Pseudoscience always bothers me, so I had to go back and examine this crapola closer. After an associate of mine referenced something from this show or some other (there seems to be a magnetic doomsday craze going now) centering around the year 2012. When we are going to get over this doomsday prediction thing is beyond me, but I hope it's soon. It's funny that they should call this a Remote Viewing(tm) Production, as that's certainly what they used to pull their research out of their ass.

The first thing I'd like to highlight is the qualifications of this so called "Horizon Project Team."

I can hardly blame Brent Miller for getting sucked into this despite his background at IBM. A cursory search for information about him was made difficult by the number of Brent Millers who are more famous than he. I can olny say that he is yet one more intelligent person who has been duped into taking stock in the ongoing doomsday silliness.

The next person on this team is Brooks Agnew. He recieved n associates degree in Electrical Engineering at a US Air Force academy before going on to Brigham Young University, which is operated by the Mormon church. BYU is accredited, though the state permits the kind of teaching and censorship that would befit the religious (possibly creationist and thus scientifically dubious) nature of such facilities. He then recieved a in Chemistry from Tennessee Tech, a Master's in statistics from Kennedy-Western, and a doctorate in physics from. . .somewhere. I've been unable to find out the source of his doctorate, but it might be Gaston College where he now teaches mathematics. My source for this information is a free energy wiki which can be found here: http://peswiki.com

A few interesinting notes straight from this wiki:

Mr. Agnew supposedly has "15 years of experience creating more than $500 million in process improvements for numerous industries (impossible to publicly verify)"

"Claims to have numerous patents. Only one patent is available to the public, which means all other patents if they exist are classified."

"Diplomas beyond B.S. are from extension courses taken at accelerated rates with his own research in new product development."

Even the free energy wiki questions his credability!

I am particularly concerned about Brooks' because of a few statements he made in the film. He claims that if the earth's magnetic poles shifted, the axis of the earth would shift. I have to guess that this physicist either doesn't understand or doesn't believe in angular momentum! Sure, the magnetic poles might shift for one reason or another. But the crust of the earth as well? Obviously Newton wasn't just wrong about the source of gravity (God). Maxwell and Gauss must've had their heads up their asses. Apparently magnetic fields can counteract millions of kilometer tons of intertia in a few weeks! Yes, the man said weeks! Can I get an amen?

Almost as bad, the program presents a stack of inane historical claims about technology. Yes, we have found chemical battery-type jars in ancient civilizations. Yes, ancient mathematicians were suprisingly accurate in their calculations. Yes, ancient people's were able to perform successful brain surgeries some of the time (for all the wrong reasons). However, going on to say that these particular advances might mean that technology must have been as good as our current predictive technology is absurd. Moreover, to say that because ancient peoples performed brain surgery means they knew what they were doing is sheer lunacy! We're talking about the simple sort of surgery where you drill a hole in someone's head, which might lead to a reduction in cranial pressure and solve some problems but let's be honest - it's not brain surgery in the sense we know it now. It was more likely to be deadly than curative, and hopefully was used as a last measure.

All this nonsense I suppose comes from Micheal Tsarion who self-published a book titled "Atlantis, Alien Visitation and Genetic Manipulation." He was interviewed by the Berkeley Psychic Institute. He's a 9/11 Truther. When the film said that they were using revolutionary new methods of research, they weren't kidding. This guy supposes that Atlanteans (Lemurians, whatever) colonized Ireland and then later migrated to become the egyptians. As much as I'd like to believe that I'm only once removed from a nonexistant civilization, he also makes references to "pre-noah's flood" periods where we were visited by aliens. Seriously guys, if you're gonna make shit up at least be creative about it. Just go all the way and say all our memories were created last Monday and then you can be as wild as you want.

The mass of links between organizations of little credibility created by these last two men is astounding and I have to feel bad for Brent Miller for associating with such crackpots.

This episode ends in the discussion of the galactic plane. The period of our movement in and out of this plane is 30 million years. While we are quite near the plane right now, it is implied that our position will be different enough in 2012 to cause major changes in our environment. That ancient civilizations would have some idea of this effect which only occurs once every 15 million years is. . .well, I'm tired of coming up with new ways of calling a spade a spade. This is supidity on a magnitude only seen in creationist textbooks.

 The closing statement of the film is essentially this:

Some people will try to contradict what we're saying. Don't listen to them.
