George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[b_dubb]

they created New Coke so they could switch recipes.  they changed to New COke and then switched back to 'old' Coke recipe.  except that they switched to corn syrup as a sweetener.  to save money.  and they all lived happily ever fatter

noory sucks

[Tara]

I read that the Coke "classic" in Mexico tastes better than the U.S. classic Coke because in Mexico they use regular sugar, while in the U.S. it's corn syrup.

To stay on-topic, I'll first state that George Noory Sucks. Now on to the fascinating economics of mono and disaccharides.

Though in reality, I doubt that in a blind taste test of carbonated beverages, one could taste the difference between sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), let's for the sake of argument, defer that one could differentiate.

Let's look at the facts: Coca-Cola uses sucrose and HFCS, depending on the country - but it's motives are not sinister, and also not even based on pure market forces. More on this later.

Sucrose is nothing more than a disaccharide, meaning it is the result of combining two monosaccharides - glucose (C6H12O6) and fructose (an isomer of glucose, also chemically C6H12O6). Sucrose is also known by its more evil and sinister name: table sugar - that same shit you put in your coffee and tea and cakes and brownies, etc., ad infinitum.

Well, you see, the United State Federal Government, via the United States Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service, in its omni-present and benevolent ways of interfering in every aspect of our lives, has determined that there should be quotas and tariffs placed on the importation of cane sugar (reference: http://www.fas.usda.gov/itp/imports/ussugar.asp), thereby artificially raising the price of sucrose AKA table sugar.

So, in reality, you can thank the Federal Government for keeping the price of sucrose/table sugar artificially high, thereby economically forcing businesses to utilize other forms of cheaper, alternative sweeteners, to remain competitive.

So in conclusion, thanks Federal Government, for your ever-increasing intrusiveness into our lives, and encroachments on our freedoms; and a much bigger thank you to Milton Friedman, the great economist and thinker, who helped formulate and verify my own thoughts and ideas on economics and the way the world works (and to Jude Wanniski, who authored a brilliant book by the same name).

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming

I'm disappointed in tonight's show and Whitley Strieber in general. For years, he claimed he was abducted by aliens. Now instead of aliens, it's creatures that came out of the ground. He has done a complete 180 with his story. I would not be surprised if he has got a book planned where these creatures are the main characters. That would explain the switcheroo.

     I didn't catch that.  I blame George's lack of focus and summary.   At the start of the interview George told Whitley he was a "loved follower" of the show.  What does tha mean?  And in a sudden bust of convoluted hubris, George wondered "how many calamities can we handle back to back to back to back before we are truly in a mess?" Eh...seven?  Forty nine?  George also played footsie with psychic chics Rochelle Sparrow and Cortney Kane.  Richard C. Hoagland thinks the NWO's secret space program snatched that falling space junk out of the sky, and, in a segment that was way too short, good ol' former "Screensaver", Leo Laporte, talked about some gadget thing, or techie issue, something.

Anybody else catch George saying the C2C Facebook page was about to break 100,000 fans, encouraging everyone listening to "Like" it, and then predicting it would pass 100,000 "within the next few minutes" because of his mentioning it?

Hours later, it's still at 99,723, only gaining a hundred or so fans since he mentioned it.

Striber is just a fraud that is full of himself.  If you will notice the underlying thing about him is that 'Everything happens to Whitley'.  if there is a paranormal event out there.....somehow it has touched Whitley's life.

The thing that I dislike most about him is that Striber is a poor writer.  I have read a few things he has produced.  They were all poorly crafted and sloppy.

My favorite Striber 'hanger-on' is Starfire Tor.  Geez! Is she damaged or what?

It's now at 99,760.

Not really surprising considering the kind of audience Snoory attracts with his version of C2C. Out of "millions" of listeners only 100,000 own a computer. What does that say about the rest of the audience.

Missed that, so thanks, Snap. 

But I did catch George saying he had a "personal goal" of adding 1,000 people to the C2C Insider or Streamlink or whatever it's called now rolls "in the next month."

It's one thing to hawk starving children.  Another to hawk memberships for "only, what, 25 cents a day or something" to the audience, AS IF he were saving starving children.

Using a 'tractor beam' from an 'anti-gravity craft' no less. Much as I enjoy RCH, I think he's finally losing it completely. I wonder if he ever actually listens to himself ?

[Tara]

They used a tractor beam designed by the Nazis who control NASA, per Hoagland.  I wonder if Hoagland is still on that 19.5 and 33 stuff like he was with Art?  Always a new scam.

Over years with George I've gone from listening to the occasional show and wishing Art hadn't left, to listening to the show most nights and thinking George is not very good and wonderig wjy he keeps making the same mistakes over and over, to listening most nights thinking George Noory sucks, to listening most nights mostly to hear how bad it is and to pick up the new gaffes and stupid comments for fun, to not listening at all but enjoying the posts of others documenting his lousy performances and stupid comments, to reading this and just feeling sad.

