The anti-me

I thought about this carefully, and I’ve decided this guy is my antiparticle. He’s my opposite, taking what can charitably be called an incomplete understanding of physics, a total lack of logical process, and a laundry list of secret cabals, then lumping them all together into what can only be called the Grand Unified Conspiracy Theory. Watch the video, but keep a hat full of ice on your head to keep your brain from melting.

I don’t know what to say. I’m speechless. He talks about Planet X, Nibiru, the Nephilim, the Antichrist, the Moon Hoax, Free Masons, the LHC, religious fundamentalism, the van Allen belts, Stargates, black holes, cosmic rays, and, of course (of course!) how all this is predicted by the Bible.

I hope I never meet this guy. If I shake his hand, we’ll annihilate, exploding with the force of millions of nuclear weapons and flooding the world with gamma rays.

Well, my idea makes at least as much sense as his.

    Numb. From laughing. Zombie Me recommends: Oooze your Brainsss!

  2. Doc Says:

    Woah…

    I have such a hard time believing that this isn’t satiricial. How could someone that mind-numbingly dumb and that out of touch with reality manage to operate a video camera? How is he able to get by in life? How is he able to dress himself?

    The mind boggles.

  3. Randy Says:

    Watching that made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

  4. Christopher Ferro Says:

    Noooooooo another YouTube post!! Ack!!! I so WISH there was some way to get these through this damn firewall!!

  5. Tobi Lehman Says:

    I think your idea makes more sense because you at least offer a coherent sequence of events (you meet, you annihilate) this is plausible insofar as we assume his anti-philness.

    However, this nutjob doesn’t even know what a dimension is, case closed.

  6. Bad Albert Says:

    Wow.

    I could only get to the 4 minute mark before my brain went into meltdown.

  7. Celtic_Evolution Says:

    Owww… OWWWWWWW…. the stupid… it huuuurrrtssss.

    Are we really sure this whole intertubes thingy was such a hot idea? A guy this completely whacked out loopy could never have gotten an audience of any real numbers twenty years ago.

    Here’s a fun game… try to identify the interesting stuff on the shelf behind his head. I couldn’t make any of it out.

  8. xav0971 Says:

    Is this guy for real? Talk about a “nutcase”. How in the world is space a separate dimension then on earth? The Van Allen belt can fry you. Next he’ll talk about the moon hoax conspiracy. Yep I was right. lol. LHC was made to bring Satan down to earth. What?!? Never heard of “Nibiru”. He needs mental help asap.

  9. Ryan Scranton Says:

    Y’see, this is how watching nature documentaries as a kid has really warped my brain. The professional astronomer part of my brain spent the entire video alternately chuckling and scoffing at what he was saying. At the same time, it was being said in a British accent, which triggered the “this person is speaking from a position of intellectual authority — pay attention” response engendered by those aforementioned documentaries.

  10. Randy Says:

    Christopher,

    If you are at work and the firewall is blocking the video link you should try a free proxy. Proxies are GREAT for circumventing internal security IT restrictions. It makes it easier to slack on the job. Just google free proxy. I use www.guardster.com a lot. Go to access free proxy on the page.

  11. RinzeWind Says:

    The particle will come and will kill us all and dance over our graves singing “Hallelujah”. That part I understood.

  12. M Says:

    The only question I have after watching that hysterical tirade is how will the LHC be able to create micro black holes? I did not take many (okay I only took one) physics classes in college, so please be kind to me if this is a silly question, but I really am curious.

    I am looking forward to the LHC going on line and finding out what we can learn from it. It sounds like some sort of sun block might be in order :)
    Finally, is every round building supposed to be analogous to the tower of Babel? If so there are a lot of sports stadiums that must have very sinister underpinnings.

  13. Bill Says:

    Phil,

    So does that mean that you and this guy are like the characters from that really bad episode of TOS???

  14. Christopher Ferro Says:

    Randy, I think our IT guys have that angle covered - access is denied when I try to use the proxy. It says to contact my systems admin.

    Oh well. I might have time to squeeze in a view tonight at home.

    Okay, he asked for it. Buddy, your nuts.

