Well at least Scott "Wordsmith" Wolter has his new blog post out to laugh at.

" Although I'm convinced we proved the Phoenicians likely did not travel to the Wyoming/Colorado area to mine copper,"

Perhaps Scott is considering a third act as a debunker. Actually, that might not be a bad move for him. I can just imagine his first new show in said vein...

"Everything I told you... was wrong."

Perhaps you should try out COZI TV. They show reruns of the Rockford Files and Murder, She Wrote!!! They even show the Six Million Dollar Man! Check out where Ancient Aliens stole inspiration for their Bigfoot material. Check your "TV Guide".

This station is perfect for Cranky, Old, Zionist, Imbeciles.

Remember it's been established in the Jasonverse that if you're anti-Zionist you're anti-semitic.

Did not watch the streaming version, so watched some of the show last night. About 20 minutes was about all I could take, curious as to how Jason beats himself up watching all this pseudobunk, Anyway, I did make it to the point to where Scottie says that he can not date the stone because someone has reworked the engraving, or something similar to that. So, he just kicked himself in the ass over the KRS because it has been reported that the stone has been re-etched and cleaned, which everyone pretty much knows.. Without his precious KRS, his whole pathetic worldview cascades in on itself. Would be funny to stitch together a video of him making those comments pointing at the KRS.

Scott going all Atlantis on us:

" I think there was a high culture that existed going back 10,000 years and more. Some might call them the Atlantians and I suspect there was larger communication among people world wide."

What's next, Roger Spurr and stone giants ?

In Wolter's view long ago high civilization people either said "Let's sail east and find someone to tell about our copper" or "Let's sail west, I suspect there's copper there." Strangely enough no one from South America sailed north ISO copper. They were probably happy with their gold.

Jim

Oops, I guess Roger Spurr will have to wait.

Wolter is going after a cryptid bigfoot, the Honey Island Swamp monster.

Hahahaha

"A legend tells of a train wreck in the area in the early 20th century. According to the legend, a traveling circus was on the train, and from it a group of chimpanzees escaped and interbred with the local alligator population."

Maybe he is trying to do a little crossover with Hancock's current ancient global civilization boogey train? Or has Wolter worked this angle before. Hard to keep track when all the crazy just kind of blends together.

Kent

Because everyone in history, especially the ones for which there is no evidence was a Templar Freemason it all fits together which you would see if you were a brother Mason or had Native American friends who shared the secret teachings with you. "Stay tuned, the best is yet to come."

But I agree it looks like he's poaching on Hancock's patch. With all of history to make stuff up about there's plenty of territory. Remember there were two Shrouds of Turin and the Templars had telescopes which they got from Asians who also had telescopes. Because the roof of a building in Nepal counts as an observatory. Which of course means the ground counts as an observatory. "You could call them Atlantians." I could, but WHY Scott?

Jim

6/26/2019 05:28:48 pm

He has previously claimed something similar.
Not that long ago Wolter said that his nameless native elders told him that for thousands of years tribal elders would jump on ships to attend world wide summits of indigenous leaders.
Of course "Believes Anything" bit hook, line and sinker.

Doc Rock

6/26/2019 05:38:54 pm

I'm confused as to whether it would have been proto-Templar Phoenicians collecting the gold or maybe the proto-Templars in Egypt heard about North America from the regular old Phoenicians who were bringing the gold from over there? That's where they got the idea of a good spot to hide baby Jesus? Or do the Templars go all the way back to Atlantis?

I thought that permitting myself to be overserved during an early and extended Happy Hour would make some of this stuff sound at least a bit less crazy. It doesn't.

Kent

6/26/2019 06:21:46 pm

Has there been any mention of Phoenician gold mining in the New World? I thought it was all copper.

January 3, 2017
"Personally, I think there was a world wide exchange of knowledge and information prior to the Younger-Dryas period that experienced a massive reduction in the high culture of humans that existed beforehand. I know Graham Hancock personally, and recently discussed his latest book with he and Robert Schoch. Robert has a different theory about what caused the massive population reduction around the planet, but the two are friends and it was refreshing to see two intelligent individuals with competing ideas present their ideas without attacking the other. this is how it's supposed to be.

