“But lurking in the solar system’s dark recesses, rumour has it, is an unsighted world - Planet X, a frozen body perhaps as large as Mars, or even Earth.”
Rumor has it? Yes, “rumor” from ancient lores including an extensive description of PlanetX and its inhabitants and its past effects on the solar system and earth, courtesy of the Sumerians, the earliest known on earth. If “rumor” holds true, not only is there a planet X, we can expect a visit to the inner solar system in the not too distant future. Say about 2012. This would not be good news. Forget about buying gold.

According to Sitchin — the inventor of Nibiru — the fictional planet is on a 3600 year orbit, which means it would have made its last pass through the inner Solar System in the late centuries BC.
Nothin’.
As for your second article, well...here is the original image. You judge for yourself. I can make all sorts of claims about images being inverted and mirrored, especially when my target audience knows NOTHING about spacecraft instruments.
His photo collage after that of "Planet X" peeking out from behind the sun shows a flawed understanding of orbital physics. Likely gleaned from hours of watching Star Trek and Star Wars in his parent's basement.