    Is that a bong on the mantle behind him…

  16. Steve t Says:

    “Scientists/masons: same thing”.

    Phil….For shame. How come you haven’t told us that you were a mason?

    Scientists/masons rejoice! Anti-matter at a complex level has been discovered!

    Never before have I thought that a charming british-accent saying the word “rubbish” would cause such a bad taste in my mouth.

  17. The Bad Astronomer Says:

    I actually was suspicious of this being satirical (which internet Law is it that says you can’t tell satire from real zaniness?) but his other videos seem pretty serious.

  18. Tom Says:

    Between people like this and the fundamentalist buffoons who keep being handed the keys to bunker with the red button in it, I find it too easy to get upset with worry about the future of this species.

    I realise that’s extremely pessimistic but it requires so little effort to think the way he does that I worry the easy option will be the prevailing way of thinking in what seems to be a bizarrely, increasingly anti-science public/political climate.

  19. Lledowyn Says:

    which internet Law is it that says you can’t tell satire from real zaniness?

    You are referring to Poe’s Law. :-)

  20. lolife Says:

    Bat poop crazy.

  21. Navneeth Says:

    It’s made of mass! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

    Run for your lives. Eliminate gravity at all costs!

  22. Randy Says:

    Christopher,

    Pardon the language here… but try www.hidemyass.com. new proxies pop up every day. Literally. It would be hard for your IT folk to block all of them… unless they have some new security tool that I’m not aware of. Good luck!

  23. Yoeman Says:

    Wow, I want some of what he is putting in his “bong”!
    I couldn’t make it through the whole thing.
    BTW, my kid got a huge thrill when you read his post on your
    live chat last week, thank you Dr. Plait.

  24. Doc Says:

    Christopher,

    Maybe you should count your blessings that you *can’t* watch the video. It really is very painful - I think it gave me a brain hemmorhage.

  25. Mario Panighetti Says:

    FINALLY, someone explains dimensions in clear, easy-to-understand, and (most importantly) absolutely factual terms!

  26. Doc Says:

    D’oh! typo - should be hemorrhage.

  27. Rowsdower Says:

    HILARIOUS! This guy has got to be real. It’s too good. I just hope that some of the kooks on talk.origins don’t see this thing. He’d be hailed as a new prophet.

    This guy needs some serious counseling. Perhaps a dose of haldol or something similar would also help.

  28. ShavenYak Says:

    Phil,

    So does that mean that you and this guy are like the characters from that really bad episode of TOS???

    No, if that were the case the guy would have a sinister-looking goatee.

  29. Superstring Says:

    He’s kinda right about the EU building and the Tower of Babel.

    .

  30. DrFlimmer Says:

    Nein! Nein! Nein! AAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH! HILFE!

    ……

    so, geht wieder

    I’m still alive! Holy Crap! I cannot repeat all the mess and garbage he’s saying but the last one is somehow ….. I don’t know a word! To compare the EU-head-quarters with an “artist impression” of the tower of Babel. Oh my goodness!

    Btw: In the last days some guys climbed out of a hole in Russia they moved in in November 2007, because they believed the world would come to an end. Well, what a mess - they climbed back out and the world hasn’t changed much (ok, they missed the introduction of their new president…). Hopefully the LHC comes alive in a short time and then maybe this will stop - but I guess this is a dream…. not that the LHC gets alive but that messes like that will not be heared again in our “dimension of earth”.

    Oh: Send that guy into his space-dimension, get him some rockets on his side and then show him, how terrible the van-Allen-Belt is and that he will never be able to change his direction! Ah, yeah, and when he is on his way he will meet some light that even he can bend… maybe then he starts collapsing into a black hole.

    Sorry. I’m still not over that!
    (my brain is still too hot - that’s why I started writing in german ;) )

  31. John Weiss Says:

    Phil, I lacked ice and a hat, so I ate ice cream instead. That also seems to have forestalled melting and it was tasty. These are the kinds of experiments I love most: the ones with ice cream.

    Hm, are you left-handed Phil? This dude seems to be a righty, so if you’re anti-people, you should be a lefty, correct? :-)

    The only question I have after watching that hysterical tirade is how will the LHC be able to create micro black holes? I did not take many (okay I only took one) physics classes in college, so please be kind to me if this is a silly question, but I really am curious.

