Ian Punnett

[11angeleyes11]

     George has Richard C. to kick around, and Ian has Harry Shearer, talking about New Orleans and Katrina, and his upcoming film, The Big Uneasy.  Shearer did a killer impersonation of Ross Mitchell that had me rolling.
     Huh?  What?  A founding member of Blondie is on talking about Carl Jung?  How did Gary Lachman get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame if he left the band before they became famous?  Is Pete Best in the Hall of Fame?  Anyway, I was recently reading about Carl Jung , and then Ian does this show, which is kind of like syncronicity.  Sort of.                                                                 
                                                                                                                                           

I am, too.  I thought it was syncronistic, but have not had the time to post it.  I saw it on the schedule Thursday nite.  I missed the show last nite, but will probably go back and listen to it.  Actually, the book I am reading is one he wrote and bought used at a UFO conference.

i'm a bit surprised this 911 discussion has fizzled out.  i was hoping it would turn into a conspiracy discussion extravaganza.

Your stunning defense of common sense and pragmatism has put an end to all this silly conspiracy talk.  That, in and of itself, is an extravaganza mucho bueno.

thank you, sir.

ok.  so i'd like to retract earlier remarks about the Pentagon 9/11 strike.  thanks to MV for sharing those clips. 

i read posts on this site on my iPhone (usually) which does not support Flash.  so i was unable to watch the clips until recently.

So Ian is taking the gold investment fools to task tonight.  Totally blew Snoorys assertion that you should buy gold so you can buy eFoods when the world goes kablooey.  Ian just took his guest through a series of questions just said - basically - that investing in gold as a way of preparing for the apocalypse is foolish.  Invest in gold COINS as a way to store your wealth and guard against inflation.

I like Punnet

I like Punnet

me too. good for him.

     In these days of uncertainty and fear, I was impressed by Andrew Gause's belief that the chances of a major American economic meltdown were...zero.  Peter Bogdanovich denied his role as director of the 1968 mega-classic, "Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women."

Ian Punnett sleep talking on air?

I think Ian finally snapped after listening to George.

     An open lines caller related some story about a guardian angel.  Instead of playing along, Ian said he had a problem with the whole guardian angel thing, with so many children killed in accidents, and murdered.  Although brutal and cold in his delivery, he has a point.

I did not hear the show, but I find this interesting.  This is also one of the arguments against the existence of a god, which I think Ian did not intend.  In effect, the Christian belief is that God is the ultimate guardian angel, and that "bad things happen" because of the effects of evil, human free will, and 'higher divine purposes'.

[b_dubb]

i believe this is called Theodicy which translated from the Latin literally means "the study of evil" but we can simplify and say "why bad things happen to good people".  i think when atheists use the argument ... if there is a "god" why do bad things happen to good people?  the idea that you could go through life immune to most/all bad things because you follow some doctrine is silly - clearly this is not the case.  "good people" have bad things happen to them all the time.  maybe god set a boundary where the divine ends and free will begins and will not intervene. 


personally .. i'm a nihilist/agnostic.  i don't believe that there is/isn't a supreme being.  i just don't know.  and i'm not big on spending a lot of time thinking about stuff that can't be proven/disproven.  the guardian angel stories are pretty unbelievable but in some cases maybe they are indeed true.  but then that raises more questions: why save some and not others? 


i hope this post makes sense.  i was part of a bachelor party last night.  my mind is still intact but i'm not altogether well.  and if i had a guardian angel it would not be terrible pleased with me

Maybe your guardian angel is a stripper/hooker who likes doing blow naked in the backseat of taxis that smell like cat piss & whiskey.  If so, you're golden.

HAHA, i read that and knew who wrote it before looking to see.  classic.

Oh my GOD it's our man PHAN!  So glad to see you.  What's up in your life?

I can't stand Ian.  Pure and simple.  To me, he comes across as a real pompous ass who is incredibly narcissistic.  It always bugged me when he would call in during the Friday night show just to discuss HIS upcoming show.  Also, his blog was extremely annoying, "I. P. Freeley"? A grown man, honestly.   The movie reviews bugged me too.  I don't know; his delivery, manner, and brusque way of treating guests (even Steve Quayle) just overall annoys me.  I stopped listening on Saturday altogether.
He's as bad as Snoory, IMO, just in a different way.

we all have our preferences, and yours are no less valid than those of the next guy.  however, in ian's defense, i will say that the whole friday night call-in thing was probably the network's idea rather than his.

Snoory would have just said "These things are happening A LOT......someone was watching over yeeeeew." and moved on to another 2012 call or an e-foods ad.

