The Missed Story of the Millennium: The Red Planet Lives
08/27/2003 14:51

Life on Mars v Is the Truth being hidden?
Since classical times, mankind has, in one form or another, postulated about whether life exists on Mars. Now that the Red Planet reaches its closest point to Earth in almost 60,000 years, it is the right time to tell a story as yet untold: that of the Frass Meteorite.

The Frass Meteorite has all the ingredients of a Conspiracy Theory story, including the mysterious and unexplainable death of the son of the man who discovered it, but at the same time, it bears the hallmarks of an astonishing truth which drives to the very essence of our collective existence and more astonishing still because the scientific establishment in the United States of America has systematically derided and ignored one glaring fact: the Frass Meteorite, from Mars, holds evidence that the Red Planet is, or was, alive.

Discovered in 1971 at the Frass Ranch in Texas, the Frass rock was tested and confirmed as a meteorite. K-Ar (Potassium-Argon) dating places it in time at 49 and 13 million years old, created in the same volcano at different stages. Elemental analysis shows that the meteorite could not have existed on Earth long before it was found, since exposure to water completely alters its composition.

Comparing the Frass meteorite with other samples from the Pathfinder project, it becomes clear that this type of rock is common on Mars, bearing identical characteristics. While there is nothing very unusual or unique about a fragment of rock landing on Earth from Mars, close examination of the Frass meteorite reveals zoophytes (life forms).

The relatively low gravity of Mars and its smaller atmospheric pressure renders the Red Planet liable to project material with escape velocity after impact by asteroids - and Mars' position near to the asteroid belt between itself and Jupiter makes it the easiest target for roaming space material. When Earth is closer to Mars, our planet's gravitational field is strong enough to attract the escape particles projected from Mars. NASA has estimated that every decade, 500 tons of Martian material reaches Earth.

The zoophytes in the Frass meteorite are fungus-like organisms and something that resembles a fly-type insect. The attempts to have the fragment tested have resulted in a number of reactions, which from falsification of results to the theft of samples, to the dismissal of the meteorite's discoverer (whose name is not revealed) from his job, meaning that he incurred extra difficulties in financing the websites he managed about his find.

Initial tests by scientists at the Geochron Laboratories in Cambridge, Massachusetts, proved promising at first but these were followed by a sudden stony wall of silence.

The scientific establishment in the United States of America has never investigated the zoophytes (although to anyone who has seen photographs of the Frass meteorite, their existence is startlingly obvious), neither have tests been made to confirm the point of origin. After all, 16 billion USD are being ploughed into NASA's space program to bring back some grams of Mars dust.

It is a pity that the Frass meteorite is not allowed to be the judge of where the truth lies over ignorance and lies and cover-ups, which reign in the billion-dollar, flat-earth, cloistered realm ruled over by bottom-line managers.

So let me get this straight. The guy finds a rock from Mars, and inside he finds:

Ooooooookay.

Scientists have been frantically searching for evidence of life (past or present) on Mars; the publicity would be staggering. Mars missions would conjure out of thin air. Tax money and contributions would pour in.

This tabloid special should be on Art Bell's site, along with the bogus Cydonia pics.

I personally believe we will eventually find either life on Mars or signs of life from the past. Be it microscopic, micro organisms or some other type, but I honestly believe it will eventually be found on or below the surface of that planet.

Pravda means 'truth' in Russian, but this website very frequently has fabricated stories. For example, they reported last year that Anna Kournikova broke her leg. They rarely report the truth.

The last two paragraphs of the article explain the "motivation" for the alleged conspiracy to keep this astounding discovery a secret:
The scientific establishment in the United States of America has never investigated the zoophytes (although to anyone who has seen photographs of the Frass meteorite, their existence is startlingly obvious), neither have tests been made to confirm the point of origin. After all, 16 billion USD are being ploughed into NASA's space program to bring back some grams of Mars dust.

It is a pity that the Frass meteorite is not allowed to be the judge of where the truth lies over ignorance and lies and cover-ups, which reign in the billion-dollar, flat-earth, cloistered realm ruled over by bottom-line managers.