The show is a goddamn fiasco.  It's a show geared toward the mentality of a 12 yr old that comes on in the middle of the night when all intelligent 12 yr olds are fast asleep.  The guests are mostly con artists and hoaxsters, all chasing after the dollars of the feeble minded who don't know any better than to subject themselves to the same drivel night after night.  Any respectability the show once had has been shat upon by the charlatan Noory, who doesn't have a clue about what the show once was.  He claims to love science, but knows nothing about scientific methods.  He's a fool, he's a clown.  As it is now, the show belongs on GCN, with the rest of the New Age bullshitters and hawkers of gold and survival gear.  It will never again be what it once was.

GN said Strieber was a loved follower of Coast.
Strieber said, "Thank you"..then Strieber said (about his own style), "I let people tell their stories - I don't tell them what to think."
Like you do, George?
Was that a dig? The uneasy silence that followed says it was and that Noory got it.
Good.
To demote a former sometimes-host of C2C to "follower" status says that Noory can't bear to share the spotlight with anyone. The statement that he was loved was a left-handed compliment and even that was made begrudgingly.
When GN tags any reference to the great Art Bell he always makes sure to state that "That was a long time ago".
Well, George, if you're reading this, like last night, your knee-jerk references to old science fiction movies are never relevant to anything on duh sho, real or imaginary. And that was a very long time ago in a place that never existed, like Willowbee. Pick up your hind foot and take the next step.
Do something nice for somebody else for a change, Sucker.

[YNOT]

Sorry if this is a bit outdated. I just listened to the 9/13 show with the occult dude.  He was actually fairly interesting. But as usual Snoory passed up great opportunities explore statements from the guest.. Good example

Ass Hat: "Have you ever seen anybody possesed Eric?"
Guest:   "...yea. I have seen people possesed and I have myself entered into posession several times." 

Ass Hat: "Let's go to Bobby in Atlanta Georgia...."

I doubt George was even cognizant of the guests answer.

Would Art have let this one go?  How I miss him. I can hear him now
Art : "Ooohhh Reeallly! So you are saying you have actually been possesed several times?
... How did you know you were possessed? How did it feel? How did you come back?...yada yada"

There are so many ways Art could/would have made this entertaining.  And/or called the guy's bluff.  But George? Nope.  Not even one of his pat dumb ass responses! 

And then the audience...me...is left pissed off because I'll never know.
Sigh...

[YNOT]

Don't know where to put this one... I found a anagram generator on the net and put

[fabucat]

fabucat, recession porn to me means bad quality imaging/cheap cameras. I think it's sad that people are turning to Coast in bad economic times rather than doing things like using wits to start businesses or being creative.


As much as I hate people who depend on the government, I hate it more when people turn to freaks and liars in bad times. George Noory has no expertise in anything. he's not even good at lying and shilling. If you want a fake prophet, go for someone good at least, someone with looks and good taste, not a turmeric snorting pussy fart like Noory.

If I hear him say "this is a family show" one more time, I'm going to call in and cuss him out and tell him I'm turned on by the picture of the cheetoh chasing seagulls on the Coast to Coast AM web site.

Bwahahahahahahahahahah.  Seriously, I wouldn't let my kids listen to these quacks he has on.  Family show my a**. 

Me, I depend upon the government whether I'm employed or not.  I depend upon safe roads, safe bridges, clean drinking water, safely inspected food (?), the postal service, clean air, the internets--developed by the government, national defense, education, the police department, and the fire department.  I'm such a fucking leach socialist, goddamn it:)

Believe it or not, I actually take turmeric, but I wouldn't take it to the exclusion or antibiotics or chemo, if I needed such treatments.  I can't disagree with anything you've written.

Part of the fun of listening to Coast to Coast used to be to laugh at the wackjob guests.  Art Bell, however, could puncture the egos of the bullshitters, though.  Bell told us that it's good to have an open mind, but don't let it be so open that your brain falls out.  Noory, in contrast, claims that he's bringing us the absolute truth and nothing but the truth.  Unfortunately, the majority of our populace, unlike most folks on this list, don't have a BS detector in their heads.  Noory does his audience a disservice by not scrutinizing his guests. 

I never thought that I'd ever, ever entertain censorship, especially political censorship.  However, when Noory has on a quack who claims that the federal government has no jurisdiction outside the borders of the District of Columbia, and Noory doesn't challenge the liar, I wonder if fucking Noory shouldn't be yanked off the air.    The fact that I even have such thoughts sicken me, because I can have some libertarian impulses. 

