So back to alt community heroes. I just stumbled across another fun little diddly from one that we all know and love, who takes pride in being a leading standard bearer for putting out only meticulously researched information. See if you can guess who it is? ;)

I remember very early on, in 2006, when she wanted us to interview Brooks Agnew, who was hell-bent (as it were) to mount an expedition to the Arctic to find the hole in the ocean (or the hole in something!) that led to the Inner (Hollow) Earth.
NO, I said. I argued VERY strongly that we needed to be a gold standard of quality, accuracy, and dependability — NOT interesting sensationalism — because that was so much needed in an increasingly confusing world. That was always my own guiding light (which I still attempt always to steer by), though back then we did fall short of that a few times.
Kerry may have long forgotten about that important conversation 12 years ago.

Well, apparently this alt community hero's memory isn't so hot either, being that 2006 would have been right on the heels of him bailing on a contagious meme he had set loose, based on ZERO evidence.
This meme is still alive and well today. Now I'm not here to beat a dead horse, but this hero continues to thrust his proud chest out and preach about integrity and meticulous research, while conveniently either ignoring, or greatly minimizing, his own rich history to the contrary.
Serpo got busted as a fraud, pure sensationalism, from which he conveniently bailed straight into the saving arms of Kerry and Project Camelot. Same as he bailed when the "Charles" nonsense blew up in his face a few years later. Now it would be different if he would just come out and say "folks, I've totally blown it a couple times myself badly wanting something to be true, I've learned from my mistakes, and this is why I so much emphasize the vital importance of due diligence in research these days". (And then of course never do it again!)
But he won't do that, which is why I will continue to point out this ongoing pattern of inconsistencies with reality.
