How Madisonstar Moon and Robert Bruce Norton Jr "do research"

Not a trait of these two per se, but for conspiracy theorists in general, most of their arguments rest on pictures that are "clear evidence", or so they say. For instance a "chemtrail" would scientifically be proven by taking a sample and having it labtested and compared to samples of places where there are no perceived chemtrails. One could even try and recreate a contrail with an aeroplane and search options from there.

However, in the world of the conspiracy theorist this is not how evidence works. It is easier to google something, then change the picture, so reverse search doesn't work, and hope your readers are gullible enough to believe the story, because of the evidence, without ever examening the evidence. One of the most painful versions of this has recently surfaced. It starts with this picture which Robert Bruce Norton Jr shared from Madisonstar Moon's page. Clear evidence, right?

Well, not really. This picture was taken from google and recropped to make it impossible to find reverse image search. If one takes a moment and realises what this really is, then the question of this evidence can be seriously doubted. Aluminum fluoride is a common chemical used for processing aluminium and hence is not an unusual sight in commercial trading. This picture was taken from a Chinese trading page: http://www.diytrade.com/china/pd/1933221/Aluminium_Fluoride_and_Synthetic_Cryolite.html

This is kind of on the dishonest side, but not yet a lie. When we see Robert Bruce Norton Jr reply to this, we don't only see a blatent lie, but also the lack of intelligence to recrop the picture. When we reverse search this picture we find another Chinese trading site. This time it is not even the correct product. Far from being aluminum fluoride, this is actually caustic soda and can be purchased for only $560.

Now we don't advise you to handle caustic soda without the proper protective gear, but it is used in the textile, oil, cleaning and beauty industries, but is also used in a wide variety of food preperation. Without this chemical there would be no more softdrinks, icecream, olives, hominy grits, or Chinese noodles.

Seriously people, if you are going to listen to these two telling you to "do your research", then please actually look in to their odd fear tactics, based on a picture from an industrial wholesaler from China.
