While they may be interested enough in what he has to say to hang out on his FB page (or listen to him on C2C), they might not be interested enough to pay real money to read his words. That's especially true if those words are just a regurgitation of stuff they've heard before.<br /><br />Hoagland has the same problem. For the most part, his fans love him until it's time to pay for his words. Yes there are exceptions of course(the suckers who donated money for his "trip"), but most of his fans just hang out for the free stuff. I'm guessing that may have something to do with his absence on FB. He only wants to talk to paying customers these days.Chris Lopeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15603182786879935663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051630750074978974.post-61536827969794061832012-09-21T07:14:23.211-07:002012-09-21T07:14:23.211-07:00How sweet it is!

Bara's NASA-shill play was telegraphed from the very beginning, as it is Hoagland's play too.

I recently got involved in a debate with a Moon Hoax believer on YouTube, and when I pointed out the Phil Plait had disproved the belief that we never went to the moon, he kept asking "Who'd funding Phil Plait?"<br /><br />This lead to us going around and around in circles. I was trying to get him to explain to me exactly what it was that he thought Phil Plait was engaged in that would require "funding," but he couldn't do that. He made allusions to Plait running some "big organization," which I assume was JREF, but I pointed out that Plait no longer runs JREF and that JREF's finances would have to be a matter of public record, given that JREF is a non-profit.<br /><br />No matter what I said, this idiot kept coming back to "Who's funding him?"<br /><br />So if you debunk crazy beliefs, you are obviously a puppet, and shadowy puppet masters are clearly funneling millions of dollars in your direction so you'll continue to spread disinformation.FlightSuithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18424355892619234956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051630750074978974.post-24067842000282257752012-09-16T00:03:58.571-07:002012-09-16T00:03:58.571-07:00Supposedly, Mikey will be on C2C on Sept. 24 (a Mo...Supposedly, Mikey will be on C2C on Sept. 24 (a Monday). I do plan on calling in. If I get on, and if at all possible, I plan on asking three things:<br /><br />1. What would it take to falsify his belief/claim that can actually be done (as in, going there doesn't count).<br /><br />2. Why does he only believe the one source from a video game forum and NO other source? (His "other images" that show it really don't if you bother to look at them - part 5 of his 5-part series).<br /><br />3. If he wants to play "follow the money" games with my education and research, I want to know how much of his income is made by promoting his ideas on the radio, through books, and at conferences.astroguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04807615605691873999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051630750074978974.post-21191500870709847412012-09-14T16:15:04.305-07:002012-09-14T16:15:04.305-07:00Well, not only that but the airbrush team was inst...Well, not only that but the airbrush team was instructed to remove the ziggurat but leave the flying saucer in.
