  • Subscribed Man! Lucky Chicken Bones for us all.

    This guy is a fucking headcase. Airbrushed earth quakes? The Illuminati control Nibiru or what ever this incredible joke planet is meant to be called.

    Keep Fucking that Chicken!

  • LOLZZ.. the vampire thing wassss tooooo much to handle cant stop laughing !!!!

  • LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL­LLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL­LLLLLLLLLLLLLL  sell your property.. !!

  • WTF.. who are the people listing over there to this crap.. I hope the got paid for being there.. lolzz.. otherwise this gonna be bad..

    OOHH WAIT..!! probably they are the other teachers in the school LOLZZ..!!

  • i love watching this guy have a dig and people who lack critical thinking

  • Great Video, and Lol at the chicken bone!!

  • The black border in this clip covers up the driver at the time he fired at the president. However it certainly shows his wife Jackie desperately trying to crawl out the back of the limo as fast as she can because she saw the driver shoot her husband and thought she was next.The private video taken by a Japanese doctor standing on the street right before the shooting occurred plainly shows the driver shooting the president but there were also other shooters to make sure the job got done.

  • @mannexx111 the "black border" is what's called image stabilization and if you examine the film frame by frame you can see both of William Greer's (the driver's) hands and document where they are at the time of the shooting. he did not pull a gun and shoot Kennedy. what is presented to be a gun by theorists is reflection off of Roy Kellerman's hair and forehead. you can tell this theory is thought up by people with no covert/tactical knowledge, its pretty laughable.

  • @V00D00SIXXX - Actually it was Bill Cooper who first presented the theory of the driver shooting JFK. Supposedly he had presented film to Japanese film technicians who had also confirmed that the driver had shot JFK. I am not sure if it was the driver, but if you think the shooter was Oswald, I have a bridge I would like to sell you..real cheap.

  • bull crap

  • Your a ledge dude! People make up bs about everyday things but this guy has taken it to a whole new level.

    P.s. Thank the lord for your lucky lucky chicken bone :)

  • This guy just butchered what Liquefaction really is meant to mean. What a maroon.

  • 2012.........

  • nice curtains....match the accent.

  • LOL, sorry you fail.

  • You have the rooster, the hen, and the chicken. The rooster goes with the chicken... So who's having sex with the hen?

    somethings missing..

  • moterhfucking bitch ,m this bitch is paid by JEWS to fear people fucker

  • People actually paid to see this clown? OM fuckin' G

  • My dad worked on the Apollo program.. And the Gemini, and the Mariner. That guy's an idiot. A professional idiot.

  • What a failwhale.

  • i'm not talking about the AlbuquerqueTribune and besides most local papers are bored mindless so yes they will report such but a 7.0 earthquake would appear on the front page of my newspaper in Melbourne no matter where it is in the world . sorry but i'm not convinced by your argument.

  • @bakiunicorn you dont need to be convinced by my argument, look at the acual evidence that i provided. there are even links to the USGS in the description box for earthquake 7.0 or greater in 2010 and 2011.

    im not giving my opinion here, these are facts.

  • @bakiunicorn What exactly aren't you convinced by? The documented evidence that the earthquakes happened? Did you do what I suggested?

    You seem to be of the opinion that if it wasn't reported in a big media story then it didn't happen. Not all earthquakes cause massive destruction, even of that magnitude, and only get big media attention when they cause large death tolls.

    If the news reported every earthquake like this as headlines then you would see several per month.

  • by the way. your research on the earthquakes is full of shit. if any of those areas even had an earthquake anywhere near 7.0 it would have been front page news. Stop spreading lies and bullshit and go back to blowing things up.

  • @bakiunicorn Some of them did make the news.

    Maybe you should do a little "research" yourself and check the dates. It's really easy, just type in the locations and dates listed in the video to google and... guess what you'll find.

  • epic FAIL spore engineer. 99% of what Alexander says is absolutely spot on. pity you only can pick up on a few points. But what do you expect from an illumanati trained lemming. pull your head out of the sand mate and wake up to your environment. The illuminati don't give a rats arse how much you have backed them up over the years. You will still end up in a concentration camp.

    start posting useful videos

  • 30 seconds in, I had to pause to digest the sheer bulk of stupidity he had spouted.