    The idea, I believe, is that by smashing enough mass into small enough space, you can make the body smaller than it’s Schwartschild radius, which means “black hole”. There’s zero requirement that black holes have to be collapsed stars (the fact that this guy thing so is perhaps strong evidence there). In fact, the Big Bang may have created micro-black holes, as I understand it.

  32. Larry Says:

    Dude, get some help. Seriously. Your other 11 personalities will thank you.

  33. Dave Says:

    Randy,

    I have the same problem as Christopher: My companies IT group blocks YouTube since it’s not “business related”. Unfortunately, they were also smart enough to block HTTP relay proxies as well :-(

  34. oldamateurastronomer Says:

    Gack, now I’ve got to read The Amazing Randi’s ‘SWIFT’ article for this week to clear my mind!!

    About the only sense he ’spewed’ was the fact that the Voyagers (and several other probes) used Jupiter and Saturn to change their velocities.

    However, if the Van Allen belts are so ‘powerful’, how did the Voyagers and other probes get through unscathed?

    Then again, logic and sense are not features of such persons’ thinking!

  35. Michael Says:

    Lol, its always fun watching someone re-interpret scripture to adhere to modern events. This video is ridiculous, I was snickering the whole way through, I just kept saying there was no way he could make any less sense, then he just kept rambling. I was waiting for the punchline =P.

  36. serenity Says:

    Wow, I’m speechless as well. Thanks for the post! I mean come on, I can accept that people are afraid of tiny black holes, but I had no idea people were afraid that we’re going to cause the return of the antichrist! :)

  37. Kirk Says:

    Laugh, if you will, you non-believers. When the leaders from Nibiru arrive you will fall to your knees begging for forgiveness. In the meantime, perhaps you’d like this glass of kool-aid.

    Gotta hand it to you Phil….. never a boring moment. Where do you find this stuff?

  38. M Says:

    John,

    Thank you for the explanation. That makes sense to me now. I was not thinking on a small enough scale.

  39. beachmaster Says:

    Stop laughing …. he is ill and not taking all the Rx as directed by his doctor.

  40. James Snell Says:

    This guy proves that the Internet is really the Large Idiot Collider, constantly producing tiny black holes of stupidity capable of bending truth and emitting large volumes of toxic gas.

  41. Chris Says:

    What is keeping his head from imploding?

  42. alfaniner Says:

    Perhaps another analogy could be, he is the “Bizarro-Phil”.

  43. ChrisAnorve Says:

  44. miller Says:

    To keep from annihilating with his surroundings, he must live in some sort of anti-reality.

  45. madge Says:

    OMG this Whacko is British? I can only apologise on behalf of my Country. We are not all like this (honest) Some of us are scientific, (non Freemason) critical thinking skeptics who actually know a bit of particle physics. I would love to hear what Dr Brian Cox has to say about this (presumably he is wearing an apron and has one trouser leg rolled up as we speak : )

  46. Redx Says:

    hilarious, but someone needs to explain the difference between the HLC and a Slipgate to this bloke.

  47. Brian Says:

    I have an Irish Euro here on my desk….I don’t see any ‘blasphemous depictions’ on it.

  48. riki Says:

    Amazing research. I’d love to read his bibliography :)

  49. Stephen J Says:

    I knew he had to bring up moon landing hoax …

  50. J. D. Harper Says:

    I love the little red captions that pop up, saying things like “They are using Cryptic language.”

    Or “A Black hole. Black as in SATANIC.”

    Or “Scripture warns us about Strange Flesh.”

    But I do want to know about these “blasphemous” depictions on the EU coins. I just checked Wikipedia, and I don’t see what the fuss is about.

  51. Jon Says:

    First of all, I am horribly disappointed that he didn’t make a single mention of 9/11. That would have been the icing on the nutjob cake for me.

    Where is the strength of this man’s convictions? It seems that most of these doom-crying religious fanatics fear armageddon above all else. That makes absolutely no sense…it’s supposed to be the glorious return of Christ! Not only that, but apparently Christ is going to win the war anyways. Then the guy in the video gets to go to heaven, without having to physically die! If he were a true believer, he’d welcome the LHC experiments with open arms.

