The forces of woo took a huge hit lately.

[Archae]

More and more, woo spreaders are being discredited, exposed as liars, or delusional.

Andrew Wakefield and Jenny McCarthy, and their autism/vaccination woo has been exposed as nonsense by McCarthy, and outright medical fraud by Wakefield.

UFO nutcases had a "seminar" at the US Capitol, and they made their usual accusations, but came up with nothing of actual substance.
Naturally.

A creationist "test" is all over the Internet, showing just how stupid creationism is.

A fake "US soldier" in Vietnam being touted by a "documentary" film-maker has been exposed as a fake.

A congresscritter, (republican, of course,) wants science to be approved by politicians.

And now a "famous" TV psychic has been 100% wrong yet AGAIN about a kidnapped child.
She has no comment, naturally.

1. She didn't see that coming....old joke.

I've seen Sylvia Browne on the Montel Williams show. She seems to be nasty as well as inaccurate.

And then we had legislator Stella Tremblay of NH accusing Jeff, who lost his legs in the Boston bombing, of faking it, or there was a conspiracy, because he wasn't passed out.

These people have no shame.... She must have gone to the Joe McCarthy Charm School.

2. Sylvia Fucking Browne!!

You can read about here:
Yet Another Sylvia Browne Fiasco by James Randi.

Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michele Knight – three women who went missing over a decade ago and were presumed dead – have been found to be alive. This item especially interested me because in 2004, on the totally irresponsible Montel Williams Show, “psychic” Sylvia Browne told Amanda Berry’s mom that her daughter was dead, causing her great shock and sorrow. And the mother, Jouwana Miller, went to her grave believing – only on Browne’s word – that her daughter had been murdered. She died in March of 2006, and friends were of the opinion that her passing was hastened by Browne’s totally uninformed and callous guess…

The gravel-voiced talk-to-the-dead woman (born Sylvia Celeste Shoemaker, 1936) who says that she sees and hears ghosts, used to be “Brown.” She added the “e” in an attempt to distance herself from her former husband, Kensil Dalzell Brown, known as “Dal,” with whom she was involved back in 1988 in a $1.3 million loan scheme involving a gold mining operation using the “psychic’s” magical powers, a plot that sent Dal to jail and Sylvia to probation.
Literally for decades now, I have been directing attention to the fact that Browne has been a continual, proven, failure. This is only the most recent example.

<much more at link>

This despicable, horrible person preys on people who have recently lost touch with loved ones. She's a horrible person whose only goal is to get rich over other people's tragedies. Like a vulture she swarms over the dead and the missing, picking at people's loved ones bones.

Also on the Fucking Montel Williams Show she heartlessly worked over the parents of Shawn Hornbeck.

She made that shit up, too.

Here's the Shawn Hornbeck Foundation.
