who sponsored & financed Richard Hoagland
Tara Jordan said...
You`d be surprised to know (some amongst you,probably already know) who sponsored & financed Richard Hoagland when he started to become involved in the Mars debate in 1983. If you know who financed him back then, you also know who is financing him now....

In December 1983 upon a meeting at Institute for the Study of Consciousness Berkeley (founded by Arthur M Young) with former intelligence officer Paul Shay (SRI vice president for corporate affairs),Hoagland received $50,000 from the SRI (Stanford Research Institute) & formed the Independent Mars Mission with physicist Lambert Dolphin Jr.
Many amongst Hoagland early "associates" & "professional contacts" (SRI,Institute for Noetic Sciences etc...) were individuals & (or) organizations associated to the CIA & the defense community.
These organizations & "scientific institutes" were cover fronts for the CIA & the defense community to conduct elaborate psychological-social experiments
The notorious SRI (Stanford Research Institute) who initiated remote viewing experiments under the under the auspices of the CIA & the Defense Department
Since I have no intention on hijacking Expat`s Blog,I wont list all the individuals & institutions who became associated or collaborated with Richard Hoagland during the early years of his "Mars years".I`ll leave it to Expat & the rest of debunking community to do the researches & home-works.

If you go to the genesis of the Mars ordeal that started in mid 70`s with individuals like James Hurtak (Hurtak was the man who originally refered to the Face on Mars as "Sphink like" & back in 1975 Hurtak "predicted" the existence of a Sphinx image on Mars),you`ll find some prominent members of the school of "new Egyptologists" who generated the Egypt-Giza-Mars connections storyline.Some of these individuals were also connected to the SRI & various CIA sponspored scientific institutes (Schor Foundation-Florida State University etc..)Also involved were Remote viewers (& former US Army ambiguous characters) such as Schnabel,Morehouse.Mc Moneagle,Ed Dames.
FlightSuit said...- So Tara, what are we to make of this supposed CIA connection? I
tend to think of the CIA as being a pretty no-nonsense organization. Why
would they want to have anything to do with Hoagland or any of his
fellow Mars Face believers?
I've certainly seen people on the Web suggest that Hoagland is a disinfo agent, but to my mind, that's almost as far-fetched as any other conspiracy theory.
Yes, Hoagland is technically spreading disinformation every time he makes a statement that is untrue, but to suggest that he's doing so as part of a government conspiracy?
What would be the goal?
More importantly, do we have solid evidence for this government connection?

Pyschological experiments,which the intention of creating
"new religions" & societal mass control mecanisms.Take a look at what we inherited since the mid 70`s (& I am not even talking about the UFO-New Age fields),a large proportion of the Western public believe in Space gods- ancient Aliens, Egyptian-Sumerian-Mars connections....A brand new religion
-
Tara Jordan said...
- @FlightSuit
Dont call it "government conspiracy", these are "governmental programs" from which the general public is unaware of. Just like the US government psychotronic experiments & human behavioral modification of 1960`s-1970`s
You tell me why the CIA would sponsor Scientific institutes involved in remote viewing experiments,studies of consciousness,paranormal phenomenas etc...The SRI which has been the major player in this game, was also involved in researches & project creations for DARPA

Trekker said...
- As an amusing diversion to while away a few minutes, I did an
online search of the Chapters bookshops within a hundred kms of home, to
see how many were stocking copies of Ancient Aliens.
Out of 61 stores, only six had copies, and only one copy each at that! For added amusement, they're shelved under 'New Age and Occult', not 'Science', (as I imagine Mike would have liked).
-
Tara Jordan said...
- Before dismissing my theories as Crackpotism,please consult the
CIA, Defense Dept records.Throughout official statements & FOIA
requests, they have released documents acknowledging researches &
experiments into the Occult,parapsychology,paranormal,psychological
experiments using UFO lore, New Age concepts etc...One of the most
publicized programs was the bizarre First Earth Battalion project that
took place at the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center &
School at Fort Bragg.It is a matter of public records that both the CIA
& the US army had explored New Age, Occult & paranormal
concepts for practical,operational,psychological & tactical
applications.

Tara Jordan said...
- I intentionally refrained from mentioning the Remove Viewing
program at Standford Research Institute (co-sponsored by the Defense
Dept & the CIA), because it was without any doubt the most
publicized ( at least in terms of mainstream media coverage).Most of the
participants from the RV program (all of them,former military &
intelligence officers) eventually became prominent & influential
spokespersons for the UFO community.

"Mike Bara seems to be annoyed about something"
113 Comments - Hide Original Post
He's definitely taking some pleasure in the sound of his own voice. Re-running old episodes of Ancient Aliens and gushing on FuckBoo "I LOVE watching myself on TV. Seriously. It never gets old." But he definitely seems annoyed:
"A new truth I have learned from being an author; the world is sure full of demented fucktards."
"[the critics] are lying sacks of sh**"
I can't think who he's talking about. Certainly not Stuart Robbins and me. We're not demented fucktards, and we're not liars. A demented fucktard would be someone who writes that oceans look dark from space because the light has to travel all the way to the bottom of the ocean and back, and it gets tired. A liar would be someone who... let's see, perhaps deliberately misquotes his own book to try and cover up a crashing, screaming error.
Update:
Charles Sokasian has provided a possible clue as to Bara's mood today. Read his comments on this blogpost.
Most posters are giving Mike Bara a really hard time, basically implying that Bara is either a crackpot or a fraud.
Your's and Stuart Robbin's biggest sins are of O'mission; selectively isolating a certain set of facts, out of context, while ignoring crucial data, as with Jim Berkland, for instance.
1) Both Hoagland & Bara have specifically threatened me with legal action. I don't think they stand a chance of succeeding, and I seriously doubt that either of them is flush enough to retain counsel, but if it ever did happen it would obviously turn my entire life upside down.
2) Both of them take any opportunity for ad hominem mockery. You need look no further than Mike Bara's blog to see what fun he had with Stuart Robbins' photo. IT'S NOT ABOUT ME.
That's the thing. I had a very long (and fruitless) exchange with Hoagland about that with regards to James Concannon. He kept claiming that knowing James' identity was important to the discussion. I countered that his identity would not change the arguments he was making as he was not asking anyone (unlike Hoagland) to take his word for it. Hoagland's response was to knit a flag while while talking about being able to "face his accuser". He never seemed to understand that the accuser in this case was reality.
http://www.nytimes.com/1987/01/02/us/syzygy-when-high-tides-run-very-high.html
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eqarchives/significant/sig_1987.php
As a geologist I have appreciated the importance of underground water pore-pressure in de-stabilizing hill slopes, and I have participated with engineers and other geologists in preparing plans and procedures for controlling concentrations of water to prevent damage of various kinds to both natural landscapes and artificial constructions.
In relatively recent years it has been recognized that water can be an important factor relative to triggering earthquakes, although each step along the way has been highly controversial at the outset. Now it is generally accepted that pumping fluids in or out of deep wells can stimulate earthquakes. Often construction of large dams and reservoirs is also associated with subsequent earthquakes (R.I.S.), even in areas that have been historically stable.
Similarly there are a number of significant papers in the scientific literature that show clear correlations between earthquakes and local flooding or unusually heavy and prolonged precipitation.
[continues]
Furthermore, the rhythmic oscillations of tide waters have been studied as another means of triggering earthquakes in Coastal areas. Several hundred articles in the world's scientific literature have explored this mechanism, along with the undulatory effects of "earth tides" that affect the interiors of continents, more than a thousand miles from the seashore.
These tidal effects are mainly the result of the phases of the Moon, although the Sun contributes about 42 per cent to the range of ocean tides. When the Earth is in a tug-of-war between the Sun and Moon, the earth tides can attain three feet, and in sea coast areas of unusual topography, such as in the Bay of Fundy, the ocean tides can range more than 50 feet in a six hour period. (Contrast this with the island shores of the mid-Pacific, where tides may range less than two feet.)
All this talk of water loading and unloading needs a quantitative basis for clear understanding. There is no question that the crust of the Earth behaves elastically and massive ice sheets depresses it many hundreds of feet. In fact, in Scandinavia and Canada where continental glaciers exceeded two miles in thickness as recently as 12,000 to 18,000 years ago, the solid crust is still slowly rising in response to relief from the great load of ice.
At the Golden Gate, where a normal range in daily tide is four to five feet, the daily difference between high and low tide often exceeds eight feet at the time of a new or full Moon (syzygy.) The range may reach 8.5 to 9.2 feet on the rare occasions when a syzygy occurs on the same day as the monthly closest approach of the Moon to the Earth (perigee.) This rare event takes place only from two to five times per year and the maximum gravitational force between 1600 AD and 2200 AD took place at such a time on January 4, 1912, the day of the strongest West Coast earthquake in two years. Was this just coincidence? Let us analyze some forces that may cause old Mother Earth to "slip a disk" (or a plate?):
One acre = 43,560 sq. ft. ; One acre-foot of water = 43,560 cu. ft.; x 62.4 lbs./cubic foot = 2,714,439 lbs. = 1,357.22 tons
One square mile =640 acres; 640 x 1,357.22 tons = 868,620 tons/ ft. (of pure water)
Sea water (specific gravity 1.035) weighs more. 1.03.5 x 868,620 = 899,022 tons/sq. mi. (per foot of sea-water). In addition, for each foot of cold turbid sea-water (maximum density at 39.4F), the load for each square mile would be about 920,000 tons. To make it memorable, I refer to the loading as "nearly 1 million tons per square mile."
Now look at the 500 square miles of the San Francisco Bay and Delta, where eight to nine feet of saline water surges back and forth within a six-hour cycle:
9 ft. x 500 sq. mi. x 1 million tons equals a rapid load change totaling about 4.5 BILLION tons No wonder Mother Earth occasionally slips a disk in the San Francisco Bay Area!

