FIGHT THE STUPIDS! FRAUD REVEALED IN WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE

Vatic Note:  We did a blog on here about an article we got from Veterans today and it was spot on.  Check this out.... it talks about Israel basically taking control of information on the site if they do not agree with it or it makes Israel look bad or if its something they do not want us to know.   

This below supports that happening and he does an excellent job of exposing what happens. I had no idea it was this bad, but apparently this is his experience with them.  

Since Israel is somehow tied into this interverntionist theory and was instrumental in helping to set up  the secret societies in the Countries they control with funding through foundations and infiltration on boards of directors and hiring professers, it makes much sense that he is telling us the truth.  Its worth the read if you rely on Wikipedia for your information and credibility. 

As we say often, this is not a "fast food info site".  Its deeper than that and takes time and commitment to sit and read what we are offering.  If you take the time, then you will be rewarded with info you can get seldom elsewhere or at least no popular headlines of attention grabbing quality.  

Just Truth and research.  I added this because its the best example of actual testimony by someone it happened to.  Lord Pye has gone through a lot to search for truth about his skull, the star child, and has paid  a dear price for pursuing it.  But its all panned out to be confirmed through his persistance and courage in the face of ridicule from his detractors.  This is worth the read.

FRAUD REVEALED IN WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE ABOUT LLOYD PYE

Introduction

Wikipedia is organized and run like an asylum where the inmates are in charge, so to highlight its silliness I refer to it as Wackypedia. The Wacky inmates have overseen the creation of numerous high-profile errors, including false reports of the deaths of the comedian Sinbad (and the Sailor, too, for all I know) , Miley Cyrus, and Sen. Ted Kenedy, among many others, not to mention high-profile trashing of various other celebrities by people with axes to grind against them.

Because Wackypedia entries can be written by anyone, it is the responsibility of Wacky editors and administrators to make certain that everyone plays fair in the sandbox. But what if one of the editors or admins turns out to be the bully in the box? That, in fact, is what happens all too often because of the enormous size of "the people's encyclopedia." Those who rise to positions of influence tend to be passionate extremists of every political, philosophical, and scientific stripe, and those extremists rule their portion of the Wacky empire with feudal autocracy.

One Wacky administrator can completely control the text on any page. Let's say, for example, that a particularly insecure and self-righteous admin thinks Lloyd Pye and the Starchild Skull are detriments to society. Let's say the admin decides to create pages for both that are filled with inaccuracy and innuendo that makes them both seem like frauds and charlatans. Now, let's further assume that this particular admin links those two pages to his personal computer, so that when anyone attempts to change anything on either page, that admin will be notified by a message and with the stroke of a computer key the altered page will go right back to the way it suits the admin's bias.

The above scenario is, in fact, the exact situation with my own page and with the Starchild Skull page. Unfortunately, we can do nothing to alter his power over our fate on Wackypedia because he is fully supported by the highest echelons of power within the Wacky empire. I know because I've talked to one of them, and he assured me over the phone that I am the last person in the world he would trust to tell the truth about myself on a Wackypedia page. He felt much more comfortable accepting the absurd distortions of fact the admin "allows" onto my page and the Starchild's page.

If you wonder why more and more teachers refuse to let students use Wackypedia as a reference, this is at least one portion of the answer. It is the view from my portion of the sandbox, but I know I'm not alone. Virtually every alternative researcher of whom I'm aware has similar stories of abuse at the hands of Wacky administrators and editors. They are a corrupt, rotten-to-the-core system. Period.

Lloyd Pye's Corrections Of Wikipedia's Article

[My comments will be in this black text, enclosed in brackets. What I say is, naturally, the truth. I won’t bother with footnotes because what I write here can be found in various articles I’ve written for a wide range of alternative journals like “Nexus Magazine” and “UFO Magazine,” or that have appeared in a wide variety of forums on the internet, or in books that I’ve written. Everything I post here is true and valid, and can be verified and defended if necessary.]