  • this made my afternoon!

  • You all know who Nasa is... Yip... lol

  • you said it ends 26th sep 2011 but he says sep 26th 2012 , how the hell did you miss that .. i commend you for picking out all his fails but yours is pretty big fail there sir lol .. good work tho and well presented, :) (p.s and why hasnt anyone else spotted this???

  • @SporeEngineer post the time stamp where he says sept 26 2012.

    he is clearly saying 2011 and he even admits now that he was wrong because he acknowledges that he was talking about 2011.

  • @SporeEngineer if you find the original vid he definately sites sept 2011 as his claims, this music teacher has probably noticed how wealthy David Icke is getting and is moving with it..con artist, the people in the room paid to be there...

  • Fantastic debunk, you're not pretty but fair play you tell it like it is - same attitude as people in Gloucester UK ( apart form Fred West), I listened to his BS on audio today , but wanted to check dates - like a numpty I thought it was this year, ha ha nope! it has er - happened already!

    I don't have heros but you are close to gaining an award for the most createive debunker and laugh personality of the year.

  • what is that black strip under the video just when the second shot taking place? if i may ask..

  • this guy is pretty funny in his commentary, and it seems that this guy alex is ill informed in the parts that you highlighted, except aside from all the nibiru stuff, whats your view on 911? as i am a "conspiracy nut" as you say...

  • It gets worse he's making it up as he go's along ,did people pay to swallow this monkey shit , people are you nuts , this guy keeps digging .

  • This Trevor Alexander is a complete nut !

  • Fuck me and people believe all this crap oooooooo the sky is falling the sky is falling .

  • everyone's a critic!....find ur own info and stop bashing others

  • @jetlorider sorry, not going to happen. if someone is spreading false information in public i am going to call them out on their BS.

  • @V00D00SIXXX Feb 27 2010 ..an earthquake of 8.8 did happened Chile...is a FACT!

  • @V00D00SIXXX aint it amazing what goes through peoples minds....like wtf keep up the good work man looking forward to upcoming videos!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @V00D00SIXXX You should call out the US government for their fakery of 9/11

  • @agameofthrones666 Wow dont you know that Voodoo used to be a demolitions expert .It was his job and he thinks that in know way was it a fake . he talks about it in some of his vids ,check out his channel !

  • watch?v=J5iBULGJG1s&feature=re­lated

  • sorry mate but about JFK check on this from 06:17 to 06:20 and look at driver.No more comment.

  • @krzysieksz30 saw it, driver didnt shoot. sorry. there is a link in the description box with a frame by frame analysis if you want to see it even better.

  • @V00D00SIXXX mate but You can clearly see the shining gun point in to JFK.And You say sorry this is no evidence.No problem You see as You wont to see.But I dont blame You.

  • This is a great vid. So many people are tossing in bullshit-facts ever since the day after tommorrow movie came out and dumbass the world over started being profects. How u busted that liying turd on ur vid is beyond awsome! The whole pacific falt will go' FAIL" LOL Lastly thanks for cleaning the mess that idiot tryed to create.

  • Yes, he probably does think Stargate is a documentary.

  • I followed this video up to the point where this gentleman started questioning the notion of WTC actually being rigged with explosives. I'm no demolitions expert, but there are countless demolitions experts that have confirmed this fact.

  • @sombora if an explosive "expert" says explosives brought down the WTCs... he needs to turn in his FEL because he's full of it. ive demolished buildings, bridges, blown up cars, done EDH, handled, rigged and set off more charges than i can count... and trying to say that 911 was controlled demolition is laughable at best.

    the only people who think explosives were used, are the ones who learned everything they know about explosive from what they see coming out of Hollywood.

  • @V00D00SIXXX Congratulations on a well planned picking apart of this guys BS! I think Mr Retrov needs to stop telling porkies!

  • for god sake man, trevor is telling the truth. someone i know in nasa told me he got a digit wrong in his calculations. its all happening in 2013 lolz

  • I found that quack's video in the beginning of August and it did kind of freak me out I wish I would have found your videos then....maybe I was sparkling like in Twilight or some shit LMAO

  • he's claiming sonic harmonics amplify the fundamental frequency. This would mean that sound never dies, but gets louder instead quieter.