It's a historical FACT that Steve Bales correctly called that the alarm could safely be ignored. That's why Bara's comment, IN CONTEXT, is TOTALLY WRONG.
So Mikey did own mikebara.com. You know, it only costs $7.99/year to renew a domain with godaddy ($15/year for a more reputable service).
This would suggest that Mikey didn't have $7.99 to rub together when that domain expired.
Tsk, tsk Mikey. What did your mommy tell you about those Vegas strippers again?
-Mike Bara
Most of the charlatans - so called "ancient aliens experts",like Mike Bara, are 11th Grade ignoramuses who never attended a single class in classical archeology, geology or antiquity studies. Historical records show no interaction whatsoever between human civilizations & Extra terrestrials. At best,the only metaphorical schemes that might be remotly associated with "Extra terrestrials visitations",are creations myths,but these particular creations stories are subject to spiritual,societal & religious interpretations of "space gods".
However I have serious problems with Mike Heiser, his debunking of Sitchin is fairly accurate, but Heiser does it from a Judeo Christian perspective. As a Christian scholar, Heiser is the personification of the academic who leaves his rationality & critical thinking at the door of his church on Sunday
Before I forget, I should mention the link I posted is from this thread at "JREF"
Mike Bara homophobic rhetoric & constant references to male genitalia, is the result of a psycho pathological projection.Bara is most certainly a self loathing closet homosexual.
You ever check your Email? ;)

Expat you use the Science I will use my superpower. Sarcasm.
MB on the other hand will use the block button and his razor sharp repartee. No just the usual "FTard", and you "Trolls". See I told you I was.
Update:

. . . and link to a post from 2010.
Mayvbe you need to fix that......
What about our modest contribution to assist Expat on the archeological perspective (in regard to the Ziggurat,"artificial structures" & Lunar artifacts).
Well, there seems to be a lull right now, while Hoagy waits for the prunes to unclog his blockage, why not skim through his first book and let us know what you think of it?
Hoagland was slightly less insane back then, and I had not yet become a skeptic, so his very appealing arguments were easier for me to swallow.
As for the writing style, it's not radically different from Dark Mission, but if I'm remembering correctly, the book did seem less grammatically troubled than Hoagland and Bara's more recent works.
From a dialectical & behavioral perspective, Misti is quite interesting.She is the closest thing to a MIB. She frequently uses semi-profane & (or) lewd language,incoherent rhetorics & always drops out of nowhere ;)
DM is a much cleaner work. While it's still full of crap, it's at least readable. So Bara has more writing skill (and a better work ethic) than Hoagland
As a result we can now see the steady buildup of his magazine pieces during the 70s and early 80s. In that same period he was contracted to NASA GSFC for some technical documentation. It's a fairly safe bet that somewhere in there he ran into a publisher or an agent who bought his spiel about the need for a book, leading to MoM in 1987. What's the betting he delivered the MS six months late?
North Atlantic Books, was the publisher for Monuments. It's located in Berkeley, California, where Hoagland went to school at UC Berkeley, where they have their own, cute little nuclear power plant, and do secret government research.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Richard C. Hoagland is an agent of influence for the Center for Security Policy.
Hoagland's handler is Dr. George A. Keyworth II, former science advisor to President Ronald Reagan.
The Center for Security Policy uses Hoagland and his "Enterprise Mission" to bolster public interest in Mars exploration in order to apply pressure to President Bush to support a significant increase in funding for the space program under the auspices of Project Prometheus.
The goal of Project Prometheus is the development of enabling technologies for the military control of space under the cover of peaceful space exploration.
The program has the backing of Vice President Dick Cheney and NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe.

