Keshe Space Foundation scam

[Kastor]

There is a new antigravity scamster called Keshe. He claims the usual that the government is suppressing him. Same old story. Typical pseudoscientific scam. Website is www.keshespace.com/ . He is trying to get money from people promising to take people to space by 2014. This guy is a great conman. He has not yet peer reviewed his work but claims that other scientists are too dumb to peer review his work. I wonder who is really dumb.

Wow, they've even got a forum full of stupid. Try the thread on global warming. There's a guy who believes it's a fake scare by the "Elite", another who thinks it is being caused by the "2nd sun"(!), etc. Morons ripe for being scammed by Mehran Keshe.

[Kastor]

True very true Bob. The guy is trying to create some type of cult on the net. He thinks of himself as a saviour of humanity. I think most of the posts on his forum are by himself. He is trying to give the impression that he has countless supporters. He is a bloody freak.

He certainly seems to be putting a lot of effort into publicity, and support postings all over the place.
I wonder how long it'll be before we get a sock-puppet popping up here to defend him?

As with all the free energy crowd, if he actually had a working device, he wouldn't need to ask people on the internet for money.
What I do wonder about is how many scammers actually make much money, even when they folllow the standard formula of blaming governments/big business for suppressing their ideas.
Do some people really fall for that line over and over, and not learn from the failure of every single one of the previous scammers, or do the scams just rely on a steady supply of new marks?

I guess we chould give Google a helping hand.
Desktop plasma focus fusion?
Cheap Energy?
Free Energy?
Fraud?
Scam-artist?
Bogus?
Lies?
Or incredible reality?

Is he *really* a nuclear scientist, and if so, what's his history, and why weren't his previous employers interested in his genius?
Why hasn't he been kidnapped and shipped off to Area 51 yet?
If The Powers That Be are so scared of his ideas, why hasn't he met with an unfortunate accident?

Congratulations to everyone who has got beyond 1000, especially Chaggle



and as for Bindeweede (love "Binders"!), he deserves a medal!

And thank you Kastor for pointing out the Keshe Space Foundation scam. You may only have two posts but we still love you.

He claims to have the means to take people to the moon. Yet he dosen't have a spaceship yet. I wonder why someone like Richard Branson hasn't funded him if he does have such a revolutionary technology. It is obviously such a good scam. Almost got caught to it. Then realised his science was so false. i don't know how people like him continue to be allowed to scam the public.

I admit I did look at this site having been pre-informed that it was a scam, but had I just chanced upon it I don't think I would have believed it for more than a minute, it's just too obvious. Is anybody in fact taken in by this?

Yes, people believe what they want to believe.
Logic, Evidence, Reality, not so appealing when you switch your brain off.

Very true. Some people dont use their brains especially this Keshe fellow. I doubt he is even a nuclear scientist like he claims.
