I had run into some members of CEC Australia (associated with the LaRouche organisation) last month, and they had some interesting ideas that I wanted to check into further (socio-political not geological). So I gave them some contact details and they phoned me last night. It didn’t take long for me to realise that this wasn’t a group I wanted to be involved in (anyone who repeatedly uses the word ‘truth’ creeps me out). But being a ‘nice’ person I didn’t hang up on them. Towards the end of the phone call the conversation strayed into geology. They have some very strange ideas about geology, in particular the origin of groundwater, ore deposits and hydrocarbons. Todays bizarre pseudo-science topic is: iron ore deposits form from the blood and bones of animals.
