Those are good points Albrecht.  You are correct about what happens once they start going down the rabbit hole.

This is no surprise. You see this phenomena is any "far" community: UFO, Bigfoot, communists, fascists, cults, far-left parties, far-right parties, organized crime, "terrorist" groups, etc.  (This is a general comment no value judgement is being made of any of those things, though most are bad, but any marginalized can become paranoid and mistrust is sown amongst themselves by others and by each other.) Alex has had feuds with many.  Of course there is his ego and style but there is also much jealously that he has been able to "make it big" where others languish. (Success for some means "you must have sold out" or "have secret backers.")

And paranoiac conspiracy theory becomes harder to stop once you start in down the rabbit-hole and build your show (or even life) around it. Almost like the awful political-correctness and cultural relativism in normal society. You can't really question another's theory, especially if their's, like yours, can't be "proven." Or you do and risk feuds and recriminations. So everything becomes some "part of a plan!"

For some time there also has been some criticism along these lines that "Alex is a gatekeeper" because he married a Jewish woman and has some "hot-shot Jewish lawyer" who has done some dealings/lawsuits with regard to some stuff in the past. Then you have others who don't like his relationship with the gold and his "network" and treatment of former employees and friends. Who knows? The price of being on the fringe and into paranoia is that you must expect blow-back and former friends/associates to accuse you. I think, besides the clever use of "free", youtube, local access, SW, etc Alex "made it big" not because he was "connected" (though his family had some money) but not that he is Isreali/Mossad/CIA/-insert-whatever "gatekeeper agent" but he was smart enough to NOT go full-bore into areas like anti-Jew, white supremacy, outright calls for violence, and, less frequent "preaching" (though he can do this in a tirade) and so on. I'm not saying I agree with him or even like him but just explaining his success. Also not saying that Welles was into the racial angles but some of Alex's feuders were more on that spectrum. Which is hilarious because you have the "hate" groups like SPLC on occasion bitch about Alex and then you have "hate" groups as normally thought-of bitch about Alex. Hahaha.

Also, I could have sworn I just heard Wells voice on a tv commercial while watching channel 9 wgn from Chicago.

Yeah, there was a strong undercurrent of professional jealousy there.  Michael the Savage Weiner drives a Mercedes, while all JBW has is a Waaaambulance.  A Butthurt Dating Service would be right up his alley.  And I always enjoy seeing the word "twaddle" wielded.  It certainly applies in this case.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt this way.  After he was done slamming Jones, Savage and Noory (which was great) he went right back to the paranoid false flag-type stuff.  Clearly the same as when he did the Coast show.  Just read the comments on that youtube page and you can see he still has the paranoid Jones fanbase posting their false flag garbage. 

I like to hear what she has to say.  She is clearly smart and the topics actually have substance.  That's more than I can say about several show hosts on dark matter right now.

I think she has improved since earlier too.

im hoping for "i will retire and hand the show into the very capable hands of george knapp"

A year or so ago I heard Knapp host open lines when noory was gone one night and it was one of the best C2C shows I heard in awhile.

I thought the show was great.

Thanks for mentioning that they are on BBC America.  I'll have to check it out.  I have a feeling I would enjoy TNG more now than I did during the original run.

I'd also like to check the Scott Bakula show as I didn't see that series when it was originally broadcast.  I didn't see any of Voyager either.   I think I'll stay away from DS9.

I miss Nimoy too.  My wife likes watching home remodeling shows and Shat seems to pop up on those rather frequently.  The man must have an incredible metabolism.

I remember the original series from years ago and the beginning of TNG with the Q which I have watched some episodes again lately on BBC America.  I'm not sure if they're airing all the episodes though.  Never watched DS9 and can't stand the ferengi either.  I noticed it's on Netflix and might watch it one day. I read about a new series (or maybe its a movie) called renegades, from what I saw it doesn't look very good.

Tomorrow is more 9/11 bs, and Iraq cover ups. So the lunatics are are just getting fired up in time to remember the men and women we lost fighting here and overseas no matter if you agree with what got them there... and then Monday ON Memorial Day we get alternative health and Hollywood insiders, and it is all pretty damn sad from a guy who was in the Navy.

That flat-earth show the other day was especially bad, it might be a reflection of your typical coast listeners these days Art can't return soon enough. 9/11 truther, flat-earth theory and vitamin supplements.  That seems to sum up C2C now, sad.

jazmunda please send me the fax, I don't think I read it yet.  1-555-951-KNYE

Can someone mention KNYE to Art? 