    This explains why he's not teaching music any more, the blagger!

  • *instead of

  • 23:41-23:50 epic win

    good info+lols=thumbs up man

  • Dude, your making me laugh so much... you could just make a reality tv show that makes fun of idiots...I got a friend in LA looking to do the next be show... seriously, you could make a bundle of money. Get back with me.

  • keep it up man you should call your videos i call out bull shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Thank you for posting.

  • get a damn life, you think all those people sitting in that room didn't pay to hear his spew? at least he is making a living . you your worse you actually spend energy making videos contemplating his ridiculous claims. omg lol

  • As to your last thing, we actually did pass through the tail a few months later. The meteor shower it produced was lack luster at best.

  • Quantum, rotisserie rotational powers! Awesome!!

  • It's Friday, January 27, 2012 - I think entire pacific rim forgot to disappear.

  • I like this guy. you need to make your own version of like mystery science theatre man. I would subscribe.

  • New age garbage! Oh besides sunlight killed shot JFK through the head and not the driver. Let me explain: the light angle of the sun ray shines upon the front wiindow of the car casting a shadow on the left front guy's head so it appears to be a gun! Thanks to the light/shadow effects il say it agian: it appears like a gun...go look it up on utube the info is there about the sun/shadow casting of a "gun"

  • I'm an Aussie; but even we have our own b.s artists!!!

  • LMAO!! the NID is from the tv show "Stargate" on the Sci-fi network. I used to watch that show.

  • Trevor Alexander sort of insulted your whole career. But guess what? I could give lectures just like Trevor but I do it for free. Trevor can eat his heart out.

  • A soldier is is very subjected to manipulation, it's drilled into the connections in the brain, left side... 2012 IS being projected as a date with pretty numbers, that maybe can be a ritualistic event for the elite, bud by then ascension allready happened, in fact it's going on right now. Physical ascension will take place at one stage in wich there will be some time to gather and inform... (Source)

  • When he talks about the SOHO pictures - I think the black circle is the the shade it uses to blank out the glare of the sun.

  • "I'm not sure where he is coming up with all this"

    I think we do - out his arse.

  • Thank you for making this. That piece of shit sounded pretty convincing. I mean, look at the pride and vigor he speaks with. The lesson here is that any psycho douche can spread panic. If it wasn't past the doomsday he was talking about, I most likely would have bought his shit.

  • the "sparkling twilight shit" has me on the floor

  • dude you are the most informative and most hilarious person on yt. had me dying laughing at these conspiracy theorist

  • For a music teacher he is totally out of his depth!!

  • Trevor is so full of shit, he should shut his mouth and let his ass talk.

  • Great stuff. Just for the halibut I typed "Alexander Retrov" into an anagram generator. Lots of possibilities, as you can imagine, but I thought "vexed anal terror" worked nicely for him, lol.

  • @ufoguy1962 lol...

  • yeah... this dude is funny. but all this type of shit is VERY entertaining. like a movie... or reality shows.

  • can i buy your lucky chicken bone lol

  • i was laughing the entire video

  • lol 2012 my ass

  • i seen that vid i i was actually quite entertained by it ,,,,a load of bullshit but it was interesting watching someone talk total shit and the audience going on about past lives and pole shifts ,,,,,this vid is even funnier cos you said all the things that where making me laugh so double laughs ,,nice one ,,,didnt know his name was an angram of his own name (well near enough an anagram) classic mate. classic

  • Im the President of the Giant Douche Awards, John Edwards was champion for so long but I think we have found a new champion!

  • why was the 911 attacks brought up in this FAIL video? and YES there was explosives used in the collapses...even in the 3rd building that fell that day, WTC #7. (don't forget about building 7) apparently the guy making this video is a quack as well! or he is still "asleep"

  • @125joshuacr umm, the guy making this video is an explosives technician. thanks for your expert opinion.

  • you ruined it with reference to penn and teller, those guys are bafoons.

  • Great rebutal...good posting.

    Whack jobs...making money.

  • Did he not mean sep 2012 that it will happen

  • He's trying to turn himself into a David Icke type personality by ripping off other peoples theories and repacking them as his own "research" to make a buck. The problem is that Icke was already famous and had connections before his change of identity so that's why he's been successful whereas this other guy isn't.