OMG that is hilarious!   did you make it?  If not, where did you find it?

I admit it, I made it.      That nutty caller gave him a great idea!

[EvB]

Classic!  I say send a copy to Ian - I've sent him spoof photoshops before, he tends to like them.

[racefanwfo]

ian punnett is a jerk off and should be removed from the show.
george knapp should be the host every sat & sun.
get rid of ian punnett now.

[EvB]

Hahaha Marc - great job!

May I show the waterfall one to my landlord?  the backdoor to my building does not have any kind of raingutter.  My CAR is out there - and every time I have to go out in the rain, it's like a scene out of LAST OF THE MOHEGANS.   Mabe if he sees your artwork - it will make an impression that my bitching has not!

you mean mohicans.

Yeah, Hawkeye and all those people. ;-)

And I can't help it if James Fenimore Cooper fucked up the tribal name.  You are right, of course, Cooper spelled it with an IC

[MV/Liberace!]

hey marc... ev says you posted some pictures here, and now they're gone.  i'm not sure what happened, but she'd asked me if i removed them, and i just wanted to say for the record that i did not.  as a matter of fact, i never saw them to begin with.

No big thing - I was just curious.

i was at a waterfall that looked almost exactly like this in ourika, morocco... minus the evelyn head, of course.

I tend to agree with your viewpoint.  He seems to be focused only on his own viewpoint.  That's not what this show (C2C) should be about - a self-absorbed part-time host.  I don't care what Ian's opinion is, nor do I care what George thinks, or Art or George Knapp.  A good host presents both sides (both Georges do this) and is polite to guests and callers.

I was very angry with how he treated a guest (Danish professor Niels Harrit) of a guest (Richard Gage) on his 8/21/10 show.  He was extremely rude to this professor, treating him like he was some stupid idiot, when, in fact, Prof. Harrit and eight other scientists wrote a paper about the nano-thermite (a new compound) they found in the rubble in NYC.  See http://nielsharrit.org/

Here is how the show was listed:

"911 DEBATE:

Date:      08-21-10
Host:      Ian Punnett
Guests:    Richard Gage, Dave Thomas, Kim Johnson, Niels Harrit


Richard Gage, from Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, and Dave Thomas, a physicist a physicist from New Mexicans for Science and Reason, joined Ian Punnett for the entire program to debate how the World Trade Center buildings collapsed on September 11, 2001.

Gage believes the WTC towers were brought down by controlled demolition involving thermite. "I think the dust of the World Trade Center reveals the secret of the cause that we're all looking for," he said. The dust contained billions of tiny spheres (about the diameter of a human hair) of previously molten iron, Gage revealed. This means the iron in the spheres sustained temperatures exceeding 2800 degrees, twice as high as what a jet fuel fire can produce, but within the range of a thermite reaction, he noted. In addition, Gage said the dust contained hundreds of small red-gray chips, which he identified as highly-advanced nano-thermite composite explosive material.

Thomas expressed his support for the gravitational collapse model. As the planes slammed into the twin towers, they cut through steel support structures and ignited immense fires across the floors of the building, he said. Heat from the fires further weakened the floor trusses, causing them to sag and pull in the perimeter walls, he continued. The additional weight, along with reduced support, sent the first section crashing down onto the floor beneath it with a force 30 times that of its static weight, Thomas explained. "The collapse was considered inevitable because every floor had even more dynamic force going at it," he added.

Responding to Gage's dust claims, Thomas pointed out that scientific analysis uncovered nothing unusual about the iron microspheres, and any ingredients taken to be thermite could just as easily be from the building's ordinary components (iron beams, paint, aluminum siding, etc). The two men argued about whether or not pools of molten steel had been found at the WTC site, if explosions and flashes of light were heard and seen that day, and what happened to all of the pancaked floors. They also shared their theories about what brought down Building 7 (the one not hit by a plane). Gage said it was a implosion produced by thermite; Thomas blamed damage caused by the north tower collapse, huge fires within, and a design flaw.

Physicist Kim Johnson and chemist Niels Harrit joined the discussion in hour three. Johnson observed that the WTC skyscrapers began falling precisely where they had been struck by the planes and the fires broke out, evidence he believes favors the gravitational collapse model. "A steel-framed high riser does not collapse due to fire," Harrit responded, citing an experiment by British Steel that showed an 8-story steel structure could repeatedly withstand attempts to burn it down. Harrit, like Gage, thinks the three buildings were brought down by controlled thermite explosions. Johnson called attention to the fact that none of the hundreds of dogs used to locate survivors, many of them cross-trained to find explosives, detected any trace of thermite at the 9/11 disaster site.