Quote from: jazmunda on February 24, 2015, 05:35:16 PM
No show tonight. We're winding down.

They want to charge full price when Art doesn't even intend to play the entire songs.  Why isn't there a discount if it's bumper music?

"...Why not just syndicate it out of KNYE?  Art should make KNYE the flagship of DM."

Now I realise there's something I forgot about, HD FM radio.  If KNYE ever adds a HD radio transmitter they can broadcast multiple stations on a single FM frequency.  It's been around for years though never caught on.  But that's OK because even if no one ends up listening to or picking up the HD signal, it could still be used as the flagship for the show and can still be syndicated out to other stations.  So you could have something like this...

95.1 - Regular KNYE same station as it is now.
95.1 HD2 - Home of Dark Matter Radio, stream and syndicate the show out of this new second station, nothing changes for the normal listeners of the current KYNE.

Or just have Dark matter on KYNE and move that block of music to the HD2 station during Art's Show?

If he worked out an agreement with KYNE to add Dark Matter HD2 station, it would still originate from the FM signal and should be covered by the existing royalties agreement? If commercials could be sold it could pay for leasing the second channel, royalties would be taken care of and DMRN's streaming seems to be very reliable as it is.  The existing KYNE format could continue as is for the listeners.  At the same time Art would be given a platform for his new show hopefully with the royalties stuff all worked out.

32 grand a month on top of building the studio itself to start? Ouch. Commercials and live reads would help mitigate cost but not that much.

That is outrageous that they want to charge that much.

The thing that surprised me when he had his DMRN show, was when his call system messed up.  He would have to reboot his computer on air and the listener would have to wait for it to come back online.

they cant . premier radio owns them, not art bell or kieth rowland. although i wish art would send me all his old (pre-premier) vcr tapes of his shows so i can rip to mp3 ...

Ouch.  That sucks they won't let him have those shows. 

Quote from: MV on December 22, 2014, 10:05:32 AM

yeah, i understand that, but those shows are all readily available on their own.  when art comes back, i'd like to be able to tune in his stream and know what i'm going to get, 24/7.


to be totally honest, i never really cared enough about the genre to hear it discussed by anyone other than art.  there has been a lot of talk about "successors", but i don't think there can be one.

This is true^^

I wouldn't mind hearing old Art shows replayed on Dark Matter Radio.  No one else can do this as good as Art.

No one can.

It hasn't been properly explained

I always miss it live, ended up listening to the download. I didn't try to explain what I was listening to this time. Wanted to avoid a repeat from the last time I woke everyone up from laughing, so I just said I had been drinking.

Rollye James was great, she reminds me of someone I knew once who loved playing softball.   

Quote from: Soylentblue on January 29, 2015, 06:57:50 PM

Why a show like Bill Birne's Future Theater isn't repeated more often or in a "prime" spot is beyond me. In my opinion this show sounds the most professional and polished of all the shows on Dark Matter.

Yep, Future Theater is the only show on DMR I'll listen to almost every week.  Don't care for the rest of what I've heard on the channel. 

Scam Artist Steve Quayle is on Coast later tonight fear-mongering.  I'm sure Quayle will try to sell more gold and to tell us what we should do with our own finances.  One thing's for sure: it will be bad advice but that won't matter since the majority of the coast audience doesn't know it's bad advice.  So get ready for Quayle's stock market speculation because he will tell us how to 'time' the market and get rich from buying gold because the next market crash is right around the corner so buy his books.  This horrible show tonight will have tons of doom and gloom directly from the bottom of the barrel.   

Syrett is one of the better hosts I have heard in a while.  The damage was done by the time he started filling in.  I listened tonight and though he's not bad, those callers are at the edge of complete insanity and I guess that could be the fault of the main weeknight host who just feeds their psychosis and encourages it.  I don't hear much logic or intelligence being presented these days and is most troubling.  I'm holding out judgment for the real test for Syrett because the next show has Scam Artist Steve Quayle on.  Will he call out any of the BS Quayle will use to try selling the gullible Coast listeners- also the dumbest people on the planet more gold and efoods through fear tonight?

Quote from: 136 or 142 on December 19, 2014, 02:17:06 AM
While Putin enabler Stephen Cohen mostly told the truth, he did not tell the whole truth:
1.Putin enabler Cohen neglected to mention that former Ukranian president Viktor Yanukovich wasn't exactly overthrown in a 'coup'.  Yanukovich had his security forces fire on protesters killing at least 42 of them.  After that, he was voted out of office by the democratically elected Ukranian parliament.  I suppose Cohen might argue that the parliament did not have the authority to do that, but Yanukovich did resign before trying to take back his resignation.


