From our Readers

“PCN is the most amazing and most important publishing and I greatly look forward to every issue. Keep up the wonderful work!!!”
–Germany

“You are following the world class parameter.”
–India

“Masterly work as always. The whole edition is great!!”

“I am confident that the Pleistocene Coalition has such a vast wealth of information that anyone who tries to argue against it only demonstrates an obstinate disdain for the truth …Whatever you do, DON’T stop doing it!”

“You have established a ‘corridor’ between University Archaeology and ‘Ancient Aliens,’ neither of which is correct. By its nature, University Archaeologists must adhere to their circa early 1900’s origin and cling to the funding pole around which it is tethered. They do not have the resources, facilities, knowledge, or desire to risk their university positions on new discoveries, with a few exceptions. ... In the meantime, you and your staff are to be congratulated for adding real scientific data to real world knowledge.”
–physicist

“The last issue of PCN is again a masterpiece in layout and content—congratulations for you and your coworkers!”

“Fantastic issue!”

"THANK YOU for PC. …This knowledge should belong to us all, and not be held down and perverted under the brooding pinions of anti-scientists and anti-thinkers. …I found PC through reading about Virginia Steen-Macintyre. …I can’t believe that your publications go back to 2009 and I’m only just hearing about this now!”
–Spain

“Great job belling the cat. …Thematically, a seamless monolithic issue.”

“You folks are draining the swamp. The aim of the Pleistocene Coalition is in action.”
–paleontologist

“Your statement is superb. I’ve forwarded it to skeptical friends influenced by the views of the anthro establishment. Keep up the good work. It is much appreciated.”

“This is exactly the sort of thing that starts an academic revolution and attacks the suppression of knowledge. High marks to PC!”

“The last PCN issue arrived well, thank you very much! We again understand what it means to get all the information together and put it into such an interesting publication.”

“Congratulations for another excellent PCN issue. …With all the best wishes to you and your wonderful team.”

"All of you are complimented and respected for your research, integrity, and courage.”
-Attorney

“As always, the PCN Newsletter is ...one of the only top-notch sources of archaeological sanity out there.”

“Thank you John and other editors; Looks like another fascinating read! In appreciation …down under.”
–Australia

“Very impressive newsletter.”

“I must commend you and the other editors for one of the finest Journals that tells it like it is found in nature.”

“Thank you very much for your very impressive Pleistocene Coalition News.”
-Archaeologist

“I do not know where you all get the energy and the drive from, but good on you.”
-Australia

“Dear John and all, I...appreciate all that you do. I thank you for it greatly…I greatly appreciate your efforts from my own journal’s viewpoint.”
–Archaeologist

“I will…indeed let my colleagues in the different centers I have been working in know about the work you are doing.”

“All issue looks great, as always!”
–Romania

“Thanks, John, and thanks for keeping this going for all these years! I've saved all of them.”

“Dear John, Virginia, Tom, and Rick...if you feel anything work related to academics, you are always welcome.”
–India

“Your website is a huge…treasure we are overjoyed to be privileged to have access to.”
–Spain

“Your site continues to always impress me.”

“Its pretty incredible what you have all put together.”

“All articles are fascinating. The Nebra Disc, Paiute petroglyph and the aboriginal rendering of the Pleiades knocks the socks off me! This entire issue is also very provocative and makes the point of the Coalition quite well throughout all the articles. Anthropology is useless unless it is based on truth.”

“I admire the tenacity and fearlessness of the authors in this issue and their determination to keep deconstructing the traditional dogma.”

“Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could open a school dedicated to teaching the enormously important work you folks are doing? If the subjects are important to our species they should be taught to our youth to give them some sense of history and our place in it… or at the very least made accessible to them. …Since the standard timeline has been choreographed ad nauseam, and the non-standard covered up systematically by the Smithsonian, I wonder if there’s another way we could do it and make it easier for you as well as more widely accepted. …The MOST important aspect of what you’re doing is that you are truth seekers and your methodologies are priceless. ...a school worth attending.”

“Perhaps with an open, public forum such as PC, honest and innovative academics will now have a light to guide their way. Please do...keep me on your mailing list.”

“I have intuition this has potential to cause a stir in the greater world.”
-Anthropologist

“Congratulations for the fantastic achievement! I am impressed by your energy and results.”

“An awesome issue.”
-Archaeologist

“I have read every page with interest. … It is something that will start to erode the stubborn entrenchment of the archeological establishment.”

“Do any of your contributors have videos of their work? ... Would they/do they have coursework set up for students? I believe that Public Education is killing itself and will be replaced by free market solutions. … Would there be any interest in creating courses in what your contributors are finding?”