Amazing. The discovery of life on Mars would easily double NASA's budget for Martian research. And I love the bit about "the billion-dollar, flat-earth, cloistered realm ruled over by bottom-line managers" who are keeping this conspiracy going. Looks like the Ruskies haven't figured us out yet.

I live in Nevada, so forgive me if I seem ho-hum about it.

Also, if you look closely, you can see my house back by that mountain on the left. Looks like I need to repaint soon.

As the Russians say, "It need not be true to be the truth."

every decade, 500 tons of Martian material reaches Earth

50 tons per year. One ton per week. Would we notice?

Just in case anyone was wondering about the author, here is another example of his thought process:


    Open Letter from Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey to President Bush

    Mr. President, once again, the absurdity of your discourse moves me to write. Once again, you prove that you are ignorant, obtuse and stubbornly naive, or you do a very good job at pretending to be so (text missing)

    Once again, you make a claim which is neither accurate, nor pertinent, nor intelligent. To claim as you did in your Independence Day speech that the US armed forces played a significant role in solving many conflicts, including "the fall of an evil empire" (referring to the Soviet Union, a phrase coined during the vice-presidency of your father) proves that you are uneducated, unschooled, unlearned and unread.

    Since you so obviously have as much knowledge of history as you do of geography, allow me to elucidate: there was no military confrontation between the US armed forces and the Soviet Union. This conflict did not take place because as everyone now knows, war games showed repeatedly that the Soviet Union would have won.

    As everyone now knows, the US armed forces only ever go to battle when the enemy is too weak to fight back. As everyone now knows, the US armed forces only ever attack countries which have no weapons of mass destruction which the Soviet Union had, not as many as yourselves, but enough.

    I would ask you to explain exactly what you meant by "the fall of an evil empire". The Soviet Union was neither an empire nor did it fall. It transformed. It became the Russian Federation because its work was done, its goals achieved. The Soviet Union, Mr. President, transformed a backward, medieval, feudal and unjust society into one in which everyone enjoys by birthright an education and a chance to follow whatever career he or she chooses. The Soviet Union, Mr. President, was responsible for leaving each and every one of its citizens admirably prepared to compete for any job in any walk of life anywhere in the world with any other candidate.

    What in your enlightened opinion is an evil empire, Mr. President? Is it one which sends aircraft flying into buildings? Yes, I am referring to September 11th, but not the one in New York. You will remember that Salvador Allende was murdered by an aircraft flying into the presidential palace in Santiago, Chile...a plot hatched by the CIA.

    Is an evil empire one which targets journalists the way a US tank did in Baghdad, firing straight into the belly of a hotel? Is an evil empire one whose troops point their rifles in the faces of six-year-old boys and yell "Get ya f****** hands up, NOW!" Is an evil empire one which drops bombs on civilian housing?

    Is an evil empire one which invents lies about other countries having WMD and then launches one of the most savage attacks in history, murdering thousands of innocent civilians? Is an evil empire one which uses bullying and bribery, instead of discussion and diplomacy, in the lobby of the UN Security Council?

    Is an evil empire one which does not respect freedom of the press? Is an evil empire one which bombs the offices of Al Jazeera, on purpose, in Kabul and again in Baghdad, murdering a journalist?

    Of course, sending people to their deaths is nothing new for you Mr. President, as the citizens of Texas will no doubt remember. However, if you would kindly refrain from taking your murderous policies abroad and watch what you say, you would find that people begin to smile at your country, instead of sneering.


In summation, Mr. Bancroft-Hinchey is an immense twit.

Do YOUR OWN RESEARCH! You, too, can own a piece of the Frass Meteorite for only $2500 (payPal accepted).

Also -

"Frass Ranch Forks, Spoons, and Knives $100 each

Each of these items actually came from the Frass Ranch, the place where the Frass Meteorite landed. These items were actually at the Frass Ranch at the time the meteorite landed and thus have been in close proximity to the Frass Meteorite. Each comes with a signed certificate of authenticy (sic)."
