about Judaism, I'd say the case is fully proven and closed.

I've just noticed there's been some hassle between youtube and 'JREF' in 2009ish, though I'm not sure of its substance. However they claim now they have been 'granted' a non-profit channel, able to post videos of any length, not just ten-minute segments. In fact all Youtube users (apart from copyright infringers) have had this facility for about a year; and before that, the time interval had been extended to fifteen minutes. It doesn't suggest they're very interested in Youtube. In fact the videos I've seen by Randi's outfit are invariably ones dealing only with fringe beliefs, suggesting that Youtube users might be equally uninterested in their evasive propaganda.
__________________________________

This is the 'JREF' 'mission statement': Our mission is to promote critical thinking by reaching out to the public and media with reliable information about paranormal and supernatural ideas so widespread in our society today.

Notice the deliberately misleading wording - it starts by suggesting they promote critical thinking, but then there's a proviso which seems to limit it only to 'paranormal' ideas.
__________________________________

The financial arrangements aren't very clear. They claim to have four 'staff': 'President' D.J. Grothe, 'formerly a professional magician' like Randall himself. Michael Blanford 'Director of Educational Programs', who seems to have worked in science museums in southern USA. Sadie Crabtree, 'Communications Director', who seems to be or have been a female activist of the conventional type - i.e. approved protests only. And Brian Thompson 'Field Coordinator', apparently an Aussie promoting 'science and reason to the widest possible audience'. Note the way their mission statement - on the paranormal - morphs into supposedly scientific topics.

They claim to have five 'research fellows' though there seems no basis for this claim, as they 'have been recognized by the JREF for their contribution to the skeptical movement' - presumably anybody could be 'recognized'. There's one professor of physics, a computer chap with a degree in physics; a man with some sort of qualification(s) in neurology - 'Director of the JREF’s new Science-Based Medicine project'; a research assistant 'pursuing a master’s degree in Communication with a focus on science', and a female 'Linguist and Researcher' at Berkeley who has contributed to a lot of 'skeptic' publications.

I found a poster on their forum who said she was employed by the 'JREF' (called RemieV) and there must be others, though their site search engine is not helpful in locating them.

Controlled experiment time!

The idea of 'orgone energy' (our thread here http://www.nukelies.com/forum/orgone Reich shills Jews etc ) is a Jewish fraud, currently supported by a fraud in the USA who appears to think he's a 'Jew'.

I thought I'd look at 'JREF' (177,453 threads; 7 M + postings) to check on this fraud. There is only one thread on the subject, which says nothing.

So much for their exhaustive investigation and checking-out of unsubstantiated and/or money-making phonies.

_________________________
For what it's worth, there was follow-up material on JREF, some of which they deleted later; here is the deleted stuff, with a few of my comments, some a little ill-tempered. It's interesting to see their fairly complete indifference to anything factual. Voerioc must be right; the extreme posters are paid, or possibly just encouraged, to block up the site with their rubbish....-----

So, the result of your "experiment" was this thread:
http://forums.randi.org/showthread.p...ghlight=orgone

Which you characterize as saying "nothing", despite it containing several links to well-established discussions of orgone energy, and why we know it's bogus.

You also missed this thread, since apparently you're poor at searching:
[I've deleted the other search results, maybe 20 in the body of JREF forum, since he's deliberately avoiding the point, which is that a notorious fraud, orgone energy, is not dealt with as a topic anywhere in the entire 7 M postings]
http://forums.randi.org/showthread.p...ne#post7547856

So, based on the results of my "controlled experiment", I've concluded that you are an incompetent researcher. [I think readers will form an opinon of your 'research' skills!]

He makes a similar "sin by omission" complaint against Ranb in his "troll examples" thread.

Quote:
[2] Repeated omissions of important information.
** Ranb never once refers to the 'Samson Option', a clear nuclear threat
** Ranb never comments on the clear proof of Jewish involvement in nuclear fraud
** Ranb does not mention the faked film evidence
Is there a specific logical fallacy name for using this in an argument? Or is this technique just too stupid to even merit mention?

