this article reminds me of something from this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon%E2%80%93Ehrlich_wager

Wired:

All of [Ehrlich's] grim predictions had been decisively overturned by events. Ehrlich was wrong about higher natural resource prices, about "famines of unbelievable proportions" occurring by 1975, about "hundreds of millions of people starving to death" in the 1970s and '80s, about the world "entering a genuine age of scarcity." In 1990, for his having promoted "greater public understanding of environmental problems," Ehrlich received a MacArthur Foundation Genius Award." [Simon] always found it somewhat peculiar that neither the Science piece nor his public wager with Ehrlich nor anything else that he did, said, or wrote seemed to make much of a dent on the world at large. For some reason he could never comprehend, people were inclined to believe the very worst about anything and everything; they were immune to contrary evidence just as if they'd been medically vaccinated against the force of fact. Furthermore, there seemed to be a bizarre reverse-Cassandra effect operating in the universe: whereas the mythical Cassandra spoke the awful truth and was not believed, these days "experts" spoke awful falsehoods, and they were believed. Repeatedly being wrong actually seemed to be an advantage, conferring some sort of puzzling magic glow upon the speaker.[8]

This man reminds me of this

Seriously.  You publish this?  People believe him?

His new commanding officer at Coos Bay transferred him to Washington D.C. He resigned from the Navy in 1985 as a Lieutenant, having been passed over for promotion. Madsen described himself as the "most senior lieutentant in the Navy"[10] at the time of his resignation and has blamed his lack of advance on a powerful group of pedophiles hidden in the top of the U.S. Navy ranks.  Or this:

In 2005, he wrote than an unidentified former CIA agent claimed that the USS Cole was actually hit by a Popeye cruise missile launched from an Israeli Dolphin-class submarine.[22]

Of course the best evidence is of this persons detachment from reality is when he ventures into reality.  That is areas of actual science.

In April 25, 2009, Madsen suggested that some unidentified UN World Health Organization officials and scientists believed the 2009 new H1N1 strain of swine flu virus appeared to be the product of U.S. military sponsored gene splicing, as opposed to natural processes, citing as evidence the presence of genetic material from strains not occurring in pigs (such as bird flu and different forms of human flu), 

This "citing of evidence"  is really just a demonstration of ignorance of basic biology and laziness in not looking up anything about how viruses behave.  No wonder he got bounced out of the navy.

The only thing he demonstrates is how stupidity is spreading
