Japan lab weighing retraction of stem cell paper

Benjamin Fulford is well known to be ... a troubled personage.
(AKA Canadian Journalist once based in Tokyo)

[kurogane]

Some say troubled, others say prescient, incisive, even perspicacious. Many of the people that say that also share his talent for seeing patterns that aren't there and interviewing people they have never met.

I like to call him a batshit whackjob, but that's only because a couple of drinking buddies are big fans of the White Dragon Society. It's an ancient and secret society, you know. Which isn't very secret now that it's on the internet and publicly acknowledging its protection of Herr Fulford. Who knows a lot of secrets, some of which don't even exist yet.

Sounds like he's either a super hermit or he is just paranoid about someone beating him to the punch if he follows convention.

or he invented Bitcoin

Is that like Winnetou's Croation Apaches?

Wel, no, because that was fiction, and this is REAL:

Benjamin Fulford, 10-18-11…”Rothschild family offers White Dragon Society $25 trillion to ‘go away'”

https://kauilapele.wordpress.com/2011/1 ... o-go-away/

I can sort of see why Internet intellectuals get such wood for this guy: it's so simplistic and so fantastic it simply must be true. I might just get a Wagyl on for Benji Boy. In a way he's more fun than "C&J%" because he actually used to have a career and a life, before the meds ran out............and ever since then it's been a straight economy class express ride to Loony Land. His videos with the White Dragons can be a bit of good fun, and I think a few of them actually include that wonky eyed Geino gooby Terry (used to work with Beat Takeshi???), but be warned: there are things that once seen cannot be unseen.

british "sexist" scientist to flee to okinawa

Sir Tim Hunt, the Nobel Prize-winning scientist forced to resign amid sexism allegations, is reportedly leaving the UK to move to Japan.

He had to quit his honorary professorship at University College London earlier this year following a storm of criticism over his so-called "trouble with girls" speech.

In light-hearted comments meant as a joke, the 72-year-old father of two suggested women cry when criticised and should have separate laboratories.

Sir Tim told the Telegraph he had been "hung out to dry" and was forced to resign, despite an internal inquiry noting the self-deprecating tone in which he delivered the speech.

Now it has emerged that he and his wife, Mary Collins, are planning to leave their home in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, and move to Japan as they hope to put the row behind them.

Professor Collins is leaving her own professorship at UCL to start a five-year job at a Japanese university.

he joined "charisma gaijin circle" as well

Hehehe. To be fair to Sir Timmy he's not really eligible for Charisma status, but I am sure he will be getting his retirement paid for in full, tax free all expenses paid. Good for them. His joking schtick was ill advised, but he was railroaded.

The questionable professional claims made by Mrs St Louis include that she regularly writes for national newspapers such as the Daily Mail, the Sunday Times and the Independent.
Yet digital archives for these papers stretching back 20 years contain no bylined articles by Mrs St Louis.
Further claims she writes for the Guardian appeared to be limited to two articles – one appearing only after the Sir Tim Hunt affair.
Meanwhile an online CV posted by Mrs St Louis said she had an ‘upper second’ BSc (Hons) in applied biology – although it was not clear where this was awarded.

[kurogane]

Oh, it was a complete mess, to be sure. Astounding she has kept her job, but sadly, not at all surprising. If she would just get herself in a wheelchair or at least claim transability she'd be set for life: an ugly, angry, lying woman of colour forced by the oppressive patriarchy to lie about her qualifications in order to get positions she for which she isn't qualified.

I get he's a physics geek, but having read the transcript :thumbsdown: .............not that it deserved that response after it became clear it was just bad comedy. It sounds like there is something rotten in the faculty boards at UCL. I had the impression he was well liked but perhaps not? And this idea that the first outraged impression frames the subsequent discussoin is goofy. It's as though angry cat ladies admit they can't argue toe to toe so they use bogus claims of being silenced to silenece any objections. I enjoy baiting them on the Interwebz but there needs to be a serious cull in proper public forums: stupid people don't matter and shouldn't be encouraged to think they do.

The least she could try is to find a job with the Japan Times...

Perhaps the biggest shock here is that's a woman

Oook.

[Russell]

I have experienced that type of black woman in the U.K. and the Netherlands who are very much into destroying white males. They must have a load of negative experiences with them, I guess, to make them so frustrated.

Radioactive and fizzles out in an instant....Japanium can only be trumped by Tepconium.
