Dr. Cook Killed Robert Scott!

"Robert Scott never would have died if Dr. Cook had not faked reaching the North Pole! Peary was planning to reach South Pole and would have done so...thus saving Scott from himself."

Scott with his "death march" crew reached the South Pole only to learn that Amundsen had beaten them to it. Amundsen employed teams of dogs—just the way Henson & Peary did to such brilliant success at the North Pole. Scott, unfortunately, used his men in place of dogs until the work killed them all. But as in most things in life, the person who does things correctly, and uneventfully, get little attention and the one who screws up and suffers gets all the attention. Scott is a big deal to the British and the subject of books, films, and plays. Amundsen is all but forgotten.

These are actual diary entries showing the advanced plans Peary had been making to take his team to Antarctica. He was lining up men, financing, promotion, equipment, etc.

"Peary Antarctic Arctic Club give financial start to Antarctic project. Join with some scientific society. Officers from Navy Life Pres. Nat Geog. In Antarctic work make milk ration 2 tins per day for 4 men? Saxin or saccharine part of regular rations. Have 2 small 2" Florence stoves each party. Henson Pattern sledge, cooker, lamp & stoves etc. for Antarctic. Gushue Ship models for Antarctic. Marvin Clothing models. Self. General Plans & details. Have Dr. Wiley analyze pemmican. Increase amount of fat (5% to 10%?) xx Double amount quantity of raisins. Sugar remain same. Decrease meat fibre by [inserted:] amount increase fat. No preservatives or glass. Pemmican (crew) in 12 lb. tins in 1 lb. cakes. (about 6' x 4' x 1 1/2' same size as present tins) Special design for oil & alcohol tins. Aluminum tea machines & small lamp stove, funnels & pails." Peary Diary

Recently discovered documents (Peary's now public North Pole Diary) indicate that Robert E. Peary had planned to reach the South Pole! He was going to organize an expedition immediately upon return to America from the North Pole in 1909. Peary would have easily reached the South Pole, thus saving Scott from killing himself and his entire expedition.

Famed polar expert Paul Landry says Henson & Peary would have had "a holiday" at the South Pole. He says that it is easy compared to the Arctic Ocean:

"The South Pole ...was really easy. Almost every day I would think or say: "Scott died out here?" Henson and Peary would of had a holiday down there after what they went through in the North. Being in Antarctica made me realize even more how great and experienced Matt and Peary were...."
Paul Landry, "World's Greatest Living Polar Traveler"

But because Dr. Cook announced his polar hoax it diverted all public attention and the resultant funding opportunities Peary needed. Peary was unable to dash off to the South Pole.

Without the "sure thing" of a Peary expedition to the South Pole British and Norwegian rivals rushed to Antarctica in a mad race to be the first to claim the last great geographic prize that existed.

Shocking evidence proves that Dr. Cook Killed the British South Pole expedition team of Robert Scott!

Robert Falcon Scott hastily dashed off without proper planning. His inadequately equipped team starved to death. This death of an entire expedition would never have happened if Dr. Cook had not perverted history by lying. If he had never perpetrated his hoax, Peary and Henson would have dashed off triumphantly to the South Pole.

Scott in the process of dying because of what Dr. Cook did! The death of this brave Englishman and his brave men shall forever hang over the head of Cook. Cook killed Scott just as surely as if he had harpooned him like a seal.

"If Cook had not created the infamous 'North Pole Controversy' by lying, Peary could have saved Robert Scott from his grizzly death."

What is this all about you ask? Well, it will only make sense to an insider who understands the deliberate parody of Frederick Cook and the Vetters vendetta as carried on by his troublesome relatives. Frederick Cook, in his bizarre 1911 book, asserted Peary drove a man (Verhoeff) to suicide but whom, in fact, had gone off by himself and fell in a crevasse. Cook next charged Peary of somehow driving to suicide Evind Astrup who in fact had died of exposure on a cross country skiing trip somewhere in Norway! Cook further accused Peary of killing Eskimos with contaminated food, of abandoning "to the savage wilds of the North" a child born to his Eskimo "concubine", etc. He even hinted that a drowning (Ross Marvin) was actually a murder by "Peary's Eskimo" to silence Marvin for some esoteric reason. To this day Cookites accuse Peary of killing Eskimos taken back to New York (they died due to lack of disease immunity) on behalf of various scientific organizations.

So anyway, I hope you enjoy this very plausible theory about Cook killing Scott in the aforementioned context. That Peary was going to reach the South Pole is based on fact; you may verify the Peary Diary entries for yourself. It is also factual that Peary knew the South Pole was an easy prize since it is on land—only the North Pole is so incredibly dangerous and difficult because of the Arctic Ocean. Experts agree that if Cook had not caused a nasty public scandal Peary could have raised funds and easily captured the South Pole for the USA.
