Jim Marrs as a guest

[DaveM]

It's been a long time since Jim Marrs has appeared on the Paracast. Could you see if he is willing to be a guest once more.

I think he would be a good guest.

I about 150 pages into crossfire and have just bought his 9-11 book.

Also try 'Alien Agenda' and 'Rule by Secrecy.' They are both a little dated but have a lot of information in each book. I find these two are my favorites.

Alien Agenda is a decent book. Tis a little dated, what with the "science" of crop circle phenom. etc.

Alien Agenda must have something going for it. It is supposedly the biggest selling UFO book in the world.

I had no idea. Interesting, that. I wonder what/how that came to be, with the selection available.

If nothing else, Jim Marrs is a very good writer. His books are always well documented. There are way too many substandard UFO books on the market. Marrs' books tend to stand out.

For me Jim Marrs lost a lot of credibility when he embraced the birther movement ( and no I'm not going to debate its lack of merit anymore). Its just something to consider when listening to these people. And taking what they say with a grain of salt and what their motivations are.

I thought the birther movement was legit up until the point when Obama produced the birth certificate. Before that point it was suspicious that he wouldn't produce the document. Evidently, Donald Trump forced his hand.

His campaign produced the short form during the 2008 campaign. It was largely ignored by the birthers. But it was up there, and clearly posted. Only later, when they wouldn't shut up did he deliver the long-form. Some still didn't shut up.

Didn't he jump the preverbal shark about 20 years ago?

I mean, I was digging Rule By Secrecy, and then the last third of the book suddenly was devoted to the reptilians that have secretly engineered and rule the planet...

I mean he seems to have taken the worst of Icke and the worst of Von Daniken and put it in a blender with 3 shots of tequila. Oh, with a good shot of fluoride, because we all know that was part of the Nazi/US Neocon conspiracy for good dental hygiene or something.

Oh, yes, the Obama stuff on top of that... and if I remember right he was on a William Henry (god why do I listen to these things) talking about how the US amendment banning slavery was unconstitutional because the southern states didn't get a vote or something...

Oh, it wasn't just me that noticed that:

Sigh.

Please, please folks. Don't give this guy the time of day.

Perhaps he is aware of the paracast audience enough, not to entertain the idea of reptile overlords and such. You have to know your audience
