David Icke and Bart should get on well.

"...and produced films shown on ABC, NBC, CNN, TLC, USA, BET, as well as The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."
I'm assuming he means the video of Buzz Aldrin punching him. That was probably shown on every network. ;)

I couldn't continue reading after this bit because the coffee I was drinking was sprayed all over the monitor...
"Bart Sibrel is an award winning filmmaker!
-
I'm still struggling to find which films he has won awards for. All I have so far is that convicted criminal Sibrel has been told that his youtube videos were just lovely from an organisation that basically tells the people who pay them money to join that their youtube videos were just lovely.
All shall win prizes...
-
Maybe he's struggeling to sell his DVD, and need the cash?
-
"Brother Bart"?
"Brother Bart's Conspiracy Channel"?
Ugh. Poe's Law strikes again.

What's the bet that, as his religious belief systems become clear, he turns out to be a YEC?

The Tonight Show is on NBC. I know he's trying to add an extra layer of bragging--what, no Daily Show?--but that bothers me.

Crikey, you've just reminded me that I haven't watched that video in ages. I'm now in need of a fix. :P

YEC?

YEC = Young Earth Creationist. A pretty safe bet for BS. I expect he is touting an impending Apocalypse too.

Maybe superficially, but given that he has outright lied in his videos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKkpfYUhkig), I think he just does this for the money, ironically making him a true shill.

More than superficially I think. Being a supposed YEC would give him a whole new vista of imagined conspiracies to get into....
► Evolution is a scam, perpetrated by the world's mainstream zoologists
► Plate tectonics is a conspiracy that all the world's mainstream geologists are in on
► Dinosaurs are all hoaxes by mainstream palaeontologists the world over
I'm sure others can think of more, but those are the highlights!!

Eh, I grew up in a YEC Christian family, and while there was definitely elements of the first, the latter two were certainly not the case.

Well, Walt Brown's "Hydro-Plate theory" has to be one of the most stupid YEC theories ever conceived. The level of stupid in his rantings is breathtaking.
Here, though is my favourite youtube debunker... Wildwoodclaire, taking the mickey out of Walt Brown's preposterous ideas.
PS: How do you embed a youtube video here. I have tried various different ways, I cannot seem to get it to work. the BBCode button enclosing the URL does not work.

It would be pretty hard to deny that the earth's plates are moving inasmuch as you can actually see them moving with GPS even when there isn't a major earthquake going on. But I wouldn't put it past the young-earth creationists. They deny radioactive decay even when you can watch and time that too.
-
Oh dear. I read the introduction. That was enough.

Like this...
The problem is the S after the http - get rid of it.... I'm not sure what it is that makes some links Secure but not others..

An expanding Earth proponent on BAUT's ATM section, when I still visited BAUT's ATM section, told me they'd never measured subduction. I told them they had, in fact, and were in the process of doing it a few hundred miles from my apartment. I forget exactly why I was wrong about that one, but he was sure I was.

I suspect BS's beliefs are sincere at the time he says them for the purpose for which he holds them. It is just that his purposes are different from yours and mine. His overall behavior suggests to me that he live his life at crossed purposes.

It is perfectly possible for people to have sincerely held beliefs which contain a level of stupid that is simply beyond all reason, e.g. flat-earthers and no-planers!

ChrLz. Thanks for the info regards youtube embedding. That will be why I have been able to get to to work sometimes and not other times

The S stands for Secure. Without it, your browser connects to the standard HTTP port (80) on the server and fetches the object in the clear. The https prefix tells your browser to connect to a different server TCP port (443), perform a SSL (Secure Sockets Library) handshake, and fetch the object using SSL to encrypt it.
Many web servers support both unencrypted (http) and encrypted (https) connections, but not all. Some web servers don't listen on port 443 at all, so you'll get "connection refused" or something similar. Other web servers (like mine) do listen on 443 but aren't properly set up for every domain name that they happen to serve unless the site owner explicitly pays for that feature. The result can be weird errors, hangs, 404 (not found) errors, etc.
It's a good idea to use https whenever possible just on principle, to make it that much harder for the NSA and other black agencies to vacuum-cleaner the entire web. But if it doesn't work, just change https to http.

In one of the little... uh... commentaries on his site "Brother Bart" says:
I receive a small social security check monthly, on the first of each month, by direct deposit.
I can't help but wonder whether he's considered mentally disabled.
Also, if he's really a "theology student" as he claims, I have to wonder if he was absent the day they taught the concept of going to hell for malicious lying.

