I have unfortunately spent too much time today reading this series on dinosaur hoaxes at Agent 13 substack. To the point that I am beginning to question how much of the dinosaur theory is real. It is a long series of posts in 5 parts so will take you a while to read, but is definitely worth it, and pretty well-written too.
Let’s be clear that I am not a “the Earth is only 6,000 year old” weirdo, and absolutely, never have been, and never will be a Flat Earther, but the dinosaur thing I always knew was dodgy to some degree or other. It’s just that the degree of it has never been clear to me because primarily I wasn’t too concerned with looking into it. And I like the idea of dinosaurs. And I like the idea of them coming back and eating all the stupid people.
Agent 13 makes a good case and it is also clear he doesn’t disbelieve all fossils, since like amny of us, he has found some himself, but they tend to be little ones mostly of shells and such things.
The one on the left was a gift to me and the one on the right my wife found as a girl in her garden by randomly bashing a rock open with a hammer. So fossils do exist.
What I always questioned, even as a child, was a lot of the narrative around them, such as what they said they looked like exactly, what they ate, or what kind of vascular system they had. I have also been aware for a long time that no actual full skeleton or skull of a T-Rex has ever been found and I became aware of Marsh and Cope as a result of reading Michael Crichton’s book Dragon Teeth based on them and the fictional account of some of the characters around them in one of his earlier books, which I read only a couple of years ago.
I still hope T-Rexes really existed, along with all the other fantastic creatures, however, I am absolutely open to the idea that they were either vastly different than we have been told, or possibly, even almost entirely fabricated.
On the other hand, I am very open to the idea that giant humanoids at least 3 metres (10 feet) or so in height have existed at some point in the past.
You still get banned on sight here for suggesting the Earth is flat though. Especially if you base it on the absolutely ignorant rendering of the word “firmament” in the Freemason Bible ordered by the famously homosexual King James, with it’s 33,000 “errors” of translation, and 700 years of editing by literal Christ killing Pharisees before the German with a penchant for raping maids decided to alter it further before declaring it the one book that is the totality of Christianity on its own (but not before he ripped out books from it apparently).
And my views on the Moon landing have been made clear in both video and my SF series Overlords of Mars, which is wholly encapsulated in the tome Nazi Moon (paper copy), or digital version.
And yeah, I also am not a believer in any kind of Hollow Earth theory, though I do really like the idea of it as a fantasy/escapist concept.
So there you are. Let me know your thoughts.
Comment Moderation
Apologies for the last few days of sparse posting and non-moderation of comments, but I have been busy. Hopefully I am now back at a more routine posting frequency and with regard to comments, please note that even if you are a regular commentator here, all comments are moderated and it can take me a day or more to get to them at times. Though usually not a week as it has this time. Partly this is due to whatever update broke the ability to review comments on my phone, so it means I need to log into my pc to view and moderate them.
And also never forget that commenting on here has certain rules that are enforced with a brutality akin to Judge Joe Dredd in the 2000 AD comic. You can disagree with me as hard as you want as long as you are COGENT and ON TOPIC and don’t make the usual idiotic errors of strawmanning, expressing an opinion that has been repeatedly proven to be idiotic and wrong and/or you ignore the actual content of the post to sperg in yet again, mouth-breathing retard fashion. There are no warnings on this blog. If you make a comment that falls under those categories you just get spammed. And I never look back. Life is too short for me to waste time with people whose opinions or comments or “ideas” are absolutely irrelevant to reality and my life.
I welcome intelligent commentary that is relevant, adds to the conversation, or expresses even a personal opinion that is in keeping with he commenting rules. And as a result thought the brutal enforcement has kept commenting to a general minimum, the comments we do have on here are now generally of a very good quality hat I genuinely enjoy reading and responding to when required.
