John B. Wells

[RedMichael]

If a show isn't about doom and gloom or a potential angle to promote his website, Wells usually doesn't have an idea what the subject or guest is about. So I guess it is refreshing in that even though both Noory and he are incompetent, he can't afford someone to produce cue cards for interviews like Noory can on the "mothership". So the entertainment value is Wells stumbling through an interview like someone in a dark room looking for the light switch but Wells never finding the light switch.




Wells is worse than Noory. That is not a compliment to Noory either.

[awake]

My opinion of Wells is he's a refreshing change from Noory who's always been vanilla and become boring the last 8 or 9 years. Wells comes to interviews with an open mind and interesting questions. Even when he interviewed Whitley Streiber it was as if he had no idea who Streiber was. It was quite humorous. To a point I think Streiber was a bit offended. Like "do you know who I am?".

As for the Sandy Hook deal it didnt bother me. They were throwing some theories out there and it lasted all of a few minutes. No need to get your panties in a bunch of over it. No matter who died, one need not buy the story the media is selling. Remember all those women and children who were rapped and killed at the super some during Katrina? I remember it. And Shepherd Smith crying on air on Fox News. Only problem is none of it happened.

I don't agree with Alex Jones but ill listen to his theories. He MAY be out there, but anyone who thinks Washington DC serves anyone but itself is blind. As for the Jones followers, I don't pay attn to them. They're lemmings like the majority of people here who are anti everything c2c.

Anything refreshing and new would be good for c2c. The show lacks mystery, intrigue, excitement, and child like curiosity. That's the feel Art Bell created and I think Wells brings that to the table. Knapp is also a great interviewer but for totally different reasons.

The Sandy Hook deal was a massacre of children, some of them were kindergarten aged.  The guest that night stated, I believe, 3 times his theory that it was a false flag operation and that no kids were murdered.  Callers tried to talk the guest out his flatly insane position over the course of two hours and tried to talk Wells off the metaphorical ledge numerous times after the guest was gone that night.  The next night Wells volunteered his position yet again and guests again tried to get him to budge, but no soap.  Let me also remind the poster that Wells prompted the whole line of questioning by asking about another purported false flag operation, it was NOT prompted initially by a caller.

I see no way to compare the situational confusion surrounding a monster hurricane and a single shooting event; a natural disaster and a human tragedy.  I think even the suggestion is intellectually dishonest, and I think it's obvious so I'm not going any further along that route with you.

Also, conflating some general dislike/mistrust of DC and a school massacre is also non-sensical, how do you envision any sort of correlation/causation between the two?  Think critically for just a moment original poster; how many police, doctors, teachers, administrators, news people, dispatchers, nurses, undertakers, parents, lawyers, neighbors were in on this false flag operation of J.B.W's and A.J's?  How long might it take to set something like that up and then carry it out?  Ludicrous.

I have zero tolerance for this type of bullshit, it's idiotic.  I understand that JBW is terribly concerned that the cops are going to show up at his door and want his weapons.  Gun control is complex, and two honest brokers could have a healthy spirited discussion about a host of issues related to it but this sort of assholery is beneath contempt. 

I feel that JBW and AJ are an insult to journalists, news people and radio in general while you find them refreshing and interesting even that is something which could be an interesting discussion. But the crap that guest, JBW and AJ spew forth actually detracts from the general discourse, it reduces the amount of knowledge and damages each of us all a very little bit each time it happens without challenge.

The entire news media focuses on doom & gloom. This is why our news is overwhelming majority of negative stories and not positive stories. Supposedly doom & gloom sells. I listen to c2c because its entertaining and presents different points of view. While I love Att Bell lets not forget the number of shows he did telling us about y2k, global warming, everyone will drive flying cars by 2005.

The real reason there's so much hatred for JBW is because he's perceived to be right wing. Only seen this close minded left wing approach to objectivety about a zillion times. Then the opinion will be shrouded in "children died it was a massacre etc" trying to imply somehow anyone who disagrees with their opinion is pro kids dying. Save your "sandy hooks was a massacre" that has zero to do with what Wells was concerned about which was media coverage and what story the govt is trying to sell the public. Public perception is the new reality.

Or maybe he just sucks.


If I go into a bar and get thrown out, it may be the bar. I go into 10 bars and get thrown out of 10 bars... it ain't the bar.

[NowhereInTime]

Given the tone and timber of our collective disregard for Mr. Wells' broadcasting (and moral) deficiency, can we re-name this thread John B. Wells Sucks? I see no point for equivocation.

Sandy Hook was a massacre. It happened.  Twenty children were shot dead at point blank range by Adam Lanza.  Six adults were shot dead by Adam Lanza.  It's a fact, whether you are capable of understanding it or not.  John B. Wells and Alex Jones are making careers for themselves trying to convince empty-headed bumblefucks everything evil in America is perpetrated by the U.S. government.  People who aren't empty-headed, delusional bumblefucks find that kind of behavior offensive.

P.S. Before you forget, you'd better renew your "Coast Insider" membership.

I will second that motion!

[b_dubb]

  need to know because I'm ready to learn and soak up information

if you want to learn then learn. be careful. you might mistake opinion (or outright lies) for information. in that case you'd just be filling your head up with garbage. you won't be find ing the truth on Coast. it's a ouija board. a magic 8 ball. a novelty that shouldn't be treated as anything of any real consequence

[Gd5150]

Not sure what's more idiotic, a bunch of people whining about a show they hate and don't listen to. Or me on a board talking to them about it. Sandy Hook was a tragedy where children were murdered. Discussing who did it is not pulling the trigger.

