It astonishes us that so many people continue to fall for the malicious con job of "Persephone" even after she has revealed herself to be little more than an amateur videographer with delusions of self-importance.

Nothing she's shown us could not have been faked, save for her run-in with Dr. Mittelwerk, and that didn't result in anything but some pixelated screenshots of some irrelevant land in Canada. And the conversation with the "head" of the Vik Institute? Isn't it obvious that the reason no one can find any trace of the guy is because that was an actor Rachel Blake hired to participate in her little movie?

And now she has all these gullible geeks out there chasing down a mathematician whose equation allegedly predicts the end of the world.

As we've argued previously, isn't the more likely explanation that the pubisher of Gary Troup's book on this Valenzetti pulled it from the market after it become clear to them that Troup had written a book of fiction and sold it to them as non-fiction?

This entire affair would be laughable if not for the continuing damage this Rachel Blake is causing to the reputation of The Hanso Foundation. Not to mention the damage she's causing by tricking all of her followers into becoming fools and dupes.
