Caught Pretending to Verify the Final Experiment Dates

An expedition called “The Final Experiment” was sent to Antarctica in December 2024 with the stated objective of proving there is a 24-hour sun in Antarctica. The hope of the expedition leader, Will Duffy, was that establishing that there is a 24-hour sun in Antarctica would disprove the flat earth and in turn prove the earth is a spinning globe. A team of flat earth shills and globe proponents allegedly succeeded in proving there is a 24-hour sun in Antarctica. The links at the end of this article set forth evidence of video manipulation. The Final Experiment was not an experiment at all, but a massive fraud. Dave Mckeegan and Jeran Campanella were two participants in the sham.

At the 3:50 mark of Dave Mckeegan’s alleged December 15, 2024, live stream from the second camp from Antarctica, Dave Mckeegan announced that it was 21:05 (9:05 p.m.) local time in Antarctica. At the 24:50 mark in the video, Mckeegan discusses the importance of obtaining a local newspaper in Punta Arenas to prove The Final Experiment event dates. He explained that they all discussed current news as a means of verification as “a potential hurdle.” Verifying the date in a video with a current news report is as easy as eating apple pie. How could McKeegan and the others think it was a hurdle? It is only a hurdle if you cannot do it because it is impossible.

Mckeegan sheepishly explained that they planned on getting a newspaper while in Punta Arenas to verify the date, but… wait for it … they “forgot.” He then explained that Jeran showed some national sports scores to verify the date while at Punta Arenas Airport.

But if you watch Jeran’s video, he was supposed to be at the Punta Arenas Airport on December 14, 2024, but he did not verify that date. If you look at the 10:40 mark of his video, Jeran showed the date on his phone, which, as any electronic device, can be easily manipulated to display any date.  Incidentally, I was able to zoom in and read the date and time on Lisbeth Acosta’s phone at the 26:05 mark in Jeran’s video while she was on the alleged flight from Punta Arenas and Antarctica. Her phone displayed “11:26” and “December 14.” While at the airport, Jeran then showed a news report from December 12, 2024, about the Thursday Night Football score. All Jeran had to do was stop at one of the ubiquitous newsstands in the airport and video the front page of the current newspaper. Instead, he displayed two-day-old news. Granted it was a late news report (11:04 p.m.) on December 12, 2024, but that still leaves one day unaccounted. Jeran livestreamed from Punta Arenas the night of December 11, 2024, but it was also after the sun had set. Jeran again livestreamed from Punta Arenas on December 12, 2024, after 11:30 p.m., after the sun had set. He also appeared in a livestream on December 13, 2024, from Punta Arenas, again, in the late night after the sun had set. There were no sunrise or sunset livestreams from Punta Arenas although they were there for three nights and mornings and had plenty of opportunity to do so. I asked Jeran for those livestreams and he has not responded with them. The significance of not conducting sunrise and sunset livestreams I have reported in my article, The Bible Reveals the Trickery of the Final Experiment.

At the 26:34 mark in Dave McKeegan’s video, he pulls out his phone to verify that he is in Antarctica on December 15, 2024. And lo-and-behold he reads an article posted about the NASA Voyager on … wait for it … December 13, 2024. So we have two instances of participants in The Final Experiment attempting to verify they are where they say they are on the dates they claim but fail to do so. McKeegan was correct, it was a “hurdle” for them to verify their dates because the videos were pre-recorded at least two days earlier. That is why they could not verify the current dates with current news.

Jeran shows a football game score reported on December 12, 2024, in his attempt to verify he was at the Punta Arenas Airport on December 14, 2024. Mckeegan shows an article dated December 13, 2024, in his attempt to verify he was in Antarctica on December 15, 2024. The article was not a news event that could be verified. It was a commentary on the significance of the alleged recent discoveries of the (mythical) NASA probes. It is interesting that of all the means of verification, McKegan picks an article about NASA.

The article that McKeegan cited was published in Scientific American, which is owned by Springer Nature. NASA has a close relationship with Springer Nature. NASA and Springer Nature collaborate and partner on many projects. Notably, the article cited by McKeegan has been modified extensively since it was allegedly first published on December 13, 2024. That, in and of itself, is not suspicious, but it is suspicious that McKeegan would seek to verify the date of his presence in Antarctica by citing, not a news event, but an article publication date, which is something that can be manipulated. And then to have the article published by a company that has close ties with NASA, and the article is about NASA, is just a little too suspicious. But hang on to your hats, it gets worse.