I've also heard that indigenous people meeting regularly for thousands of years on a different continent each time there was a world council meeting. I asked one of these elder (they still hold meetings to this day) how they got to the meetings in ancient times and he said, "By boat."

I can hear the debunkers now..."

"recently discussed his latest book with he and Robert Schoch" "he" This is like the guy in The Godfather who insisted "I'm smaht!"

Maybe we can become friends and create a refreshing relationship of two intelligent individuals with competing ideas who present their ideas without attacking the other. Isn’t that how it's supposed to be?

Doc Rock

6/26/2019 07:15:21 pm

Mea Culpa. I meant copper not gold. Got my wires crossed after a couple Tullamore Dews while wading thru some nonsense about buried hoards of gold discussed by the Ancient Lost Treasures webpage brain trust.

Hi Doc -

"I thought that permitting myself to be overserved during an early and extended Happy Hour would make some of this stuff sound at least a bit less crazy. It doesn't."

So much "negativity" and so "judgmental
151 Moon sine does not work either.

The only way to deal with this shit is to flunk anyone who does not recant immediately. Flunk them hard. You can also extend your vocabulary to include the term "absolute shit".

Interesting Archyfantasies article on Wolter, Hancock et al, dealing with racism.

Has hell frozen over ?
I just watched episode 6, "The Spy Who Saved America"

It's weird for AU, no pseudo, no outlandish claims, it is actually kind of interesting.
Wolter of course is his usual self, claiming credit for other peoples research. All in all, the most watchable episode of AU ever.

Doc Rock

6/26/2019 07:38:36 pm

I still think that a condition of getting his show picked up again was for Wolters to rein in the crazy to some degree. But then again given his desire to revive the uber-stupid copper mining issue he can only rein things in so far.

Jim

6/26/2019 08:02:23 pm

It's about George Washington's spy ring, hard to believe he didn't toss in some founding father Templar nonsense.
Episode 6 and not a Templar to be seen.
We have the swamp creature upcoming and the bombing in Chicago, that's not leaving much time for Templar content,,,,,, of course they did film in the Wemyss caves, so maybe they gave Wolter one episode to bust loose with Templars and Prince Henry Sinclair.

Doc Rock

6/26/2019 08:22:08 pm

Yeah, that was the first thought that crossed my mind when they started talking about founding fathers and spies and codes. Figured that he would use that as an excuse to go balls deep into Templar lunacy. They have got to have him on a reasonably short leash.

But the crazy core remains.

Kent

Things are jumping in Mr. Wolter's Comments section. Nincompoops getting their asses handed to them left and right.

"As a person who has operated a materials forensic laboratory for 30 years..."

Which would render any such findings from said laboratory highly suspect.

Kent

"As a person who has run tests on concrete for 30 years...

I AM NOT TO BE CONTRADICTED!!!"

Still he's getting and publishing a lot of pushback this time around. It's funny because he's not intellectually equipped to handle it and ties himself in knots. It's fun watching the actual workings of stupidity. He shows some restraint though, he doesn't post Anthony's writings about other men's penises.

Joe Scales

6/29/2019 12:05:21 pm

It's the arrogance of an imbecilic poseur. He thinks he's "winning". But his blog is so much more interesting than his current season of tripe. You get the real Wolter in his blog. The mendacious moron we know him truly to be. And the best part about it is that he has absolutely no idea of the real and lasting impressions he's leaving in this regard.

Jim

6/29/2019 01:23:21 pm

Looks like "Fred" has been given the boot. When he tries to publish now, the post just disappears, doesn't even go to Wolters approval.
Oh well, Fred says it was fun while it lasted.
R.I.P. Fred, and reincarnate as someone else soon.

Kent

If you hear from Fred again, please give him a warm round of golf applause from me.

I suppose what was blocked might have been, "Oh, you meant the discredited diffusionist…"

Jim

6/29/2019 12:41:04 am

Jebus !!!!

