Local Television Behemoth Launches George Knapp-Themed UFO News Site

11/12/2019

Last week, George Knapp launched Mystery Wire, a paranormal and UFO news service presenting his back catalog of local TV news reports about unidentified aerial phenomena, supplemented with other local news reports from his employer’s sister stations. It’s not a very well done site, and it contains very little original material, so I wouldn’t normally write much about it, except that the more I’ve thought about it, the angrier its existence makes me. The reason is that Mystery Wire isn’t owned by George Knapp but rather by Nexstar Media Group, one of the largest operators of local television stations in the United States. Nexstar and Knapp launched the service on KLAS, the Nexstar CBS affiliate in Las Vegas, last week. Here is how he introduced it to mark the thirtieth anniversary of his first broadcast UFO story, using archival footage and new commentary:

[archival 1989 clip] If we know anything about science it is this: the truth is always changing. What is science fiction today is science tomorrow. For instance, back in the 1800s, the scientific establishment scoffed at persistent reports from peasants and farmers and other country folk about rocks that fell from the sky. It took more than 100 years for the French Academy of Sciences to finally concede that meteorites were real.

[2019] Tonight, to mark the 30th anniversary, we are announcing another project. It is called Mystery Wire.

It’s a website, a living, breathing archive and repository for decades of news stories and interviews, along with up-to-the-minute reports, not only about UFOs and Area 51 but military programs and secrets, historical mysteries, aerospace tech, the test site, and a lot more.

He was off by a century on meteorites, incidentally, but who cares about accuracy when you’re a news reporter? The first claim that meteorites were rocks from space was published in 1794, and scientists of the time did not generally accept the fact until 1803—a total of ten years, not a hundred, and seven times shorter than the period from the dawn of the UFO era to today, where evidence for the existence of flying saucers still isn’t there. And, after all, when you have to reach back to the turn of the nineteenth century for an example of scientists disbelieving an aerial phenomenon later proved true, you might not actually be making the case you think you’re making.

What bothers me about this isn’t that one TV station has a wacky reporter with a looney obsession. Most markets have at least one weird broadcast journalist. It’s that Nexstar is putting its corporate resources behind a paranormal news service, apparently believing that conspiracy theories and extraterrestrial fantasies are a potential profit center. Worse, they are creating a separate and inferior news outlet to deliver conspiracy theories, pro-UFO propaganda, and To the Stars Academy of Arts and Science puff pieces. I’m not comfortable with the idea of broadcasters creating bespoke news outlets for controversial, or even fake, topics in order to slice and dice the audience by demographic, twisting the news to meet the audience’s prejudices and beliefs.

One might argue, for example, that this isn’t really different from Disney operating both ABC News for general information and ESPN for sports-themed news, or Comcast providing general news under the NBC News label while offering specialized content for businesspeople as CNBC, for busybodies through E! and Access Hollywood, and for genre nerds through Syfy Wire. This feels different to me because it is based not on a longstanding, generally recognized subject of journalism (sports, entertainment news, etc.) but rather pseudoscience, conspiracy theories, and belief. Imagine if CBS also ran a Q-Anon news service, and I think the problem starts to become clearer.

Nexstar should be ashamed of itself. It joins Sinclair Broadcasting, which infamously demands conservative propaganda run on its stations, in the pantheon of local broadcasters who subvert the spirit of journalism in pursuit of power and profit. (Both Nexstar and Sinclair operate stations in the market where I live.)

As if this website doesn’t spew its hate and lies for power and profit. He’ll soon be asking the 50 regulars for money.

There's nothing unusual or significant about lights in the sky, which is only anomalous aerial phenomena and not aliens from outer space.

The skies are a lot larger than the water on the planet, when you think about it - and it's impossible to know about everything that is natural - when it cannot be captured and subjected to laboratory analysis.

Yes. Hello, Peter?

Peter:
[on the phone] Is this the President?

Jimmy Carter:
Yes, it is.

Walter Cronkite:
Do you have a question for the President?