“Congratulations on 50 issues of PCN. What an Achievement! Since it now appears that mainstream academics are going to have no choice but to accept what you’ve been saying all along (as more finds push back the record), it’s great to know there is already documentation that you all knew this was the case long ago. I just hope at some point it comes out that they refused to give your ideas serious consideration and stood in their way. …History has a way of sorting it all out in the end, although vindication sometimes comes too late to be enjoyed by the vindicated. I can only imagine how much work it has taken to produce 50 wonderfully informative issues. I for one, have learned a lot more about prehistory. …THANK YOU! I will continue to spread the word about PCN at every opportunity.”

“Dear John and Team, thank you very much for this wonderful volume.”

“I would quote from Margaret Mead: ‘Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.’ [And] from Steve Jobs: ‘The ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones that do.’”
–Medical field“

“As usual, EXCELLENT.”

“Please accept my congratulations for your faith and fight.”
–Art professor

“PCN is...one of the best anthro newsletters out there, definitely the most lively and exciting, not only content but its format, and with an exploding niche given all the incredible things being found. ...This one is more like a celebration of data.”
–Archaeologist

“Compliments to all of you for your efforts and integrity. Per the motto at one of my Alma Maters, Fight on!”
–Attorney

“GREAT issue. Thank you.”

“What a page-turner Issue 47 is! Superb job!”
–Geologist

“I use this opportunity to congratulate you again for the great work you are doing. My cousin from Canada...is fascinated by your courageous work and uses PC to teach his children the hidden [pre]history of the world.”

“John; Your ‘scattered thoughts’ are SPOT-ON! I see the ripples are getting bigger! I thank you and the team (and contributors) for making the ‘dogma’ lay down! I sincerely appreciate each PCN’s arrival. –Down under.”
-Australia

“Over many years I have followed the work of some of your members hoping to see it enlighten the paleoarchaeological establishment as the old passed... Because our quarry and efforts have always been private I have lived in between the various Politically Correct groups of the times and so identify with your members challenges and appreciate the wisdom you all put forth.”
–Paleontologist

“It just goes to show you that holding the Establishment’s feet to the fire sometimes pays off.”

“Had my first read of Issue 45 this evening. My compliments to you all!”

“I was so happy to see the new issue and the piece on Valsequillo!”
–Professional author

“You folks at the Pleistocene Coalition are great. Keep up the good work.”
–Paleontologist

“Congratulations for your continuous effort to reveal the truth! Thank you!”
–Anthropologist

“Thank you for the wonderful and important work you are doing. I am a keen reader and very much looking forward to the next issue.–Kind regards from Germany.”
-Germany

“I read and re-read the #42 issue; it is absolutely fantastic!!”

“I want to thank you very much for the wonderful gift: the #40 PCN.”

“Awaiting your latest. Keep up your extraordinary work.”

“I wish you all the best for 2016 … you and your marvelous team.”

“I have all the praise and respect for you and the team. They leave no stone unturned to bring about and maintain credibility of PCN, individually and of an excellent team spirit.”

“John, Virginia, Tom, and David, Thank you, as always, for your hard work, it is much appreciated!”

“A colleague [who reads PCN says] it’s like a bag of peanuts, he starts with intention to read one article, then the next, and the next, cannot stop until he reads everything.”

“Many thanks for sending me the latest edition of PCN, which I am already enjoying reading. Your publication has been of immense help to me in conducting my own research.”

“I can’ t believe you’ve published 38 issues—truly amazing! At a glance, the new issue looks really interesting (as usual), can’t wait to read it.”

“When doing significant work you are NEVER behind.”

“Thank you for all the hard work bringing PC News to us! ... I really enjoy and appreciate reading PCN; and I typically read the articles several times so as to fully understand what the author is saying.”

“Wow! …Your site is amazing! It has really helped me sleep. I’ve been going a little crazy thinking I was seeing things.”

“All the articles are superb! … I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. ...The Pleistocene Coalition represents a constructive means for getting to the new paradigm by its exposition of evidence the public would never see otherwise… and its open-ended point of view.”

“[We] wanted to thank you and the eds. … They seem to be getting better all the time. I had no idea about the Cincinnatian Ordovician Formation being such a singularly important place of study.… breakthrough publication!”

“I am happy and extremely grateful to you and your entire team for your efforts and dedication. The articles I have had the opportunity of reading are fascinating and open new perspectives. I have introduced my… boys...to your work and contrasted some information they are presently being given in school as factually indisputable with some of the facts (not mentioned in school) that your newsletter provides. It was quite an experience for them and has prompted them to ask a lot more questions than before, not least of their own teachers, some of whom have discovered they had to do some more research themselves. I wish you and your team all the success and sincerely hope that PCN will become more visible to more readers and not just in scientific circles.”