  52. SRM Says:

    >>riki
    >>Amazing research. I’d love to read his bibliography

    (some version of the) Bible.

    Well, these are the kind of people that make my day. Never a dull moment.

  53. Gary Ansorge Says:

    Power of the LHC: Approximately 10^12 electron volts.
    Power of strongest cosmic rays:10^21 electron volts.

    Number of earth gobbling black holes formed since the beginning(4.5 billion years,,,or 6000, your choice,,,),,,ZERO.

    Halodel does seem indicated for this poor sod. Still, he does appear to have a nice home. Can one afford such living on the dole?

    My Father read this to me sometime in the late ’70s. It was printed in the NYT, I think.

    Perils of Modern Living

    Harold P. Furth

    Well up above the tropostrata
    There is a region stark and stellar
    Where, on a streak of anti-matter
    Lived Dr. Edward Anti-Teller.

    Remote from Fusion’s origin,
    He lived unguessed and unawares
    With all his antikith and kin,
    And kept macassars1 on his chairs.

    One morning, idling by the sea,
    He spied a tin of monstrous girth
    That bore three letters: A. E. C.2
    Out stepped a visitor from Earth.

    Then, shouting gladly o’er the sands,
    Met two who in their alien ways
    Were like as gentils3. Their right hands
    Clasped, and the rest was gamma rays.

  55. Adhominem Says:

    Towards the end, he adds as an aside “All of the European coins have balsphemous depictions on them”.

    Wow. Wait. What? How so? I tried to google to get more lunacy, but alas, google finds little evidence of blasphemy on European coins, aside some diatribe about the depiction of the Goddess Europa on Greek 2-Euro-coins (and “Greek 2-Euro coins” hardly counts as “all”, does it?).

  56. Adhominem Says:

    Ooh, ooh, I found something regarding blasphemy: Apparently, to some, the five-pointed star is a symbol of whichcraft, depicting the five “elements” earth, wind, fire, water, and spirit.

    Hm. That was disappointingly non-convoluted. I was looking forward to some lengthy, ludicrous story.

  57. Rhannmah Says:

    But wait, there’s more!

    Those who are up for a challenge, hit up the video’s comments on youtube. I’ll admit that reading them was rather “enlightening”…

  58. chimango Says:

    what a way to start a friday; first, on another blog, i find out about th “two girls and a cup” video (seriously, don’t google for it. i can’t warn you enough; it’s worse than the goatse picture.) And now i get to see this video that is far worse for my brain than the other for my stomach!

    or this guy is doing STR’s style satire…

  59. Andrew Says:

    This response video is great also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sW5S3DNpvhU

    “This guy proves that the Internet is really the Large Idiot Collider”
    I may start referring to the internet from now on as ‘the Large Moron Collider’.

  60. Chris Radcliff Says:

    “It’s made of mass!”

    That *has* to become a t-shirt.

  61. JanieBelle Says:

    …allegedly this is to find a proton, a particle, called the Higgs boson. Now this particle has been nicknamed by scientists - freemasons - same thing - as the God particle. That’s the first point I’d just like to cover here. If you comprehend this, you’ll understand that what they’re telling you is that there is no God. There is a particle that is responsible for creating all of us. So that’s the first thing. This is a Satanic lie to take your mind away from the Lord Jesus Christ and onto some particle that may or may not exist.

    wow.

  62. Sir Eccles Says:

    And this is why I think you should have to get a license to use the internet.

  63. Mark Martin Says:

    According to the gentleman in the video, “Any schoolboy knows…, etc.”

    Having been a schoolboy earlier, I can say with confidence that, as any schoolboy knows, schoolboys often don’t know what the hell they’re talking about.

  64. Mark Martin Says:

    I also wonder if he’s aware of the two large holes already present in the Van Allen belts, the ones over the north & south poles?

  65. jrkeller Says:

    But what if he’s right?

  66. Mark Martin Says:

    What if he’s right? What if anyone picked at random is right? There’s a way to settle the question: experiment.

  67. Dennis Says:

    And you thought they were only in the States.

