Conspiracy Corner – Bomber and the Igloo

So, I didn’t manage to fit in another round of “Prometheus” hate but, rather, simply decided to talk about the vapid conspiracy theorising (vapid in the sense of “Where is the evidence?”) Martyn “Bomber” Bradbury recently engaged in when talking about the Sky TV/TVNZ set top box, Igloo.

Conspiracy Corner – The X-37 Trip

On the 5th of March, 2011CE, the United States Airforce launched a X-37 space plane. It was meant to be in orbit for 290 days, but it returned on June the 16th, 2012, some 469 days later.

What was the X-37 doing all that time? Why did it take so long to come back? Did it encounter a space-born virus which it has returned to Earth, a virus which will wipe out all humanity? Well, no; that’s vaguely the plot of the first Quatermass serial. Still, there’s a question about what it was the X-37 was up to, and when it comes to questions about what military hardware is really doing, you know there are going to be conspiracy theories abounding.

(I apologise for the continuing attacks on “Prometheus;” all I can say is that the opportunity came up to dismiss its merits and I could not resist it.)

Conspiracy Corner – Mitt Romney’s birth certificate

Hello.

This week, on “Conspiracy Corner,” I talked a little about this article, which is how the Birthers have reacted to the release of Mitt Romney’s “Certificate of Live Birth” and how some of them don’t seem to be applying the same standards to Romney as they have to Obama (weird, huh?). Why not have a listen?

Warning: Post contains significant amounts of non-spoilery hatred of the film “Prometheus.”
