A chance meeting in Seattle. Perhaps.

Imagine you are sitting in (say) an airport lounge and get chatting to a guy at the bar as you wait for your flight. Smalltalk ensues and you are told that the person you are chatting to is an author. Not just a wannabe author but a published author. Impressive you may think. What sort of author you ask. Historical, fiction, scientific perhaps ?

You are then informed that your new drinking buddy is a published author in fields such as astronomy, physics, metaphysics and consciousness. Excellent you think. Since airport bar smalltalk usually revolves around work and family. Then comes the stark realisation that while you may indeed be talking to an author, this author believes some really crazy things indeed.

He tells you that there is a ziggurat not unlike the one at Ur in modern day Iraq on the Moon. You ask in amazement what is different from this "Moon ziggurat" to the Ur construction and are told that the ziggurat on the Moon is one mile square as compared to 65m long 45m wide and 30m high here on Earth.

You eye the exits. All three of them. Just in case. You are then informed that not only is this astonishing construction being hidden by NASA and indeed every other space-faring nation on the planet but there are more images available that clearly show that there are artificial structures all over the Moon, and indeed Mars too.

You ask why has nobody been made aware of this and are told that every space faring nation on planet Earth are in on a conspiracy to hide this fact from the entire human race. They employ battalions of people armed with airbrush tools and Photoshop. They tirelessly go over every single image returned to earth and airbrush out all the ziggurats, broken robots and apartment buildings. Not to mention 3 mile high glass towers and domes as well as flying saucers in hangars, gun emplacements and satellite dishes.

Hang on a second you say. Wouldn't it be impossible for every nation that has a vested interest in spaceflight to keep this secret. Given the resource that would have to be made available to ensure the airbrushing went to order and that nobody spoke about it.

You are then confidently assured that NASA, being run by Nazi's Freemasons and magicians are more than capable of ensuring people stay quiet, but there are a few "good guys" in these agencies that conveniently forget to airbrush a tank, or dome or ziggurat here and there so that there is a constant drip feed of information being made available to people who are smart enough to know how to manipulate the images and see what's really there. People like him and his venerable friend and co-author.

You tell your new drinking buddy that even without looking at his evidence it cannot be the case. Since even a small dose of critical thinking points to the hypothesis being false. Your new buddy now calls you a fucking douchebag faggot.

You look him straight in the eye and ask him politely if he would care to repeat that to your face in the parking lot. He mumbles something incoherent and you catch a faint whiff of human excrement in the air.

You leave by the nearest exit and go find another bar leaving your ex friend to contemplate the mess in his trousers.

Mike Bara brags of his success with women.

Oh deary, deary me. Mike Bara has once again plumbed the depths of depravity. Yet more misogyny from the bloated one. He spends Saturday evenings in the company of his pet cats and spams farcebook and twatter about it. He has never mentioned a single significant other in his life, yet makes claims that would appear to put him in the same category as a super handsome playboy.

Believe me folks. If Mike Bara ever scores with a hot lady he will be all over social media like a rash bragging like a teenager who managed a quick grope at a cinema. And whomever Margie Johnson is she cannot be aware that a woman worthy of Mike Bara would cost something under $5.

Mike Bara super stud

Mike Bara demands to be paid.

How much do "expenses" cost for a filthy liar. I'd love to know. Mike Bara (the filthy liar in question) is complaining that he has been waiting 6 weeks for his expenses from some woo-conference or other. As hard as it is to imagine that people would actually pay to listen to Mike Bara make things up I guess he has cats to feed and rent to pay.

I honestly wonder how these third rate authors and woo-conference regulars actually make a living. As I understand it David Wilcock and Steven Greer are out in front in the financial stakes by quite some margin.

I know people "donate" via pay pal to the likes of Kerry Cassidy, and apparently at one time Hoagland was accepting donations via pay pal for entry to his enterprise forum. Hoagland has also used his facebook page to beg for money to fund research trips which never happened. Hoagland of course trousered the cash and never refunded a cent to the absolute fucking idiots people who donated.

 

Mike Bara demands his expenses.

One may think that there is only so much cash to go around. So there must be competition for that cash. Hoagland would breathlessly tell us that disclosure was imminent and that he was about to save the world. If of course his utter made up shite "model" was correct. Mike Bara to his credit actually produces tangible work in the form of books. Albeit terrible books devoid of facts. As far as I know Bara has not resorted to begging for donations yet.

