Conspiracy I: The Philadelphia Experiments

This "he said/she said" argument can be resolved with a few facts: >> "Though one must ask, what would be the motive to lie about such a thing if no financial benefit is involved, and, if anything, damages your reputation." In a signed confession delivered in person to APRO Headquarters in Tuscon, AZ, the summer of 1969, Carlos/Carl Allende/Allen writes: "All words, phrases, and sentences underlined on the following pages in brown ink are false. The below page and the top part of the following are the carzyist (sic) pack of lies I ever wrote. Object? To encourage ONR Research and to discourage Proffessor(sic) Morris K. Jessup from going further with investigations possibly leading to actual research. Then I feared invisibility and force-field research; I don't now." This, of course, exposes the very root of the conspiracy as a simple lie. >> "Why did the entire rest of the crew involved receive discharges from the Navy for being medically unfit?" The interesting thing about this claim is that no site that makes it can provide verification for these discharges... >> "Why were the families of several crewmembers being told that their relative sailors died that night?" This claim is repeated on conspiracy sites in some form of "If the ship had simply remained safe and secure in the harbor as the Navy claimed, there is no apparent reason for the families of several crewmembers being told that their loved ones, the sailors from the crew, had died that night." However... no site actually has any sort of verification for this claim. In both cases, a prima facia claim is made. In all instances of prima facia claims, they cannot be accepted without corroboration. ********************************************************************** Some quotes from still-living members of the USS Eldridge on 26 March, 1999: Ed Wise: "I think it's somebody's pipe dream" Ted Davis: "It never happened" Bill Van Allen: "I have not the slightest idea how these stories got started" Ray Perrino: "When people would ask me about it, I would play along with them and tell them I disappeared. After a while they realized I was pulling their legs" Mike Perlstien: "I tell them I know nothing about it. I've seen the movie, and it's a good movie, but there's no truth to it" (Philadelphia Inquirer) As you can see, the crew of the Eldridge considers the whole notion of the Philadelphia experiment to be false and in some cases, even humorously so. ********************************************* Furthermore, it can be conclusively demonstrated that Al Bielek has lied about several aspects of his past: 1) Ed Cameron never existed (http://www.bielek-debunked.com...). 2) He took some parts of his story from Burger & Simpson's book "Thin Air." (http://www.bielek-debunked.com...). 3) Neither "Ed" nor any Duncan Cameron served in the Navy during that time period (http://www.bielek-debunked.com...). 4) Larry James is never put his soul in Ed-Al's body (http://www.bielek-debunked.com...). Also, isn't it HIGHLY suspicious that Bielek's memory of the event only returned in 1988, after the movie concerning the Philadelphia Experiments came out in 1984 (http://www.imdb.com...)? In a report concerning the Philadelphia experiments found here (http://www.scientificexploration.org...), Bielek is described as: [according to himself] "...one of two sailors who fell through time from the 1940's to 1988... and alien technology was used by secret government agencies to erase [Ed Duncan] from his own time track and give him the body and background of Al Bielek." Right. Because people really fall through time and have alien technology used to transport them into another body. Law of parsimony states that Bielek is lying. *************************************************** Readers, as you can see, the debate is hardly a he-said / she-said sort of dialogue. It's more like He-said / Liars-say. The evidence for the case that nothing unusual happened is here, well presented. My opponent references sources that simply make unverified, sensationalist, and obviously false claims. You decide. NEGATED.
