The Problems of Building High-Tech From a Meteoroid Wreck

The contemporary picture of pre-history has been pieced together with total disregard for the effects impact phenomena had on our ancestors. Obviously the image of our past will be much different when this newly discovered influence is factored in. As already mentioned, it is becoming clear that…

The Tusk recommends the blog Crater Hunter: A Catastrophe of Comets as another stop to study strange claims and the science that supports them. I think it is authored by Dennis Cox(?), but regardless, the author is clearly a brave and dedicated soul — and the writing ain’t half bad.
The more I learn about “ ignimbrites,” to this blog as Carolina bays are to the Tusk, the…

When I worked in politics, we won a primary — and knew we would beforehand — when the opponent became, as was noted in the newspaper, “Shrill and Hysterical.” To us, that meant we were doing something right because the opponent was losing her grip as the evidence of the pending loss mounted.
We see much the same dynamic today in the email chatter of Leroy Ellenberger, a…

The excitement when this scientific paper was published in 2001 was old news to me, really. I had first heard from William Topping way back in 1998. He was interested in Carolina Bays. Terribly interested. So was another scientist he said, Dr. Richard Firestone. I hit the search on Alta Vista and lo and behold, Firestone is indeed a San Francisco nuclear scientist — for the government. That…

Tusk buddy Jonny McAneny kicked it off in the comment…

Tusk buddy Antonio Zamora tipped me off to the paper below revealing that a global loss of genetic males coincides exactly with the comet impact at ~12,882. Tony does an indispensable job surfacing literature highly relevant to the Younger Dryas Impact. I had missed the stunning 2015 gene paper.
Following the depth of the greatest climate crisis in human…

Reader Terry Egolf has left some interesting and well composed comments on the Tusk lately. As I say on my “About George” page, I am not a creationist and hardly a student of the good book. My church in Raleigh is an overwhelmingly social affair that I find spiritually satisfying nonetheless.
That said, the Tusk is a big tent and I welcome folks who try to weave the old tales with…