  69. Calli Arcale Says:

    “I also wonder if he’s aware of the two large holes already present in the Van Allen belts, the ones over the north & south poles?”

    Since they’re in the graphic included in his video, you’d think he would have noticed. But obviously not!

    This guy is pure comedy gold, at least for those of us who enjoy watching nutters.

  70. Jess Mills Says:

    Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

    If I were to try for weeks to compress more bull*%$t and misunderstanding and paranoia into one nonsensical rant, I couldn’t come close to this guy!

    Ah, if only IDIOCY was made of mass, then he’d have created his own black hole!

  71. Maltodextrin Says:

    Do you suppose it hurts to be that crazy?

    I also love how his little tirade about the EU HQ being designed after the tower of Babel. You know, that place where all the people of the world joined together in peace and harmony, and united to build a tower so they could reach heaven and meet God? And God said “Look at what they can accomplish when they work together.” And smashed the tower and made everyone speak different languages so they couldn’t cooperate like that anymore.

    I honestly fail to see why Christians keep painting humanity as the bad guys in that story.

  72. Seneca Says:

    This guy is obviously an imposter. A true believer would welcome the rapture following armageddon with open arms, not raise a huge row. We’re talking Liberation Day for The Chosen, ferchrissakes. He shows no faith that his personal benificent demon is supreme being enough to win the spectacular final smackdown with Darth Nibiru. What a wimp.

  73. Blu-Ray-Ven Says:

    “but keep a hat full of ice on your head to keep your brain from melting.”

    owwww, my head. i should have taken that advise

    sometimes i wonder if there is intelegent life on this planet. but then i read phil’s blog and listen to others whos heads are firmly planted in reality and i am reassured that there are

  74. Jgrewe Says:

    Those interspersed titles reminded me of Stephen Colbert’s “The Word” segments. Except Colbert’s are funny. Well, the “Nihilim Flesh” thing was pretty funny, and so was the EU HQ = Tower of Babel thing, but not intentionally. I think.

  75. Zeugnitz Says:

    I didn’t bother to read all comments…but assuming this person is serious, it’s kind of disturbing…yet still an example of how people “work”.

    The interesting part is that usually, when you have someone that convinced of their view, they’ll have an elaborate description of prior events, which usually isn’t quite consistent with reality.

    In this case, what strikes me as somewhat interesting is that he is actually adjusting his views according to what is relevant to the time of his claims, assuming his claims have been put forward in detail previously…which is why I’m curious - what were the timelines for this person’s celebrity compared to what we know about the people involved?

  76. Christopher Ferro Says:

    Ok, well, the proxies let me GET to those sites, but the videos are still blocked… it says either Java Script is disabled (it isn’t) or I need a newer Flash version (I don’t)… so I guess this corporation has some bad ass firewall.

    This happens with IE or Firefox. I haven’t tried any other browsers.

    Oh well…

  78. jbecker Says:

    Please someone explain to me how people like this manage to make a living and manage to survive in this day and age. This man is unfit to be a janitor and yet he seems to be able to make a decent living by the look of the background in his video.

  79. Mark Martin Says:

    The background does look very comfy. The trick is… that’s not his house. It’s not even his friend’s house. He doesn’t even know whose house it is. All he knows is, of all the doorknobs he tried along that street, he finally found one that was carelessly left unlocked at 2:30 in the morning…

  80. Alcari Says:

    Oh, for the love of sanity and humanity, please let the guy be kidding. How can people that retarded survive? If ever there was evidence against evolution, it’s the fact that this person exists ;)
    I tried to count this mistakes in that video, but I lost count around 100 (I’m wish I was kidding).

  81. Pisces Says:

    Well….he DID get one thing right….he’s nuts!

  82. Sticks Says:

    As the supposed token, nominal fundamental creationist I’m expected to be, (Sort of, well our church is anyhue). (BTW I, like Phil do not like intelligent design as that is not science and is bad theology but I digress)

    I have to say this guy is completely wrong on the Bible as well and is the kind of person even fundamental creationists will disown. If we stay with in his world, all the giants that were created in Genesis 6 were killed off any way in the global flood. (I do realise a lot here do not believe in the global flood, but it will figure in this guys belief system which shows he is inconsistent)

    BTW2 if he is rambling on about the end of the world, he obviously did not read the NT, where we are told there will be no warning. If it is being brought about by the Freemasons of CERN, then there is a warning.