There is other evidence suggesting that McKeegan’s alleged live chat on December 15th was not truly live. At the 59:30 mark, one of the livestream chatters asked a question. “Proof of date: What was the Scottish Cup result?” Mckeegan then gives a Scottish Cup result for November 30, 2024, to prove that he was livestreaming on December 15, 2024.

That makes no sense. The November 30th score does not prove that McKeegan was in Antarctica on December 15th. The chatter is portraying himself as a soccer fan who would know the dates of play for the Scottish Cup. Why would someone on December 15th ask for proof of presence in Antarctica on December 15th using the Scottish Cup scores, knowing that there were no Scottish Cup games after December 2nd? Note: do not confuse the Scottish Cup (a.k.a. Scottish Football Association Challenge Cup) with the Scottish League Cup (a.k.a., Premier Sports Cup). They are not the same thing. McKeegan was asked for, and he gave, the Scottish Cup scores, not the Scottish League Cup scores.

Obviously, the chatter was asking the question on or about November 30th about the Scottish Cup, knowing that there were only two Scottish Cup game dates during the month of December (December 1st and 2nd). and Play was not scheduled to start up again for the Scottish Cup until January 17, 2025. It’s notable that McKeegan chose to give a game score for November 30th. He could have just been lazy, but that would go against his persona as a careful documentarian. It could also be that he was in Antarctica after the November 30th score results were reported and before the reporting of the December 1st and 2nd scores and thus could not give those later scores. All that the November 30th soccer score reporting by McKeegan tells us is that he was in Antarctica after November 30th. That is hardly a “proof of date.” It is what was asked for during the alleged live chat, but both the request and the response were quite suspicious.

The livestreams were pre-recorded but played on December 15th to make it appear that they were live. That is why McKeegan could not cite a news event on December 15th.  He was relegated to giving an easily fabricated publication date for a two-day-old article. He then gives a soccer score from two weeks earlier, which only establishes that he was in Antarctica on or after November 30th. The key to understanding why McKeegan acted as he did is Duffy’s failure to call Steve during his alleged livestream. Duffy couldn’t call Steve live because he was not streaming live. That suggest that some of the livestreams were pre-recorded. That single failure by Duffy to call Steve live as Duffy had promised reveals what they were doing. They were playing videos of pre-recorded fake livestreams.

These things were being done by two participants who knew how important it was to verify the dates because they were on notice that people would be suspicious that the events would be pre-recorded and manipulated. Indeed, it was strange that there were no other attempts by any of the other participants to verify dates, even though McKeegan said it was discussed by all of them as “a potential hurdle.” The failure to verify the dates was not due to forgetfulness or incompetence, it was due to impossibility. They didn’t do it because they couldn’t do it. The entire event was pre-recorded and posted with manipulated videos containing CGI backgrounds with fake mountains, sky, clouds, and sun.

Indeed, they were in a tough spot. They knew that they would be criticized for not verifying the dates through reporting current news. But they were unable to do that because they were lying about the dates. So they pretended to verify the dates by showing the earliest news available, which was two days before the date on which they claimed to be recording their videos. That was the best they could do. So they went went with it. But the failed attempt to verify the dates reveals that the videos were recorded at least two days earlier.

Add to that the telling statements made by filmmaker Jonathan Marianda. Marianda’s statements suggest that the group had been in Antarctica for many days before December 15th. As he was narrating his alleged December 15, 2024, livestream video he let the cat out of the bag. He stated:

There is a camp where we’re going to now. Where we’ve been going every day for breakfast lunch and dinner. Well, for one day for breakfast lunch and dinner. And now our second day breakfast lunch and dinner. We arrived, like I said, 5:00 p.m. yesterday, got through a little bit of orientation at the camp and then they took us up here. … We’ve been sleeping on the floor on mats. And these sleeping bags; I really only got like 3 hours of sleep this week. A couple people were on this trip that slept as little as I did. In one case didn’t sleep at all. And beautiful, so we have two more days here.

The camp Marianda mentioned was Union Glacier Camp. He seemed to forget that they were supposed to have only arrived in Antarctica the day before (December 14, 2024) at 5:00 p.m. But he said that they had already “been going every day for breakfast lunch and dinner.” He realized that he let the cat out of the bag so he amended his statement to say he meant “for one day for breakfast lunch and dinner.” Then he slipped up again. After explaining how they slept on the floor on mats in sleeping bags at the second camp form where he was narrating he said “I really only got like 3 hours of sleep this week.” Wait a minute, he said that they arrived the day prior at 5:00 p.m. but now he is explaining his lack of sleep for the past “week” that he has been there. Indeed, many continuity errors indicated the alleged livestreams were not live but manipulated pre-recorded videos.