Nevertheless isn't it odd that all these amoral arseholes who claim to be "in the know" or in possession of "the truth" want to sell it ? - Just tell your story if you have one then go get a fucking proper job you bunch of lazy woo-meister bastards.

Ok Hoagland - show me the skyscrapers.

Hi Richard,

Please take a look at the latest fantastic images from comet 67P reported today by the BBC. Look at the detail. The closeup views of the proposed landing sites are quite something to behold.

I doubt you will be able to convince any but your most blind cult members to sap up any further hogwash about "skyscrapers on this clearly artificial ancient space station."

Mike Bara will of course back you up. Since he has never contradicted you about anything. But even Bara who is getting far more airtime than you these past couple of years is wisely keeping his mouth shut.

Is this it for you now Richard. It's pretty much game over. No radio, no conferences, no nothing. Better get working on that book that was first announced 14 years ago.

Oh, and perhaps you "might" get some conference invites when you start realising that you are not an A-Lister in the woo community anymore, and stop asking for first class travel for you AND your partner. Then asking for first class hotels and fifty plus percent of the house takings. Travel cattle class, sleep at a Travelodge and leave the woman at home. That's what the rest of them do.

The only thing to light up the skies were Richard C. Hoagland's filthy big lies.

Hello Gentlemen (and Mike),

It's over Richard. Admit it. Sure it was good while it lasted but all good things must come to an end. Even the careers of pretend-scientists. Mike Bara's career won't be far behind either. Although to be fair he only pretends to be an engineer.

You will notice if you have the gonads to follow the supplied link, that many of these comments are coming from ex-Hoagland fans. People who used to buy into your fear porn and bullshit. Looks like YU55 and Elenin (as discussed on my attack-blog) really were the final nails in the coffin lid of your career.

At least you had a career of sorts. Poor Mike is just a stand-in with a leather jacket, and a bad comb over, reduced to projecting his own utter failures as a human being onto others.

Kindest Regards

The fans are revolting.

 Here are some comments I have assembled regarding Hoagland's mendacity over the past couple of years. Notably with regard to asteroid YU55 and comet Elenin. These comments were taken primarily from YouTube. One should remember that many of these people used to buy into Hoagland's lies. Oh how the mighty have fallen. His credibility is at an all time low.



Jett Rink

When Richard Hoagland predicts something, I hope he says it will hit my house. That way I will know for certain that I am 100% safe, because Hoagland is ALWAYS wrong.

oldeubank

Hmmm...I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure that Richard C. Hoagland is not taken seriously by anybody in the scientific, skeptic or astronomical communities.

crackparty

This just goes to show, no matter how much info you throw at ppl, they will always claim it's doomsday or blow it up bigger than it should be. Richard hoagland also believed elenin was a space ship..........

almahdi20

it's December 1st and I don't feel dead. Maybe Mr. Hoagland (or Hoaxland) should stick to writing scifi. he could really make some money with these wild tales. Oh, BTW, he's on Coast to Coast right now spouting the same nonsense!

Malc666the1

lol Elenin fizzed now we got this.....

RoadRunnerLaser

Richard Hoagland's source is deep inside his own rectum. The guy is a crackpot and anyone who swallows his bullshit really should come and buy one of my exclusive bridges.

dreampurplequeen1

i think richard hoagland has discredited himself..you cant believe anything he says, nothing he said has come true..its a shame I should to like him, now i think he's full of shit.

RoadRunnerLaser

You're right. If this should happen, we'd witness something really major - ie Richard Hoagland actually being right about something for once in his miserable, worthless, dishonest life !

Spaceflightlover2010

Hoagland said this? Now I KNOW there is no danger.

Ted Judah

Richard Hoagland has spewed sooo many claims that have been demonstrably proven false. To pseudo-quote Mark Twain: I don't take no stock in Richard Hoagland. And neither should you.

BlueIndy1

Here it is Dec 27th, 2011. Earth is here. The Moon is here. Nothing hit anything - unless you count Hoagland's already piss-poor reputation took another hit. What a pile of gullible crap. Watch the same thing happen in Dec, 2012. NOTHING. Scientific illiteracy in this country is a national disgrace.

1TacticalMedic

He is a dip shit! Wrong again idiot!!!! How are you ever gonna go on air again and speak! You have lost all credibility

INNERVOICExx36

Richard Hoagland.. LOL. What a joke.

infinitywon

Richard Hoagland is an idiot and you are too for believing him.

Art Warfy

Hoagland is the premiere fake. Zero credentials... check it out yourself.

KingofGUI

Hoagland epic fail......again. What a tool.

