holy christ.  i'm about 8 pages behind on this thread.

Me too, but I managed to catch up a bit. I can't believe that Noory has managed to take this show to a whole new level of suckiness. One in which I didn't even think was possible. It seems to me that they have all but given up on trying to be thought provoking. Sometimes I find myself wondering if the guests such as Hoaxland, LMH etc... aren't paying Noory to keep having them on. In most cases they are rehashing the same shit over and over verbatim. Plus the hosts inability to challenge anyone only serves to make it worse. None the less, I was slightly amused when they had Judy Wood on and the people on c2c's facebook page let it be known that they thought she was one of the worst guests and/or shows ever. There is a bit of discourse going on and pretty soon the gig will be up... At least I fucking hope so.



Those are just my thoughts.

[fysisist]

Just for kicks, what if Noory does get the boot?  Who would you want to take over?  Who are the candidates? 

Ian Punnet?  I think he has a gig but even if he doesn't, I don't know if I could take him on daily basis.  He has some very annoying interview habits. 

George Knapp?  He gets my vote, I think he would be the ideal host for the topics covered on C2C.  But I really doubt he would be willing to do it, what with his other career. 

So who then?  To throw out a few names:
Tim Binnall?  Too nasal and a very irritating chuckle. 
Don Ecker?  A possibility. 
Rob Simone?  God I hope not.

Chances are we'll be stuck with the talking mustache until doomsday rolls around.

   Based on your credentials,I regret to inform you that you've just received the nomination as the Republican presidential candidate of 2012.

Kevin Smith is the easy answer. Smart guy, strong interest in the topics.  He also creates an air of mystery.  The only knock is that he lacks animation.  Maybe it is the southern drawl, not sure.

Those are just my thoughts.

The pay to bore concept is not as far fetched as I thought.  A couple of weeks ago at the end of a Richard C. data dump George jokingly told him that "you really earned your pay", and laughed.  Hoagland mumbled. Analyzing this puts me on a par with Richard C. but if nazis can be hiding out in space how far fetched is it to think Hoagland didn't pay for the title "science advisor" and some airtime to sell his wares.  Hoagland is a post modernist Mr. Haney and I wouldn't be surprised if he had a deal with Premier.

You've got my vote. 
I remember my dad coming over to my house to watch the "famous" Bobby, Donnie, and Cale melee.  Of course, that's not what we knew we were going to watch. HA  Kevin and Kyle don't even come close!
Ah, nostalgia.

     I like Jim Marrs.  He's a old fashioned raconteur, easy on the ears, and he knows history, but tonight just pissed me off.  So Osama was killed in 2001 and his body was put in ice until the right moment came along to announce his death?  And George W. couldn't find the right moment?  So sometime after Obama's inauguration Bush gives him the keys to the White House, the little suitcase with the nuclear "button", and a block of ice with Bin Ladin's body in it?  I'm suppose to believe this?  This conspiracy crap is getting on my nerves.  Most of the population couldn't tell you who the Vice President is, but they sure can buy into the dumbest crap, and formulate the weirdest theories.  Noory said that there are a lot of conspiracies out there, and most of them "could be true".  Based on what, Truth Seeker George?  I'll say this again, for all the shit he gets, at least Beck names names and connects the dots.  George just gives us a "who knows" and walks away.
     Oh, yeah, George, it's Brzezinski...not Brzazins-NIC.  And "como se llama" does not mean "how are you?" Jeez.

[Coasted2astop]

Bob Crane needs to make a special radio for listening to George. It would need to be padded to protect the radio from damage by knocking it off the table or heaving it across the room and to soften the blow from and to the listener's hand. Being mobile this way, rechargeable, impact resistant and light-weight would be good features also.

Good points, Valdez.  At it's core, George's inability or unwillingness to discriminate between the possible and the pitiful make the show uninteresting.  Is the caller a scientist from Livermore offering a rare insight into the little-publicized nuclear disaster or a mentally ill mouthbreather describing his delusions?  Doesn't matter--the response will be the same.

Regarding the death of Osama bin Laden, I remember Bush saying it was no longer important to get him in 2005 and we just learn that he actually disbanded the task force that was looking for him.  He had to do that because he was spending trillions on invading Iraq in the name of the War on Terrorism and no one thought bin Laden was in Iraq.  I don't believe that he had bad intel; rather, he had another goal all along, one that better served his Saudi friends to whom he sold his soul long ago.

The strongest timing connection regarding the murder is the upcoming battle regarding the debt ceiling. It is critical to the success of our nation that we reduce military spending.  It's not entitlements that are bankrupting us--it's our new corporation-driven mandate to protect the resources of other countries for our own benefit and $$ profit.  SOOOO - here we have a big fight looming in Congress regarding lifting the debt ceiling.  The decision to take a tiny thread of a lead to OBL and exploit that makes you wonder why now?  We hear they have had that house under surveillance for quite some time.  Why now indeed?