Please help improve this article by adding reliable references. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (November 2009)
 [Wackypedia only acknowledges their own sources—the journals of mainstream science. If material is offered from any “unapproved” journal or book or ebook—anything opposing their locked-in, rigid viewpoint—they consider it invalid for inclusion. Thus, the Wacky editors allow only what they want to be posted, which is often at wild variance from the truth, as is the case with my page here and pages of many other alternative researchers around the world.] 
Lloyd Pye (1946-) is an American author who is famous for advocating an ancient astronaut proposal for the origin of human life by deliberate intervention by extraterrestrial life.
[I am not famous. To a certain extent in the world of alternative knowledge I am well known for my support of the Intervention Theory of the origins of life on Earth, and especially of human origins, which did involve ancient astronauts. But I am equally well-known, if not more so, for my work with the Starchild Skull, which all indications suggest is the relic skull of a human-alien hybrid.]
He is the author of four books, including Everything You Know Is Wrong - Book One: Human Origins. 
[One of the other three print books is The Starchild Skull: Genetic Enigma or Human-Alien Hybrid? published in 2007. Using the material in that book, in 2009 I produced an eBook, Starchild Skull Essentials, which I regularly update with the latest genetic findings. The current update occurred in mid-2010.]
He also gives lectures and has made television appearances in support of his ideas on The Learning Channel, National Geographic Channel, Extra, Animal Planet, and The Richard and Judy Show in the United Kingdom.
[This is an old list that should also include my most recent TV appearances, twice on the History Channel, on UFO Hunters in 2009 and on MonsterQuest in 2010.]
Pye's theories contradict the generally accepted scientific theory that humans evolved from earlier organisms, and as such, his theories have been criticized for being at odds with the theories currently accepted by the mainstream scientific community.
[This addresses the central core of my work, which is illustrating that abundant solid evidence exists to prove the mainstream scientific community is as wrong as it can possibly be about how humans have come to be on Earth. It also points out that a stated objective of Wackypedia is to vigorously support whatever is considered the mainstream consensus at any given time. So their utmost priority is not seeking truth but supporting the ossified ideology of mainstream science.]  

Biography

Pye was born in Houma, Louisiana. He studied psychology at Tulane University in New Orleans, before joining the U.S. Army as a military intelligence specialist.
[They pointedly fail to mention that not only did I study psychology at Tulane, I graduated in 1968 with a B.S. degree in psychology. And my work for the Army was conducting background investigations in north Georgia for anyone who needed a “Secret” clearance or higher. I had a routine tour of stateside duty.]
In addition to his other works, Pye has written two novels: A Darker Shade of Red, based on his college football career at Tulane; and Mismatch, a high-tech thriller about "phone phreaking", computer hacking, and submarine warfare.
[This is true, but they fail to mention that both books are utterly riveting.    ;-)  ]

Claims and beliefs

In his non-fiction books, Pye focuses on cryptozoology, especially hominoid cryptids such as Bigfoot and Yeti.
[This is not true and never was. My early nonfiction work, books and magazine articles, all focused on questions about the origins of life on Earth, with a special focus on human origins. Hominoids (bigfoot, yeti, etc.) figure into human origins because they are living progeny of what mainstream science calls “prehumans,” but there is nothing human about them other than they walk on two legs.]
In his book Everything You Know Is Wrong he claims that these animals are Earth's only indigenous bipedal primates, and that early hominids such as Neanderthals and Australopithecines are not the only intermediates in human evolution.
[This is only half true. I do claim that hominoids have been a part of the flora and fauna of Earth for a minimum of 20 million years, basing that claim on the work of renowned anthropologist-turned-spinal-surgeon, Dr. Aaron Filler (see his already classic book, The Upright Ape: A New Origin of the Species, 2007. Also, what the Wackypedia administrator who wrote my page calls “early hominids” is simply another term for “prehumans,” which I do not consider intermediate species with any labels, from Australopithecines through any of the early Homos such as Habilis, Ergaster, Erectus, and Neanderthalensis. I say all are hominoids.]
From this premise, Pye claims that early hominids could not have been the ancestors of modern humans, denying the established scientific consensus supporting common descent.[1] 
[As stated earlier, this accusation represents the core of my work. I believe the “scientific consensus,” which Wackypedia vigorously supports as a matter of formal stated policy, is not just wrong, but absurdly, laughably wrong.]
Combining his ideas with those of ancient astronaut believer Zecharia Sitchin, he proposes that deliberate genetic manipulation of existing hominid populations by alien beings produced Cro-Magnon, or modern-day, man.
[While I have great respect for the work of Zecharia Sitchin, this is a key point where our opinions differ. I believe the existing hair-covered bipedal hominoid population genetically manipulated by the aliens was the Neanderthals, and the product of that manipulation was the first Cro-Magnons, the first true hominids. Sitchin believes Homo Erectus was used to create the Neanderthals, and then interbreeding between the aliens and Neanderthals produced the Cro-Magnons.]
 Pye, by means of accepting Sitchin's ideas, proposes that the first modern human peoples were the ancient Sumerians, whom Sitchin claims had knowledge of aspects of modern astronomy such as the existence of Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto.
[Neither Sitchin nor I propose that the first modern humans were the ancient Sumerians. Other advanced civilizations existed well before them and left many megalithic edifices all over the globe. Unfortunately, that single high culture, or variety of high cultures, was wiped out by a great flood (where the Bible got that idea) chronicled in Sumerian texts written on stone in cuneiform. Subsequently, the survivors gradually multiplied into the later culture that today we call the Sumerians. They have been accepted by mainstream historians as the first “great” civilized culture of antiquity because, literally out of nowhere, they developed over 100 “firsts” (such as the "first written language") that we attribute to a highly developed society.
Among the incredible array of things they knew but could not possibly have learned on their own was, indeed, an awareness of Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto as planets in our local solar system. This information, the Sumerians claimed, was given to them by the multiple “gods” who had created them in “a house of fashioning” (a genetics lab) many thousands of years prior to when they lived.]

