This morning I noticed how few persons had viewed my newest Youtube video compared with the hoax video that it was intended to expose. It was more than a million to one favoring deception over my exposure of that deception. To be specific:
“Golden Eagle Snatches Kid” has now had over forty million (40,000,000+) viewers who watched an apparent toddler being carried up into the air, for a short distance, by an apparent bird of prey. An animation studio in Montreal, Quebec, soon admitted that it was a computer-generated imitation of reality: There was no real toddler and no real bird.
Exposure of the Hoax-Video (31 views by the middle of December 28, 2012)
A humorous look at why “Golden Eagle Snatches Kid” is a hoax.
I was about half through my creation of the expose-video when I learned that Centre NaD, an animation school in Quebec, had made public the true nature of their video. By the time I had completed my own project and uploaded it to Youtube, on Christmas Eve, many expose-videos had already appeared, some of them with many thousands of viewers.
In reality a woman was acting a part, not reacting to a real attack
Attitude of Gratitude
Today, for a minute, I started to slip into the quagmire of self pity, for my hours of work in trying to make an entertaining video (that reveals the truth) was overshadowed, by a million to one, by a work of deception. The student animators in Canada may have spent fifty times as many hours on their video than I had on mine, but how many Youtube viewers were deceived by their product!
There may be, at this time, many thousands of parents and grandparents around the world who are nervous about taking small children to city parks. They were among those forty million viewers, but did not catch the later revelation that it was an admitted hoax. I’m glad that my own videos and books do not cause such an unnecessary problem.
I now realize the short-sighted and narrow perspective in my self pity. Truth will prevail, in time; and I have already had my own Youtube-popularity success with “Ropen-Pterodactyl American Eyewitness.” That video, that I edited and uploaded, has had over 300,000 viewers.
We need to remember to be grateful for what truth we have and what means we have to promulgate it. The future victory of truth is assured, regardless of how popular or unpopular it may be among some people at present.
Frigate Birds and Freak-Like Nerds
The Frigate bird, also called “man-o’-war bird,” flies far from the conflicting opinions of the living-pterosaur controversy. How irrelevant! But again it has been brought up as if evidence for the nonexistence of the ropen of Papua New Guinea.