Still, to be a host on the public airwaves is a privilege, not a right, and it's obviously a privilege of the few.  A host shouldn't be allowed to let guests lie like sacks of sh*t to a group of vulnerable people.

[PB the Deplorable]

GN said Strieber was a loved follower of Coast....

To demote a former sometimes-host of C2C to "follower" status says that Noory can't bear to share the spotlight with anyone....

It also says George is inartuculate, insincere, clueless, and really has no sense of how he is perceived by others.  Not that Whitley doesn't deserve all the grief he gets as well..

Wow, I can't say I'm shocked though as the government has way too much power. Thank you for this information.

[Morgus]

at the start of tonight's c2c show, noory reported past guest dr. fred bell had died.
noory said he would have a special tribute for fred bell at the end of friday night's show.
we know what that means - noory will cut out early in the last hour and his staff will play a tape of part of an old interview with fred bell.
noory always takes advantage of using a 'tribute' to sneak out early on a friday. 

[Scully]

... in a sudden bust of convoluted hubris, George wondered "how many calamities can we handle back to back to back to back before we are truly in a mess?" Eh...seven?  Forty nine?  ...   

I liked this description so much that I checked with Google to see if I understood it to its fullness.  I didn't. 

"Hubris, also hybris, means extreme haughtiness, pride, or arrogance. Hubris often indicates a loss of contact with reality and an overestimation of one's own competence or capabilities, especially when the person exhibiting it is in a position of power."

I'd say "convoluted hubris" is a world-class description of Noory's style.   

Keep it comin', Valdez!

Lately, even the guests are reading from a script of some form (is it teletype???!  Whatever it is, it must stop or slow down because the reader must wait until the words continue and it's very obvious)  I wonder if the reams of praise for george are preprinted on the script.  One night I thought that EVERY caller and every guest was reading.  Am I off base here?

[valdez]

     Thanks, Scully.

What I heard was "It throws off my whole system"...

     At the risk of sounding like "el Snoro," there certainly is something going on.   George mentioned a "system" a while back and whatever that system is it seems to take precedence over the quality of the show itself.  David Sereda's (he's been on a bunch of times, but tonight it occurred to me that he was nuts) two hours we wrecked by George and his friggin' obsession with getting to the callers, which I'm sure is a big part of his "system".  I'm gonna write him an email about this.  It's getting out of hand. Larry Arnold on spontaneous human combustion.  Wasn't Ian talking about that this weekend?  Yeah. 

[stevesh]

     Thanks, Scully.

Sereda is nuts. He claims now to have invented and used a faster-than-light communication device to talk to ETs over 400 light years away and receive a response 2 days later. I wonder if the Nobel committee knows about this ?

He told Noory he could ask the ETs some questions, and Noory sounded really exited about doing so. Most likely his questions will be about angels.

I've also noticed Noory's compulsion to go to callers much more often and sooner than before. Sorry bastard doesn't understand that the callers are the lamest part of the show.

[b_dubb]

Well, you see, the United State Federal Government, via the United States Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service, in its omni-present and benevolent ways of interfering in every aspect of our lives, has determined that there should be quotas and tariffs placed on the importation of cane sugar (reference: http://www.fas.usda.gov/itp/imports/ussugar.asp), thereby artificially raising the price of sucrose AKA table sugar.

the tariff and trade penalties are ...at least 'officially' ... placed on foreign shipments of cane sugar because domestic producers of same product cannot compete with these foreign suppliers.  they call this an "anti-dumping" tariff.  they do the same for ... say ... bearings.  German manufacturers can price bearings much lower than those produced by domestic manufacturers.  to protect American manufacturing ... ahem ... they raise the cost of those Kraut bearings by placing a special, punitative tariff on them. 
unofficially ... there's an Iowa Caucus.  and Iowa corn farmers like their corn subsidy.  i won't call the Iowa corn subsidy 'welfare' because ... the farmers still have to plant the corn to receive the subsidy so it's not like they're sitting on their ass collecting a check.  but the tariffs and the corn subsidy drive down the price of agro-industrial corn.  and that's why we have hfc.  and if i am to believe my cellular biologist friends ... this is partly why the collective American ass is so fat

[El Kragen]

Last night, I heard George wonder out loud "but are we in the crossfires of huge solar storms?"

Was he trying to say caught in the cross hairs of a solar storm or caught in the cross fire of two storms. Do either of those even make sense? My head hurts trying decipher Noory speak.

Also, that question led into a really awkward moment with Mitch Batros speaking about Fred Bell and what a great guy George was.

[b_dubb]

caught in the crossfire.  george ... you need TWO suns for a crossfire of solar ray assault.  TWO.  we have one sun.  george ... earth is NOT tatooine.  Star Wars was NOT a documentary