Peter:
[on the phone] Uh.. I uh.. I took some acid.. I'm afraid to leave my apartment, and I can't wear any clothes.. and the ceiling is dripping, and uh..

Walter Cronkite:
Well, thanks you very much for calling, sir..

Jimmy Carter:
Just a minute, Walter, this guy's in trouble. I think I better try to talk him down. Peter?

Peter:
[on the phone] Yeah..?

Jimmy Carter:
Peter, what did the acid look like?

Peter:
[on the phone] They were these little orange pills.

Jimmy Carter:
Were they barrel shaped?

Peter:

Jimmy Carter:
Okay, right, you did some orange sunshine, Peter.

Peter:

Peter:

Jimmy Carter:
Alright, Peter, just listen. Everything is going to be fine. You're very high right now. You will probably be that way for five more hours. Try taking some Vitamin B complex, Vitamin C complex.. if you have beer, go ahead and drink it.

Peter:

Someone puts up a website and its existence makes you angry? And the reason you're angry is the ownership? That's just silly and it besmalls you. (Yeah, I can Shakespeare. Live with it.)

Keep in mind that Knapp probably doesn't own the footage.

You pulled a huge boner by missing this:
"If we know anything about science it is this: the truth is always changing."

As a website it's no worse than the recent Huffington Post remodel. But taste is a personal thing, one man's meat is another man's poop.

"It’s that Nexstar is putting its corporate resources behind a paranormal news service, apparently believing that conspiracy theories and extraterrestrial fantasies are a potential profit center."

If you think they're not a potential profit center it's time to join the rest of us in the real world.

"I’m not comfortable with the idea of broadcasters creating bespoke news outlets for controversial, or even fake, topics in order to slice and dice the audience by demographic, twisting the news to meet the audience’s prejudices and beliefs."

I'm often uncomfortable. So?

"Imagine if CBS also ran a Q-Anon news service, and I think the problem starts to become clearer."

No, it doesn't.

Funny you should mention Disney. You're not upset about Disney removing classic movies from circulation?

No, quite the contrary, it makes me joyful. I was very pleased to read this post of Jason's today. And from the very bottom of my heart, my ticker, if you will, I am grateful for the insight you have provided into the phenomenon that Joe Scales characterizes as "stalkers and ankle-biters".

Speaking of Putin, Isn't it a Russian ploy to flood American media with fake UFO crap ?

Trust Kent to side with the Russian point of view on this. Rather than agree with Jason that the last thing we need is more BS fake Russian approved UFO propaganda.

Everything is coming up Putin for Comrade Kent.

"stalkers and ankle-biters" Sounds like what Joe Kent does with Jason.

Kent

11/12/2019 04:45:47 pm

The American media floods itself quite nicely, thank you very much. Recently with the assistance of the United States Navy. If you can pin that on the Russians you must be great in the sack because that's quite a contortion.

I don't view Russia as "the enemy". In this I am aligned with Obama's Secretary of State Hilary Clinton and her poorly translated "Reset" button.

Then again, I read Russian (speak it poorly), I've had Russian houseguests, and have escorted a Russian visitor to the U.S. Capitol. Still, I'm no Strobe Talbott.

Don't know how the bee got in your bonnet but if you want to believe it's "because the Kremlin" that's okay with me.

Eighty years ago if we can believe history as we were taught it, a brouhaha was started by someone who fancied himself anti-Russian among other things.

My Russian connections are nobodies, as am I. I don't understand your Russophobia but I don't judge. Some people are Russophobes, some are Russophiles. Similarly some are mycophobes and some are mycophiles. Ironically I'm a mycophobe.

Also, your "go-to" when there is someone eating your lunch, and you desperately want to change the subject you don't like is to throw out an off topic red herring to distract and change the subject.

To be clear I am unabashedly and 100 percent pro-Putin. I'm guessing this is a protected view in Canada. If not, Canada can go screw.

Your Prime Minister clearly hates black people so I'm in good company.

Just trying to convince yourself I suppose, which is kinda silly Joe Kent, because you already certainly know you are wrong.

Jim won't stop. Jim can't stop. He's obsessed with Wolter, so he pesters him nonstop creating multiple new screen names to do so on his blog. He's also obsessed with Patrick, whose facebook site Jim visits regularly, then Jim comes here to report on it despite having nothing to do with any topic Jason is currently covering. Likewise with his unhealthy fixation on Jovan Hutton Pulitzer. And these are just the ones we know of. Where else is this trolling and cyber-stalking taking place by this lunatic?

And now I fear I am the target of this demented and crazed imbecile. Yes, I punk'd him. I punk'd him pretty good. Played him like a violin, I did. So good, that he refuses to recognize it and continues his insane ranting in both mine and Kent's regard. Dude, you lost. You look stupid, because you are stupid. And since you're such a crazed poor sport, you won't stop. I could happily not respond to you should I drop off your radar. But you cannot show me the same courtesy. No. You pepper my posts with your sad, lonely and off-target barbs. The ramblings of a poor sport. A loser. A cyber-stalking imbecile.

As if Jason deserves this on his board. Some old, lonely, cyber-stalking, crazed imbecile who can't control his impulses. Jim also creates new screen names here. Quite often. Like that time I told him I didn't wish to engage him on this board. So he used another name to do so. This is odd to me, as I've only ever posted here as Joe Scales; maddening as that is to the mentally deranged that can't cope with having their biases challenged by yours truly. But not Jim. He'll post as Jim. Then he'll post as someone else. Again. And again.

That is pathological. That is sick. That is Jim.

Is he still Putin"s dog ?
Is Google eyes still pretending to be his lawyer ?
Has he put any more children in concentration camps ?

Ah! The old one drop theory! Not toooo racist, Jim. Jim. Your pigeonholing people according to race is quite interesting. I don't see color but that's just me.

Some background from a relatvely anti-racist website:
https://www.chronicle.com/article/How-US-Law-Inspired-the/239494

From The Quebec Gazette of 12 July 1787:

"For sale, a robust Negress, active and with good hearing, about 18 years old, who has had small-pox, has been accustomed to household duties, understands the kitchen, knows how to wash, iron, sew, and very used to caring for children. She can adapt itself equally to an English, French or German family, she speaks all three languages."

Looking forward to your future actually black, not blackface Prime Minister. Not holding my breath because you are a one-drop racist.

CALEB SEARCHER

11/16/2019 09:31:00 pm

I guess, long before Canada became a country there were slaves here as well as every other place in the Americas, therefore I am a racist ?
I dunno, slavery was abolished in these parts long before Confederation. Never been slavery in Canada.
P.S The Quebec Gazette was run by two transplanted Americans.

Slavery was banned for a short time after Georgia had already been settled as a matter of economic and political policy. The prohibition only extended to African slaves. It remained legal to own Native American slaves during the roughly fifteen years that African slavery was banned in the colony

Kent

11/19/2019 04:08:16 pm

You are correct. And that's how it's done, by actually being right. Jim.

Jim

11/19/2019 04:40:04 pm

Thanks Ty Cobb.
I knew I was right. Apparently Kent forgot what he was arguing about.

Kent:
"Wow, what a surprise! Jim says something that's obviously and demonstrably not true.

Besides being wrong to say I was wrong, we also see, thanks to this comment by Ty that Kent is obviously wrong here as well:

Joe:,,"When the colony of Georgia was founded slavery was forbidden there."

Ty:,,"Slavery was banned for a short time after Georgia had already been settled "

Wrongo Bongo, that's Kent.

Ty Cobb

11/19/2019 05:25:14 pm

The Georgia colony charter was granted in 1732 and early in 1733 the colony was officially established. African slavery in the colony was banned roughly two years later but did not extend to Native American slaves. The ban ended in 1751. Those are the facts or very close to them. I don't know whom that proves right or wrong I was just commenting in the general topic of slavery in Georgia after seeing it come up while skimming comments here.

