Early Adopters Read Shit That Doesn't Fit Their Reality

This is a really important talk on how reality is being shape by Google and Facebook algorithms. I'm very uneasy that my Facebook Stream is only loaded with people who agree with me (and there's not many of them either) but there was a time when I got exposure to new ideas and counter opinions. Not any more and I wonder if that means the internet is becoming a pajama party so much so that real life becomes a disorienting experience when people disagree with our views. This is actually a long an fascinating topic on how reality is painted and I suspect there's a glimmer of the good is being facilitated more than the bad, but not in a way that allows the good to deal with the bad when it is encountered.

Douglas Dietrich - Debunking Mickey Mouse History

Douglas Dietrich Independent Historian by Charlesfrith on Mixcloud

The most important thing I've learned from Douglas Dietrich's work is how easy it is for English language press media and history books to spin a story that is at odds with the facts. In the case of Japan's much more cleverly negotiated peace treaty (than the myth of atomic defeat) they've not seen any advantage in talking about their negotiated settlement points and so the real ending of the war is a fairy tale.

Nick Pope's Lies - The Ministry Of Defence's Obsession With Controlling The UFO Story

Nick Pope used to work for the Ministry of Defence MOD as a UFO denier spokesman and now makes a living on the UFO lecture circuit as a UFO agnostic.  Regrettably he is wheeled out every time the British media want an opinion. In effect he is still on an MOD pension.

Colin Andrews has already called Nick Pope out as a liar on the crop circle and UFO connection to the Royal Family and Ministry of Defence as I've blogged twice and Dr David Clarke has written an expose of the MOD/Nick Pope duality online as well as in interviews.

For the media to invite Nick Fucking Pope for his opinion is like a new game show proposal for the Captain of the Concordia to tell us how to run a luxury cruise liner.
