Yep, there may be some "predictive programming" involved here.
I am glad to see that you all take the disinfo that is spread everywhere to ridicule peolple like us, commonly referred to either as "truthers" or "tinfoil hats" by the MSM/shills, with the necessary grain of salt.
Concerning the Smithsonian
I shortened your post there Divine Wind, because I want to address that question directly. Yes, I have an opinion on the Smithsonian.
Basically it is a fantastic institution, with a lot of cool people working there who just want to do their research and who have amassed one of the most outstanding collections of artifacts, fossils, minerals, historical and technical objects of unique value in the world. Most guys there are absolutley OK, of course they work happily entirely within the system, but they don't do it out of any evil intentions. they are just ordinary Joes.
They just want to do their science thing and be left alone. maybe get their 15 minutes of fame, publish their articles (never really questioning the narrative, of course, because then they would not get published) and get their research funded, for which they have both to publish and make the right connections to the right people higher up. Same as everywhere. So most of the Smithsonian scientists are just foot soldiers, and they either don't care or they don't know anything about the things we discuss here.
But on a deeper level, the Smithsonian is a rabbit hole. everything about it is as fishy as it gets, from the biography of gool old Mr. Smithson himself to the history of the original Smithsonian bulding to the actual involvement of the Smithsonian in numerous scientific cover-ups. There are people there who are something like the scientific men in black, not only in the US but in many countries. And if they don't want things to be seen, they will not be seen. These are not the people who publish in shiny high-rank journals like "Nature" or "PNAS" or "Science". These are not the people you see talking about dinosaurs on Discovery Channel. These are people directly linked to the government of the US. Possibly they are FED's of some kind with scientific training. They operate under the radar and are mostly not known even by the large majority of the Smithsonian staff. I have never seen these guys, but I have heard more than enough rumors and heard more than enough stories from people I trust to make this scenario believable to me.
The Smithsonian is gigantic, and anybody who has never worked there as a scientist himself has probably no idea how gigantic the thing really is. It is not just the huge buildings and museums you see. They have mind-blowing magazines and storage rooms all across Washington DC and in other places, some of them underground and hidden and secured like it was bloody Area 51. If you go there as a visiting scientist, you usually do NOT get access to the magazines/storage rooms. The drill is the following: you get your work place. From there you can access the catalogs of the Smithsonian collection (basically the ones you can also find on the web, but also more sophisticated versions). Everything that is (officially) present in their collection has a catalog number. So you should have a good idea what it is that you are looking for, because you will not be allowed to waddle through their holy storage rooms and open all drawers and sniffle around. Some magazines, like the one where they keep the really huge dino bones are an exception, because understandably they don't want to move them around too much. But there is not much to see there, actually, only crumbling huge bones, mostly still in their original plaster jackets.
So what you do is you tell them: "I would like to study the following specimens,
Stegosaurus skull No. USNM (United States National Museum) No. 1234 (made up number, they have several stegos in their collections though), and I would also like to see the lower jaw and neck vertebrae that go with it."
So you basically place an order, like if you visit a restaurant. And you basically have to know exactly what you want to look at beforehand. They have a sophisticated system by which it is almost guaranteed that the specimens you want to see are delivered right to your desk the same or the next day. They basically have their own traffic system throughout the city, which just carries around specimens day in day out. The order goes to the curators, the curators hand them to the collections managers, the collections managers hand them to their assistants, the assistants get out the specimens you ordered. The orders are then all put in a Smithsonian van and delivered to the working places of the visiting (or permanent) research scientists. You get a deadline for how long you can borrow them, for visiting scientists usually not longer than four weeks. Then they return to the vaults.
I have never personally seen those fabulous Smithsonian vaults, few people outside the Smithsonian have visited them. And I am absolutely sure that there are specimens which are NOT in the official catalog that everboday and his uncle with a Ph. D. can access, and that there are storage rooms that are NOT publicly known, and probably not known to 99,9% of the Smithsonian scientists.
Just my 2 cents from personal experience and stuff I heard over the years.
Concerning Europaen giants this is an interesting article out of many:
CNUM - 4KY28.35 : p.11 - im.15
I have looked on Mossadpedia, apparently there has been "no peer-reviewed restudy" since 1890.
Giant of Castelnau - Wikipedia
I wonder why that is? If it would be easily debunked, it would have been debunked, thrice.
So I think this, for example, is legit, a scientific paper in a renowned scientific journal by a leading French anthropologist of the 1890ies, not some stupid Western hillbilly in Oklahoma who is too dumb or uneducated to tell the femur of a human from that of a
Brontosaurus or
Brontotherium.
This is LEGIT!
Yes, I know enough about anatomy to tell you from that single bad quality figure that these bones look like human bones. And yes, if the measurements given are correct, that mofo must have been more than 3m tall. At the end of the article de Lapouge explicitly mentions the "géants de antiquité", the "ancient giants" and speculates whether his find may represent evidence for truth in the old myths and legends. That is rather strong stuff coming from a respected academic at that time.
What is particularly intriguing is, that, even according to Wiki, several renowned scientists examined the bones and all supported de Lapouge's conclusion that they were of a giant humanoid, which must have stood more than 3 meters in height! So much for peer review. Yes this existed in the 19th century, but in a different way. People actually LOOKED at the SPECIMENS together and not at the manuscripts.
And the whereabouts of this absoultely mind-blowing sensational find are, as usual, unkown. And there were more, even complete skulls, which never were officially pubslished. The cover-up was already under way. They were all "supposedly sent to the French Academy of Sciences", which is exactly the European version of "they were supposedly sent to the Smithosonian". We will NEVER get to see them again.
At any rate I consider this single article as infinitely more convincing evidence than all the bullshit fake stuff that is found on some obscure "conspiracy" or, god beware, creationist pages on the web. Giant prehistoric humans are real, but for some reason TPTB fear them. They really fear them.