There was slavery in the New World before the advent of the English, French or 'people of color' i.e. Spanish.

After the arrival of the English, Indians continued to own slaves. A few free blacks owned slaves.

Brazil got rid of slavery in 1888. Iran followed suit in 1928. It still exists in Arabia and Africa and the Washington DC area. Not something to hang your hat on.

I was waiting to see if you'd find the Indian angle Jim. But you didn't. Jim. Because you don't try. Jim.

There was slavery in Georgia when you said there wasn't ?

Also could you document Indians having slaves in America at that time ?
I know Native Americans had slaves but I wasn't even aware that there were Indians in N. America back then.

More like something to take it up with the United Negro College Fund.

Ty Cobb

11/20/2019 02:38:06 pm

I don't know what the United Negro College Fund has to do with this. Since there seems to be remaining confusion on the topic, one final attempt to clarify things. The anti-slavery legislation of 1735 focused on banning the importation and use of "black slaves and negroes." Ownership of Native American slaves was not outlawed. Prohibition of African slaves in Georgia for a brief period after the colony had already been established is sometimes conflated with prohibition of slavery in general. It wasn't. An excellent source for this topic is:

Baine, Rodney. 1995. Indian Slavery in Colonial Georgia. Georgia Historical Quarterly. Volume 79, #2: 418-424

Oglethorpe noted that there were few Native Americans near the initial point of settlement and that they were at peace with the English. Those utilized in the colony as slaves were acquired from the interior likely from tribes viewed as being enemies of Great Britain or at least allies of Great Britain's European rivals in North America.

Colonial policy toward the ownership of Native Americans by other Native Americans would be a different matter since some contact era tribes appear to have had slavery while others didn't, at least in the form of chattel slavery that evolved in the English colonies by the early 18th century.

Jim

11/20/2019 05:40:39 pm

Thanks again Ty, interesting history.

I wouldn't bother elaborating for Kent, as always, he has moved on since your information has shown him to be in error.
This is quite common in his quest to always be right and never admit to being wrong, once he is shown to be wrong he changes the subject or tosses in a red herring to distract.
Trust me, you don't want to get involved in any of Kent's arguments.
At this point, I will take my own advice and bow out of this pointless argument before he once again calls me an imbecile, and his other persona, Joe Scales, continues with his worn out smear campaign.

11/20/2019 07:17:08 pm

Most people when proven wrong will man-up and admit it and walk away with most of their pride left. Others will avoid further humiliation by quietly slinking away and maintaining a little pride. But this is kent/American negro/scales. He will just keep arguing and digging the hole deeper and deeper until everyone just rolls their eyes and walks away. He has no pride and isn't done here yet.

11/21/2019 08:50:46 am

Jim,

I don't consider myself to be arguing with anyone here. Just laying out some relevant facts and pointing out a published source on this specific topic for those interested in the topic and to allay what I saw as some confusion on the matter. What anyone here does with that information beyond this point isn't really of any concern to me. After reviewing the comments more carefully it would appear that the discussion is less about Georgia history and the history of slavery and more about ongoing feuds here. I have other things to do besides getting caught up in the affair.

Joe Scales

11/21/2019 10:06:27 am

Joe Scales

11/21/2019 10:21:37 am

Ty,
Not that you asked, but here goes...

Some time ago there was a member here who went by the name of "Gunn". He made ridiculous accusations in my regard that I was posting as numerous people on numerous blogs... all inside his head, apparently. The man was a lunatic, and wholly in error as I have only posted here as Joe Scales and was not responsible for any of these other personas. But he was so convinced that I was also posting as americanegro here that he broke down mentally over it and had his posts deleted by our host.

So this comes up again, when one of these characters that pollute the board with multiple monikers brought back the old accusations in regard to me, and now Kent. Now you have to also know that Jim has been pestering me on this board recently and I'd really rather not engage with him, as I simply do not respect his penchant for both intellectual dishonesty and stupidity; more so the latter than the former. So I only have one stock response for him when he does.

