Why Mike Bara didn't get his Time Magazine cover this year

photo credit: David Mitchell (25%) Time-Life (the rest)

His insults are out of date. Nobody uses a douche bag nowadays.

His predictions for the Presidential election were about as wrong as it's possible to be.

He used the massacre of 20 children to promote his wretched book.

He claimed that he never believed in the December 21 apocalypse. Yet the cover sell on The Choice included the words There is a Great Shift coming in the near future....

He trusted the Call of Duty Zombies web gaming forum as an authentic source of space imagery.

He published 40-year-old lunar images at very low resolution, ignoring the LROC images that were 100 times better.

He utterly failed to respond to some stinging criticism of his work in Amazon reader reviews.

He deliberately misquoted his own book, attempting to cover a gross error.

He went on Ancient Aliens: The NASA Connection and made nine mistakes.

He wrote I haven't looked at them in response to a Farcebook query about lunar images from the Japanese Selene, Indian Chandrayaan, and Chinese Chang'E missions.  This is a statement by someone who claims expertise on interpretation of such imagery. Furthermore it isn't entirely true. He was made to look at the Selene image covering the part of the Moon where he claimed to identify a mile-square ziggurat.

A textbook case of intellectual dishonesty

        Just three short days after Mike Bara made us all retch by invoking the unspeakable horrors of Newtown CT to not only speak of the unspeakable but use it to promote his wretchedly inaccurate book, Mike has pushed the boundaries of bad taste yet further.

        Mike's Farcebook enclave today contains two items of interest — first, that his brother's dog had a successful shit in the park today. Second, this announcement. What do they have in common? The whiff of feces.

        I don't know who or what "conservative drink.com" is, and I don't intend to find out. This is dishonesty on the Goebbels scale.

        The Pearl High School Shooting happened on 1st October 1997. Yes, I heard about it. Yes, Joel Myrick confronted the shooter, Luke Woodham, and stopped the violence. BEFORE THAT, HOWEVER, Woodham had clubbed his mother to death, killed two students and injured seven others.

        Did we hear about this in the mainstream media? That depends on whether you count the New York Times, People Magazine, and CNN as mainstream media, I guess.

RIP Patrick Moore

        A former colleague. I can't say I really liked him—he was too crusty and opinionated to be likable—but any TV producer has got to have a soft spot for someone to whom you could say "Patrick, we need 3 min 15 sec on Lunakhod. Ready? 3 - 2 - 1 - CUE HIM" and off he'd go.

Hoagland confused about everything, including his own copyright

        Richard Hoagland's latest attempt to write something coherent, a miniature web-essay titled NASA Goes Apartment Hunting, displays his utter confusion, even about his own copyright claims. At the head of the piece it's declared to be © 2012 The Enterprise Mission — at the foot it's Copyright © 1996 - 2013 Richard C. Hoagland, All Rights Reserved. Well, Richard dear, which is it? It can't be both (and I don't think you can claim copyright for a year that hasn't yet arrived, either.)

        Fearlessly defying Hoagland's ferocious team of crack copyright attorneys, I quote the first sentence:

"At the annual American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting, held in San Francisco, Monday, December 3, 2012, NASA quietly announced a “new target” for its Curiosity rover in the next few days..."

        He really loves to insert that word "quietly." It conveys a subtle atmosphere of intrigue and conspiracy but it means absolutely nothing at all. On page 58 of Dark Mission we find that...

"The Space Agency was quietly founded as a direct adjunct to the Department of Defense..."

        I wasn't present as President Eisenhower signed the Space Act into law, but I really doubt there was anything quiet about it. Plus, it almost goes without saying, Hoagland's interpretation of Sec. 305 (i) is totally wrong, as I pointed out some time ago.

Hoag-perbole

        We only have to wait for line 8 of the latest piece to read the expected Hoagland hyperbole:

...those results will ultimately alter the lives of every human being on Earth. [RCH's emphasis]

        He means the result of Curiosity's investigation of the place they've called Shaler, which is exactly the place Hoagland has claimed to be the ruins of motels and apartment blocks. The significance of the nickname—indicating that the formation is of shale, not drywall and stucco—really seems to have escaped him.

image credit: JPL

In late July 2011, on the Howard Hughes internet radio show, Hoagland said

o This is going to change EVERYTHING
o These images are MIND-BOGGLING
o This will CHANGE OUR LIVES FOR EVER

        On that occasion, he was talking about images of the asteroid Vesta. So even the diehard Branch Hoaglandians must by now have got the message that everything the Master says and writes will change our lives for ever. And therefore, obviously, none of it will.

        Later, he ascribes JPL's decision to have a look-see at Shaler to his appearance on Coast to Coast AM last Saturday -- a likely story, I don't think -- and quite wrongly writes that the label on Dr Grotzinger's laptop lid is the one word BUILDING (it isn't, it's the motto BUILDING CURIOSITY).

