THE “STATE” OF IDAHO: THE CASE FOR
OPEN DEBATE
If you would ask any schoolchild how
many states there are in the United
States, you will get the same answer: 50
— fifty states in the Union. It is simply an
accepted “fact.” If you would disagree
with this supposed “fact,” you would be
branded insane or worse. However,
mounting evidence shows that there are
in fact only 49 states in the US, and the
“state” of Idaho is a baseless myth.
We have been trying to distribute and
publish this information for over *two
years*, but our scholarship has not been
given any respect. We have been
censored, vilified, ridiculed and spat
upon by the “traditional” geographers
and historians, but WE WILL NOT BE
SILENCED!
All we ask is that the existence of the
state of Idaho be debated, as every
other historical and geographic “fact”
can be debated. Time after time, our
opponents have refused to debate us on
the FACTS. This alone should tell you
something about the people who support
the “existence” of this “43rd state.”
Please read the following evidence VERY
CAREFULLY, and you will be astonished
at the veracity of our cause.
THE POPULATION MYTH:
Do you know anybody from Idaho? Do
you know anybody *who knows
anybody* from Idaho? According to the
1990 “census,” there are over one
million (1,000,000, or 1 x 10^6) people
living in Idaho. But if there are so many
Idahoans, where are they?
Some people have come forward and
claimed that they were born and raised
in “Idaho.” But *every single person*
who made this claim have been shown to
be frauds and charlatans. These
“Idahoan wannabes” are invariably
inconsistent with each other about the
size (in square miles or square
kilometers) of “Idaho,” about various
town and village names, and even about
the names of “Idaho’s mighty rivers.”
THE SIZE FARCE:
According to traditional geographic
sources (created entirely by people who
believe in the existence of Idaho, and
probably the Tooth Fairy, also) the
“State” of Idaho is more than twice the
size of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire,
Rhode Island, Connecticut and
Massachusetts *combined.* Isn’t it
strange that a state with such vast land
resources has so few people? And even
of you look at a map, (created by the
Idaho-centric cartographers) the “State”
of Idaho is dwarfed by its much larger
neighbor, Montana.
SATELLITE EVIDENCE:
Recently declassified weather satellite
information, showing the entire
continental United States, shows
absolutely *no evidence* that there is
any state where “Idaho” is supposedly
located. Noted experts in the field of
interpreting these pictures unanimously
agree that, from outer space, it is
impossible to determine the borders of
this elusive “state.” Yet meteorologists
and cartographers routinely overlay
these satellite pictures with the outline
of states that would seem to indicate
Idaho’s existence.
PHOTOGRAPHIC “EVIDENCE”:
Many people, skeptical of the clear
evidence that Idaho does not and never
did exist, point to photographs that
they’ve seen in encyclopedias and
postcards seeming to show parts of the
state of Idaho.
It is important to note that a photograph
without a caption is often meaningless. A
picture of people in boats surrounded by
mountains could have been taken in
Colorado or Nevada, but when the holy
*caption* says that this is a picture of
the “Salmon River” in “Idaho,” gullible
readers tend to swallow this information
whole *without any further
examination.*
We have examined literally hundreds of
these “photographs,” and the ones that
are not outright fakes are all clearly
taken in other parts of the nation.
ASK THE JAPANESE:
It is well known that Americans are
woefully ignorant about geography,
which is one reason why it is so easy to
fake an entire state here. Not
surprisingly, most of the effort to create
the illusion of Idaho has been expended
in the USA.
But if you would ask a typical Japanese
or French schoolchild about what he/she
knows about Idaho, you will usually get a
blank stare. People who are much better
at geography than Americans have
never heard of this “great state.”
THE POTATO MYTH:
Any given supermarket in the United
States has sacks of potatoes clearly
marked “Idaho Potatoes.” People make
the assumption, that when they are
buying these potatoes, that they were
*grown* in the “state” of “Idaho.”
Actually, “Idaho” is a type of potato, just
like “McIntosh” is a type of apple. The
FACT is that *many* states have potato
crops, as well as foreign countries, and
potatoes that say “Idaho” on them are no
more from Idaho than Baltimore Orioles
all come from Maryland.
SO, WHAT’S THERE?
Nothing. THERE IS NOTHING THERE. We
have been so brainwashed by the
traditional mapmaking community to
think that if Idaho doesn’t exist, then
there must be some sort of vacuum
there instead. This is nonsense.
The very shapes and positions of the
states, and indeed of every nation on
the planet, is only known through
“information” provided by cartographers.
It is akin to asking “if Santa’s house isn’t
at the North Pole, then what’s there
instead?”
THE CARTOGRAPHER CONSPIRACY:
The *only evidence* that there is a state
called Idaho comes from maps.
Everybody has maps, in almanacs, in
encyclopedias, and on the walls of every
elementary school classroom in America.
Astonishingly, *over 99%* of all maps are
created by *cartographers!* If any
clearly defined set of people would
control any other important industry to
that degree, everybody would be up in
arms about the undue influence given to
a meager few. However, for some
reason, Cartographers are immune to
such criticism. Any mention about the
Cartographer influence over the
mapmaking industry (and, as a natural
extension, OUR VERY THOUGHTS!) is
dismissed as “lunacy.”
As an indication of how insidious is this
influence, just think: have you ever
questioned a map? Maps, being
graphical objects, require much less
effort to assimilate into our very
psyches. Behavioral studies show that
people can much more readily
understand maps than printed
descriptions of geographical areas; in
fact, the images on maps tend to go
directly into the subconscious of Man
(Homo Sapiens) without the critical
thinking that accompanies reading. In a
very real way, Cartographers are the
*real* Thought Police.
But they do not work in a vacuum. There
are much too few of them to do their
real damage unaided. Mapmakers have
conspired with the editors of almanacs
and encyclopedias to create a fantastic
illusion of space where there is none,
people where there aren’t any, and ski
resorts where none exist.
ONLY THE BEGINNING:
This is only the tip of the iceberg. We
have much more material on this
conspiracy, and we have yet to uncover
one iota of evidence that Idaho has ever
existed. All of the so-called “evidence” is
a mixture of falsifications, coercions, lies
and exaggerations.
The Cartographers would like nothing
better than to silence us. If you do not
see any more postings on this subject,
then you have clear evidence that their
Conspiracy of Silence on Idaho has
succeeded, and that Freedom of Speech
has been curtailed by the Cartographical
Thought Police. What can you do? All we
ask is that you be open minded. Of
course, you cannot trust any of the
second-hand evidence that you would
find in libraries, maps (!), airline
schedules or street signs. All you can
trust is what we have written here. We
are confident that once you evaluate all
of the valid evidence, you will be
angered by this conspiracy, and
motivated to do something about the
scum who perpetrated this hoax.
