Opinions, please.

The mass of paranormal information on this site is truly mind-boggling.
The question is: is it really true, partly so or a massive hoax - and if so - to what purpose?
The content overlaps many threads on this site and is fairly extensive in range, scope and content.

If true, the scenario described is quite horrifying.

I just lightly skimmed the article you linked to, and you know the way that phishing emails have a stink of scam about them? To me this smells the same.

So Im saying hoax, to use up internet space and give someone a hobby.

An interesting read. I haven't fully read it all (still have some of the second update to get through). In many way's it resembles similar interview style articles regarding Montauk and in particular the John Titor interviews (well, if iirc they weren't exactly interviews, more a collection of questions and answers on newsgroups), which are probably two of the greatest stories of this type.

There is two striking differences however. One is that they were more self contained stories in and of themselves. On the other hand this story really appears to be a mish-mash of commonly known pre-existing ideas, conspiracy theories, stories etc. The second is that, to my knowledge anyway, the others avoided any glaring technical errors. John Titors story for example, while fantastic and unproven, was generally seen as being consistent with scientific thinking and I don't believe he made any statements which were definitely factually incorrect. However there were several in this story, for e.g. the "ball" seen around a nuclear explosion is quite well understood, Imnot sure from the article if he's referring to the shockwave or the ball of super heated luminescent air which will surround a nuclear blast, but both are well understood and not related to space time rips.

While I love these kind of stories and the mysteries they provide and the thought they provoke, my instinct says that this one is a hoax. It actually strikes me as a hoax put together by a skeptic to try and demonstrate what people are willing to believe. One further thing that leads me to believe this is that generally in paranormal/conspiracy theory parlance "stargate" referrs to 'The Stargate Project' which relates to remote viewing, not devices used to travel between worlds, I may be wrong but it strikes me as someone who hasn't fully read up on something they are trying to peddle to others. It's kind of like they're hoping to create a story by ticking all the common boxes.

edit: I do of course hope I'm wrong. And one possible defence for the points mentioned above is that the character invovled makes references to not having complete memories for some unexplained reason, although again this is possibly another box being checked.

edit2: For people who enjoyed reading this I would strongly recommend reading more about John Titor and in particular The Montauk Project.

I think its an interesting idea. The site is basically a place for any and all conspiracy/paranormal claims to be made. I found myself sniggering at how naive/patently false/wacko a lot of it was but then I ended up spending over an hour reading about the Danny Casolaro Case. He's listed as one of the people who died for "whistle blowing". As compelling as that case is, there's then plenty of others along the lines of "This man was investigating the government, and later he died of a heart attack. Coincidence!? I think not!"

So yeah, plenty of interesting stuff but I'd put the sceptical engine to maximum while browsing.

Yes I started posting again :pac:
