What can you say? I didn't see much there that hasn't popped up on the other HB sites. Two exceptions:

The Freemasonry Connection: obviously this is the guy's big revelation. Even if what he claims is true, which I doubt, my reaction is a great big "So what?"

The "Water Won't Work For Cooling" argument: this guy doesn't have a clue when it comes to thermodynamics. He seems to have no concept of radiative cooling at all, and he doesn't recognize that the backpacks didn't rely on sublimation of ice, but released hot water. He also seems to think that anything exposed to the sun will immediately heat up to 200 degrees, regardless of its composition or reflectivity.

IMHO, this one earns an "over the top" on the crackpot scale.
