Anonymous Coward User ID: 72530568 Canada 07/13/2020 01:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 3 biggest frauds of the last 150 years are: Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72877847 Einstein, Freud, Marx. Guess what them 3 all have in common? Edison is close to them, you know who was the true one: Tesla. Perhaps with regards to individuals, but I would offer Barack Obama to be up there in the top 5. As for historical events, the Titanic, The Holocaust, and 911 must be in the top 5 as well. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 75715977 United States 07/13/2020 11:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The stuff about Edison I did not know. I knew he bought and marketed patented ideas but I thought he was a legit inventer in his own right. Seems like the only person who gets out of this with a clean record was Tesla. The story about Spanish Coca-Cola is simply incredible and I cannot believe I have never heard it before. This article is pretty much spot-on regarding propaganda-as-history. A few morsels spring to mind: Concentration camps, in the modern era, aren't the brainchild of Germany or Japan. The British Empire, as savage as any other, invented concentration camps to deal with the Boers in Southern Africa. The Soviet Union abandoned attempts at putting men into space after a Cosmonaut returned from a deep-space excursion in a highly irradiated deep-fried condition. Yet the USA managed to put a whole menagerie of giant-leaping heroes in tin cans onto the Moon with nary a suntan. Did Colonel Gaddafi really issue viagra to his soldiers to help them rape everything that moved? Did Saddam Hussein's soldiers really go on a rampage throwing Kuwaiti infants out of incubators and leaving them on the floor to die? Did Bashar al Assad really drop chlorine munitions on his own people at exactly the time when his forces were winning the tide of battle? As Mr. Romanoff says, 50% of history is obscured from our view, and most of the rest is fiction. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 71613961 Switzerland 07/13/2020 11:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "There are only two nations in the world whose existence seems to be founded primarily on historical myths. In the US, false historical mythology permeates every nook and cranny of the American psyche, the result of more than 100 years of astonishing and unconscionable programming and propaganda, a massive crime against an entire population. This condition pertains not only to past events we think of as history, but to the extent that most items permitting Americans to 'feel good by being an American' are fabricated Disney fairytales. This essay is a brief introduction to only a minor aspect of this subject. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75806411 In the introduction to my series of books (soon to be published) I wrote that 'Perhaps 90%, or even 95%, of everything we know, or think that we know, or that we believe to be true about history, is wrong. To express this another way, if we were to take the history of the entire world for the past 500 years and compress it into a book of 100 pages, a full 50 of those pages would be blank. That is the extent to which our true history has been suppressed, entirely deleted from the record and from our consciousness. Of the remaining 50 pages, 45 are false in whole or in part, photoshopped, sanitised, twisted, and with critical details omitted to deliberately lead the public to the wrong conclusions.' Einstein, the Mythical Genius One of the greatest mythical frauds in history is that of Albert Einstein, the famous physicist who invented the Theory of Relativity, and so many other esoteric things. But this is all fabrication. The claims about Einstein inventing any theory of relativity, or light and photons, or time, are false. Almost every claim - almost everything - attributed to Einstein is simply a lie. Einstein was an inept who contributed nothing original to the field of quantum mechanics, nor any other science. Far from being a competent physicist, he once even flatly denied that the atom could be split and, much later, admitted that the idea of a chain reaction in fissile material 'had never occurred to me.' Einstein was a third-class clerk at the government patent office in Bern, and never progressed beyond this level even with years of experience. By all contemporary reports, Einstein wasn't even an accomplished mathematician. It has been well documented that much of the mathematical content of Einstein's so-called theories were well beyond his ability. Walter Isaacson, president of the Aspen Institute, stated that Einstein’s first wife Mileva Maricwas a 'Serbian physicist who had helped him with (his) math...' Other prominent scientists have made the claim that his wife did most of his math for him. Henri Poincare was the foremost expert on relativity in the late 19th century and the first person to formally present the theories, having published more than 30 books and over 500 papers on the topics. Extensive documentation exists that Einstein and his associates had studied Poincare's theories and mathematics for years, yet when Einstein published his almost wholly-plagiarised versions he made no reference whatever to these other works. In the accepted historical account, Einstein is credited with having written the correct field equations for general relativity, an enormous falsehood. It is an undisputed fact that David Hilbert sent Einstein a draft of his work (which had already been submitted for publication), containing precisely these equations, evidenced by the existence of a letter from Einstein to Hilbert thanking him for doing so. Yet a few weeks later, Einstein delivered a public speech of Hilbert’s work, claiming full credit for the derivation of Hilbert’s equations. Similarly, E=mc^2, the famous equation relating mass, energy, and the speed of light, had been published several times by Italian physicist Olinto De Pretto, long before Einstein was suddenly given credit for it. In multiple thorough reviews of scientific literature, prominent scientists have unanimously stated that there is 'absolutely nothing to connect Einstein to the derivation of this formula.' Einstein’s papers, theories, mathematics, documentation, were almost 100% plagiarised from others. He combined the prior published works of several people into one paper and claimed ownership of all of it. His so-called theories were nothing more than a composition encompassing the prior work of men like James Maxwell, Hendrik Lorentz, Joseph Larmor, Olinto De Pretto, Robert Brown, Ludwig Boltzmann, Friedrich Hasenohrl, and many more. In a paper he wrote in 1907, in part responding to (already-virulent) accusations of plagiarism, Einstein declared that plagiarism was perfectly acceptable as a form of ethical research, stating '...the nature [of physics is] that what follows has already been partly solved by other authors. I am [therefore] entitled to leave out a thoroughly pedantic survey of the literature…' In other words, scientists all build on each others’ work, so Einstein could freely compile the work of everyone before him and re-present it as his own, with no obligation to even mention them or their work. His view of ethical science was like building a tower where each person adds one stone and, if I add the last stone, I not only take credit for the entire design and construction of the tower, but I own the building. Perhaps the most damning evidence was when in 1953 Sir Edmund Whittaker published a very detailed account of the origin and development of all these theories and equations of physics, with extensive reference to the primary sources, documenting beyond doubt that Einstein had no priority in any of it, and clearly stating so. Einstein was alive and well when Whittaker published his book, yet he offered no dispute to the conclusions, no refutation of Whittaker’s claim that he (Einstein) had been irrelevant to the entire process. Einstein made no attempts in his own defense but simply hid in the bushes and refused to make any public comment whatever. Einstein was almost certainly the greatest fraud and plagiarist in modern science, an unashamed intellectual thief but, according to sources like Wikipedia, this is all just a minor 'priority dispute' about who said what first in the realm of relativity physics. These sources misleadingly imply that several people made a discovery independently and more or less simultaneously, and we are simply debating who went public first. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Wikipedia is renowned as being virtually useless as an information source due to widespread ideological bias and censorship. Einstein was J..wish and had the support of the J..wish-controlled media who conspired to create yet another historical myth. His fame and popularity today, his status as a hero of the scientific world, are due only to decades of a well-planned force-feeding of the Einstein myth to the masses by the media. The propaganda machine simply airbrushed out of the history books all the physicists who formulated these theories, and credited everything to Einstein. Without the extravagant generations-long PR and propaganda campaign, Einstein would have remained in the dustbin of obscurity where he belongs. There are many Einstein apologists who produce reams of heavily-documented irrelevancies masquerading as proof, items such as a schoolmate who claimed 'the flight of his mathematical genius was so high that I could no longer follow.' Many scientists and scientific historians know the truth of all this, and the accurate historical record is readily available, but many appear afraid to speak out for fear of damaging their careers. I have put the question to several prominent physicists in different countries, eliciting similar responses, namely that 'it will not further one’s career to open a debate which will inevitably produce a tsunami of invective and slander, to say nothing of accusations of anti-S..mitism.' Time Magazine published more than a dozen issues on Einstein, including a special Collector’s Edition, and even ran an issue naming Einstein the 'Person of the Century'. As with all other American heroes, the PR machine has worked for decades to embellish the myth with a collection of possibly hundreds of wise sayings attributed to this man where there is absolutely no historical evidence he ever said any of those things. The NYT published an article on a small cleverly-selected scientific dispute, in which it claimed 'Findings Back Einstein in a Plagiarism Dispute'. And thus is history spun by those who control the microphone. This is why so many pages in our history book consist of misrepresentations and omitted facts, painting a picture so considerably at odds with the truth. As with Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, the Wright Brothers and so many others, the false historical myths have been so deeply entwined in American and world history that they cannot be unraveled..."