Sumer61

What a crock of shit! When is this stupid old fool going to shut his damn trap!

EZMosquito11

Richard C. Hoagland also believes that peruvian cows can speak french if you take the time to teach them! He is as dumb as George Noory!

Billthesheepdog

Just a small question? Has Hoagland ever been right about anything? Ever?

MrFBCBSALES

After this dip shits stupid predictions about Elenin who could ever care again what hoagland says about anything. He is a fool and so also is anyone that pays any attention to what this moron says. And you are just another fool You Tube idiot that should be licking his balls rather than trying to make a video!

Derek Eunson

Hoagland has no mathematical abilities whatsoever. His Elenin probabilities equation falls to pieces when he allows a division by zero possibility when assigning numbers to Elenin's inclination. Utter junk science. And what the FUCK he's telling people that Obama is the reincarnation of the Egyptian god Horus. Serious snake oil.

MrFBCBSALES

After this dip shits stupid predictions about Elenin who could ever care again what Hoagland says about anything. He is a fool and so also is anyone that pays any attention to what this moron says. And you are just another fool You Tube idiot that should be licking his balls rather than trying to make a video!

DoctorMaxMoebius

Hoagland loves to hear himself talk. Does he EVER get to the point? What a windbag! And Tea Leoni's dad in Deep Impact was Maximillian Schell, not Omar Sharif, you thick twit!  And jesus, you could get to your point in about 1/3 of the time. But you're a tool, so why expect anything else..

Sol Sharif

Hoagland did a mong

colloredbrothers

a load of bullshit, and I'm a conspiracy guy, but this is all bollocks

David Evans

If one of these conspiracy theorists who "know the hidden truth" could please just not have fucked up weird hair, fucked up weird jewelry or had just a credible appearance it would help the cause greatly. Looking like your alcoholic never-married middle aged uncle who moved to Arizona because of the harmonic convergence of Turquoise energy doesn't help give you or what you're saying any credibility, and credibility is the most important commodity in the who conspiracy theory racket.

hitcan79

Jesus he has been speaking for one hour but hasn't fucking said anything

kevin weiler

how many god damn times did he say "later in the evening"? I mean jesus fucking Christ get on with it already. this is 3 and half hrs? could of easily been 1 and a half if this idiot got to the point sometimes

ThePearsch

"I'll tell you a secret at the end" didn't inspire me to watch this documentary all the way through. I only got to about 1/3, and decided he has a stripped gear.

hitcan79

No idea why youtube posted my comment twice but anyway I think this man is really retarded, I will never watch another video of this man, He keeps goimg on and on about something "if he's right".. god damn he is just fucking blowing smoke up this audience's asses, its always something that is gonna happen I the next few weeks and months "if he's right" fuck me, he was wrong about the space progrm, he full of shit about there being something specific about 39 people that died when halebop went by, I think this retard should be medicated and locked in a nut house, and his fear porn bullshit is lame, this was three hours of pure fucking nonsense, bullshit.

RAIDERS58th

Ahhhh... my man, Mr Richard Hoagland. The only motherfucker I know who can talk for 2 hours - and say fuck all!

 

 

waz wazz

any one know if this clown gets paid for these talks I bet he does , he presents no real facts, not one iota , folks u are getting ripped good if u pay too see this arsehole speak his lies in fact I think he is a disinfo agent / misinfo spreader!!

Oscar Delta

Hoagland is the Benny Hill of space conspiracy theorists, he is playing all of his followers like a fiddle. Wonder how much his followers pay him yearly to listen to his BS just like Greer...

Mark Manning

I can't stand this richard c hoagland buffoon.He is so in love with himself.He mentions,china,russia,nasa,like he actually is an inside man.And walter cronkite.Usually when arrogant aholes like him do this,they know nothing.And the people they mention as confidants,when asked about hoagland they say WHO?I got sick of this dildo hearing him and george noory on coast to coast.Always much talk indicating how smart he is,then him and geirgie boy exchanging compliments towards one another.A bunch of hot air with nothing ever being proven.Since this is july 10,2014.Obviously nothing this conceited prick spoke of came to pass.Not even close.Fraudulent human being,constantly bragging on his 20 thousand fb friends or fans I think he'll call them.Someone should knock this twit out.
His foolish assumptions that obama will jump back into the space program full bore is pathetic.I'm hearing his self important voice and assertions while commenting on this waste of human flesh and bone.He speaks of movies as if they are a reality.I hate this guy.Won't ever listen to this know nothing again.

The comic book scientist and the price of lunacy

I got wondering.