"This is a defining moment," said Richard Hoagland (enterprisemission.com(1)) kicking off Friday night's program. He was on the air to spearhead support for Project Prometheus, NASA's recently announced nuclear-powered propulsion system which could triple the speed of current space travel. Hoagland suggested listeners email or fax the White House endorsing Prometheus and missions to Mars that could be facilitated by this technology. He believes it is crucial to do this before Pres. Bush's State of the Union address on Tuesday. Click here(2) to send your email.

@Tara Jordan
Links please.
@Misti (from that link)
As a result, NASA is viewed by much of the general public as being synonymous with space. Support space exploration? Support NASA!
No S**t Sherlock. Somebody nominate this guy for the Nobel Prize.
Oops. Found the link from Misti's earlier post. More conspiracy nonsense from the Big Man himself.
I stand corrected. That fat guy is Mikey's brother.
Anyway, sit back and enjoy some recent pictures of Mikey's successful career.

Here's one of his love interests. Pinups for Ron Paul 2012.
http://www.dawnmarieanderson.com/the-act-of-play.html
Hoagland drums up support for NASA, by making outrageous claims that NASA wouldn't dare to make. There likely is an internal struggle between special interest groups within NASA for control of the agency. I don't think Hoagland's group is the good guys, anymore than is the group that seems to think that NASA can do no wrong.

By way of explanation he later added "I'm laying this out for people who aren't my friends on this social network."
Oops, silly me -- I've violated his terms of use already.
I'm laughing at Bara for being just another chump so propagates status update spam on Facebook.
I was about to make that very same point. Hoagland also thinks his FB page belongs to him, but as you point out, it (thanks to the ToS) all belongs to Face Book. As long as Bara and Hoagland insist on using their servers and code, neither one has the right to dictate any kind of copyright limits on the material posted (by them or others) there.
If you go to the genesis of the Mars ordeal that started in mid 70`s with individuals like James Hurtak (Hurtak was the man who originally refered to the Face on Mars as "Sphink like" & back in 1975 Hurtak "predicted" the existence of a Sphinx image on Mars),you`ll find some prominent members of the school of "new Egyptologists" who generated the Egypt-Giza-Mars connections storyline.Some of these individuals were also connected to the SRI & various CIA sponspored scientific institutes (Schor Foundation-Florida State University etc..)Also involved were Remote viewers (& former US Army ambiguous characters) such as Schnabel,Morehouse.Mc Moneagle,Ed Dames.

