Anyone Interested in Starting a Community Blog Dissecting C2C Shows?

[astroguy]

After the latest absolutely disgusting Wells episode last Friday, including guests claiming that no one died at Sandy Hook and that the government will eventually charge you to reproduce because they'll own your genes, it struck me:  Perhaps we should start a blog - with several contributing authors - that attempts to objectively point out factual errors and fear-mongering on a per-show basis.


My idea is that there'd be one blog, and whoever listens first would start a post for that day if there was something that stood out to them as particularly insane.  Anyone else who's a contributor can go in and edit to add to it.  Doesn't have to be long, doesn't have to be short.  What would be best would be if something is factually wrong if they could provide a resource to show how it's wrong.  Or explain it logically.


Kinda similar to what I or Expat already do on our blogs, but it can be much shorter if you wanted.


The point is to provide a resource to people who search for the guest or topic that was discussed in as objective a manner as possible -- get your frustrations out here as you always do, but we want people to take us seriously on the blog.


Anyone interested?  If you are, please post here, and if you happen to be somewhat of an "expert" (professional or lengthy hobby), put that down, too.  If there's more than me and, say, one or two other people interested, let's go for it.




For example:  Me!  Astronomy, physics, geology, some medicine, and general knowledge of most topics discussed other than politics.

I'm in. I don't have any particular expertise to offer, but I'm a Coast Insider (until November) and I can write. If you think it isn't too provocative, I can offer the littlehaters.com domain and I can install and configure the blog software.

[awake]

I'm in as well, the show is way off the rails.  imho.  I'm not a writer but certainly there must be some capacity in which I may help.  You have my email addy Astro, let me know.

[Meanandnasty]

I can see it now:  HatertoHater.com or HatertoObjectiveInsider.com or HaterInsider.com
Note to self, Hate is the polar opposite of Love.  To be indifferent is the death of the audience's interest.  Really, by starting this blog everyone is trying to add to the truth of the show.  All like truth.  Noory says he is always in search for the truth.  Maybe he would want to contribute, too.

[astroguy]

For a blog title, I'm thinking "CoastWatch."  I also have a domain I can use (my innocuous "sjrdesign.net"), but I'm thinking something like just coastwatch.wordpress.com unless someone has an aversion to it being on WordPress's website.

[ziznak]

oooh! Coastwatch... sounds like a team of super heroes!

I'm down except I haven't really been listening lately.  I've seen the show have some slumps where there wasn't an interesting topic (to me) for a few days or even a week here and there.  I've never seen it suck for so long tho.  usually one of the weekend guys will kill the suck streak but for some reason even ol Knappy didn't hold my attention for long.  I even resorted to a blind listen of Jorch the other night. 

My area of expertise encompasses a sprawl of subjects: 
Computers, Music (guitar mostly), Kitty cats, weed, vaginas, cheeesesteaks, beer, drug trafficking and photoshopping jorch noary heads.

[stevesh]

coastwatch.wordpress.com is taken, but not being used. c2cwatch.com is available, as is c2cwatch.wordpress.com.

I have no objection to being on wordpress.com.

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

My biggest problem with coast is the spread of misinformation to naive listeners.  I may not contribute much but I'd like to see this.

Areas of education:  physics, engineering,  neuroscience.
Additional areas of interest that apply to coast shows:  astronomy, evolution

The paranormal shows are the hardest because anyone can say anything and there's no real evidence to support or refute their claims, apart from an adherence to the principles of physics.

[astroguy]

Okay, I've snapped up c2cwatch.wordpress.com .  Not worth the $18 to go to c2cwatch.com through Wordpress, I don't think.


PM me your e-mail address and I'll add you in as an Editor.

[astroguy]

P.S.  It's perfectly fine if we don't do every show, and if you only listen once a week or once a month.  It's more, if they said something on a show that particularly struck you as insane, see if someone's started a post for that, and if not, add it.  I typically listen to maybe 3 shows a week, so I won't be contributing to every post, but I may go in and edit or add a resource.


We should also back-date posts to be WHEN that show aired.  So for example, if I started a post about last Friday's episode, then it should be set as though it were posted on May 17, not today.  Should help keep things organized.  S.I.T. episodes would be different ... Wordpress didn't exist in 1999.

I don't listen to the show. I can give some explanation to many medical issues that are sometimes discussed on c2c. Mostly what I would write would boil down to quack.

Would you be interested in signing up and, if someone else posts a medical comment/discussion, then you could go in and add to the post?

Sounds like fun. I can't promise a next day response but I would be happy to explain fact to nonsense.