  • THIS MAN IS A MAD ASSHOLE ...

  • Look that guy or lecturer or professor or teacher should stop teaching people to go insane and stop going to church and stop leading them back to worshiping of idols of the asian buddist or other stupid believes ..GOD in heaven is the ligth and he created every thing.

  • The scariest thing about this guys vid is he has his entire audience by the balls. Including the females. What a douche to make such claims. Good work for doing this to him, keep up the good work.

  • There are so many 2008 and 2009 and 2010 video's on You Tube with people saying "in the next two months, it's the end"! You'd think they'd take them down to avoid embarrassment!

  • Fail. What a douche

  • you know what angry me this joker says he dont believe the bible but use the bible to back up hes stupid lie and the idiot siting there are more retards than him

  • lol fail again like 2012 fail is gona be see ya all in 2013 d

  • When are people going to understand that people like this "Alexander" guy are opportunists!! I am in New Zealand, and I still have country around me, hmmm. My only question about this "Alexander" guy is "How much is he charging these extremely gullible Australians to attend his seminars?"

  • absolutly great break down on that fool i have seen a few of his videos and have always loved the way the people who is there are so taken in by this fool

    it was nice to see a good sensible break down of a fail video and loved the way you proved what you were saying with actual facts and please please keep that lucky chicken bone of yours as its saving the world

    peace out and keep your videos coming ;)

  • what about all the times when the earth and moon is in alignment with the sun, ie eclipse? the moon is 238,855 miles average away from us, he says the comet is 21,000,000 miles away!

  • disgusting how he almost smiles after he tells them how the whole pacific rim is about to collapse, he is clearly not in a vibration of true love i could tell that instantly, his wife is pretty hot though, maybe a little crazy but thats sexy

  • This guy giving the lecure who says the world would have end in september 26th is a Dumb Ass because i wasted 90 minutes watching his worthless video ....... he is just blabbering something

  • Great job on the video btw, I love how you deconstruct the bullshit.

  • "NID" Yup the only reference I can find also, was Stargate lol.

    What gets me about these Nibiru (or No-brain-u) people and those who believe it is, they play into the same manipulation that religions use. Its the, "don't mock, or you'll be sorry", kind of reasoning. They drum up fear, capitalize on the gullible and when it doesn't happen, you were saved by benevolent aliens, then on to the next wild irrational theory. The world is becoming polarized, between the gullible and the critical.

  • He said Gamma radiation... We would need Lead fucking buildings to protect us...

    I mean, the idea that a concrete building would protect you from a nuclear blast is hilarious because people don't seemingly realize the Gamma radiation that comes from nuclear blasts.

    But when you say it directly like this, how can your brain not come back to the old chemistry classes.

    Alpha particles can be blocked by paper, Beta by aluminum foil, Gamma, By a lead wall...

    This guy is a jack ass...

  • Sick of this Illuminati shit.

  • Wait a minute, This guy Trevor Alexander is a TERRORIST under the the passed bill, he is trying to cause TERROR within the people.

  • Dude, That guy is a total quack, Is he making money from this crap?

  • Comment removed

  • Australian certainly has its fair share of nutbags don't it? The short-form slang appellation OZ not only accurately describes the country from which he hails, it seems to perfectly describe the land in which he dwells mentally.

  • This is the guy lying to us now, forget NASA. Where's my tinfoil hat?

  • the video in the description says 2012 not 2011 so has he changed the name of the video or what

  • @salvi016 The linked video is "2012 The TRUTH You're NOT Being TOLD"... as in 2012 is the wrong year. he says the 2012 stuff is misdirection planted by the Illuminati and its actually going to happen sooner = 2011. he explains that in the 1st 16 seconds of that video.

  • @V00D00SIXXX oh ok thanks for explaining i just couldnt be botheres sitting through his over an hour video to find out if he meant 2011 lol, and your video was awesome :)

  • @V00D00SIXXX When he says "the date" and points on the whiteboard it says "December 21st".. What he ment was that it's not going to happen at that exact date, but sooner like in 2012 september 26th, but it's still year 2012.. You had some good points though.

