Exposed: Media fabricated 'empty tents' story at OccupyLSX

Following all the media hype (Telegraph, The Times, Daily Mail, Daily Express) about 'empty tents' at OccupyLSX we decided to check out whether their thermal imaging evidence was true.

We got hold of *exactly* the same thermal imaging camera and showed that - surprise, surprise - you can't tell when people are in their tents.

So don't believe the lies - come down to OccupyLSX and join the vibrant community of people working for a better world. http://occupylsx.org

Cause they correctly assumed people would overlook the line at the bottom. And it helps further their adgendas.

What was the point in releasing the article if they knew it was wrong ...

[Starman117]

The media admitted at the very bottom of their articles that military experts told them they had the wrong type of camera to see through the tents. Not that many people thought to read that far.

I have to say that thermal imaging cameras detect surface temperature, they cannot see you in the tent but they will see the tent heat up. This would happen if you stayed in your tent for an extended period of time. Don't think you are clever by disappearing for 10 seconds. Go and learn how heat is transferred and dissipated.

To those saying that this video does NOT disprove the Telegraph, Times, Daily Mail, Daily Express - please head on over to the ORIGINAL VIDEO for proof (Thermal imaging at protest camps shows....mp4) 0:42 - A person is stepping out of a tent. The tent is completely black, you can only see the parts of the person who are OUTSIDE the tent. Their leg which is still inside the tent cannot be seen at all. Is that NOT proof enough that the original video does not prove the tents are empty as claimed.

nice one :-)

Okay one last try: you can not heat a tent more than your body loses. In a open volume, like a tent, that heat lose is spread evenly by entropy then it heats the face of the tent. You are just desperately grasping at straws and wasting my time. Or put even more simply, when you sleep at night under blankets do you heat the wall of your room any significant amount? No.

It's not the volume that matters but the mass of fluids. Anyway you are forgetting that us warm-blooded creatures generate heat constantly and we have to lose this heat to our environment to stay alive. You are the one who needs to go back to school.