Wolter:

"Your grandiose statements about the lack of knowledge during the Bronze Age is based solely on what you believe. I thought the Phoenicia was a pretty impressive sailing vessel."

Ya, because a obsolete sailing vessel with only one square sail that could only go in the direction that the wind blows is equal to a Spanish galleon with sometimes 12+ sails that was capable of making headway to any point of the compass.

Is he studying the rocks, or are the rocks studying him ?
Who is smarter ?

Kent

6/29/2019 02:42:14 pm

As you may know, a Bachelor's degree in geology is basically equivalent to graduating from the Merchant Marine Academy. The reason the two seem different can be traced back to the 18th century struggle between Freemasonry and certain factions of The Grange. Stay tuned! The best is yet to come.

Jim

6/29/2019 11:10:35 am

Wolter refers "Fred " to one of his blogposts:

https://scottwolteranswers.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-smithsonian-responds-to-america.html

Which says:

"My geological work on the Bat Creek Stone was professionally peer-reviewed in accordance with ASTM and AASHTO standards."

The AASHTO being the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials standards.

When Fred calls Wolter on this, Wolter plays dumb and responds with this:

"What the Hell is the “American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials standards”, and what do they have to do with the Bat Creek Stone?"

Honest Scott we call him.

Joe Scales

Oh, that blog is the gift that keeps on giving. Hate to rattle a lunatic's cage by quoting our resident imbecile... but with this gem from Anthony, Wolter declares him the victor over "liar and fraud" Val:

"The Gulfstream is visible from space. I have a hard time believing, no one ever noticed it before modern navigation."

Kent

6/30/2019 03:00:01 pm

SMFH.

I think someone that batshit crazy is ipso facto a danger to self and others.

Those in the know, know. 'Nuff said. Vir Magnificus, we hardly knew ye!

Interesting that Wolter considers following the advice of a mentor and one's own moral compass as proof of being "a liar and a fraud".

Fuck all Freemasons in the butt with Anthony Warren's dongle, courtesy of Scott Wolter. I would never join a club that would have Wolter as a member.

I try to stay away from his blog as much as possible because the stupidity burns like fire. But it is doable after the 6th Captain-n-Coke. I have noticed that he does not seem to get as much fanboy traffic as in the past. At times it seems like there is a regular core of about 5 critics, and then 2 or 3 defenders firing off short "attaboy Scott" type comments. I wonder how many of those latter posts come from his wife? Just doesn't seem like as many people have his back as a few years ago and their comments are brief. But then again I'm just not sure how one could be particularly supportive of his epically moronic comments about the copper trade.

Kent

6/30/2019 02:48:06 pm

I was putting off looking at Wolter's blaugh but based on your post, just dipped into it. It really is Batshit Crazy Central, As a wise man once said, Scott Wolter is an idiot.

Val had a good run but Wolter had the inevitable bitch seizure. Kinda like the Gestapo: "Show me your papers!"

"Where are you in your Masonic journey?"
"Where are you in your cosplay journey?"

Same same.

We can only hope that like Gandalf Val will be sent back to carry on his task. Sumer is icumen in!

Doc Rock

6/30/2019 04:19:02 pm

It has been rare that I have seen someone get their ass handed to them so badly as Wolter and his copper trade crap on the current discussion and in other one's on his blog. Yet, he seems to think that he is in the catbird seat in the discussion. He is either flagrantly whoring himself as a buffoon to generate any sort of buzz for his show with the mouth breathing conspiracy crowd or the guy is an honest to god cretin and utterly lacking in self-awareness. Either way he is an astonishing example of the turd floating to the top and I guess merits some congratualtions for Forrest Gumping his way up to drawing a nice pay-check and getting a lot of free travel.

It is not going to surprise me if some day a Maritime Archaeologist simply snaps and ends up busting a Michelob Ultra bottle over Wolter's head when their paths cross at some archaeological site.

Kent

Smart money is on "honest to god cretin". Stupidity is not new territory for Scott.