  • @Tatsumario he says the date in the video- sept 26th 2011

  • @Tatsumario Good Points!?? This "Alexander" dude is an Aussie scaremonger who preys on deluded people with nothing to believe in! How many of those people at the seminar did you hear ask even one of the questions that was raised in this video? Pathetic, and what's even more pathetic is that people get sucked into this shit. I have an open mind to match anyone's but I draw the line at unproven, unjustified and incomplete information, all of which is apparent in Alex's seminar!

  • @V00D00SIXXX i believe he says, the illuminati want you to concentrate on dec 21 2012 so you dont no whats going to happen 2 months prior

  • @amyjah1 he says "in the next 2 months" because this video was shot in june 2011. thats why right after he says that at the beginning, there is a title that says "yes, this year- 2011"

    he has already issued a back peddling statement because he was wrong.

  • DUDE YOU FRIGGIN KILL ME.. YOUR A TRUE YOUTUBER MAN!!! kEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

  • Maybe, I was sparkling like on twilight, or some shit....Bahahahhahahahahahahah­aaaaa!!!!

  • "Maybe I was sparkling like on Twilight or some shit"

    Awesome!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA

  • I absolutely love how baffled you are when you listen to this guy's utter bull shit! HA HA HA HA

  • Thanks for the vid man. We need more REAL peeps like you....

  • DUDE WHERE WERE YOU MONTHS AGO! LOL!

  • what happend with wtc 7 , no explosives ? must be the gas and fires which totally annihilated the 47 story building even though it was 100 percent steel frame building, it must be 6 dimensional theory.?

  • Dude, you rock, you had me cracking up the whole time, my favorite part was the end, "Take care buddy!" hahahaha, so good, thanks for posting this and thanks for serving your country

  • Comment removed

  • Oh, and the big red FAIL overlays had me dying for some reason! haha Good stuff.

  • President of the Naval Reserve? lol

  • It is just a coincidence...there are multiple earthquakes all of the time. Some of them are going to be big. He didn't even say the size of the second one. There are minor earthquakes every day.

  • Haha. What a joke. I get so frustrated with all of these bandwagon elenin/nubiru "gurus". They simply shout out a lot of sensational bull shit and just because its sensational people latch onto it without even thinking because people are desperate for an alternative. People know they've been lied to and they're right, but don't get lied to again. Elenin already came and most of it was destroyed by the sun. Find out the real truth: watch Know Thyself by Santos Bonacci.

  • According to idiot genius, "For the whole duration our magnetic field is down?"... Universal power outage. Call Con Edison

  • Great video, when Kennedy takes the head shot you can clearly see his right temple shattered, indicating the shot came from behind, not from the front And basic physics tells anyone that a force exerted in one direction will experience an equal and opposing force. If you are hit from behind in a car accident is your head not propelled backwards first and then forward? This retrov is a complete idiot

  • Comment removed

  • there is a connection between doomsday nuts, religious assholes and conspiracy cracks heads... Oh shit I'm becoming a conspiracy crack lol

  • 1:46

    We all know who killed Kennedy! Abraham Zapruder did it! |(:P

  • Where can I get me one of them awesome quantum rotisserie oscillators from? I already have a chicken bone, but I want to be sure I'm properly protected just in case he's right

  • Really strikes me as odd... why would people even do this when there is nothing to be gained by withholding this information. If NASA has been on the moon earlier it would have only had implications for the USSR at the time.

    Sheesh... he so quazy.

  • be the devil's advocate...watch his stuff...but don't believe all of it. And if he's right? what do you got to lose but your life?

  • @Avelle34 you are jumping to a diabolic conclusion that 9/11 wasn't rigged...all the screws aren't in the right place.

  • @Avelle34 i already watched it, time has come and gone and he was wrong. no need to watch further until he can provide demonstrable evidence for his supernatural abilities.

  • @V00D00SIXXX so you are telling me EVERYTHING he says is bullshit, although he explicitly says not to believe ANYTHING he says. just because he's wrong about some stuff, it doesn't mean his words can't be tremendously INSPIRING.. and inspiration is what we need to move on. the question comes up, why you have time left to prove someone wrong instead of focussing on your SELF! no offense, i ain't judging, just thinking aloud...

  • @IchbinBauchi his "dont believe me" is nothing more than BS, he's saying dont believe him (he's just the messenger)... believe the info from his sources. thats why he says to go look it up if you dont believe him... unfortunately for him i called his bluff and looked it up.