    As he is British from the sound of his accent, he does leave one with the impression that he is part of that failed policy we had called “Care in the Community”

  83. Grand Fromage Says:

    This is my new favorite thing on the internet. Moon hoax people and 9/11 truthers are annoying, but when conspiracy theorists go completely off the rails into good solid Coast to Coast territory, I love it.

  87. themadlolscientist Says:

    This guy has Nibiru on the brain. Half his videos mention it in their titles. OK, not quite half, but close enough.

    Oh, and don’t let the accent fool you. His profile says he’s right here in the Hew-Hess-of-Hay.

  88. themadlolscientist Says:

    Oops, I goofed there……… he’s over on the other side of the pond. The tricky ß@$+@®d set his channel up to fake YouTube into letting him spew his ßu77$#!+ all over the known universe. GAAK.

  89. Annoyed Says:

    What the frak…?

  90. Mark Hansen Says:

    Looking through the list of his videos (but not looking at them; one was enough, thank you very much), I see that he’s managed to cover just about every conspiracy theory. You’ve got to admit that the guy is thorough. There truly is no limit to his lunacy.
    There is one other disturbing possibility that you haven’t covered. In many of his videos there is a red haired woman. This could be and probably is his wife. He may have children. That’s a far more worrying idea than him producing these videos.

  91. StrangeWill Says:

    It is people like this that make me question if humanity is responsible enough to be allowed freedom of speech as a whole. Whats even worse is it seems he has a decent amount of people that agree with him.

  92. William Mattsson Says:

    I, too, wonder about his sanity. Is it possible to live a life apart from the kind of confused state of mind this poor soul exhibits? Can one compartmentalize this kind of bizarre world view, turning it on and off at will? What must his dreams be like? Is he able to learn without totally confusing the data he studies? Is he married, do you think?
    How does his family interact with him (if he has one)? Does his ability to speak about his beliefs keep him from the full grip of insanity? What an enigma…

    Speaking of Phil/anti-Phil, I refer the reader to Volume 1, chapter 52 of the Feynman Lectures. Feynman there discusses anti-matter and illustrates it by a lengthy discussion on arranging a meeting between one of us and an anti-matter Martian. It’s all quite legitimate, and all I’ll reveal is the punchline: “Well, if he puts out his left hand, watch out!”

  100. Not Sure Says:

    The bad news? If Phil and the Anti-Phil ever meet, they’ll annihilate.

    The good news? We’ve been smashing elephants together at the Ringling Brothers Linear Accelerator for years in hopes of discovering the Anti-Phil. We finally observed him during a collision last week, when he lasted just long enough to make this youtube video before degrading into a more stable group of squirrels wearing monicles and tophats.

    Has anyone called emergency services in this guy’s area??? He is in immediate need of extreme psychiatric help.

    Blame it all of the Free Masons…. Yeah, sure. I’ve known some masons and they were all good people. They do good stuff in the community, building homes, taking care of the sick, providing medical assistance and stuff.

    This guy’s brain is a black hole. Any knowledge that enters it is completely and irretrievably lost forever - at least from his perspective.

    A better theory? How about: That the LHC scientists are going to do exactly what they told us they’re going to do! Maybe we will find out that the Higgs boson does exist, or if we missed something in our maths.

    Obviously he’s never looked at the maths for a black hole and what happens to them. As for bending light, I can do that - just give me a lens and I’ll bend it all over the place, or some fiber optics… or well, I’m often accused of being pretty dense, perhaps just standing here I’m making it bend… (well, I’m sitting at the moment, actually).

    As for the folks being entranced and convinced by the British accent that the content provider is obviously of a superior intellect, you all may need to recall Fawlty Towers and Monty Python to correct that bit of bad information. (ok, granted, the people behind these shows were genius level - but the characters were not).

    There are two possibilities, concerning the Euro’s “blasphemies.”