Thank you.This is essentially my beef with the debunking community.
Debunkers & their arch-enemies (the UFO buffs & pseudo science believers) pretty much behave in the same way, when challenged & confronted by extreme critical thinking.Denial.....(cannot really blame them since denial is a natural& fundamental part of the psychological defensive mecanism).
The debunking community is relentlessly willing to "investigate the paranormal, fringe science, pseudoscience,& extraordinary claims of all kinds, promote critical thinking", yet debunbers take anything for granted as long as it comes from "official channels", & are extremely reluctant to question & deconstruct the political establishment shenanigans. Deceptions & manipulations are essential elements of the governing process.
Look no further than the Pentagon Papers,the Iraqi aluminium tubes,the yellow cakes & weapons of mass destructions fairy tales, etc...you may call use the term "conspiracies" but these happened to be real governmental programs with the sole intention of deceiving & manipulating public opinion.
But to be clear,I dont think that NASA as an insitution,or most people working for the CIA & Defense Department are aware about what is going on behind the scene. Given the institutional secrecy,the size of the government bureaucracy and high degree of compartmentalization that exists within it,most people dont have a clue about what is going on next door.
The only difference is, I have never been a "believer". We alrealdy had this conversation on your site.I refuse to swallow the garbage that comes out of the New Age-paranormal-UFO communities, but I am equally inquisitive & critical of what originates from "official channels".Call me extra skeptical;)
What site are you referring to? I do have a couple of Google Blogger blogs, but I definitely haven't talked to you or anybody else on those blogs about the matters we're discussing here.
Have you and I talked on Facebook? Or are you possibly mistaking me for somebody else?
@Misti.You don`t have to be so aggressive;).We don`t need to agree with each other in order to respect each other,or at least engage & exchange in a civilized manner.I think you`d agree that Expat provides a platform for freedom of speech. He doesn't necessarily always agree & enjoy our contributions, but he is not preventing us from expressing ourselves.
Beyond that, you should learn to play nicely with others. Your hostility does not serve you well. It just adds to the perception that you're kind of nutty.
I think that's what you're implying, but I'm not sure. If that is the case, what do you see as being our major disagreements?
It's kind of hard for me to guess, because I honestly don't know what you believe. I just know that you seem to be very angry at people for no reason that I can discern. Have I ever insulted you without realizing it? If I have, I'll apologize.
Let's try this again.
Why don't you guys hold NASAss' butt to the fire, about not releasing all the images in the archive; particularly any time they filter out green and blue with red on pictures of Mars, without explanation for the reason, and without side by side comparison of the original image?
Do you think nobody notices how you all duck direct questions, just like Hoagland does?
Scroll down.
1)I neither blamed-attacked FlighSuit nor NASA in particular.I was critical of the Debunking community & its sacro saint symbiotic relationship with the "mainstream intellectual establishment",& its reluctance to question "authority".
2) I`m not going to post any longer on this Blog.My politically incorrect comments are at best ignored or at worst taken out of context.
Since I am at it,I have a question for Chris Lopes.You gave me your email(for the purpose of archeological anthropological chitchat),I mailed you twice, never got any response,& recently you ignored the comments I am addressing you on this blog.I never intended on having an extramarital affair with you, but I have questions about your attitude
Misti, I can't say I know too much about these issues you've brought up. I know Hoagland has always claimed NASA is "hiding the true color of Mars," and I know Phil Plait has addressed those claims and I know that I, personally, possess less technical knowledge of the issues involved than either of those people.
Your comment seems to imply, however, that NASA and Hoagland are on equal footing and should be treated equally. In my mind, they kind of aren't.
Anyway, do you think NASA is hiding something?
No it isn't. NASA doesn't come up with fanciful ideas about anti-gravity and attempt to justify them with atrociously wrong math.
NASA doesn't take a 35-year-old wristwatch up a Mayan pyramid and publish the results as though they were science.
As regards images of Mars, the HiRISE catalog currently has 26,000 excellent images and the library continues to grow. Don Davis is the expert on Martian color. He doesn't run a blog but he's written tons about it.
http://www.donaldedavis.com/PARTS/colors.html
I have received no emails from you.
@Chris, why don`t you create a Facebook account? its free & only takes a minute to do so. I have a bunch of interesting friends, from field ethno-anthropologists, journalists-writers, to notorious astrophysicist
One more FLICK'n time.
NASA releases images of Mars, filtered in red, which absorbs the colors blue and green. NASA does so without explanation as to why they use the filter, or what they are trying to find, by filtering out the green and blue.
Furthermore, NASA fails to provide those same images as they were originally, without the red filtration.
NASA does not say what is green and blue, that they have to filter out. NASA is hiding everything blue and green.
NASA is hiding the vast majority of images in it's archive.
Now here's a question. What could possibly be a good reason, that you would find acceptable, for NASA to have to hide what is green and blue on Mars?
How about this?
This isn't science. Peers need to be able to recreate the test in order to validate the results, including Hoagland, Bara, or any American citizen who wants to take a crack at it.

"Misti: Would you say this http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_028598_1900 is a good example, or just an average example?"
Misti Parker says...
Perfect example of arbitrary grey scale approximation of whatever NASA wishes to convey. Pretty colors though, even the white is extra crisp.