Since Hoagland's last performance on radio was such an unmitigated disaster. When did he start to really lose the place. Yes, it could be said that it may even be as far back as when he first got into the face on Mars rubbish.

Then I thought wait a minute. At least back then he wasn't telling us that comets were space stations and that the global elites were sending each other coded messages via artificial asteroids, space-station-comets and Hollywood.

Was it when the pseudoscientist was in his John Carter of Mars phase ?

Hoagland tells us the above is actually real.

Was it when the delusional one was in his Tom Corbett Space Cadet phase ?

Hoagland also thinks this is real.

Then it came to me. It all started when he began to lose the battle to convince people that his face on Mars hypothesis was just a complete and utter mish-mash of "sciency sounding" bunk. Hoagland loves to talk about his "decades long demonstrated scientific competence" - decades long scientific made up shite more like. Now he's just a sad parody of himself squealing louder and ever more shrilly trying to get attention with his absolutely unbelievably insane babble. I actually have a bit of sympathy for the poor fucker. Seriously.

Pot kettle and black. Mister Bara.

Hi Mike,

Taken from your most recent bloggery.....

"None of this should really come as a surprise to anybody who knows anything about Plait or his tactics. He's a well established, inveterate liar who never argues science, logic or facts, but rather prefers to use the time honored debunking techniques of character assassination and personal attack."  - Mike Bara on Dr Phil Plait.

Well Mike that takes the biscuit don't you think. You are the one who;

• Uses insult as a stand in for debate
• Conveniently forgets the best ever image of the face
• Refuses to debate Dr Robbins. Preferring instead to hide and throw insults to which Robbins has no avenue of immediate reply.
• Call female critics ugly and cunts
• Refer to male critics as homosexuals

Pot kettle and black. Dude you should take a good look at yourself. Dressing up as a caring messenger who brings the real truth. You are a liar (and I can prove it), you have no degree in engineering (and I can prove it), you are guilty of all the wicked bullet points above (and I can prove it), you shit yourself seven shades of shit when radio hosts bring up Dr Robbins and debate (anyone can prove that - they just need to listen to your voice changing and your bottom lip beginning to tremble at the mere mention of debate with a real scientist.)

I'd put my mortgage (if I still had one) on you never having the guts to debate Robbins. You keep running and hiding from him, and I expect more of the same. It is obvious that you suffer from insecurities probably related to weight issues and your inability to maintain or possibly even enter a relationship with a woman.

It's bad form Mike. Please stop lying. Then we will have no option other than to stop exposing your lies.

Kindest Regards

Hoagland calls on his "fans" to petition Elon Musk

Last week during his unusually less than enthusiastic radio appearance with John B. Wells on the "Caravan to Midnight" internet radio show Hoagland made the usual preposterous claims about comets being space stations, or space ships, or space craft. He also informed the great unenlightened and unwashed, that not only was comet 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko not a comet. But as well as being a space-craft-thing it had skyscrapers and buildings and arcology all over it.

He then went on to ask his fans to petition Elon Musk. Yes he of SpaceX fame whom Hoagland referred to  as "Mister Ego." Yes, I laughed at the irony of that statement too.....He asked his "fans" to email or fax or phone Musk telling him to look at Hoagland's data (which of course is always stunningly confirmatory) that shows ancient space ships, buildings, and arcology on comets, the Moon, Mars and just about every other solid body in the solar system. He has the resources to do it yelped Hoagland almost reaching the shrill tones of his more usual breathless performances.

Wells asked Hoagland if he had met Musk. Hoagland replied that he had spoken to him briefly at some point in the past. Generally this would have been Hoagland's cue to claim Musk as his "good friend." But not this time. Hoagland wanted his fans to petition Musk with the message that "Hoagland would be contacting him."

I can imagine Musk saying something along the lines of, "who the fuck is this Hoagland nutcase. I've got better things to do with my cash than throw it at abject morons or lunatics."

The Z-listers

What is so attractive about being a z-list celebrity. I cannot think of a
single reason that such status would appeal to me. Nor can I imagine what
being a z-lister must actually be like. Would it be like a soap actor from
a 30 years ago cancelled show who is still clinging on by opening
"everything for £1" supermarkets ? Or would it be even sadder than that.

We know why Mike Bara enjoys his z-list status so much. He tells us in no
uncertain terms that a relatively new BMW 7 series, living on Redondo beach
CA, strippers and porn starlets half his age are high on his list of
reasons. You see Mike is fat. Really fat, and he has no track record of
success with women. If he did he would be all over social media telling us
about it. Instead he uses his minor status to pretend he gets the girls to
his small Twitter following.

