Exopaedia

{{ufology}}
'''Exopaedia''' is a blog/[[wiki]], owned by Manuel Lamiroy,<ref name=about/> that seeks to demonstrate that [[alien]] life exists near [[Earth]] and that aliens have visited Earth multiple times. Unsurprisingly, they're quite shoddy about citing sources, and when they do give their sources, it tends to be other [[woo]] peddlers. 

The site started in 2007 and claims to be the successor to HyperBase (so called because it was a data''base'' that used ''hyper''links), a similar venture by "regression therapists" (read: [[confabulation]] woo peddlers) created back in 1994. In fact, a lot of their articles are direct copies of HyperBase entries, due to be revised in sometime-never. Initially, it was open-edit like [[Wikipedia]], but after problems with [[porn]] spammers, it was closed off.<ref name=about>''[https://www.exopaedia.org/about.htm About the Exopaedia]''. (n.d.). Exopaedia.</ref> Now, at least in theory, anyone is welcome to contribute, but they need to contact Exopaedia first.<ref>''[https://www.exopaedia.org/contribute.htm Get Involved]''. (n.d.). Exopaedia.</ref> 

==Claims==
Their page on [[Richard C. Hoagland]] completely buys into all his claims, including being the first to propose the idea that life could exist on [[Jupiter]]'s moon Europa, and throws shade of its own at [[NASA]] for supposedly neglecting to credit him as such.<ref>''[https://www.exopaedia.org/Hoagland%2C+Richard Hoagland, Richard]''. (n.d.) Exopaedia.</ref>  

They also believe that [[matter]] is really just [[energy]] that's vibrating at certain frequency, a claim they're parroting from a woo book called ''The Prism of Lyra''.<ref>''[https://www.exopaedia.org/Frequency Frequency]''. (n.d.). Exopaedia.</ref>

===Earth and Humanity===
{{todo|Expand, because they have quite a mythology on this}}
Exopaedia believes that humanity did not originate on Earth, claiming that humans originated from many waves of alien migration from {{wpl|Lyra}}, {{wpl|Vega}}, and various other star systems.<ref>''[https://www.exopaedia.org/Humanoid+galactic+history Humanoid galactic history]''. (n.d.) Exopaedia.</ref>

===MKULTRA===
While their claims that [[MKULTRA]] was proceeded by two operations called Project Artichoke and Project Bluebird really are true,<ref name="church-book1">Church Committee. (1976, April 26). [https://www.aarclibrary.org/publib/contents/church/contents_church_reports_book1.htm Book I: Foreign and Military Intelligence].</ref>{{rp|387-389}} they also make the silly claim that the MK in [[MKULTRA]] totally stands for "Mind Kontrol".<ref>''[https://www.exopaedia.org/MkUltra+Project MkUltra Project]''. (n.d.). Exopaedia.</ref> This is patently false: MK is just the designation for projects run by the [[CIA]]'s Office of Technical Services Division,<ref>Peter Grosse, Gentleman Spy (1994), p. 595.</ref><ref>John Marks, The Search for the Manchurian Candidate (1979), p. 57.</ref> which is now known as the {{wpl|Office of Technical Services}}.<ref>''[https://www.maryferrell.org/php/cryptdb.php?bigram=MK CIA Cryptonyms: MK]''. (n.d.) Mary Ferrell Foundation.</ref> Furthermore, not every MK project was about [[mind control]]. For example, in {{wpl|MKNAOMI}}, the CIA attempted to develop [[Weapons of mass destruction#Biological weapons|biological weapons]] for sabotage and assassination and created a dart gun specifically for incapacitating guard dogs.<ref name="church-book1"></ref>{{rp|388-389}}

They also believe in the [[Project Monarch]] conspiracy theory.<ref>''[https://www.exopaedia.org/Monarch+Project Monarch Project]''. (n.d.). Exopaedia.</ref>
