George Noory sounds more like Rush Limbaugh than Art Bell. What has happened to Coast to Coast? |
|
Edited on Tue Feb-23-10 07:10 PM by Mike 03
George Noory doesn't believe in the H1N1 Flu (which I have, so I can attest that it exists and is not a government conspiracy)
He doesn't believe in Global Warming.
He doesn't believe in modern medicine, which he believes is trying to conceal cures for cancer like baking soda, miracle water from Europe and prayer.
He believes the global economic crisis is the result of cunning and planning by our One World Government rather than greed, parties, and counterparties. He even gets into fights with Linda Moulton Howe (sp?), who prides herself in respecting the scientific method and protocol over sensational fantasy.
I used to LOVE coast to coast, but I am really getting sick to death of the "new" coast to coast.
ON EDIT:
I forgot to mention some other things he believes in:
Miniature people, dwarfs, Giants, Pyramids in the Grand Canyon, Zero Point Energy, TIme Travel, Ghosts, that there are "not coincidences", that he is a healer of people with cancer, and many things I can't think of right now.

1. I sometimes listed to Art as a college student in the 90s |
|

29. The best thing on Art's show was the call in if you are the Anti-Christ line... |
|
And the hole in Oregon that was a portal to Hell....

4. yeah, I don't tune in to Coast to Coast for politics |
|
I want to hear about aliens and ghosts and Bigfoot or something. They did a few hours on EVP a while back that was totally spooky though! I don't think Noory was the host that night.

6. Nowadays if I bother to tune in, it's only when Ian Punnett is on |
|
I still like him but I've gotten out of the habit of listening because of how much I dislike GN.

14. He gave an entire episode of his show to one of the worst conspiracy theorists |
|
Michael "of the Devil" Chertoff's cousin Benjamin. Employee of ultra right wing Hearst Publishing, and the compiler of the steaming pile of shit "Popular Mechanics" issue devoted to spreading the most ridiculous of all 9/11 conspiracies.

21. So are you a MIHOPer or a LIHOPer? |
|
Because neither has been proven on iota. The official story of 9/11, though flawed a bit, is the truth.

|
Edited on Tue Feb-23-10 08:14 PM by Sugarcoated
and aside from a form letter from someone connected to Norry, George Knapp wrote to me, and assured me he wouldn't have him on, and if he did, he'd clean his clock. Too bad Art handed the show to Snorey. I've found a pretty good online show called Mysterious Worlds. Two Australian guys, one of them a scientist, with a healthy degree of skepticism.

24. ever try audio books? that's all I listen to.....get them from the library, who |
|
can get just about any audio book from any library in the country, so the choices are endless ''reading'' this now.....fascinating stuff about TR: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/19/books/19book.html THE IMPERIAL CRUISE
A Secret History of Empire and War
By James Bradley
The Queasy Side of Theodore Roosevelt’s Diplomatic Voyage By JANET MASLIN Published: November 18, 2009
James Bradley’s incendiary new book about Theodore Roosevelt is not really packed with secrets. Much of the material it discusses has long been hidden in plain sight. But Roosevelt biographers often subscribe to certain orthodoxies, and one of them is this: When Roosevelt made noxiously racist and ethnocentric remarks about Anglo-Saxon greatness, so what? He was just voicing the tenets of his time.
Mr. Bradley, the author of “Flags of Our Fathers,” does not simply cite Roosevelt’s egregious talk. He presents this much-ignored aspect of Roosevelt’s thinking with sharp specificity (“I am so angry with that infernal little Cuban republic that I would like to wipe its people off the face of the earth,” Roosevelt wrote in 1906) and then goes on to make a much more damaging point, angrily and persuasively connecting Roosevelt’s race-based foreign policy miscalculations in Asia. His thesis in “The Imperial Cruise” is startling enough to reshape conventional wisdom about Roosevelt’s presidency.
“Here was the match that lit the fuse, and yet for decades we paid attention only to the dynamite,” Mr. Bradley writes. The flame to which he refers is Roosevelt’s secret diplomacy with Japan and his encouragement of Japanese imperialism. (“I should like to see Japan have Korea,” he once declared.) In a far-reaching book that also addresses Roosevelt’s misconceptions about Korea, Hawaii, China and the Philippines, Mr. Bradley places critical emphasis on the dangerous American-Japanese relationship that, he says, Roosevelt helped create.
“Knowing a lot about race theory but less about international diplomacy and almost nothing about Asia,” he writes, “Roosevelt in 1905 careened U.S.-Japanese relations on the dark side road leading to 1941.” This assertion is certainly debatable. And neither “The Imperial Cruise” nor Mr. Bradley, whose earlier “Flyboys” offered a gruesome account of the deaths of American World War II pilots on the Japanese-held island of Chichi Jima, is beyond reproach. Mr. Bradley favors broad strokes and may at times be overly eager to connect historical dots, but he also produces graphic, shocking evidence of the attitudes that his book describes.

9. I always thought that "Coast To Coast" was a comedy show. |
|
I tuned in the other night, and the guest was talking about how space aliens probably designed Chichen Itza. Was I supposed to take that shit seriously?

12. Conspiracy theories about aliens are always fun! Alien stories are SO much better than chemtrails! |
|
And no, you don't have to take it seriously, although you had better believe some listeners do!
Put it this way: The type who invites a Jehovahs Witness (or Mormon, etc) into their home and gets converted to their religion in one visit, shouldn't listen to Coast to Coast.

31. Oh man, I was at a party once, ran into a group of ladies. |
|
One was a proclaimed shaman, she lived in a cave(this was no lie, I checked up on it after I met her). Another lady was involved with Michael Salla I don't know if you know who he is but he is big in this thing called 'exopolitics' it's all a bunch of UFO hookum. Any way, they got to talking about C2C and one says straight faced, yeah, Art had so and so on last night who says we are mining on the moon. I chuckled and both of them just looked at me like "Yeah? What?" That's when I knew that they believed everything they heard on C2C. They were whacked out, but at least they were entertaining.

10. WHen he first took over I noticed a slight swing to the right and I wrote to him |
|
about his Limbaugh-like tendencies. He wrote me back a very terse email saying that there was no way he was going to be another Limbaugh!
I guess his audience pushed him further over the edge to nutland.

11. George Knapp, on some Sunday nights, is much better! |
|
Noory seems like a nice person and I've never heard him be mean to anyone but Knapp is just a much superior host in every way and I love his progressive activism regarding the problems with wild horses and animal cruelty in Nevada.

15. I believe in miniature people, too |
|
two of my favorite human beings are 3'8" and about 3'6" respectively (both have the same bone condition).
Somehow I don't think that's what Noory has in mind, though. And either one of them would absolutely PWN him in an interview!

I am one who entertains the concept that there is likely more to reality than that which is quantifiable by mathematical equations. That being said, I always tell people that Coast to Coast A.M really is the perfect show in that whichever party or ideology holds power, the wackiest dreamers from the opposite end of the spectrum will find comfort in the constant parade of conspiratorial paranoia presented.
Guaranteed audience during any and all political climates.
