She has the body of a high-dollar porn star with the acting skills of a low-budget porn star.

Read that somewhere before... can’t take credit.

Even a broken clock is correct occasionally.

But one that runs slow might take an extremely long time to show the correct time...

It’s been said that parody is no longer possible. Might be true.

"I'm guessing that if one day Fox needs a root canal, she won't go down the street to the local real estate office to have it done, just as if she needs to sell her house, she won't turn to a dentist," said Dr. Anderson.

Dr. Anderson is an anti-dentite?

She is correct in that you don't often find true history coming from our current universities.

History is written by the victors. - Winston Churchill -

History is a set of lies agreed upon. - Napoleon Bonaparte -

We will go down in history either as the world's greatest statesmen or its worst villains.


Me History is written to support the liberal elite lack of moral and ethical values.

“I haven’t spent my entire life building a career in academia so I don’t have to worry about my reputation or being rebuked by my colleagues”

Which means you can then spout YOUR rubbish to get ratings instead ???

I dont get cable tv, but seeing its content while visiting relatives I was struck that ‘the History Channel’ was doing little but showing crap like UFO investigation history and such other ratings rubbish (I guess all the REAL history wore out, having been been played repeatedly for the last 30 odd years).

So TV is largely whoring anyway — showing off the glittery bits (or controversy mongering) and now ‘the conspiracy of archeologists’ ...

Going to odd places and digging stuff up is only the start of the process. New evidence (much archeological evidence frequently being spotty and rare much of the time ) is fit into other evidence over decades and even then only offers a shadow of what happened in the past.

Its understood. We don’t need some philistine mouthing off for their 15 minutes of fame to promote their ratings rubbish to make a buck.

Unreal, a total Airhead hosting a show like this who questions the finds made. I want be watching this travesty. Fox pretty much wrecked her career when she made comments about Michael Bay and he just dropped her from the Transformer Series, now what has she done lately??????????

Inside scoop- A farmer discovered timbers that state archaeologists determined to be of Viking origin. It was too far south for the timbers to be of Viking construction, so the state arch`s covered it up and suppressed the report... 3 sites were found in the mountains by the locals. It was determined by the arch`s that the sites were of Celtic origin. This too was covered up. This info is from my friend at the state archaeology dept. Stuff like this goes on all the time because it would upset their history agenda. I kid you not.
A 5,000 year old “Native American” site was discovered during EPA investigations of my friend`s farm only 1/4 mile from my farm. I went out to investigate as the state archaeologists had it all flagged off with tiny flags. I stopped and asked an archaeologist at the site what a particular flag was for. He said to me, “Oh, thats the end of a stone wall we found. “ I replied, A stone wall?” He said, “yes”. I asked him “How long is it?”
He said, “We determined it goes all the wall to that mountain.” The mountain was over a mile away. What “Native American” builds a wall over a mile long? This site was never released by the state arch`s to the public. I asked for it but they said it wasn`t available. I know of no Indians in this whole state that built mile long stone walls 5000 years ago. Less than 1/4 mile away a local bulldozer was on a mountain clearing the soil down to bedrock for a road. The bulldozer operator uncovered by accident a series of sundials, elephants, and starmaps carved into the bedrock. This bedrock was under 6 feet of soil. The operator took pictures of the sundials, etc. before covering them up again. The carvings were not disturbed. This incident was not reported to the state archaeologists because the locals had seen their suppressive actions before.
A town construction crew was installing a series of roads and sidewalks near a river. They dug down 12 feet to test the
soil and bedrock. They dug up a series of stone blocks which contained a carving a of a panache-helmeted man. This too was not reported to the state arch`s. Photos were taken of these carvings by the locals. There is an island fort in a river south of here which was claimed aimed to have been built by the Spanish by the state arch`s. But the local Indian tribes said that it was there before their ancestors arrived. This was confirmed by a Dutch account in 1629 of finding the fortress and the Indian accounts were recorded by the Dutch. However, to this very day the state arch`s keep suppressing the truth and claim it was built by the Spanish. The French arrived here in the 1700`s. They wanted to build a fort. They asked the Abenakis, their allies, where there was a good source of hard stone they could cut for the fort. “Come with us, the Abenakis said. “We will show you 2 places were the cliff has been blown out already.” These blocks were on a 1759 British map. The rockpile of cut blocks existed until the 1950`s. I climbed over them when I was a kid. They were at least 6- 8 feet long by 3-4 feet wide nearly perfect right angles with no cutting chip marks, like giant ice cubes.. Some of the houses here have these stone blocks as foundations which I saw . I kid you not. A stele 6 feet high surrounded by large flat stones 6 feet long with carvings of dolphins and symbols was discovered by local on the bank of a river. Pictures were taken and it was never reported to the arch`s. All kinds of stuff like this.

Reminds me of the old “IN SEARCH OF...” series from years ago. They finally did place a small disclaimer on their end titles.
