The slow fade into obscurity

Don’t forget folks, Keith Ranville came to Mahone Bay with interest in Little Gooseberry Island and four underwater doors located below the Middle River. He did not arrive in Nova Scotia with visions of Birch Island dancing in his head.


Birch Island is a result of Keith dropping his numerous wacky theories and being left with nothing else to show for his trip to Nova Scotia.


It is a matter of public record fact, for Keith’s original treasure trove application to not have included Birch Island. Further into this blog I offer a copy of Keith’s application, including the DNR charts. These items are a matter of public record and can be viewed at the Department of Natural Resources on Hollis St, Halifax NS.


Birch Island merely stemmed from google earth with the rational of relating a natural feature to the pyramid on the US dollar bill, to Atlantis, etc….

My issue with Keith, as many know, is in the fact of Keith attempting to dupe the general public through solicitation for investment based upon a fraudulent claim which detailed the geological conditions of Birch Island’s surface. He wants you to think someone dug deep down into Birch Island and left evidence on the surface, a claim which he cannot support.


Keith is not the first native to be interested in Oak Island and hopefully he will not be the last. Keith’s accusation of world wide racism towards him is quite laughable and demented. This stems from his lack of accepting folks just do not like him, due to in my opinion, he's a nasty individual who becomes hostile when challenged. One can easily visit many forums which Keith has infected to only see that he has been banned. This is the sole reason for him adopting the blog format.

While Keith may claim or self promote himself to be a legitimate researcher, the problem is his efforts are not grounded in reality.


At one time I had great concern for those folks who may have been duped by Ranville; however, that has not transpired as not a single person in the world has shown themselves to be gullible enough. One may wonder what happened to his movie and book deals, or even what happened to his ghost writing friend, they all seemed to have rightly dropped him.


Keith is once again constructing and punctuating his postings without assistance, and it certainly shows. One must wonder of Keith’s motives, to have others at one time, draft his texts for him.


Unfortunately for Keith, the Nova Scotia government will not grant him a treasure trove license, the Nova Scotia museum will not grant him a Heritage Research Permit, and the owner of Birch Island will not allow him on the property. I suggest the next vehicle he chooses for glory is something which he actually knows something about.

Stunts, Gimicks, and illusions

Readers,


It has been almost a year without reporting on Keith. I walked away from the subject matter and was content for this warning blog to keep folks aware of his lies.


I was drawn back into providing an update on Keith because the very nature of his latest illusion is highly misleading and alarming.


Unfortunately a forum administrator was duped by Ranville into gaining moderator status for the Oak Island related discussion. Keith took it upon himself to delete from that forum, any and all criticisms that were directed towards him or his wacky ideas.


Rightly so, the administrator banned Ranville from the forum. Since that time, Ranville has called the administrator a Nazi. This is not the first time Keith has used the word Nazi to describe people who have banned him.


While the above might alarm some, what is more important is Keith’s new attention grabbing trickery of deleting his own materials around the net and then blaming this on the actions of others. While he claims armies of German hackers have cracked computer systems and servers around the world, I suggest no one is really that interested in him and that he has done this himself.

Readers, his most recent claim is nothing more than an attention grabbing stunt to promote his ‘poor me’ illusion.

The following link is his latest venom tool and is clear evidence the medication is not working.

He cries once again...poor poor me....

Keith’s latest unfound slander is nothing new. Unfounded allegations of racism are what got him previously banned from many forums.

Keith’s shout of racism is odd, in that it spews from the only person who attaches any type of ethnicity to Oak Island by claiming to be a native shaman treasure hunter, or by spamming “Oak Island Treasure Native News” etc.

Yes, Keith is a native, or so he claims. Keith claiming to be a native didn’t stop people from initially welcoming him, even helping him while he was in Nova Scotia.

First rejected for his foul language and bizarre conducted and then caught lying in his attempts to solicit funds for investment, plain and simple. Poorly received by the virtual Oak Island community has nothing to do with Keith being a native.

I’m glad to see those internet sites with active administrators delete his trash as quickly as he posts it and followed by an account deletion.

Thanks

Thank you to all those who have linked back to this blog in efforts of providing the truth about Keith's investment scheme.

Keith is still without land owner permission, still without a treasure trove license, and still without a heritage research permit.

In all likelihood, Keith will never return to Nova Scotia.

Keith is still manufacturing information to suit his needs

How does Keith breath when he's up to his eyeballs in BS?

You have read Keith's original whacky translation was based upon the wrong cipher from an author named Snow. Snow added characters and there is nothing secret about it, except perhaps to Keith.

On the Sly, Keith then adopted the (what is thought to be) correct 37 character version. Now Keith has a problem which is trying to make his whacky translation fit!

So what does Keith do?

Why he just manufactures information as required. You can tell from my posts below, this clown does not even know where the Money Pit is located, never mind the relationship of some stones.


Keith writes,

The Oak Island stone triangle points north with a dividing stone line through it' directional straight up to the money pit. For some reason the stone triangle also pointed seven degrees west of the money pit, I believe this seven degrees off was because the stone triangle could line up with the two drilled stones at a right angle' the drilled stones were found north and north east of the money pit.

That is simply not true. I suggest Keith should stop manufacturing information to suit his theories; however, what would he have if he didn't?. The Triangle intersected the north east corner of the Hedden shaft, which in turn overlapped the eastern 1/2 of the Money Pit. In reality, this dividing line of the triangle actually was a few degrees east of the Money Pit.

Oh that is rich!

Keith says

"Where does the stories begin and end when it comes to Oak Island, the story pitches can get very outlandish ranging from leprechauns to war subs in Mahone bay. Folk lore is big business when it come to oak island and it's whatever captivates the imagination on a mass scale."

Of all the people!

He still has it wrong

Would you trust a supposed self proclaimed Oak Island researcher who cannot even locate the famous Money Pit?

My posting below shows Keith was off the mark, so what did he do? Why he recently published another photo, but this time drew a circle around the area...and still didn't enclose the Money Pit!!!



The structure within Keith's circle to the left is borehole 10x, the depression to the right side is known as the Cave In pit.

Mayan Indian kings...lol
