<p>THE "STATE" OF IDAHO: THE CASE FOR OPEN DEBATE</p>
|
|
<p>If you would ask any schoolchild how many states there are in the
|
|
United States, you will get the same answer: 50. Fifty states
|
|
in the Union. It is simply an accepted "fact." If you would
|
|
disagree with this supposed "fact," you would be branded insane
|
|
or worse.</p>
|
|
<p>However, mounting evidence shows that there are in fact only 49
|
|
states in the US, and the "state" of Idaho is a baseless myth.</p>
|
|
<p>We have been trying to distribute and publish this information
|
|
for over *two years*, but our scholarship has not been given
|
|
any respect. We have been censored, vilified, ridiculed and
|
|
spat upon by the "traditional" geographers and historians, but
|
|
WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED! </p>
|
|
<p>All we ask is that the existence of Idaho be debated,
|
|
as every other historical and geographic "fact" can be debated.
|
|
Time after time, our opponents have refused to debate us on the
|
|
FACTS. This alone should tell you something about the people who
|
|
support the "existence" of this "43rd state."
|
|
|
|
Please read the following evidence VERY CAREFULLY, and you will be
|
|
astonished at the veracity of our cause. </p>
|
|
<p>THE POPULATION MYTH</p>
|
|
<p>Do you know anybody from Idaho? Do you know anybody *who knows
|
|
anybody* from Idaho? According to the 1990 "census," there are
|
|
over one million (1000000, or 1 x 10^6) people living in
|
|
Idaho. But if there are so many Idahoers, where are they?</p>
|
|
<p>Some people have come forward and claimed that they were born
|
|
and raised in "Idaho." But *every single person* who made this
|
|
claim have been shown to be frauds and charlatans. These "Idahoan
|
|
wannabes" are invariably inconsistent with each other about the
|
|
size (in square miles or square kilometers) of "Idaho," about
|
|
various town and village names, and even about the names
|
|
of "Idaho's mighty rivers." </p>
|
|
<p> THE SIZE FARCE</p>
|
|
<p>According to traditional geographic sources (created entirely
|
|
by people who believe in the existence of Idaho, and probably
|
|
the Tooth Fairy, also) the "State" of Idaho is more than twice
|
|
the size of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island,
|
|
Connecticut and Massachusetts *combined.* Isn't it strange that
|
|
a state with such vast land resources has so few people? And
|
|
even of you look at a map (created by the Idaho-centric
|
|
cartographers) the "State" of "Idaho" is dwarfed by its much
|
|
larger neighbor, Montana. </p>
|
|
<p>SATELLITE EVIDENCE</p>
|
|
<p>Recently declassified weather satellite information, showing
|
|
the entire continental United States, shows absolutely *no
|
|
evidence* that there is any state where "Idaho" is supposedly
|
|
located. Noted experts in the field of interpreting these
|
|
pictures unanimously agree that, from outer space, it is
|
|
impossible to determine the borders of this elusive "state."
|
|
Yet meteorologists and cartographers routinely overlay
|
|
these satellite pictures with the outline of states that
|
|
would seem to indicate Idaho's existence.</p>
|
|
<p> PHOTOGRAPHIC "EVIDENCE"</p>
|
|
<p>Many people, skeptical of the clear evidence that Idaho
|
|
does not and never did exist, point to photographs that they've
|
|
seen in encyclopedias and postcards seeming to show parts of the
|
|
state of Idaho. </p>
|
|
<p>It is important to note that a photograph without a caption
|
|
is often meaningless. A picture of people in boats surrounded
|
|
by mountains could have been taken in Colorado or Nevada,
|
|
but when the holy *caption* says that this is a picture of
|
|
the "Salmon River" in "Idaho," gullible readers tend to
|
|
swallow this information whole *without any further examination.*</p>
|
|
<p>We have examined literally hundreds of these "photographs," and
|
|
the ones that are not outright fakes are all clearly taken in
|
|
other parts of the nation.</p>
|
|
<p>ASK THE JAPANESE</p>
|
|
<p>It is well known that Americans are woefully ignorant about
|
|
geography, which is one reason why it is so easy to fake an
|
|
entire state here. Not surprisingly, most of the effort to
|
|
create the illusion of Idaho has been expended in the USA.