The "Starchild Skull"

See also: Starchild Skull
In the late 1990s, Pye obtained a curiously shaped human child's skull from a couple in El Paso, Texas.
[“Curiously shaped” is putting it very mildly. It is unique among human-type skulls, to a degree not seen in any known case study of human deformity.]
The skull was reportedly found in a mine tunnel in northern Mexico,
[100 miles southwest of Chihuahua is technically in northwest Mexico.]
buried beside a skeleton of a morphologically typical human female adult lying exposed on the floor of the mine tunnel.
[The human female’s head was not entirely typical. Its rear showed the distinctive palm-sized area of flattening created by the practice of cradleboarding.]
The unusual skull has an enlarged though symmetrical cranium,
[Very loose terminology here. The skull is indeed unusual, but it is not enlarged all over. It is smaller than an average human cranium, the size of a small (5-foot-tall) adult, or a typical 12-year-old. Its parietal bones are distinctively enlarged, but nothing else is outsized. All of its parts, which vary strikingly from those of normal humans, are nonetheless extraordinarily symmetrical.]
and while it contains most of the complement of normal human bones, they are greatly distorted in shape, as for instance it is without an external occipital protuberance. 
[The Starchild Skull does have the usual set of human bones, but the bone itself has a biochemical signature completely unlike bone and more like tooth enamel. Also, to call them “greatly distorted in shape” is hyping it. They are different from normal human bones, yes, but not greatly so. It is better to say they have been reshaped and/or redesigned. And the lack of an external occipital protuberance (also known as “inion”) is highly significant. Every other primate species with a head attached to a neck has an inion. The Starchild has a dent where in every other primate skull there is a noticeable bump. Reach around to the center rear of the back of your own head and feel yours. The Starchild does not have one.]
Carbon 14 dating shows that the skull is 900 years old + or - 40 years.
[The human skull was C-14 dated in 1999, and the Starchild in 2004. To have such synchronicity in two different samples tested in different labs 5 years apart is considered by C-14 experts to be remarkable proof that they died together as described by the woman who claimed she found their skeletons around 1930.]
Pye proposes that the abnormal skull is the product of a human/alien crossbreeding program.
[Based on a DNA analysis by Trace Genetics in 2003, from that point I felt that the Starchild was a hybrid between a human mother and an alien father. Now, since a partial DNA analysis in early 2010, I don’t see how it can possibly be the result of a sexual encounter. From all I have been able to gather about it at this point, I think it will prove to be a product of genetic engineering 900 years ago.]
He refers to this being as a "Starchild" and the skull as the "Starchild Skull".
[Naming it “Starchild” was a mistake on my part because it raises the hackles of mainstream scientists who might have been willing to help analyze it if that didn’t mean being associated with something suggestive of UFOs and aliens. Those subjects are “third rails” within the scientific mainstream, the kind of thing that can kill a scientist’s career if they are ever caught taking such things seriously.]
Pye has subsequently arranged for funding and scientific testing in an attempt to demonstrate that the skull's genetic heritage is extraterrestrial.
[This is not true. I have been very clear since Day One that my intention was to demonstrate the truth about the Starchild Skull, whatever that truth might be. In the beginning, upon seeing it and holding it, I was convinced it had to be some kind of exotic deformity. The difference between me and most of the scientists I have approached with it, or who have heard about it, is that I have been willing to put my initial belief to test after test. Each of those produced solid evidence that it was not any kind of known deformity, so it had to be something else.]
Several tests have been performed on the skull at different labs, most funded by Pye and his supporters. Tests have included CAT scans, X-rays, radiocarbon dating by carbon 14, bone scans, scanning electron microscope analysis, mitochondrial DNA analysis, and nuclear DNA recovery.


[That last one, “nuclear DNA recovery,” lies at the heart of the problem that the Starchild Skull represents to mainstream science. The suggestion here is that its nuclear DNA has been recovered. This was not true until early 2010, well after this erroneous Wackypedia statement was posted.]
In 1999, a chromosomal analysis of the skull was attempted by the BOLD Laboratory in Vancouver. This analysis showed that the skull's nuclear DNA responded slightly to an amelogenin primer. At only 200 picograms of DNA recovered, it was well under the usual minimum recovery value of 1000 picograms needed to make a reliable determination. However, the BOLD lab felt sufficient confidence in their result to announce that the Starchild was a fully human male child.
[Here is where the rubber meets the road with the Starchild Project and mainstream science. The BOLD lab was located at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. It was a forensic DNA lab for teaching students how to use genetic recovery techniques. It was not equipped to handle “ancient” DNA (older than 50 years), and certainly not 900 years old like the Starchild. However, in 1999 none of the half-dozen ancient DNA labs in the world would touch the Starchild, so we gambled that BOLD might possibly tell us if our skull’s nuclear DNA was available for a later full recovery, or if it was hopelessly degraded.
The first two attempts at recovery were botched by the students who performed the lab’s routine procedures. They contaminated each sample, thus rendering the large bone sample that were taken for each test useless. On the third attempt they were desperate to produce a result and, lo and behold, they did! It was a woefully inadequate 200 picogram finding (the equipment at that time required a  1,000 picogram minimum sample in order to calculate an accurate result) that nobody should have accepted as valid. Nonetheless, mainstream science forcefully fell in behind the BOLD result, as they still do as of this writing, insisting that the BOLD result was the be-all, end-all of DNA testing on the Starchild Skull, and that everything else relative to later DNA analysis should be disregarded. ]
Because Pye was unconvinced by the BOLD Lab analysis, he arranged for a more detailed analysis of mitochondrial DNA extracted from both the skull of the purported Starchild and the adult female skeleton found with it. The results of this analysis from Trace Genetics became available in 2003. Human mtDNA was extracted from both the skull of the purported Starchild and that of the adult female found nearby. Nuclear DNA was also extracted from the adult female in two PCR reactions.
[The above is true except for the last part. There was only one extraction of the nuclear DNA of the human, and it came quite easily on the first attempt, which showed that very little degradation had occurred in 900 years in a mine tunnel.]
The lab reported that both the Starchild Skull and adult female had mtDNA consistent with Native American origin, haplogroup C and haplogroup A, respectively, which also excluded a "mother-offspring relationship between the two individuals".[2] 
[This is poorly written and therefore confusing, but it is fundamentally true. The Starchild and the human female found with it were not mother and child, as many of us felt would eventually prove to be the case. This is how true science works. You just keep trying and making mistakes until your mistakes lead to answers.]
This demonstrates that the Starchild's mother was human, as mtDNA is passed to offspring maternally.
[Not only its mother, but her mother and her mother’s mother, etc., were human.]
Pye claims that the lack of nuclear DNA from the Starchild skull but not from the adult supports his hypothesis.[2][dead link]
[Again, this is very confusing. As stated above, the adult female’s nuclear DNA (nuDNA) was recovered quite easily on the first attempt, showing up bright and clear in the gel sheets, indicating minimal degradation during 900 years in a mine tunnel. However, the Starchild’s nuDNA could not be recovered in six attempts. Because by then it was known that the Starchild’s mtDNA had proved its mother was human, if the father had been human, too, then the human-only primers in use in 2003, and in 1999 for that matter, should have easily recovered it. That they did not do so was a powerful proof that while the Starchild’s mother was human, its father was non-human.
This was a breakthrough development that lit up a neon sign around the Starchild pointing to a partially “alien” genetic heritage. It did not provide the absolute proof that the recovery of its full genome could provide, but it clearly indicated what that recovery would indicate whenever we found a way to make it happen.] 
Carbon dating of the skull shows that the skull is likely to be around 900 years old. This is consistent with the remains' apparent Native American origin suggested by the DNA evidence.
[The carbon dating result is much more specific than the word “likely” suggests. And only the mtDNA suggests the Starchild is of “Native American origin.” The all-important nuDNA will clarify the most critical aspects of its genetic heritage.]