    Hitler's words were tremendously INSPIRING as well, inspiration without reality is not what is needed to move on. im not here to prove people wrong, but when they so obviously are...i will say so.

  • @IchbinBauchi it's a pshychological thing, by telling the audience to not believe him, they will actually believe him. It's called inversed psychology

  • @V00D00SIXXX You're a mere puppet trying to lure people away from the real truth aka working with the illuminati. Either way true or false I can clearly see that you're not very smart with what you've stated.

  • @mikethedj4 im not just working with the Illuminati... Im the King Shit of Illuminati Fuck Mountain!

  • wondered what this guy was selling...i see its tarot readings, books and seminars...at least, that's what his site seemed to shill.for a minute i thought he'd be selling home emergency kits for that 3+ week period of annihilation...

  • guy is funny, but you are funny too claiming 9/11 wasn't inside job.

  • Does the quatum cooking of chicken in anyway enhance the taste?

  • The man is just giving the plot of the 2012 movie in a creative way. It's awesome.

  • This video is made of win. I like everything about it. Good job, sir. Thanks a lot for the entertainment.

  • Please accept my 'vitriolic, spiteful & bitter' reaction.

    My true self if calling you an 'Asshat' thats 'full of shit'.

    The few stupid people who still follow you now are the grand finalists of Asshatery. I'm now waiting eagerly to see who the winners are, which i expect to be revealed during the next round of failed preditions and backpedaling.

  • Sir, the voices that you hear can`t be from god.

    Seriously, I do not think god would lead you on in this manner. He does not need a test to "see your true face".

    And there would be far easier ways to make people individualy show their faces.

    This fear-mongering is bad.

    Therefore it cannot come from god.

    If you truly are hearing voices they are obviously

    a) in your head or

    b) from some malicious entity, disguising as god.

    So please, knock these videos off until you figure out what is what.

  • First 20 seconds "apollo program was a coverup", that's all i needed to hear. Lol.

  • what a charlatan. fuck you. oh, and fuck your lawyer too! wanker!

  • Trevor Alexander is nuttier than squirrel turds.

  • But that's just it with psychotic people, it's like a little part of their mind KNOWS that it is all bullshit and (in most cases) prevents them from doing something really drastic like killing someone. These people don't sell their houses, they don't build a bunker... It's as if their mind knows it is bullshit but just keeps allowing the delusion.

  • You can almost draw a straight line, between the behavior of these people/devoutly religious people and people who are experiencing a psychosis. Psychotic people will believe some REALLY unsubstantiated stuff, use anything to support their ideas no matter how sketchy but sometimes some real crazy stuff that if a non psychotic person would find out would be the truth would make that person take action even drastic if necessary. cont next comment.

  • What i have noticed about conspiracy theories, is that the promoters of a less extreme version of a conspiracy theory, almost always believe in much more crazy shit as well. Like with 9/11 when people would just say that a shadow government might have funded and informed this group as a part of their "master plan", that idea is actually plausible... But no, that's not what they believe. "They blew it up with detonators,everyone was involved". For example David Icke is also a reptilian believer.

  • An Australian crazy!! I am so proud.

  • @1thatisilluminated quote "You are one of those that belived the earth was flat!"

    really? i dont recall ever believing the earth was flat.

    the funny thing is... time has proven me correct and (to date) everyone peddling this sort of nonsense wrong- yet you say im not ready to understand this information (or as i call it - bullshit).

    jog on.

  • Yeah that man is leading people wrongly and am sure people who attend the class have no spirit of god in them thats why they are looking for stupid things to occupy their hearts

  • @1thatisilluminated It's verbal babble because it's verbal babble. This guy is no different than the "experts" who come on to the Coast to Coast am radio show to peddle fear and desperate facts and also outright bullshit it's listeners.

  • Your Funny!! You should have your own show:)

  • I hope these people didn't actually pay to listen to this tripe.

  • see the thick black line at the bottom it covers what he's talking about, i think retrov is a dangerous psycho that misdirects lonely middle aged women but ive seen the full vid without the thick black line at the bottom and im afraid i have to agree with the psycho..... unfortunately! .. as far as the