[ufogadfly]

Sign me up. In addition to having many years of experience hosting on radio, including some Talk, I have a lifelong interest in the UFO phenomenon, "paranormal" and the unusual. I've been posting here on the C2C pages for about 6 months, listening to the show since 1997. And, yes, my brain is turning to liquid.

[Scully]

As a lowly sociology major, I don't feel I have anything to offer this effort other than my admiration and moral support for those of you who do.   :

Coast to Coast has become a rogue elephant dragging a lot of people into bedlam, and it shouldn't be allowed to get away with it without at least a few mosquito bites from informed people who have so noted.


Go for it, Guys! 

[b_dubb]

I have the domain hoaxtohoaxam.com and I'm not using it. I'd offer web hosting for the site but that sounds expensive

[Gd5150]

Here's an idea, calm down. Open your minds. These are just theories in a country of free speech. A country who's govt has gone off a cliff. Whos govt is no longer for the people by the people. The truth will come out. And the mainstream media will protect the status quo. So relax.

Bored coast insider.

     Any means available (blogs, videos, musicals) to take on Noory and his henchmen are always welcome.  Your site has been added to my "favorites" and I plan to visit it often.  I was wondering though, is that the smallest font size in existence?  Does it cost more to make it a little bigger so that us geysers can read along with you young whipper snappers?  And that color scheme and layout is interesting also, I find it causes my mind to...oh heck, now I'm just being petty.  Good job, astroguy.  Kudos and vigilance.

[Meanandnasty]

Recruit followers.  Get the word out.  Enlist participants. Do an Alex Jones in reverse. The government will rise up.  Well, in this case bloggers can rise up and voice their opinion.  Just the same tactic, but done in a journalistic manner.

[stevesh]

I posted a link to c2cwatch on Hoagie's Facebook page. It's still there, but it appears that the Hoagmeister has abandoned his tens of thousands of followers. He hasn't posted there in over a year.

[Sardondi]

The problem with this is, it requires close listening, every night. And for someone who hasn't been able to listen to the show at all - not a second - for at least 2-3 years, that seems like asking people to willingly undergo the aural equivalent of waterboarding.

But some of us do, or just latch on to a single sentence and feel the need to stand on a soapbox.

I loved that, "a rogue elephant dragging...people into bedlam...", a very accurate way of describing the C2C effect.

Cross posting this from Well's thread. In summary, if he truly believes SH was a false flag, then he has to admit the murders did happen. If he doesn't think it happened, then it isn't a false flag. The term False Flag operation is becoming a pet peeve of mine. Sorry for the long post.


----------------------Per wikipedia "False flagdescribes covert military or paramilitary operations designed to deceive in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by other entities, groups or nations than those who actually planned and executed them. Operations carried during peace-time by civilian organisations, as well as covert government agencies, may by extension be called false flag operations if they seek to hide the real organisation behind an operation."

So, we can break that down into three parts.

A false flag operation requires three things. The party performing the act, the act being performed, and the party behind the whole thing but remaining hidden. The party performing the act is supposed to be an unconnected front.


There was only one act and that was mass murder. So from my understanding and very limited research, it can not be a false flag unless one acknowledges the murders did happen and acknowledge that the shooter was actually working for the government.

If someone claims no one was killed (ie: the government made it look like people were killed), it wasn't a false flag, it becomes something else.

If someone claims the shooter was a covert government agent and no one was killed, it is still not a false flag operation.


If someone claims that the kids were killed and the shooter was completely removed from the government in anyway. It was a mass murder and the person who claimed this is sane.



We can say it is splitting hairs but it really isn't. You can't call it a false flag operation without saying the gunner was a government agent and kids were actually killed.



I only point this out because:
1) False flag operation - is yet another overused bullshit word that meant something at one time but is now thrown about.
2) The people using it don't realize what it really means, making themselves look foolish. You can't say "Sandyhook was a false flag operation, no one got killed." It is literally an oxymoron.

You can say it was all staged, it was a huge government conspiracy, etc etc etc. But don't call it a false flag if you don't want to admit anyone was killed or there wasn't a killer. There is no other act committed at SH where one party got the blamed, and another is believed to be behind it all.


What does it matter how it is labeled? I think it speaks volumes of Well's knowledge on the subject if he can't get something like this correct. It discredits him because he doesn't perform any basic research. The average joe doesn't either, but the average joe isn't paid to speak to millions, chooses to speak about conspiracies, but can't get simple concepts right.

[expat]

You're absolutely correct. Is there some way we can force Alex Jones and Kerry Cassidy to read this?

[Cynnie]

Whatever happened with this ?
Can we just write our take in what the topic of c2c was about?
Can we just dissect it without being all college thesis about it?

1. It's up.  2. Yes.  3. Yes.

there was a few entries the other day when i last checked the site.  I can't wait until I'm moved enough to post to it though.