2.Putin enabler Stephen Cohen said he disagreed with Wesley Clark's assessment that Putin was the most aggressive Russian (Soviet) leader since Stalin.  I'm not sure how he can.  While Nikita Khrushchev was in power during the Cuban missile crisis, he was far from a hawk and pushed for closer relations with the west.  His successor after his ousting, Leonid Brezhnev, was initially a hard liner but later pushed for detente. His successors Andropov and Chernenko were both old men who barely governed before dying and then came Gorbachev and Yeltsin.


Putin, in contrast has invaded Ukraine (despite denials) and Georgia, fought civil wars in his own country, sent planes and submarines into other countries' territories, dramatically increased military spending (though it's still nowhere near the horribly bloated U.S defense budget), is building new nuclear weapons and allegedly believes that Russia could win a nuclear war.


3.While I don't want to risk invoking Godwin's law, I will point this out. Putin enabler Cohen pretty much stated that he thought Putin's position of 'defending' Russians outside of Russia was justifiable.  He doesn't seem aware that Hitler used the same argument to take over the Sudetenland and Austria and invade Poland. Given that Europeans of all nationalities live all over Europe and that defending nationalities outside the borders would risk wars all over Europe, I don't see how Cohen can seriously believe Putin's stance is justifiable.


4.Putin enabler Cohen mentioned that Putin had an 80% approval rating in Russia. While I don't doubt that he is popular and that many Russians sadly approve of his Cro-Magnon conservative social policies and his invasion of Crimea, Putin enabler Cohen neglected to mention that the Russian media is controlled by Putin (or his administration at least) and that pro Putin propaganda programs are regularly aired on Russian TV.  This,  no doubt, plays a part in Putin's high approval rating.


So, all in all, Putin enabler Cohen was up to his usual enabling.

Cohen sounds like a kremlin apologist, I bet he got his talking points from RT. 

What a traitor. 

I wish Jimmy would stay away from these Sandy Hook conspiracies.  All those kids killed, pretty disrespectful.

There was another amazing episode of Paranormal Central last night.  The chief goober, whom I assume is Gonzalez, revealed that he spends a lot of time on Facebook trying to find out what is going on.  He pointed out that most people don't have time for this.
Also, he was at a non-specified place and saw a pallet of "supplies."  Then he speculated that Ebola is a false flag. Then he wondered why, if "they" are spreading a virus to kill us all, are they sending pallets of supplies all over the country.  The other host supposed it was a controlled false flag, and Gonzalez agreed.

What an interesting exchange.  Are the holes and leaps of logic simply stupidity, a lack of knowledge of logical analysis, or signs of a mental disorder?

Where are the sources to back up any of these wild crazy theories?  I think I caught the replay this morning, I heard him mention military aircraft spraying ebola from the sky, then to Benghazi politics and mentioned the evil 'liberal media' and the computer chip they will be giving people in liquid form in vaccines REALLY?  What the heck is this guy smoking?  It took me some time to realize this was not a parody show and these guys were actually being serious. 

Gosh this guest is insane.  Who let him out of his padded cell?  He's pretty rude to the callers and sounds like he almost had some kind of meltdown.  Jimmy Church is one of the better hosts on DMRN but maybe he needs higher quality guests. 

He should cut this awful guest, biggest jerk on earth I have ever heard.

Mark Dice is full of shit and way too worked up, someone give this guy a joint so he can chill out a bit. 

The guy on now talking about 'evidence' from remote viewing 9-11.  He said the jets didn't bring down the twin towers, that there should have been a 30-story pile of rubble, the asbestos would have prevented the jet fire from bringing it down instead it was vaporized, this is the 'remote viewing' data.  If Art was doing this interview he would have stepped in with tougher questions.  I usually like Jimmy Church and think this is the best show on Dark Matter Network, but if he keeps doing these 9-11 truther shows I'm not sure. 

I agree that secret teachings show SUCKS!  The Late Night in the Midlands host was on a few months ago talking about how that secret teachings show was so great, this was before his half hour tirade bashing the listeners where he repeatedly said he doesn't "give a shit" what the listeners think.  Both shows suck big time.  I have not listened to those two shows since then and won't listen to DMRN on the weekends anymore because of those shows.

he is fairly decent. certainly better than the snooron. has his up and downs.probably tied for the best show on DMRN with batemans show.

JC is the least annoying host on DMRN currently, even if he goes on and on about that Malibu base expedition that never seems to actually happen.