        Most hilarious of all, he ends with an invitation to JOIN THE ENTERPRISE CONFERENCE in order to discuss all this false information with "other members of the Enterprise Crew". Anybody who has not already seen that page really should click through and read. This rubbish was written ten years ago, and describes a $3.95/month subscription forum that ceased to exist less than a year later, leaving more than a few subscribers feeling cheated. The moderator is supposed to be Keith Rowland, who severed all connection with Enterprise Mission around that same time.

        Thus, Richard C. Hoagland achieves new heights of fraudulent inducement and sheer misinformation. Confused, dangerously confused....

Spaced out

        Meanwhile, Mike Bara's in London (Shoreditch, actually--not the nicest part by any means.) Since he's with Maureen Elsberry we may deduce that he'll shortly be featured on the Internet TV weekly Spacing Out! The production company is Open Minds, by which we may possibly deduce that the brains of the organization fell out long ago. Further confirmation is had by inspecting their list of past interviewees, and sampling the show. In an ep I happened across at random, Maureen and her nerdy partner were arranged in front of a stack of Ampex 2" Quad videotape spools. Since the Quad format has been obsolete since 1976, it gave me the creeps, slightly.

        Mike has posted a jpg of him holding an Emmy statuette. I didn't know there was a category "most factual errors in a 30-min documentary." We live and we learn.

Update:
        Curiosity has now arrived at Shaler. Do I see a discarded sign saying CHECKOUT TIME 11 AM. NO EXCEPTIONS? No, guess not. Richard Hoagland must be mistaken.

        This frame provides a very useful scale reference, because of the shadow of the masthead. The shadow would be the same width as the masthead itself, comparable with the width of an adult human head. So Hoagland's apartments & motels are miniature indeed.

JBW takes on RCH

        Poor old John B. Wells lost his Hoagland-virginity last night, as Coast-host. Three hours, and it did not go well for him.

        Things got off to a bad start when Wells said "So, remind me, it was Viking that took the original photo of the Face on Mars, right?" "No-no," replied the pseudoscientist. "Viking was in two parts, an orbiter and a lander. It was the orbiter that took the image." You could almost hear Wells' thoughts -- "Oh I get it, three hours of one-upmanship."

        Then it got zanier. The pseudoscientist went on to describe the image taken by Mars Global Surveyor in April 1998. He and his henchpersons have nothing but contempt for this image, because weather conditions at the time were about as bad as they can be on Mars. Only with extreme skill could Malin Space Science Systems (PI of the MOC) retrieve anything worth looking at at all.

image credit: Malin Space Science Systems

        Last night, unbelievably, instead of giving MSSS due credit for giving it their best shot, the pseudoscientist accused. He said "Malin waited until the fog was so thick that nothing could be seen, before taking that photo." That statement reveals such total lack of understanding of the general principles of orbital imaging that a knowledgeable host would have sent him away immediately, on grounds that he had nothing meaningful to offer. John Wells was NOT that knowledgeable host. We had more to suffer. Somehow, the really excellent image of Owen Mesa (as I prefer to call it, honoring Tobias Owen who first noticed the "face-like mesa") didn't get mentioned last night. I refer, of course, to the one shot by Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter in 2007, at about 100x the resolution of the original Viking pic. It didn't get mentioned because it totally falsifies the pseudoscientist's proposition that NASA has dragged its feet ("fought tooth and nail," I think he said) on giving us images.

        Well, inevitably, we finally got to the very recent imagery of Gale crater, returned by the Curiosity rover in full color and very high resolution. The pseudoscientist says these images undoubtedly show ruined apartment blocks. They show clear evidence of "geometry, parallel lines, symmetry. Features that natural landforms simply cannot have." There was much confusion about where these images could be found -- not on the C2C web site, and not on enterprisemishmash either. It was left to Greg Ahrens, who seems to be a Hoagland alter ego in Facebookistan, to provide links to eight images. Here's a typical one:

Oh, I see. Stratification. What a disappointment.

Off the scale

        Along around Hour 3, we got to the Accutron toy. The pseudoscientist persists in saying that he measured the torsion field with this apparatus, when of course he did nothing of the sort. Last night's explanation was, in fact, a denial in itself. He said (not verbatim) "The Accutron tuning fork normally vibrates at exactly 360 Hz. When I've taken it up pyramids, or to Stonehenge, it has shown readings of as much as 1000 Hz and as little as 14 Hz."

        It may be difficult to read the y-axis scale, so let me make it clear that its range is 359.269685 Hz to 360.750945 Hz. I don't doubt that it's quite possible to adjust that somewhat, but the proposition that it could be extended to a range of 1000 to 14 does rather stretch the old mind. In what sense does the word MEASURE have any meaning in the context of such wild excursions?

Update:
I e-mailed Bryan Mumford, MicroSet™ engineer, to ask if the apparatus was in fact capable of measuring such an enormous frequency range. His reply:

Yes, MicroSet could measure such excursions. But I am skeptical that any outside influence caused an Accutron to vary by so much unless it's broken.

        Well, finally, a Link to the Conscious Life Expo 90-min talk (which included the sneaker on Mars) did in fact appear on Enterprise Mash. Here it is -- somebody please let me know what it's like. I've had enough for now.