I don't know if it has a formal name, but he does seem to do it a lot, as seen in this earlier post. It would seem that he thinks if you don't have an opinion on all the topics he considers to be important, you're not allowed to have opinions on any of them. [Note: this was linked to a post which "doesn't merit consideration" Craig 'answered', above]

How do you say "All or nothing" in Latin? "Cunctus aut nihil", does that sound good?

The founding date (from the same list) appears to be 10th April 2001 with Randall's own sign-in, with 22 July 2001 being the start of other peoples' registrations. Capeldodger (listed above) joined on Sept 11th 2001. It's even possible the thing was set up, or hijacked, as a disinformation source, in the anticipation and then the reality of 9/11.

The posting record appears to be held by 'Prometheus' and 'JihadJane', with about 200 postings on average every week for three or fours years. However, this excludes prolific recent joiners who haven't had time to build up a large total. Also, obviously, some posters may use more than one name.

A few of these people showed up re NukeLies here.

To get some feeling for the utter threadbare piffle 'JREF'' encourages - 'educational' is obviously a joke - look at the members list, sort by number of posts, select a prolific poster, go to 'View Public Profile', select 'Show All Statistics', then select 'Find All Threads Started by [nickname]'. Or select 'Find All Posts By' [nickname] though the originator material presumably gives a better indicator of the knowledge, outlook etc of the poster.

There's another site - skeptic dot com - which is closely similar to 'JREF'.

We can also notice that, "of course", many of them claim they have worked in nuclear submarines or in nuclear power plant, whereas the probability of having so many people having this kind of experience in just one forum is very limited.

It was the same thing in the "above top secret" forum (a jewish controlled forum). There was a thread about nuke myth on it. And, same thing, there was many of them claiming to have worked in nuclear submarines or power plants. False testimonies are always used by jews in order to convince people of something. [Emphasis inserted 4-Aug-2015. It is indeed part of the 'jewish 'religious' system - RW].

LSSBB :
I have been in the nuclear plant of a submarine, and been on board that submarine underwater for over two weeks observing its operations first hand. There was no other source of power than the nuclear power plant.

My best friend and countless co-workers I know have worked in nuclear power plants on submarines, aircraft carriers, and electrical power generating stations. None have intimated it was all an elaborate hoax.

My son is currently in training to run nuclear power plants.

Just like the nuclear powered icebreaker I spent some time on.


Sam.I.Am
I hate to break it to you but nuclear power is very real. I have spent over 2 years in total underwater over 8 strategic deterrent patrols along with taking a boat out of a shipyard and even test firing the weapons systems.


tsig
Funny, I worked on nuclear weapons for four years in the USAF and they sure looked real.


Captain_Swoop
We carried 'Special Weapons' onthe AS Frigates I serverd on in the 80s. Nuclear Depth Bombs . They were to take out Russian Subs if the war started. We trained in their use and were prepared to use them if the orders came.


And it was just on the first page.

I'm unemployed, with a BA+BFA,(anthropology+film making) DSL and OCD. I find your pathetic attempts character assassination mildly irksome, like an itchy ankle.

Instead of attempting to discredit me by noting my post count on some other forum, (if you want more basis of comparison, check on me at Icke and Apollohoax :roll: ) perhaps you could present actual evidence discrediting statements I've made on THIS forum?

No, thanks. I'm not interested. You're a timewaster.

More boring troll rubbish from JREF....
... these posts were essentially removed from a nukelies thread. I'll quote them here in case someone says I'm being nasty etc.

Ah. I see my post was moved again from Science, Maths etc.

I'd recommend anyone serious to look at http://www.nukelies.com - updated to nukelies.org (incidentally we've added a multilingual outreach thing with machine translations - they sometimes attract casual googlers. We included e.g. Azerbaijani, Latvian, Hindi... I hadn't known Georgian has its own Hobbit-like script). I think it's having some effect - we've had a couple of views from Hiroshima - I hope their tourist industry isn't too worried.

The meat of the site is arranged a nuclear bomb myths (past), and nuclear bomb myths (future), the latter dealing with escape strategies they're trying to use to phase out supposed bombs - Ward Wilson of the 'Monterey Insitute' is an interesting example of the way past 'facts' are diluted and adjusted. There's also obviously a section on Hiroshima & Nagasaki, and one on science/ technology.
____________________________

Anyway I want to reply specifically to three complainants, ApolloGnomon, Ranb, and Dinwar.