You see Jim had been interacting with both Kent and I for some time in a friendly manner, and only recently became belligerent due to his politics. So to get back at him, I punk'd him. I purposely culled Kent's language and made a calculated gaffe. It fooled Jim. Of course it did. Because he's an imbecile. I'm sure Kent gets a good laugh at it as well, as he knew from the get go. And of course he did, because he's not me.

So it's all very funny. But some folks can't laugh at themselves. Jim.

I'm not Joe Scales, or am I?

11/21/2019 10:25:07 am

A misplaced rant given that Kent not Jim is the one who has just been proven wrong here. Obsess much?

Kent/AmericanNegro should just happen along anytime now to try to tell us how Jim is somehow wrong by being right.

Notice that Joe has just posted back to back comments totaling over 600 words and has posted the same blathering statement on at least four other occasions in this discussion. Yet he thinks that Jim is the one with issues.

Joe has a habit of nitpicking with what Jason or others post here then turns it into a grudge when they stand up to him. Typical asshole who claims to not be looking for trouble, but sees anyone who disagrees with him as the one starting trouble which then in his mind gives him free rein to launch into endless insults.

The relationship between Kent and Joe and whether or not they are one and the same is the subject of much discussion here. Take Jim's advice and ignore him/them.

Joe Scales

11/21/2019 10:58:10 am

Uh, joe, the only way that you would have detailed knowledge of Jim's activities on other blogs that you find problematic would be if you were going to those sites and reading everything that he posts as well as everything he posts here. Keep this up and they will name a perfume for you. Obsession: by Joe sounds appropriate

"Uh, joe, the only way that you would have detailed knowledge of Jim's activities on other blogs that you find problematic would be if you were going to those sites and reading everything that he posts as well as everything he posts here."

He comes here and tells us, you stupid-ass. Quotes himself, even.

Again. I know why you change your moniker so often, as you embarrass yourself on a near constant basis. Same dumbass though. Each and every time. And why I want nothing to do with you, yet you cannot stop following me all over this board.

11/21/2019 01:40:32 pm

Uh Joe, Jim does in fact state that he posts on other blogs. Sometimes he briefly mentions this, sometimes he quotes all or portions of a post. However, you claim that when he does it it is never relevant to what is currently being discussed here. How would you make that judgement if you weren't going over everything that Jim posts here and elsewhere with a fine tooth comb. If you are keeping close enough track of this to accuse him of having a problem it would suggest that you have an unhealthy interest in keeping track of Jim. You are the only one who seems to have such detailed knowledge and insights into Jim's activities and their merits. You are the only one who has repeated the same diatribe about Jim's perceived errant behavior to the tune of about 6 to 8 typed pages of this text in this discussion alone. I think that meshes quite well with the definition of obsession. He hurt you in the past, didn't he????

I remember a few times when Jim brought up his posts on Wolter's blog. Nothing of my minimal memory of his comments strikes me as obsessive. Can't recall if the content or if it was relevant or not. I don't even remember Jim mentioning Pullitzer although he probably did. I don't even remember Jim mentioning Patrick although he probably did. I don't think that anyone other than perhaps "kent" can rattle off the names of three people with whom Jim has interacted. Either Joe Scales is blessed with incredible recall of all of Jim's actions going back months or maybe even years or he has made a point of assembling his own personal database on Jim's activities. The only real debate here is whether to classify Joe's behavior as fixation or obsession?

Joe Scales

11/21/2019 03:33:02 pm

It's really quite simple, even for an imbecile such as yourself. Jim stops. I stop. But Jim can't. Either can you. So I call you out as I see fit.

To quote that great 80s group Animotion's song Obsession which must be playing non-stop in Joe's head as he cranks out more of the same crap about Jim.

Kent the wannabe Brainiac was proven wrong in embarrassing fashion and then disappears. Joe Scales then turns up and spends the day trying to change the subject and burying the posts that proved Kent wrong by posting much the same stupid thing over and over. Now that is either teamwork by an inept duo or the work of a split personality with both sides being equally dumb and lacking in self-awareness. Like that fat stupid kid in 6th grade who sat in the back and ate paste and shit himself once a week but then yelled the same lame insults over and over at anyone who simply pointed out that he had shit running down his leg.