“Hey—that embedded sound-file idea in the Leakey article is very cool!”

“I already knew that you and your entire team are volunteers which is another reason for me to be so thankful for PCN. Once again all our thanks for your and your team's great work and we are looking forward to more PCN issues. Wishing you all the best.”

“Congratulations to all for ending this year with this great latest issue. ... PC obviously strikes a chord and serves as inspiration to a lot of like-minded people.”

“Congratulations to all the team! Waiting for #42.”

“Every issue keeps getting better.”

“Congratulations for the successful publication. I can understand your and your team’s hard work. Thanking you with respected regards.”

“Thank you for your continued efforts in publishing the very informative Web Journal the Pleistocene Coalition News.”

“Fantastic! Thank you very, very much!!!”

“I am attracted to what you guys are doing because of the mentality of courage that looking at history without fear necessitates.”

“After recently reading Dullum, Lynch and Urbaniak's articles, I have to say they are absolutely splendid!”

“Just found your site and love it. …Thank you for your site and making me feel I’m not insane.”

“If it ever comes out that there has been a conspiracy to keep us in the dark about history, then the whole works falls apart—all the way up to the closed doors in D.C. and the storage buildings of the Smithsonian.”

“Dear John, Virginia, Tom, David as well as all your PCN team of volunteers, My family and I wanted to thank you again for your efforts and for the great articles you have been providing us. PCN has been a great source of educational information and a great help to me personally, as I am trying to provide my small sons with accurate, scientific information sadly too often lacking in the materials their school uses. Knowledge of human history is primordially important as it shapes our world outlook and having the PCN resources available has been very helpful and welcome in developing their capacity for critical thinking, not to mention being great reading and learning for my wife and I and our circle of friends with whom I have been sharing your newsletter. We hope you will keep producing these articles which are both interesting and necessary and I have no doubt that your circle of readers will keep expanding. With all our thanks we wish you all the best while we look forward to the next PCN issue!”

“An absolutely magnificent issue!”

“Best PCN yet! Keep up the hard focus.”

“Another wonderful issue, as per usual.”

“Congratulations for the new PC issue. … I am near PC’s team in the battle against the lie.”

“[I am] delighted with the new PCN issue.”

“I admire your battle against the official paradigm and I am on your side.”

“I found the new PCN issue; was overjoyed.”

“Issue 35 is a jaw dropper! Congratulations!”

A note about our readership: Apart from anonymous readers, the readers of PCN who have told us their professions include researchers and professors, PhD students, and authors in psychology, neuroscience, linguistics (and other anthropology), biology (including MD’s), microbiology, geology, paleontology (incl. Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology–published), mathematics professors, physics, astronomy, paleoastronomy, philosophy, the arts (including the performance arts from music, dance and theater to film and installation art) as well as art history. Our readership also includes many engineers, a few NASA associates, those in politics, law, and others.

An important observation: We sometimes receive messages from those who have spent entire careers in mainstream science— fieldwork, teaching, and publishing in those contexts—but who said they were ‘afraid’ or, at the very least, reluctant to investigate conflicting evidence in anthropology, etc., until “after” they retired. That shows there is a trait in modern science that punishes objectivity and critical thinking when it comes to human prehistory. True science encourages those traits as ideals.

“I should write back much more regularly to these sterling editions that arrive in my e-mail! Please accept my kudos and congrats on another spectacular, enlightening, and mind-bending issue of PCN. Your efforts, and the organization’s, are so necessary to bringing awareness to the science community. Especially when, as the commentary astutely points out, religious views and political paradigms would block peoples’ minds from considering something objectively. Carl Sagan’s commentary on human reaction is so spot on. It helps relieve the chafing frustration, gives me a better handle on understanding why there is so much resistance in the ‘mainstreamers’ to accept evidence when it stares them in the face. Would that such evidence had actual teeth to bite them and make them wake up to reality! ... Keep up the superb quality of publication.”

“I subscribe to this online magazine and it is a fascinating production with some AMAZING history-busting evidence from the world of paleontology.”

“Thank you very much again for sending PCN—the last issue is marvelous.”

“I continue to be very impressed with the Pleistocene Coalition! It is refreshing to have such open minded scientists that contribute to the site.”

“Re: Fifth Anniversary Issue, Pleistocene Coalition News … Bravo for this exceptional issue!”

“Congratulations on reaching this landmark—it’s a great achievement! History will remember you for it—in addition to the current dialogue; you, Virginia, Tom, and David have created a public record which will be evermore important as time progresses.”

“Congratulations! Fifth Anniversary Issue, Pleistocene Coalition News. ... You do a great job!”