ApolloGnomon appears to be an unemployed graduate in - I think anthropology. He posted a series of comments on the 'moon landings'. There are of course countless arguments against these, but specifically biological ones, such as problems with food, water, oxygen, temperature, and excretion, haven't been common. (As far as I know). Thus it would have made sense for NASA to build a vacuum chamber, equip it with heating and lighting equivalent to the sun on the moon, and instal something like cooling walls to simulate the effects of deep space. Then the 'astronauts' could go out in their suits and backpack into the vacuum chamber and live for a few days. If they were serious, NASA would of course have done this. ApolloGnomon simply continued to quote or paste material claiming e.g. NASA had tests done on fabric. In short, he's a timewaster.

RanB is a different type of spammer. He typed a few dozen posts, which are still on the site, though he doesn't show as the author on searching. (Search for Ranb in content). He's one of these irritating spammers who supplies nothing new, nothing referenced, nothing substantial. He wasted time for example on the Ferebee bombsight issue, which FirstClassSkeptic researched, and proved there was only a 50% chance of even getting near Hiroshima.

Here are two specimen postings by 'Ranb'
Re: NASA - to what extent was/is this a Jewish fraud?
I have examined the evidence, the Apollo moon landings were real. Therefore it was not a fraud, much less a jewish run fraud. Every piece of "evidence" that a person has brought forward as an Apollo hoax has been inadequate. What is your best evidence?
Ranb

I see nothing convincing that an atomic bomb was not used. Why do you believe this?
Ranb

Ranb is another timewaster, of the sort that JREF encourage because they aren't interested in serious debate.
[Warning note added 30 August 2014] 'RanB' was a persistent troll on this site. Here's an entry (about three years later) in James Randi's disinfo site. Habitual liars find it hard to tell the truth...]


Dinwar says somewhere that the facts have been known for over half a century or something similar, implying that it's unreasonable to ask for something new from contributors. In point of fact it is not true that all the facts are known. And what's important also is interpretation. For example, I doubt whether the financing arrangements of the Manhattan Project by Alexander Sachs have been made public. I doubt whether archival information is available about Stalin's decisions to invade (or not) Europe and Japan after the announcement of 'nuclear weapons'. I doubt whether the experiment supposedly causing Einstein to write to FDR has been replicated - the evidence suggests it is highly suspect, since for example some of the experiments took weeks and any temperature rise must have been hard to measure, and such products as supposedly barium would be difficult to detect. Similarly the orders followed by US occupation forces in Japan as regards censorship are unlikely to be available. Just a few of a multiplicity of problems.

Frenat, I understand your puzzlement over original ideas - presumably you've never had any, so it's not a request you could understand.

As for testing euqipment in a moon-like environment, well, the theory was this was to be a new achievement unlike anything attempted before. Now, for example pilots use what are called flight simulator - I don't know if you've heard of them - which try to realistically simulate what a plane or other craft would be like to handle. If someone's being sent out to a hostile terrain unlike anything ever attempted, it seems reasonable enough to test the whole thing, including the burdens imposed on the crew.

sts60 [Note: sts60 claimed (It so happens I personally participated in spacecraft thermal vac testing in the very same chamber in the '90s, so I am reasonably familiar with said facility.) though he disappointingly added nothing] after a bit of googling on Chamber B and 'thermovacuum testing' I found just these two stills on the NASA website. Both captioned Astronaut Neil Armstrong during thermovacuum training, and both dated 1969-05-07; are they convincing proof of thorough training?-- [pictures as in the piece on NASA and vacuums]

I don't personally find those very convincing. However you're claiming to have been there (or something). Maybe you could explain whether the 'astronaut' equipment was tested over several days, for example? Or maybe you have more information.

Craig4 there's plenty of scientific, and historical, information on the site. It would need you to read it, though.

Dancing David - you don't seem able to distinguish different hypotheses. It's possible that radioactive isotopes exist, but that nuclear weapons can't work. It's possible that accidents can happen which are not nuclear-related. It's possible that the function of some installation is not as popularly understood. It's possible a lot of heat may be generated, but a thing won't explode.
