I really don't care if Wells occasionally manages to pull off a decent show.  His fringe politics and conspiracy obsession have a cumulative toxic effect; like arsenic.  Every time he gives one of his loonie fringe pals the C2C stage, a few more mouth-breathers are convinced and a few more bucks float to a radical group.  Looks like another night of "they're coming for your children" and the like from JBW's Crank of the Week bull pen.

Well, back to basics tonight.

When I saw "political scientist" I thought it would at least be a libertarian professor. The About on his website doesn't even say where he went to school. I wonder that "training" is a B.A. from South-South Eastern Florida University or a membership of the John Galt Organization for Abolishing Society?

"Joel Skousen is a political scientist, by training, specializing in the philosophy of law and Constitutional theory, and is also a designer of high security residences and retreats. He has designed Self-sufficient and High Security homes throughout North America, and has consulted in Central America as well. His latest book in this field is Strategic Relocation--North American Guide to Safe Places, and is active in consulting with persons who need to relocate for security and increased self-sufficiency. He also assists people who need to live near a large city to develop contingency retreat plans involving rural farm or recreation property.

Joel was raised in Oregon and later served as a fighter pilot for the US Marine Corps during the Vietnam era prior to beginning his design firm specializing in high security residences and retreats. During the 80's he took a leave of absence to serve as the Chairman of the Conservative National Committee in Washington DC. and concurrently served as the Executive Editor of Conservative Digest. For two years he published a newsletter entitled, the WORLD AFFAIRS BRIEF, and served as a Senior Editor of "Cogitations" a quarterly journal on law and government . The World Affairs Brief is now back in publication and is available as a weekly email newsletter or in a monthly print edition. "

2nite's show is actually decent. wells seems to be reigning his millenarianism in

Yeah, that giggly heavy-handed flirting is part of her regular schtick.   Off-topic here-- sorry-- but this "Numbers Lady" is so hopelessly full of crap~~  She's making the stuff up as she goes, y'all know that much, right?
And does she know that there are different calendars  in the world?   So, the calendar on the wall where you were born influences your life...?   As far as I can tell from her "method," even the way you write a date makes a difference:  23 April 1978 = 2-3-4-1-9-7-8 .... or April 23 78 = 0-4-2-3-7-8 ...I'm sure that kind of thing makes a BIG difference to her system!

Total BS, doesn't even need to be debunked. This is three hours of actual nonsense. Not a single sentence is worthwhile. I'm sure it's lucrative for her, but I don't know how a healthy mind can either 1) believe it or 2) sell a lie so wholeheartedly.

yawn!! john b. wells sexy voice and vibrating numbers

Can't listen to three hours of hot air. Maybe I'll put on the "Fine Art" stream.

i know you're not asking for advice, but i think you guys should just randomize the whole playlist and let it rip.

Agree with this, need a good mix.

More numerology crap. Wasn't it numerology two days ago? Or was that astrology?

lol guys, thanks.

shockley, i googled it because i thought it would be easier to find people who hate his schtick by looking for his scare words. socialism, liberalism, scientism (jk - he doesnt know that one), welfare, etc.

read your krauss email, it was hilarious. actually i sent john an email myself during that show (no reply obv) complaining about how he kept throwing his religious ingredients into every segment of the interview. i tuned in to hear a brilliant mind at the top of his field and had to listen to a bible thumper try to undermine him. krauss handled it well and i think even did a good job of subtly schooling him but i was dying for him to rip into john. can't do that obviously. separate complain i want to get off my chest - i tried to call in too to ask about free will and determinism and had to listen to a final hour of calls from people who clearly didnt grasp the concepts seeking affirmation of their moonshine-fueled limited vocabulary theories. so. damn. frustrating.

good to see you guys can't stand this idiot too.

oh, the other night he also read one of the emails (it was eloquent) scorning him for being the type of hack who's ruining the political discussion in the country. of course john dutifully read it, offered some superficial rejoinder and continued to coax the guest as he discussed how The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo reveals how Sweden is a big government socialist dystopia that destroys individual creativity.

total fool.

I just found this board by googling "john b. wells" + socialism.

A lot of people hate Noory for being stupid, but he's at least open-minded.

Seems like every time I give John B. a chance he's reaffirming his conservative ideals. He's got a scientist like Krauss on talking about theoretical physics or whatever and he feels the need to dogmatically assert his religious beliefs in the face of science. He has some god-fearing libertarian on and it becomes an invitation to triumphantly rip on liberalism and mutually masturbate.

The guy lacks the ability to leave aside his own bizarre convictions and advance the conversation by making remarks and asking questions.

Not that Noory is some kind of socratic critical midwife but at least he isn't jamming each show into his premade worldview over the air. Noory is just smart enough to know he needs to hold off. Wells is a fundamentalist.

Can't stand the guy, Coast becomes right-wing rant radio on the weekends thanks to him. Give me sheepish George 7 days a week.