He lied about being sick that day. :P

I thought Walt Brown's cracked-crust hydroplate flood theory sounded familiar. Sure enough, back in 1965 there was a movie called Crack In The World that had a similar premise, where a scientist sets off a thermonuclear device in/near the Earth's magma layer, causing a crack that rapidly encircles the globe and "threatens to split the Earth in two".
Actually not a bad movie, and certainly more entertaining than listening to Walt Brown.

I also receive a small social security check monthly, on the first of each month, by direct deposit. That's simply the payee's choice of payment options. It need not have anything to do with mental disability.
It's everything else he does and says that leaves me wondering.

Ah yes, "Crack in the World". I remember seeing that one on TV not long after it came out. Even then it seemed pretty damn hokey. I certainly don't lie awake at night worrying about geothermal power.

I believe you missed my point. I also receive an SSA check monthly by direct deposit. In my case, it's because of a physical disability.
My comment was intended to refer to the reason for Sibrel's stipend. He doesn't appear to be physically disabled (although such a disability is not always obvious), nor is he in the right age range(s) for survivor's or retirement benefits.
So I was speculating (in a tongue-in-cheek way) that he has qualified as mentally disabled.

To be fair being an "award winning filmmaker" doesn't necessarily mean he won awards for his films. That 50 yard swimming badge is still an award after all.
-
Ooh, sneaky! ;D
-
Just as an aside; The Bart mentions in the OP linked article that he was Skyping with his dear Filipino fiance, which leads me wonder...
1) Is she real?
2) If she is real, have her and Brudda Bart ever met in real life?
3) If she is real, is "she" actually a Thai TV/TS hooker, living in Bangkok, who makes living bilking gullible middle aged men for phone and/or text sex? (okay, okay, that last bit is just my sick fantasy about what BB deserves) ;D

Seems Brother Bart isn't done yet - here he is being interviewed for some conspiracy website or other

You can skip the first 5 minutes as it's just vacuous preamble.
As opposed to what follows...

My goodness, it only took Brother Bart a minute or so to be caught in a bald faced lie, notwithstanding his claim of that silly "documentary" costing 1/2 million dollars to produce. At 07:17 he talks about his stunt where he approached several astronauts and asked them to swear on the Bible that they walked on the moon, as if that action would produce any kind of proof either way. He goes on to say that none of them "took the oath", which is provably false. Gene Cernan accepted his challenge, and I believe one other astronaut did as well, (maybe someone else recalls... was it Bean??) The look on Sibrel's face when Cernan agreed to his terms was priceless. Think deer + headlights + the infamous Visine scene from A Clockwork Orange.
Naturally he makes no mention of that incident.

I wonder how his new Boss will take to his habitual lies.
...notwithstanding his claim of that silly "documentary" costing 1/2 million dollars to produce.
We had quite a big laugh over that. It's 40 minutes of royalty-free stock footage, except perhaps for the Zapruder film (for which the Zapruder family sometimes just waives royalties). Sibrel claims he paid over $10,000 alone for the rights to the song "Destination Moon," but that's about two orders of magnitude too much for a minor use license.
The feature film Primer, in contrast, had a budget of $7,000 and actually required a cast and crew -- not just some guy editing stock footage in his basement.

God is watching, Brother Bart!

That's one way to keep production costs down!!
That said, found the film very enjoyable.
NOTE: A $7000 budget with a $425,000 box office return is not be be sneezed at.

And one that Sibrel should have used, since I can't find anyone else except him who worked on his first film.

Nope. But according to Sibrel its profits still wouldn't have paid for the production costs of his own film.
But yes, the Salt Lake Film Society routinely sponsors films with production budgets in the low tens of thousands of dollars, often in the hopes that one will be a breakout hit. These have crews, casts, location permits, transportation and catering costs, royalties and license fees -- stuff Sibrel didn't worry about.

A thoroughly enjoyable mind bender, and worthy of repeat viewings.
I had the opportunity to work on a film directed by Kevin Foxe, executive producer for The Blair Witch Project, the granddaddy of all low-budget film success stories. He told me that during production, they were optimistic that they might be able to recoup their investment over a period of years through royalties from Blockbuster rentals. I think the film's gross far surpassed it's budget on the opening weekend alone.
:D

Whoaaaaaa doggy! :) All of my wives are from Asia, half from Thailand and I used Syke often to keep in touch. Once you go brown you never go back.

Now you've done it; now I'll have the "Me so horny, me love you long time" scene from the film Full Metal Jacket stuck in my head the rest of the day. ;)