    It could either be meant as a general statement about the Euro’s overall design, which would be true if “blasphemous” counts as a euphemism for “crappy.”

    The second possibility follows from the first. If you look at the Euro coins’ sketch of the European countries, you might notice that the Skandinavian part has a funny profile indeed—maybe it’s some huge nephilim’s evil monster testicles he spots there, a topic he became so engrossed in during recording that he actually lost his conspiracy thread and had to pick it up after a cut.

    Hey Phil,

    I’ve lurked for a while without posting but I can’t let this go. I can’t believe you linked to that video! I sat too close to my monitor and now I have stupid all over me! How am I going to get this out of my clothes??

    Thanks for nothing!

    Hi Phil,

    Yeah, I’m another lurker and this is my first post. I gotta make a few points. Firstly, this guy’s INCREDIBLY well thought out for a complete whack job. His lack of reasoning flows nice and smooth….sorta like when I flush the bowl. Secondly, my dad was a free mason and while he was alive he didn’t mention any of this to me (it’s making me wonder about our relationship). It makes me mad that he kept all this good info from me and didn’t give me a chance to boycott science when I had the chance (it seems like doomsday’s right around the corner). Lastly, if going through the Van Allen belt will “fry you like crispy bacon”, maybe we can send this guy up and see what he looks like when he gets back down, sans parachute, of course.

    Keep it comin’

    xav0971:

    The business with Nibiru is from the series of books written by Zecharia Sitchin; I think the first was The 12th Planet, in which he proposes that the solar system has an extra planet ‘way out far, which produced an intelligent humanoid race, the Annunaki/Nephilim (depending on whether you’re talking Sumerian mythology or Biblical mythology), who came to earth to mine gold to suspend in their atmosphere to ofset the cooling of their world. The lower ranks among them had to do the scut-work of mining, and eventually went on strike, so their scientist/officers devised a plan to mingle the genetic matter of their own race with what sounds like Homo habilis, to create the first man, Adapa/Adam, and more to follow, to take over the menial work. Soon, all the Annunaki wanted some to do their jobs, and the higher-ranking ones set up as gods over the genetically-manipulated workforce.

    The books go on at length; they’re an interesting read, if you think of them as a sort of Historical Science Fiction, but they’re probably not worth investing in. I’d see if your local library has ‘em.

    I’m not totally sure how the html-stuff works here, but the Wikipedia article on Sitchin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zechariah_Sitchin may tell you more than you want to know.

  108. nexsaevio Says:

    The levels of insanity these conspiracy people excel to NEVER fails to astound me, it’s absolutely incredible that he can convince himself of such ridiculous ideas. Fortunately, we can all laugh in his face once the LHC has done it’s expirements and such.

  109. Nabla Says:

    This guy excelled at being stupid! Maybe his life’s philosophy is “You have to be good at something”, and normal stuff was just too dificult for him.

  110. Mark Hansen Says:

    nexsavio, do you really think that something as flimsy as mere facts will convince someone like that they are wrong? Once the LHC doesn’t
    1) Destroy the Earth as soon as it’s fired up,
    2) Release satanic black holes which will devour the Earth and,
    3) Doesn’t flood the Earth with all that sinful Nephilim flesh,
    he’ll chalk it up to his timely warning and say that the freemason scientists operating the LHC listened to him and didn’t actually use it. He’ll have saved the world for believers and evil sinners alike. What a hero!

  119. Richie Says:

    This has to be a hoax. I just can’t see any logical way that anyone could even conceivably tie so many incorrect theories and fallacious logic into one video.

    Heck, he tries to do the 2-D / 3-D explanation…and goes right off the rails. Space is another dimension, in which demons live? Someone better let the ISS know!

    It’s like he’s looked up as many conspiracy theories as possible, then tried to tie them together. His reliance on the Bible for source material confuses me. Doesn’t the same book say “Thou shalt not bear false witness”?
    Because the misrepresentation of the truth in there counts as “False Witness”…against, NASA, the LHC, the Masons, the European Union, The Director-General, Astronomers, Astronauts…heck, it’s “False Witness” against the Bible itself!

    There is no way all that Stupid can be contained in such a small space. I’m forced to assume that the brain (encased in pure, liquid Stupidity) has to be about the size of an ant.