11/23/2019 09:20:56 pm

If by child rapist he means someone falsely accused of causing the death of a 26 year old woman then Kent hit the nail right on the head. Ignore him. Kent is just a sick fuck who wanted an excuse to talk about child rape or sexual deviance in general. Seriously, just ignore him. It will only get worse otherwise since he is just itching to trot out all the lurid details that were fabricated by Hearst and others to sell newspapers.

The Fatty Arbuckle critics occupy their own special niche when it comes to fringe history beliefs. Don't feed their fantasies.

Strong work, Jim! I've been wanting streamlined access to that stuff. Jason's work that he posted on the Russian "UFO" stuff/history is some of the most well-articulated shit, on a very well complicated subject, that is available. Just great, highly driven and passionate writing.

So, I'll share an anecdote.

A close relative that I visited on Veteran's Day brought up "The Mysterious Sky Sounds". Remember those? It started with a video from Kiev in about 2011.

This poor guy. He is right in there with the demographic that watches AA and listens to stuff like C2C. He just wants to be fascinated, and entertained. The idea that we are alone in the universe bums him out. That's not going to distract him towards peaceful slumber on a weeknight.

He was also the victim of numerous (more than one) network attacks against his personal information, as were many members of my family, at about the same time that the "Mysterious Sky Sounds", were produced. I'll get to how that's connected, in my mind, very shortly.

Did you know that you can walk in to any Walgreens under the sun and pick up this rag?:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Epoch_Times

Anyone that likes the idea of feeding your American family "The News" via Falun Gong? Feel free to "like" this post.

Anyway, Jason's ire is well placed.

There's all sorts of ways to "hack".

When I started to break down the "Sky Sounds" for my beloved family member? When I took him to the original 8 years old original Kiev vid and started to back him out of the hack? He actually got pissed. He interrupted me, "What, you figured that out, too!?". He was pissed. Tried to switch the subject to cat videos. "Sky Sounds" was off the table. No sleep that night.

I'm sick of this shit from way back. I know lots of us are.

There is a contingent of us that are not going to shut up while these dirt balls try to shore up their retirement prospects.

Because of that? They (look up "The Aviary" and throw in Bigelow and Knapp) are already at each other's throats. It's a desperate time for them.

And so there you go. Fuck Hackers and the horse they rode in on.

KENT is obviously in such a deep state of being looked after due to his mental disorder that he doesn't need to really be concerned about this sort of shit.

Do you, Rainman?

Lights in the sky are not aliens from outer space

When you analyse National Geographic documentary series "UFOs Untold Stories" the only credible reports were lights in the sky. lLIGHTS. As in Rendlesham Forest UK.

Lights. Lights. Lights. Military aircraft are scrambled to see those lights close-up and those aircraft NEVER REACH THEM.

"UFOs Untold Stories" was a serious attempt to present UFOs as a serious and credible subject matter and to the credit of National Geographic the channel did include balance on those 2012 documentaries by allowing rationalists like Mark Pilkingtom to participate.and offer alternative explanations.

Kenneth Arnold saw lights. Nothing else. His account only became popular because of Ray Palmer,

No sooner had Nasa published images of an ice lake inside a crater on the Martian plain Vastitas Borealis, than internet exo-archaeologists were excitedly pointing out the crumbled ruins of a vast, ancient city on the crater's banks.

"Kenneth Arnold saw lights. Nothing else."

Not quite. Kenneth Arnold most likely witnessed a test flight. Arnold described a squadron of planes with the flying wing design. The key was viewing an interview with one of the test pilots of the Flying Wing. Without computerized stabilization the craft would "bounce" forcing the pilot to "hold on for dear life". Just like Arnold described. "Like a saucer skipping across water".

Let people think aliens, instead of admitting to German Nazis and captured aircraft designs hidden in the American desert.