Gotta go, the George Noory chat is about to start. Lol!!!!!!

[b_dubb]

where'd i put that troll repellent?


what disgusts me (and i think most people on this board) is how far Coast has fallen.  it's a shame they use the same name.  it bears no resemblance to the original except when Ian or Knapp are hosting.  maybe Rob Simone.

  C2C, at least during the work week, should be renamed  "George Noory with George Noory."

Public perception is the new reality.

I haven't heard the major media perpetually droning on about the imminent collapse of American society (by July says JBW!!) or urging folks to "get ready" to deal with The Government (with little question of what he means; think Bushmaster). Or giving paranoid lunatics a platform to infect others with similarly weak minds with perversions presented as "opinion".
Wells is another hardcore libertarian like the Pauls, perpetually bemoaning the death of liberty from inside the protective social bubble maintained by American grown-ups who understand that it's 2013, not 1813.

Really there are many intellectual stimulating debates on here, and they are not false flags.

[Agent : Orange]

Just catching up on this thread.

Never change, General JJ.

[RedMichael]

I refuse to believe someone can operate a computer, use words, but not see any level of difference between Wells' bullshit doom and gloom and the media's attention grabbing headline doom and gloom.


There are no olympics for irrational thought. You will not get a gold medal so give it up and join us back at reality.




Here lets do this, I think wells is an incompetent host. Worse than Noory. He can't hold a conversation, when it sounds like he IS holding a conversation, you suddenly realize he and the guest are talking about different things (slightly to entirely), he tends to let his guests ramble out of control (not speak their mind, spiral into incomprehensible gibberish), his callers are the most politically charged of any host (We can discuss why some other time) and he will make very soft statements of how politically neutral he is like anyone buys it, he can sound intelligent speaking in vague generalities but can't say anything of substance during an interview, I think he is less prepared than noory, 95+% of his shows are of the doom and gloom conspiracy variety, he has absolutely no credentials as a host pre-C2C, etc etc.


For the sake of argument, can and will you dispute any of these? I'm not asking you to cite sources or anything, I don't give a shit about that. I just want to here someone that defends him explain why. I don't want to change your opinion I just want to understand. If this is a troll attempt, grat ya got me.

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

What's Wells talking about.. The government's going to edit together random words someone says and use it in court?  Based on what evidence?   How can Wells use fantasy instead of facts to support his arguments and expect us to pay attention? It's a long stretch to go from the government is collecting information to saying they  will commit perjury in their own court system.  The truth is frightening enough without Wells putting his own unsolicited spin on things.

[Quick Karl]

I've always said that anyone that trusts the Government, is pretty far out there...

A little more than a casual effort to comprehend the intentions of The Founders, and the historic basis for those intentions, would teach even the disinterested that Governments do NOT attract people of the highest character. The entire basis of The Constitution and The Bill of Rights is designed to thwart the efforts of unscrupulous scum that will smile and lie to you and call the other guys names. If Eric Holder's attitude, and Janet Napolitano's silence, isn't enough to prove the presumption, I wouldn't know what to say...

You might not be a fan of Wells (I prefer Wells to Noory by a factor of about 6.022×10^23), but I believe his fear of Government is spot on.

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

I'm very sorry, I respect your views, but now I'm having a really hard time not thinking of Wells as a 22.4 liter bag of gas.

[HorrorReporter]

That's brings up and interesting question to me. Noory vs wells.  Since coast is based on the strange and paranormal, on those main subjects lines, which one 'gets it': Noory it Wells?

[PB the Deplorable]

What I want to know is which one of them is going to do the follow up interviews with Ian's guest that thinks he's a horse trapped in a mans body.

[Gd5150]

Until the US govt limits time in office to a total of less than 10 years, freezes wealth completely of all sitting politicians, pays politicians nothing, and is made up of the educated middle class. It will continue to serve and enrich itself and the super elite.

None of the above will happen so our country will continue down the toilet. While the public suffers the politicians have made a killing. 20 30 40 year senators worth 100s millions? Haha it's laughable. The media is a tool to create public perception.

Neither one.  Although, each one is most definitely strange in his own way.  Sadly, their strangeness is not the least bit entertaining.

Interesting you say that.. Noory seems to just go through the same script over and over again on the paranormal, never engaging with the guest or broadening anyone's horizons. Wells' only connection is narrating a show on FOX, syndicated late on Saturday nights about conspiracies..

I think Wells (or his mom?) had a UFO experience.

George Knapp.

Maybe it was his "mothership."  :

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

I think Wells (or his mom?) had a UFO experience.

There were some bobbies down the river, and there were a bunch of bright lights, and the bobbies weren't saying anything, and then he got off the plane, and then his wife looked out the car window and had some missing time,  and then there were a bunch of people around saying 'did you see that thing? but no one knew where they were, and the bobbies were still down the river not saying anything...

That was what I got out of Wells description of his UFO experience.  It didn't make any sense at the time he said it either.

[HorrorReporter]

Wells had a nice father's day outro. He also played something other can Inca Dance. I figure it's about time he establishes himself as the holder of the reigns.. I wonder how long until he stops playing the Chase..

[The Neverender]

George Knapp.

at least John B. seems to care (in comparison to Noorey)...

I heard that story, and I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who didn't have a clue of what his story actually was. The man might as well be speaking in a foreign language.
