546. Kinsey Debunked

546.  Kinsey Debunked

The article presented in entry 545 led me to Reisman's web page.

I had always thought of Alfred Kinsey as of a serious scientist until I watched this documentary:   

Secret History: Kinsey's Paedophiles
A Yorkshire Television production by Tim Tate

http://www.drjudithreisman.com/archives/2009/03/watch_videos_on.html#tate

This documentation debunks Kinsey as scientifically a fraud and as having facilitated, promoted and encouraged the molestation of children.  
Evidence of him paying money to a father for taking notes and using a stop watch while abusing his own daughter is shown.   

508. Hilarious Woo-Woo

508.    Hilarious Woo-Woo

Sometimes I have been suspected to lack any sense of humor. Yesterday I found something, that made me laugh, until my belly ached:

First the information:

"On 3 March 2008, in a popular TV show, Sanal Edamaruku, the president of Rationalist International, challenged India’s most “powerful” tantrik (black magician) to demonstrate his powers on him.

[Pandit Surinder Sharma] claimed that he was able to kill any person he wanted within three minutes by using black magic. 

After all his chanting of mantra (magic words) and ceremonies of tantra failed, the tantrik decided to kill Sanal Edamaruku with the “ultimate destruction ceremony” on live TV. "

On this page are the three videos of the event:

The first can be skipped, but the display of woo-woo in the second and the third are between the most hilarious stuff, that I have seen in a long time.  

267. A Fascinating Video

A Fascinating Video

I already have written entry 107 as a homage to James Randi.   Here is a video of a nearly three hours long lecture by Randi.     I really enjoyed watching it.

235. Water for the Price of Gold

Water for the Price of Gold

I just came across something very great.   

 

Tomorrow is the world wide 10:23 Anti-Homeopathy protest action.
 

Unfortunately, the next place, where I could participate, is a bit too far away.    I wished I could take part in the action, I would not mind to drink an entire bottle of homeopathic Belladonna or Arsenic.   But the water from the tap is cheaper......    

It needs a lot of bottle shaking for every C added.   I wonder, how many of the laborers, who are supposed to do all the shaking, just fill the little bottles with tap water, when their boss is not looking.   Nobody can ever proof scientifically the difference between shaken and not shaken water.     

Some people have the brains to transport others to the moon.   And some people even lack the brains to know, that homeopathic remedies are plain water.

"The 10:23 Challenge is a follow-up to the 'overdose' protest staged by the 10:23 Campaign in 2010. International protesters from more than 10 countries, and more than 23 cities will gather for over the weekend of February 5-6 2011, to make the simple statement:

 Homeopathy - There's Nothing In It."

This is my favorite of all the movies on that site:

The guy makes a homeopathic 30C remedy from his piss.  According to the claims of homeopathy, it is supposed to cure angry Americans and drunken Brits.
