I'm sick of Art Bell...
Edited on Sun Nov-12-06 01:37 AM by sfwriter
I'm sick of the pro-war nonsense. How the hell do you decide "in the last few months" that the war in Iraq is a good thing.

I lost all interest in Noory when the Iraq war started. He shut off any discussion of that or the whys that didn't support the President. I had a heated email exchange with him, and looking back at it, I laid out pretty much what actually happened.

What do I expect, these men lack any sense of skepticism. I usually listen for the wacko factor, conspiracies and strange reality. I'm getting to where I can't.

These effing bastards are lowering the general IQ of the nation.

1. Art Bell is an idiot.
He thinks that UFOs and the International Jewish Conspiracy ate JFK's brain.

6. I used to love the kooky factor...
...now I can't take half of it.

I like the SETI institutes Science and Skepticism podcast a lot better.

4. One of the show I was listening to a month ago,
and he said... He had no problem with wire taping. I shut him off ever since.

9. Art is yesterday's cheese
The moment he said he "liked Bush", that was it. Marrying shortly after his wife died, then moving to another country, was all wiggy enough. The "like Bush" thing, is just plain crazy.

George Noury on the other hand has actually had 9/11 theorists on -- even the edgier ones.

11. Art had his day in the late 1990's. My roommate in college
was one of his junkies. He, like so many of Art's followers were preparing for the end of the world due to the millenium crisis in 2000. He actually planned on me dying and already had laid claim to my stuff. I and my girlfriend at the time, just looked at him and laughed, but the guy was dead serious.

13. Fans wonder 'is he being threatened?' cuz he sure changed his
tune! They figure it's why he moved out of the country, etc. It definitely DOES annoy me tho.

14. So why are you listening?
:shrug:

Free speech does not include the right to an audience. If you don't like what you hear, tell him so, then turn it off.

15. OTOH, a broken clock is correct twice a day. AB had a show about
the Federal Reserve and it being essentially the fourth (and most influential) branch of government. His show led me to do research to find consistent facts about this private consortium of banks that really do control our lives. When I first heard this particular topic on AB, it sounded as unbelievable as another UFO and ghost story, but unfortunately, a lot of the program has been confirmed by books, the internet, and articles.

AB may be out there with the other stuff, but I'll always be grateful for him being the only one in the media to at least talk about the economy via the Fed.