|
|
But if you would ask a typical <span class="NORP">Japanese</span> or French schoolchild
|
|
about what he/she knows about Idaho, you will usually get a
|
|
blank stare. People who are much better at geography than
|
|
Americans have never heard of this "great state." </p>
|
|
<p>THE POTATO MYTH </p>
|
|
<p>Any given supermarket in the United States has sacks of potatoes
|
|
clearly marked "Idaho Potatoes." People make the assumption, that
|
|
when they are buying these potatoes, that they were *grown* in
|
|
the "state" of "Idaho." </p>
|
|
<p>Actually, "Idaho" is a type of potato, just like "McIntosh" is
|
|
a type of apple. The FACT is that *many* states have potato crops,
|
|
as well as foreign countries, and potatoes that say "Idaho" on
|
|
them are no more from Idaho than <span class="GPE">Baltimore</span> Orioles all come
|
|
from Maryland.</p>
|
|
<p>SO, WHAT'S THERE?</p>
|
|
<p>Nothing. THERE IS NOTHING THERE. We have been so brainwashed
|
|
by the traditional mapmaking community to think that if Idaho
|
|
doesn't exist, then there must be some sort of vacuum there
|
|
instead. This is nonsense.</p>
|
|
<p>The very shapes and positions of the states, and indeed of
|
|
every nation on the planet, is only known through "information"
|
|
provided by cartographers. It is akin to asking "if Santa's
|
|
house isn't at the <span class="PERSON">North</span> Pole, then what's there instead?"</p>
|
|
<p>THE CARTOGRAPHER CONSPIRACY</p>
|
|
<p>The *only evidence* that there is a state called Idaho comes from
|
|
maps. Everybody has maps, in almanacs, in encyclopedias, and
|
|
on the walls of every elementary school classroom in America.</p>
|
|
<p>Astonishingly, *over 99%* of all maps are created by *cartographers!*
|
|
If any clearly defined set of people would control any other
|
|
important industry to that degree, everybody would be up in arms
|
|
about the undue influence given to a meager few. However, for
|
|
some reason, Cartographers are immune to such criticism. Any
|
|
mention about the Cartographer influence over the mapmaking
|
|
industry (and, as a natural extension, OUR VERY THOUGHTS!) is
|
|
dismissed as "lunacy." </p>
|
|
<p>As an indication of how insidious is this influence, just think:
|
|
have you ever questioned a map? Maps, being graphical objects,
|
|
require much less effort to assimilate into our very psyches.
|
|
Behavioral studies show that people can much more readily understand
|
|
maps than printed descriptions of geographical areas; in fact,
|
|
the images on maps tend to go directly into the subconsciousness
|
|
of Man (Homo Sapiens) without the critical thinking that accompanies
|
|
reading. In a very real way, Cartographers are the *real* Thought
|
|
Police. </p>
|
|
<p>But they do not work in a vacuum. There are much too few of them
|
|
to do their real damage unaided. Mapmakers have conspired with the
|
|
editors of almanacs and encyclopedias to create a fantastic illusion
|
|
of space where there is none, people where there aren't any, and
|
|
ski resorts where none exist. </p>
|
|
<p>ONLY THE BEGINNING</p>
|
|
<p>This is only the tip of the iceberg. We have much more material
|
|
on this conspiracy, and we have yet to uncover one iota of evidence
|
|
that Idaho has ever existed. All of the so-called "evidence" is
|
|
a mixture of falsifications, coersions, lies and exaggerations.</p>
|
|
<p>The Cartographers would like nothing better than to silence us.
|
|
If you do not see any more postings on this subject, then you
|
|
have clear evidence that their Conspiracy of Silence on Idaho </p>
|
|
<p>has succeeded, and that Freedom of Speech has been curtailed by
|
|
the Cartographical Thought Police. </p>
|
|
<p>What can you do? All we ask is that you be open minded. Of course,
|
|
you cannot trust any of the second-hand evidence that you would
|
|
find in libraries, maps (!), airline schedules or street signs.
|
|
All you can trust is what we have written here. We are confident
|
|
that once you evaluate all of the valid evidence, you will be
|
|
angered by this conspiracy, and motivated to do something about
|
|
the scum who perpetated this hoax.