Richard C. Hoagland is not a mysoginistic homophobe like Mike Bara. He is
in a long term stable relationship with a woman unlike Mike Bara. So what
floats Hoagland's boat ? - I would tentatively suggest a few things; money,
money, money, a need to maintain the  fawning adoration from his
congregation, desperation to be seen as a real scientist, utterly desperate
to be accepted in mainstream, and of course to slag off NASA because of a
decades long grudge since they refused him press accreditation. Oh and ego.
Hoagland has a huge fucking ego. Hoagland's ego could easily be a stand in
for "yo Mama" in all the yo Mama jokes. "Yo ego is so fat....get the
picture.

Hoagland failing

Mike Bara - The scientific method redefined.

Hi Mike,

I heard you defend your hypothesis that there are ancient mechanical objects and machine parts all over Mars on radio. The way you researched these "finds" was to send them to one of your facebook friends declaring that "she is a real gear-head, and she came back saying oh yeah that's a turbo charger, and that's a compressor....etc"

Wow, just wow. You call this research and have the audacity to redefine the scientific method. Pure genius mate. Just pure genius.

Has Hoagland actually lost the plot and went insane

I listened to Richard C. Hoagland's performance on John B. Wells' "Caravan to Midnight" radio show. It was utterly pathetic. So pathetic in fact that it began to get me annoyed. Normally I find Hoagland a little entertaining. Entertaining in a "small monkey in a fez" kind of way. But this was an unmitigated disaster. A clusterfuck of Elenin proportions.

Was this lunatic actually trying to convince the listeners that the terror group ISIS are actually named after the ancient Egyptian god and that their agenda is part of some global elite conspiracy. After all, the Illuminati and the world's elite all worship ancient Egyptian gods don't they. So it's not that much of a leap to assume that the elites also control the ISIS terrorists. I am not making this up.

We were also told that comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko is an ancient space station/space craft/ space ship. This is standard Hoagland fare of course. But it was the manner in which all this drivel was presented. Gone was the breathless delivery. In fact he sounded as if even he didn't believe the gobshite that was gushing forth from his lying mouth.

Perhaps the fact that he knows he is being scrutinised and every mistake will be jumped on. Every failed prediction, every ridiculous claim of ancient spacecraft comets will be highlighted.

Hoagland was pathetic. I think he's finally and totally lost the plot.

Mysoginist Mikey scores own goal

Hi Mike,

I noticed on your twitter feed you posted a link to debunking the debunkers. Very interesting. Don't you think the below list which is taken directly from the site you point to describes you perfectly. Nice own goal Mikey

DJE

How Can We Identify Them?

1. Vicious attacks against the person who is providing the information rather than the facts themselves.
2. Name-calling and mud-slinging with no evidence.
3. Malicious disregard for the value of public debate and discussion, as if to question or bring up an alternative view is to be shunned.
4. No proposed solutions to the problem being discussed.
5. Lack of facts or rational logic to support their argument.

HOAGLAND BREAKS COVER

Expat has blogged a terrific deconstruction of Hoagland's latest internet radio woo-woo.

Hi Richard,

Predictable as ever. Comet 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko is artificial. Just like Elenin, Phobos, Deimos, Hale-Bopp, Ison and the rest.

Come on man you can do better than that. Remember you were saying 1997 was the end of the Mayan calendar, then it was 2012, and now you say 2016. Make your bloody mind up for goodness sake.

I don't expect you to answer this but I will ask anyway. Since your ex fawning acolyte Mike Bara has output more books in 2 years than you have managed in over 40 years. And huge swathes of Mike's "research" is plundered wholly from your own work. Are you being paid by Mike ? - because he sure ain't crediting you very much when he appears on crapmeister woo-woo internet radio shows with dozens of listeners.

You probably advised Mike not to debate Dr Robbins on C2C. Mike agreed. Imagine my utter lack of surprise when he chickened out. He has since agreed on Jimmy Church to debate Dr Robbins.

Please do not try to talk him out of it. Mike after all has said he has put some of NASA's best Ph.D's to shame and would beat Neil de Grasse Tyson worse than the Bronco's in the Superbowl in a debate.

Bara won't of course debate Dr Robbins. That is just wishful thinking I guess. But just in case he does, do us all a favour  and don't dissuade him. He is such a misogynistic homophobe he deserves a public humiliation.

Kindest Regards
