Badges? We don't need no a stinkin' badges 'round here. Also, I want more stars by my name so I'll get a larger retirement pension. I guess Field Marshall would do.

One of the problems invariably encountered by those offering physical proof of a paranormal experience is that their critics insist on disassociating the evidence from its active context. If we applied that same stricture in pursuit of other forms of epistemology, say testimony in a court of...

It seems to me that it's impossible to fully get a grasp on government operations until you've come to understand the concept of compartmentalization. When you factor that in, things begin to make more sense, even in the upside down world of covert intelligence.

Charles Halls's story is unique not only for it's out of the mainstream content, but the exhaustive detail he goes into when describing his interactions with the "tall whites." And he's recently announced a fourth volume to his elaborate narrative. Even so, I think it's worth noting than none of...

That avatar was enough to spook me. Looks like a publicity still from a George Romero movie: Night of the Living Bullshitters. Now I've gone and scared myself. Oy! Another night spent under the bed for me.

I've seen the Beech Grove facility with my own eyes. It does exist, but I have no idea what purpose it was designed* to serve. I'm sure the authorities would claim it's some sort of emergency facility to handle any imaginable public disaster contingency, no matter how unlikely it might be. Being...

Strieber's tendency to accept unverified claptrap from sources already proven to be unreliable is one of his tendencies that annoys me most. But this isn't a fault unique to him. Something happens to people after they have experienced a paranormal event first hand that they would never hesitated...

I found most of the "wisdom" offered in The Key to be sophomoric platitudes at best, mixed in with a healthy dose of patented Strieber gloom. If the lessons offered in that book are the best the Hidden Masters can offer, I suggest they stay in hiding and be content with whatever they can earn...

Reality is a work of fiction.

I think it's an error to dismiss all of Strieber's claims out of hand. Too many witnesses have come forward over the years to offer substantiating testimony that bestows at least some credence to his paranormal allegations involving himself, friends and family. Gene made an interesting...

I think Jeremy has identified a salient point in this situation when he points out that Pinchbeck holds some extremely....odd...views, to put it politely. Nothing wrong with that of and by itself, but when your disagreement with another person is partially based upon what you to consider to be...

Come on! Pinchbeck offered an opinion that Strieber seems to be in the habit of casting every current event as a harbinger of imminent disaster. The man 's books and web site offer nothing but an incessant drumbeat of Milleranistic doom. Never Once did Pinchback resort to name calling or any...

I Didn't say he shouldn't be on the Paracast, Brandon. My comment was that if he does agree to an interview, I hope David will challenge him with rational argument and fact when he starts slinging his New Age retro style of Theosophical bullshit. That's why I listen to this program. It's the...

So would my granny, Ruth. She believes dill pickles will kill you and that any disease or injury, no matter how severe, can be cured with massive doses of chicken broth and horehound. You say cousin Marvin was decapitated in a car wreck? No problem. Just keep pouring chicken broth and horehound...

I very much enjoyed The Wolfen. It was well paced and based upon a relatively novel concept: that humanity is unaware it shares this world with another intelligent species that preys upon humans. I find it odd that Strieber has never given much serious consideration to that hypothesis when...

I often drop by Strieber's site to check out his journal and news updates. My favorite article blurb on his home page has to be "Whitley tells us what to think about the drones." Rather revealing. Strieber loves nothing better than telling people what to think about everything under the sun...

I doubt it. It's too close to a national level election to provide any opportunities for those who would benefit most from another "terrorist" attack.

I don't believe humanity can literally destroy the Earth, but we can certainly make it an even unhealthier, more unpleasant place to live than it already is. I think it's just a matter of common sense to follow the old adage of "don't sh*t where you eat."

Germany!!!? For God's sake, man, I'm having angina over here. I'd suggest you consider Scotland instead. Everybody minds their own business and the prices are reasonable. Just don't eat anything served in what looks like a sauteed balloon; it's probably a sheep's stomach.

Whenever that happens, just say "oy." It always makes you feel better, and no one can claim you've said something objectionable. Adding "gevalt" is always optional, but should properly be reserved for declarations of extreme surprise.