“Just another great issue!! I am astounded at your dedication along with Virginia, and of course others, in producing such a great piece of work month in and month out.”

“You all have done a marvelous job on Issue 29 of the Pleistocene Coalition publication. Each new issue shows improved skills and significant content. The weight of evidence is becoming overwhelming.”

“Probably the best journal out there for cutting edge research.”

“Pleistocene Coalition News. I can understand what a huge commitment this is.”

“You have developed a more than first class publication and resource.”

“What [an] incredible job you and the others are doing. ... PCN is leaving behind a legacy that will probably shape what comes along in this century. Great stuff. And thanks so much for all you have done and are doing, and this goes for everyone involved. ... awesome.”

“What a fantastic issue! Congratulations to all.”

“The entire issue is fascinating. … Looking forward to more issues of PCN hammering away at ignorance!!”

“I am in full agreement with you on our (Canada too) extremely narrow education system. … This seems to even extend into the universities, so even at this age our young people are not able to at least hear the various views that extend to so many areas of science. This includes the subject area as covered by your very fine publication. ... extremely valuable contribution... We have so very little to be enthused about if we are only subject to the mainstream dogma so very prevalent in science today.”

“I admire very much your work and courage … PC is a very important contribution to contemporary knowledge.”

“You are doing a heroic job. … I have saved every copy.”

“Even some people from Australia’s mainstream ... ‘behind the scenes’... have often expressed admiration for the PCN profile, for your courage, tenacity and willingness to tackle sensitive and controversial topics, exposing dishonesty in mainstream science.”

“Wonderfully done, as have been the earlier Issues.”

“This was a great year for the PCN, sending ripples across the world.”

“Thank you for the PCN last issue and congratulations for the new remarkable contribution to prehistory.”

“A pleasure to read all the well edited and vividly illustrated papers!”

“You guys are my heroes!”

“Congratulations of your being able to continue to your most valuable publication, the Pleistocene News. The Pleistocene News serves the purpose of countering the huge amount of dogma and rhetoric that surround so many scientific subject areas.”

“You are living history—keep it going.”

“The PCN editors formulated an unparalleled webzine-profile, the importance of which will only be fully appreciated by future generations—with the benefit of hindsight.”

“You might not remember who I am: a young archaeologist who thinks for himself. I now study as a postgraduate student at Oxford...There is a young, independent generation coming of age now. We will change this world, for the better. Keep your hopes up friends. This battle is far from over. Take care, and keep up the good work.”
-Archaeologist

“Well stated and appreciated! Many of your readers and supporters, including me, appreciate your positions and what you are accomplishing...calling attention to paradigm shortfalls and vested interest deflections. You fill a key niche in science, so keep up the good, honesty-driven, pure ‘love of science’ work as best you can under the intense pressures that are obviously involved.”

“Objectively and critically inspiring.”

“The articles are fascinating. …You are truly in a David and Goliath situation. However… I know more and more people are reading your newsletters and spreading the word.”
-High School Teacher

-Reader to a colleague and cc'd to PCN

“Really enjoyed this one!”

“Congratulations to you and the Team!”

“Kindly continue sending.”

“Congratulations! Fifth Anniversary Issue, Pleistocene Coalition News. ... You do a great job!”

“I really liked the last issue of PCN, the best yet!!”

“It appears to me that we are entering a time of enlightenment. … The Common Core blindly agreed to by state governments is opening people’s eyes to what was always there. People pick and choose what they want the history and science to be. ...With Common Core people are finally looking at what is listed as common and determining that they don’t want it.”

“Congratulations for the last PC issue! Very good indeed!”

“Thank you for tremendous effort of scientific journal publication.”

“Very well done—many thanks and admiration for you and your co-editors.”

“Congratulations on what you are achieving.”

“Thank you very much for your comprehensive and interesting letter showing how PCN developed...demonstrating which efforts you and your coworkers put into this most useful and important work...We as the readers (and authors) are glad to have such a neutral platform which is not bound on wrong suggestions or restrictions. Keep on! Best wishes and warm regards to all of you!”

“Was finally able to view the new Pleistocene Gallery. What a delight!”

“A fascinating production.”

“Many thanks...I do appreciate the excellent magazine and I will certainly check out the gallery. The title of your email had me worried for a second. I initially read it as meaning there would be no more Pleistocene Coalition News. It would have been sorely missed! Yours in appreciation.”

“I was saddened and concerned for Virginia and her wellbeing while going through such a difficult time…and completely forgot to congratulate the editors on the great new PC issue and...on starting such an intriguing project with the gallery.”

“Fascinating! How do I join so that I can share in your TRUTH seeking? Sincere thanks in advance.”
