02/05/2003 Entry: "James Randi and crew take on the Planet X scam"

From James Randi's site at http://www.randi.org/jr/121302.html it appears he is going to be enlisting the help of astronomer Phil Plait and others to deal with ZetaTalk and the Planet X Scam.

Reader Temple Cave reminds me:

"Randi, I'm sure you've heard of Nancy Lieder: the person who claims that Planet X is supposed collide with Earth, killing 90% of human life, in May of 2003. She also claims that the government is covering up the existence of this "brown dwarf," fearing public pandemonium if the existence of the rogue planet is revealed. Never mind that it should be brighter than Jupiter in the night sky, based upon its purported size and position, as it approaches us; apparently every scientist and amateur astronomer with access to a set of sky charts is in on the conspiracy, too, given the fact that it should be quite visible to the unaided eye — at night, of course.

"In any case, she and one of her minions have released photos of the planet, which provide unequivocal proof of its existence and movement towards us. I thought you might want to take a look at these incredible photos, which were released on December 4th. Just follow the link http://www.zetatalk.com/teams/rogue/nancy3.htm to see them.
I've already started digging in. I hope I can dig deep enough to be one of those ten percent left alive. BTW, the ten percent figure was apparently revealed to Nancy from a group of deep space aliens called Zetans, who channel through her to provide useful information, such as our impending destruction — sort of an Alien News Network.

"With the end-of-life-as-we-know-it approaching quickly, I can't for the life of me figure out why Nancy continues to make public appearances and sell her books and videos on her website. Personally, I'd be swapping those books and tapes for dried goods and a back-hoe.

"One quick question: if her predictions turn out to be true, will she qualify to win the $1,000,000.00 prize?"

I just can't resist pointing out the 9-digit accuracy of Mr. Temple's question.....! Didn't we just discuss this matter....?

This entire Planet X thing will be the subject of much debate and revelation at The Amazing Meeting in 50 days! Phil Plait and Jack Horkheimer will have much to say about all that, I assure you!