Uh, you don't do a test flight with "a squadron of planes" you stupid imbecilic fuckwad idiot.

Uhhh, you do if they are meant to be networked and flown together.

But, I think Arnold saw the sun reflecting off of his cockpit windows.

Otherwise, please don't cause me to post links to drone-shit.

This link will get you to even more photographs of the Nazi Flying Wing design. Imho, this is what Arnold saw a squadron of.

Not hard to imagine, really. In fact, if you said ran a Q-Anon-like news service... well, I suppose you weren't trying to be funny.

I look forward to the part where Trump had a chat with a foreign leader which is what one expects of a C level leader, and asked him to do something covered under a treaty ratified by the Senate and signed by Bill Clinton in 1999.

Jesus Hosing Christ, Jim. You are an imbecile. Jim. (Hat tip Joe Scales).

Jim feels a failure because he can't get his stuff posted on Wolter's board. His pathology can't navigate Wolter's pathology, and he posts here about "I just posted this to Wolter's board!" yet his posts never make the cut. Jim.

Jim specializes in a lot of tough talk about eating lunch but really he sucks. Ready Ted, Val Miller, E. Mealy El, all me, Jim, and all made it past the call screener. You can see my posts on Wolter's site, you can't see yours. Jim.

Jesus Christ what a fucktater. And Jim introduced Putin to the debate. Jim.

Wishing you the best.

Jim, sweety pie, babykins, rooty tooty, part of Alaska is in the Eastern Hemisphere, an arbitrary dividing line but one that everyone accepts. Jim.

This is a known thing. Jim.

Now you'll say some stupid shit about North Carolina and South Dakota without admitting that Reno is west of Los Angeles. Jim.

And in your stupid ignorant fuckitude, you ignored the "or" about Greeenland. You also edited out Wolter's claim (and NO ONE except perhaps you is backing him up on this) that Greenland is the eighth continent despite being on the same tectonic plate as your faggot riddled country. By that of course I mean you have a lot of firewood. Because of course you killed the Indians who were using it up. Made that last bit up, I know nothing about Canadian history. But I do know that Mongoloids use "Jim" as a term of derision. Because of you.

All the best to you.
Less killing please.
XOXO Putin.

p.s. Sorry Wolter won't post your nonsense. Take the hint.

P.S.S.,,, Reno is North of Los Angeles. If you go west from L.A. you are in the ocean silly.

And Georgia is north of Cuba. Are you telling me Georgia is not west of Cuba? Something can only be west of something if it's on the same line of latitude? You're really getting aggressive with your stupidity, Jim. Jim.

Pardon my ignorance but what exactly is a fucktater? There seems to be quite a few alluded to in these comments. Does the word describe a person who comments on anything but the subject at hand?

A man who believes he is an elected King.

Fun fact: the band Bad Company was originally named "Anthony Warren" his college professors told him email would come and that "zealots" would steal his Yahoo account so he sued them and they changed their name and the name of their song from Anthony Warren.

In certain closely held European libraries there are dictionaries with an image of Anthony Warren under the "fucktater" entry.

A small but perhaps telling anecdote: When Bob Lazar first surfaced and Knapp was promoting him like the Second Coming, I happened to be the city attorney of nearby Kingman, Arizona (not a UFO crash site, as far as I could tell from my conversations with old-timers who likely would have known). I wrote to Knapp at KLAS on my letterhead and offered to fund a complete background investigation of Lazar using the types of investigative services that attorneys typically use. I made clear that I thought we could establish pretty clearly whether Lazar's claims about himself bore any relation to reality. When I had heard nothing after a couple of weeks, I followed up with voice messages on Knapp's personal line at KLAS. I never got the courtesy of a "Thanks but no thanks." It told me that Knapp had no real interest in whether his gravy train's claims bore any relation to reality. I am astounded that, more than 30 years later. these two clowns are still around and that Knapp has any credibility whatsoever within the UFO community. On the other hand, perhaps I shouldn't be surprised at all.
