Cluesforum—Exposing Mass Deception

I saw this and thought it important enough to post: This is not about dinosaurs, but great mammals; it addresses building and perpetuating a framework based on myth. All these little frauds and cons add up into one big lie. Frozen Mammoth or Giant Ground Sloth Served for Dinner at The Explorers Club...

I wonder if the purpose of this stilted display was to make sure no one ever feels tempted to read the works of Schuon and Guénon. That would make sense considering Sophia Perennis vs Religio Perennis. There is a very large young traditionalist movement right now. I have a lot to say on this topic ...

IMHO, it looks like we were saved from a giant Evola thread in a week or two.

I'm personally a very old-fashioned person, but that's the last thing we need.

They're definitely bombarding us, but in this case there was some vague Malala Nobel peace prize tie in. Because apparently no one pays attention to the peace prize anymore. I can't imagine why. <_< I don't think it was meant to be another run of the mill shooting/bombing whatever it all was. Have t...

I always thought Gertie was adorable, and really enjoyed McCay's style. I most definitely hadn't looked at it again since the start of this thread. A terrible, terrible oversight on my account. Of course he was employed by Hearst. Think about the detail and how stunning this would have looked at the...

The Syria/ISIS/Middle East "news" is so incestuous right now that I don't know where to put this little story, so I'll put it here. Texas City plumber's truck ends up in Syrian war http://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/galvestondailynews.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/7/cb/7cb...

Rational Wiki has this talk page (which you may or may not have seen before this post, but I think is relevant to the discussion because of the date): Yesterday evening, in a snit of hasty grumpiness, I deleted a narticle authored by bon 31.193.141.239 on this guy. Twice. The second one was a tiny l...

Watch this space: Smithstonian Folklore Project; From Trinity to Crossroads. <_< Submitting proposals for paper presentations at academic conferences can be very competitive, which is why I often try to improve my odds by selecting topics that have direct connections to the conference venue. For ins...

My personal opinion: I think part of this whole enterprise is recognizing patterns and trying to discern from those, so no, recognizing that there are blue & white shirts in reports in a higher ratio to others than in everyday life would not be reading too much into it. If we were to take that i...

Wait! I think I've seen that footage before. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/419DMcDDXTL._SX300_.jpg I'm kidding. However: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/history/world-war-one/11023811/The-dogfight-images-that-are-too-good-to-be-true.html Only now can the con, thanks to both Mr Taylor and his frie...

http://goldenveroleumliberia.com/images/Alerts/alert2.png ^^^ Not a parody. http://goldenveroleumliberia.com/ Just one excerpt from the news articles on that site: Francis Mondubue, paramount chief of Chu-chu Chiefdom has praised GVL for the move. This she said is a powerful tool for convincing res...

There's just so much to dissect with Ebola, and a lot of it is counting on the fact that average people don't have a great grasp of medicine and when things are messy they would rather not ever deal with it. Which is the reaction being counted on here, the usual fear plus that ick factor. Hopefully ...

Inexplicable rebranding of Esquire's the Falling Man connected to benefit the James Foley "Scholarship Fund".

Not to get too spammy here, but I'd wear it proudly, too.