You will see a huge push to cut military spending in the new climate of "an era of fear is over."  Obama's choice to exploit the intel and take the risk is a genius political move.  He releases the birth certificate and mentally says, "Enjoy it for the day or two it's on the front page."  Then he changed the framing of the upcoming debate with the capture PLUS neutralized any lingering doubts that he wasn't the one you'd want answering the phone at 3:00 am. 

American prestige has just shot up in the world and it was done with finesse.  The guy can play chess and Arabs respect that.

I am often amazed at how easily I can get hooked. Then I am equally amazed at how absurd some of the conspiracy threories are (the driver shot kennedy). Even more amazed that these theorists seem to have a tough time putting words together, let alone connecting complex timelines, political agendas, and motivations.

Also, Coasted, don't forget being water resistant because a person can no longer just recline and listen.  You have to be doing a couple of other things at the same time.  Bulletproof too, for our conservative friends who also recognize a flat, stale, mispronounced, badly managed radio show.

It is critical to the success of our nation that we reduce military spending.

From my view on the bottom rung of the military this is already underway.  In the past six months or maybe year there's been a pretty dramatic shift.  It looks like they want to cut down personel size by quite a bit.  It's not something that's been put out in any explicit way but changes to regulations and the behavior of those higher up make it obvious.

It seems like these things always go through ebbs and flows.  In a few years they'll probably be scrambling to recruit as many as they can again.

It is critical to the success of our nation that we reduce military spending

First off it is important that we somehow become much more aware of military spending. It is uncontrolled and the suppliers are much more to blame than is made apparant. We as a country are buying military jets that are not wanted and are not used in war, the very thing those jets were designed for. I don't remember the actual cost, I think 70 million each. Not only do we buy things not wanted but we continually make payments to suppliers like GE, Motorola and others but if and when those suppliers do not meet a deadline, they get paid anyway, monh in and month out. It is criminal but too bloated and complex so let it ride.


Over 60% of our budget goes to three groups. Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, and the Military. Each at close to 700 billion in 2010. There are problems with all three. But the military is by far the most inefficient and unregulated of all the groups.

Valdez, You've warmed the cockles of my heart with your post.  I know you and I aren't on the same page politically (because I can tell), and we mustn't ever talk together about Glen Beck, BUT it's so nice to know you see the craziness of the "Bin Laden On Ice" theory. 

I agree, too, that Jim Marrs sounds like a good ole boy, and his way of speaking soothes me into listening to him.  I like to hear him go on and on about the Kennedy conspiracies and UFO's.  When he moves over into his political views, that's a whole different ballgame.

Not surprised you noticed George's "como se llama" gaff.  I had only half a year of Spanish in junior high school a looooong time ago, and even I knew it doesn't mean "how are you."  If I remember correctly, it's an idiom asking for someone's name.  Did you notice Jim Marrs confirmed George's version with a gruff "Yeah"?  Two minds joined as one. 

[fysisist]

Just listening to the 5/09 show.  The talking mustache spoke of "derailed planes" when discussing the material recovered in the OBL raid referencing planned attacks on passenger trains to commemorate the 9/11 attacks.  Then he suggested that if he was the husband of the woman found in the Nevada wilderness recently, if he got lost looking for help, he would have gone back to the car.  That was all I could take of that show, what with the sycophants that call in sucking butt of the clown Noory.  All except for the part later in the show when he was agreeing with Jim Marrs that OBL has been dead for 9 or 10 yrs when just a couple days ago he expounded on the fact that he had no doubt that the US Seals had killed OBL in the raid on 5/02.  The clown Noory is an utter and complete charlatan and would be tarred-and-feathered and run out of town in any reasonably sane society.

I think Hoagland is the only one who bothers to correct him.  Tonight he said that he had gotten an email from a friend stating that "Obama was taken to Guantanamo Bay".  Now I suppose it's possible that our beloved President was whisked away for interrogation, but I'm sure he meant to say Osama.  Most people who make that gaffe correct themselves soon afterward, but, unless I missed it, George just marched ahead with no correction. and I suppose no one in his staff caught it or bothered to correct it either.
     Taking a page out of the Ian playbook, George does something different and interviews Dierdre Marie Capone, Niece of Al Capone, who says that Al was a nice guy, fed the hungry, and killed only those who had in coming to them.  Then, taking a page out of yesterday, George brings on Dr. Steve Pieczenik to push the "Osama died in 2001" thing again.  Everything I wrote in my last post applies here too.  George also expressed interest in broadcasting a show from prison.  Producer Tom likes the idea.  And I vote for throwing away the keys.

"...And I want the hungry fed."

Last night the live chat took place.  It's supposed to be a half hour with George Noory answering typed questions coming in from listeners.  He brought "Tommy" with him and announced that he would do the first 15 minutes and then Tom Danheiser would take over and answer listeners questions.  Awkward! 

Noory could not stand to hear Tom answer the questions and kept telling him what to say.  A listener asked if the callers were screened and Tom said yes.  Noory interrupted and said, "Tell them I don't know what the subject will be, though." 

One listener asked what George thought about all the forums that don't like Noory.  George said he used to engage them via email but not any more.  He said for each "hater" there are hundreds of fans who love the show, so why should he pay attention to them?  Someone asked how many listeners they had and the answer was three million.