Criticism

Skeptics note that the skull of a person suffering from hydrocephalus is very similar to the Starchild skull.
 [Any skeptics who say hydrocephalics and the Starchild are comparable know nothing about either. A hydrocephalic suffers from water on or in the brain itself. It creates great pressure inside the head, which causes it to expand outward in all directions, though rarely with good symmetry. The Starchild Skull, though quite different from a normal human skull, has exceptional symmetry all over.
In addition, it has a crease along its rear sagittal suture between its two expanded parietal bones. Such a crease would not be in a hydrocephalic unless the suture was prematurely fused. A CAT-scan performed in 1999 clearly showed that none of the Starchild’s sutures were fused at the time of death. In addition, a dozen mainstream scientists were part of a study published in 2004 that concluded the Starchild could not have been a victim of hydrocephaly. Period. Finis.]   
Pye's ideas have been subject to criticism by the scientific skepticism movement, generally citing a lack of any compelling evidence for the grander claims, and the dubious status of the smaller.
[Yes, my ideas are a flagrant challenge to mainstream science dogma, so their skeptics have no choice but to try to diminish the caliber of my work. My grander claims are indeed bolstered by plenty of mainstream scientific data, which is easy to confirm in my books Everything You Know Is Wrong, and The Starchild Skull. Of course, no skeptic would ever waste time trying to verify what I’ve written to determine if I’ve provided sufficient scientific proof. This, in fact, is how I have made my reputation in the alternative community, by being a researcher who utilizes confirmed scientific data as much as possible in my work.]
 One example is the unusual skull mentioned above, which Pye proposes is the product of a human/alien crossbreeding program.
[This is indeed a fairly “grand claim,” which I back up with a printed book full of evidence, and an eBook with the latest DNA evidence to support the claim.]
Steven Novella of the New England Skeptical Society suggested in 1999 that the odd shape is caused by congenital hydrocephalus, a comparatively common affliction rarely noticed in developed countries due to its ease of treatment.
[We’ve already addressed the issue of hydrocephaly above, and also in more detail on the Starchild Project website. But I should add that the Steven Novella article was written late in 1999, shortly after the BOLD Lab of Canada had announced their finding of the Starchild Skull being a human male. To this day, skeptics and critics use the Novella article as their gospel of doubt when it comes to the Starchild, yet virtually nothing in it remains correct, and in fact was not correct when it was written, we just didn’t know enough then. He attacked us when we were only beginning to learn what we were dealing with, and his attack stands today as science’s main rebuttal to our current claims.]
Pye claims that 900 years ago, when the Starchild was born, congenital hydrocephalus would very likely have caused death long before its teeth had a chance to erupt and then be heavily worn by use.
[This is true. 900 years ago hydrocephaly would have been an early death sentence for any child born with it. Only the shunting techniques developed in recent times allows hydrocephalics to live beyond infancy. Also, and more to the point, had a baby been born with any number of deformities of the kinds skeptics and the Wacky editors try to assign to the Starchild, it would no doubt have been summarily done away with and the parents would have tried again. There was no room in primitive societies for deformed