    It has to be a joke…HAS to be…….

    No, you’re not - & you do know what to say coz you go on to say it! ;-)
    “He talks about Planet X, Nibiru, the Nephilim, the Antichrist, the Moon Hoax, Free Masons, the LHC, religious fundamentalism, the van Allen belts, Stargates, black holes, cosmic rays, and, of course (of course!) how all this is predicted by the Bible.”

    Why, why, why is always the flippin’ Bible!

    When are the nuts going to find the secret code & prophecies hidden in the Tantric version of the Karma Sutra for forns sake!! ;-) That’s a lot more entertaining and a lot more fun to find! ;-)
    “I hope I never meet this guy. If I shake his hand, we’ll annihilate, exploding with the force of millions of nuclear weapons and flooding the world with gamma rays. Well, my idea makes at least as much sense as his.”

    Sorry Phil I gotta disagree …

    Your ideas make far, far more sense than his! ;-)

    I really think this guy is pulling peoples’ legs.

    I really hope he is. ;-)
    It could be … but I don’t know, he seems a bit too serious & sadly their is no end to the stupidity folks’ll believe. To quote Asimov quoting Shakespeare :

    “Against Stupidity the Gods Themselves Contend in Vain!”

    (’The Gods Themselves, Isaac Asimov, Grafton books, 1972.)

    Mark Hansen : ” … Once the LHC doesn’t flood the Earth … with all that sinful Nephilim flesh ….

    Awww! Drat! You mean its not going to happen? Pity. I was really looking forward to some sinful Nephilim flesh! ;-)
    Personally, I do have some serious reservations about the LHC and the
    ethics of just turning it on - esp. on Earth rather than, say, having it on the Moon or an asteroid instead - but such serious concerns are put in
    a very bad light by loons like these. :-( ____________________

    PS. I bet that anti-Phil guy votes Republican -or as prefer to call ‘em Retardican - because their party is run by retards for retards in the aim of retarding everything back to the middle ages! ;-)

  128. Strahlungsamt Says:

    This guy is a cross between Richard Hoagland and Borat. Seriously, he has waaaay too much time on his hands. However, don’t think he’s too stupid to publish a book and make millions. Hoagland just missed the New York Times bestseller list with his claptrap. What damage could this guy achieve?

  131. bswift Says:

    Wow. I just have no idea how people come to conclusions like this. It’s always completely amazing.

    I kinda wonder if people have made this much stink about other big accelerators in the past?

  132. Mark Martin Says:

    bswift,

    There have been a few other instances. Fermilab and Brookhaven have been protested before, on worries that they’d accidentally destroy the world. The Patrician class does have a penchant for cautionary mythology.

  133. jgirvine Says:

    This man has such an open mind that his brain has clearly taken the opportunity to hop out in an effort to distance itself from him.

    ……..hmmmmmmmmm…no mention of Atlantis, I’m actually disappointed. :(

  136. Tod Says:

    What language is this guy speaking? I mean, he seems to be swallowing his ells: I had to listen a couple of times to understand that when he says “beowt” was actually “belt,” “biyut” was actually “built,” he talks about the ainjoes, the chewdren, and on and on.

    Oh yes, he has absolutely no clue about the physical universe, the bible, freemasons, and on and on. I hope he’s sterile as one of him is quite enough.

  137. Peter Says:

    If he really believes what he says, how frightening his days must be. I feel very sad for him.

  138. Luke Says:

    Phil,

    Who is this guy, and how did you find him?

  139. Kevin Says:

    As a previous poster noted, this guy usually does respond to comments left on his video. At the end of the video he gives permission for us to have an opinion of him, and I agreed with it: called him nuts. His response to me in YouTube was choice:

    “By the same logic, your logic, if I am Nuts your Must be a FRUIT!

    Ladyboy!”

    That made me laugh. :)

  140. (HEARTS) Says:

    Friend of my claims that this guy was neccessary to restore the balance, with all this massive pile-up of brainpower on physics etc. Somewhere the brainpower needs to be taken from and this guy is obviously one of the folks on the other end of the scale, left behind brainless.

    Natural balance, baby
