Prison Planet sledges skeptics, the JREF and BBC

[Snixtor]

I'm a bit new to this, so may be a bit naive as to the nature of prison planet. I can clearly see that they love to foster conspiracy theories, and maybe the attitude of this article is typical fare. Maybe there's even an established, unspoken guideline of "oh we ignore them now in the hopes they'll just go away". But this article sure caught my eye.

" Self professed “skeptics” claim they promote critical thinking while doing the exact opposite "

Talk about some misguided slop...

More limey garbage from the global center of tyranny, England. $#%^ you, England — we’ll be fixing your wagon soon, don’t worry!

The amazing Randi was a magician who debunked true frauds when alive. I don’t recall him ever trying to reinforce false arguments about political events. Sounds like his foundation has been taken over by limey intel operatives.

{Randi/mode} The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. {Randi/mode}

This is a very similar thread to this one When sceptics fight back

I tried posting the article to reddit.com . Unforunately the twoofer force is strong with the libertarians.

I'm so confused.

The BBC report on JREF brazenly lumps in questions over the 9/11 attacks with moon landing conspiracies and individuals who claim to have paranormal spoon-bending powers.

Isn't he risking alienating a huge portion of his audience here?

The commentary produces more gems.

Anyone care to call him up and tell him he's dead?

The Amazing Randi is garbage personified. Total spook operative- always has been. He IS “The Usual Suspect” when it comes to debunking the truth. Began his career faking Houdini tricks and denouncing “Spiritualists” whatever the f*ck that is.

I love this. Is it implying that Houdini was doing real supernatural activity and that Randi was faking it? I thought that charge was dead with Doyle, but I guess no rabbit hole is too deep for Jones and his followers.

I fully-believe that 32,000 scientists that refused to go along with the flawed report from the IPCC on the basis that it was all political and “lacked any credible science” as opposed to the mere 600 who went along without question, as more qualified to give a valid assessment of what was really going on. Hmmmm! :::

32,000 / 600 = 53.333333

It's so nice to see them bring the same clear thinking and common sense that lead them to their thoughts on the subject of 9/11 to the pressing issue of Climate Change. And by nice I mean frikkin hilarious.

And... clockwork:

The BBC bastion of truth, impartiality, integrity? If you believe this, you’ll believe Bush was the greaterst prez ever. The current and previous Chairmen of the BBC are jews. The wife of its Director-General is a jew and so are some other senior staff. Don’t believe me? See this http://pakalert.wordpress.com/.....olled-bbc/. Also check out Robert Fisk’s article “How Can You Trust the Cowardly BBC” here http://www.independent.co.uk/o.....69281.html

I now prefer to think of the British Broadcasting Company as the B’naiB’rith Broadcasting Company.

Curtains.

I love the ads on the side panel. It's clear as day Jones is it in for the money from the gullible conspiracy theorist. If this site doesn't make it obvious then I don't know what would.

"Alex Jones and GCNLIVE.COM have teamed up to offer you an exclusive deal on gold and silver coins. For those of you; who, are tired of watching your liberty vanish, market volatility induced by Washington Bureaucrats handing out your tax dollars like bail out candy, financed by a fiat paper printing press system, which drives our nation down a spiral of compounding interest and perpetual debt: you may want to consider Gold and Silver."

Reminds of those snake oil ads (mind you i'm not saying gold is a bad investment in itself) for miracle water or prayer clothes.

Of course, we all know the reason the 9/11 nonsense is cobbled together with spoon-bending and psychic nonsense - because they're based on the same kind of bad reasoning. But it really must annoy the stuffing out of believers in each of those things to be lumped together with the other things; I'm surprised that this is the first time I've seen someone actually complain about it.

Well, there seems to be a lot of assertion, not much evidence there.

Another good Stundie contender. Part of the "article" was lambasting Jon Ronson for suggesting that CTist tended to hate Jews. PP debunked by their own customers!

Glad to see I am not the only one who read this article and its comments and thought WTF. Although I kinda like being referred to as a limey intel operative.
