Ed Dames on C2C===we're all gonna die!!

[vonmazur]

Well, I had to drive south for 45 minutes this AM for a movie shoot---(I supply props and other services to the guys filming in Alabama..) The only thing on at "O'dark thirty hours" was Art Bell and Ed Dames Live, no less!!

It was of course the usual gratuitous assertions followed by Artie gratuitously asserting that "Ed was right, the Jet Stream came down just like he said..." etc..

What got my attention, was the assertion that we are going to experience a "Proton Storm" and that the sun was going to hit us with a "Kill Shot"....I believe that this was supposed to happen in the 90's, but did not, so here we go again......Is there not a lot of space for the sun to eject mass, without hitting the Earth?, compared with all the spherical area around the Sun, what percentage is actually occupied by us here?? It seems that Uncle Ed is still selling this malarky, and of course, accepting money for training, so why does he bother, we're doomed, and if we survive, we have to eat earthworms and spirulina for 200 years...

There is a Turkish proverb, a story reported by a Russian Mystic that applies to this sort of teaching......"May God destroy him who pretends to know, but who knows not and tries to teach others..." (supposedly said by the Mullah Nasseredin.)

Ed has nearly a 100% error rate, and why they continue to put this sort of thing on the radio escapes my rational mentation....maybe there is some money to be made or some such mundane reason for his continued appearances.....IF he did not sell something, then I could understand why he might be invited to speak, but with the impending doom, I just do not get it....

Well, if you will listen to things like that what do you expect?

we're all gonna die!!

Again?

Listening to Dames is much like listening to Whitley Streiber. They leave that uneasy feeling in your stomach that they are fibbing through their teeth. However, I take exception to the 100% error rate for Dames. The odds say he will occaionally be right. Take that!!

I thought you were talking about string theorists there for a second .

You're right about Dames' motivation, the revenues from teaching remote viewing, etc. But to say that the chances of massive solar flares hitting Earth are so small ... are you saying that we don't have anything to worry about, I hope?

I'm reminded of the old saying about a stopped clock being right twice a day . . . that doesn't mean it's reliable.

err, that was a stab at humor, in my opinion he may be anything but reliable . . .

Yup.

Of boredom.

Sadly, technology is rendering this fine concept obsolete; it's only true for a clock with hands or a mechanical method of changing the numbers. Broken electronic clocks tend to have blank displays, and thus are right zero times a day.

Listening to Dames is much like listening to Whitely Steiber. They leave that uneasy feeling in your stomach that they are fibbing through their teeth. However, I take exception to the 100% error rate for Dames. The odds say he will occaionally be right. Take that!!

Whitely, however, doesn't sound like he's pleasuring himself when he's speaking, whereas Ed Dames clearly does sound that way. (Brain bleach is now on aisle 7, I'll wait while you go pick some up.) Whitely also was portrayed by Christopher Walken in a movie, so he's got some coolness points.

Ed, however, is proof that P. T. Barnum underestimated how often a sucker was born. Dames once announced that he was shutting down his US operations and moving to a tropical island (many a man's dream) because "otherwise we're all going to die." Instead of folks realizing, "Holy fecal matter! This guy's just confessed to being a conman and is heading off with all kinds of money to be a beachcomber!" they immediately began screaming, "OMG! Ed, save us! Save us!"

[Chip]

There is nothing like Ed Dames.

[Maha Vailo]

Hold on. I thought the Van Allen belts/Earth's magnetic field would protect us from any "proton storm" that a huge solar flare would kick up.

The only people that would be killed by a solar flare of that magnitude would be people unfortunate enough to have a satellite land on their heads or a transformer blow up near them. (Not sure what other Earthbound situations might kill someone in a solar flare, however.)

[Egregious Philbin]

Ed said we are all about to die, real soon! for the last 10 years.

I love when he predicted with 100% accuracy about a nuke bomb that N. Korea would drop on S. Korea in 6 months.

Of course, it never happened, and Ed said that he was misunderstood.

Good old Ed, he is like the Sylvia Brown of remote viewing.

Stupidity reigns.

[Abelian Grape]

There is nothing like Ed Dames.

There is nothing you can name, that is anything like Ed Dames.

I nominate the leading CTers for heading up and staffing the Environmental Protection Agency.

After all, they're proven experts at recycling.

Not a good idea.
Recycled goods are usually good for something new.
Under their responsibility they would recycle it again and again and again...

[vonmazur]

I agree, listening to Whitley and Ed, one gets the impression that they are making it up extemporaneously....In this last show, Ed would not answer a question about chemtrails, giving the excuse that it would compromise his supposed connections in the black ops world...Great, so remote viewing doesn't work, he has to resort to connections??? Not five minutes later, he was promoting RV as accurate...

we're all gonna die!!

At some point in the future, yes, but hopefully not for a while, and of old age.

[Daffy]

He predicted, with utmost confidence, that an asteroid would destroy one of the space shuttles in 2005.

I missed the deadline (no pun intended...) again.

Guess I'll just have to file next year.

Better check with Dames for updates--we might not be here in a year . . .

[Larry Jacks]

Ed said we are all about to die, real soon! for the last 10 years.

The statement has two parts and each is accurate.
1. We're all going to die! [someday]
2. Real soon! [in geologic terms, at least].

[Swift]

1. We're all going to die! [someday]

Not me, I plan to live forever. So far, the plan is going perfectly.

[Jason Thompson]

Is there not a lot of space for the sun to eject mass, without hitting the Earth?, compared with all the spherical area around the Sun, what percentage is actually occupied by us here??

Very very little.

If we assume a sphere with radius 1AU the surface area of the sphere is 4 x pi x r^2 = 2.83x10^17km^2

Earth is a small shere with a radius of ~6378km, so its cross section presented to the Sun is pi x 6378^2 = 1.28x10^8km^2

1.28x10^8 / 2.83x10^17 = 4.52x10^-10, or about 0.0000000452% of the area of the 1AU radius sphere.

CMEs are quite a bit wider than that, so our chances of getting hit are higher since they don't have to be aimed directly at us, but we are still a very very small target.

In the case of driving a car at O'dark thirty, boredom might just be lethal if one is tired enough. In fact, yawning is a symptom of your impending doom.

[QUOTE=vonmazur;1247589]

Well, actually we are all going to die....just not in the manner the theatricals think. My favorite expression for munchkins in class is..(author anon?)...ain't nobody getting off this planet alive!...because up to this point, as far as we know...nobody ever has. They all came back from their space journeys. To get off this place alive, would involve colonizing elsewhere, and passing away there. Somebody will eventually do that.
On a brighter, note....until then, be productive, live life to it's fullest, laugh till your belly hurts, dance under the stars, enjoy the company of friends, families, plant a garden, eat heartily, cross a few things off your to do list.....catch a falling star. pete
