George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[Frys Girl]

Don't worry about it, Valdez, I'm a left-leaning loon who thought the same things you did.  In fact I thought Sale gave Ed Dames a run for title of "Doctor Doom."

Skipped the 1st hour -- just can't take any more of that cancer stuff -- still waiting for George to be arrested for his role in scaring cancer patients into the arms of quackdom.

Did suffer through hearing Sale tell Noory he'd like to see earth's population cut in half.  Now that gave me pause ...

Best Nooryism of the night for me:

George:  "Why does coral have to live in salt water instead of fresh water?"

Guest:  "That's a 'why is the sky blue question', George.  Can't be answered."

Scully lol! I remember that too. I also recall when George said "So it looks like a plant but it's an animal?" He's such a little kid. It was funny because of how he said it.

[Frys Girl]

LOL @ the moment when Dr. Coldwell told the caller "Don't Vorry Sweetheart. What you have is herpes."

[stevesh]

Did suffer through hearing Sale tell Noory he'd like to see earth's population cut in half.  Now that gave me pause ...

To be fair, that's not what he said. He suggested that the sustainable carrying capacity of the earth was probably around 2-3 billion humans. It was Noory who immediately spun it into his paranoid delusion about the Illuminati plot to kill most of us.

Tonight's show with E.A. Koetting was a classic example of what a total clusterfuck C2C has become. An engaging, articulate guest (no matter what you may think about his immersion in the occult) wrestling with a stupid, blabbering host who became obsessed with the guest's "dabbling on the dark side" and who wouldn't talk about anything else. (Dark side or not, Georgie, the guy does this for a living - he isn't 'dabbling'.)

Then the C2C producers once again proved their complete incompetence at call screening by allowing all the callers save one to get on the air and drone on and on about themselves. One caller actually asked the guest an intelligent question. Unless the total C2C audience consists of self-obsessed morons, they must get some intelligent callers. Why don't they put them on the air ?

[valdez]

     Is synchronicity and fate the same thing?  What about synchronicity and intuition?  What about digging up a dictionary, George?  Oh, yeah, you banned them a while back, so simple definitions of words are now fodder for interview questions. Bill White on synchronicity, then George opens his segment with occultist, E.A. Koetting, by assuring us that the occult doesn't necessarily mean the dark side.  Once Koetting told him he was happily indulging in the knowledge and power of this "dark side", George didn't know how to handle it, and kind of went in circles from then on.  When George used the term "dabbling in the occult" to describe what Koetting does, Koetting said he was "beyond dabbling" and was now "fully immersed", but George went on to apply the term eight times after that.  Was George not listening?  Didn't care?  Unable to deviate from the index cards?  This should have been a interesting "Worker in the Light vs Darkness Boy" show, but that would have required a worker in the light...whatever that means.

George has to be the most incompetent host I have seen.  Didn't hear tonight's show, so I opened up the first two links when I googled Koetting's name.  Three minutes of skimming another interview by him brought out the two quotes below as well as many others.  I know it would be insane to expect him to actually read the book, but could he not even bother using Google and doing 5 minutes of research for his interview?  Just when I think he can't get worse I realize that he can't even be bothered to pull up the first google link on somebody prior to an interview anymore.
Q: Your upcoming book "Evoking Eternity" is the part of the "Left Hand Path" series of books. How would you define the "Left Hand Path" i.e. what does that term mean to you and what attracted you to it?
E.A.Koetting: The Left Hand Path is really the spiritual path of the forbidden. You can look at the surface and say that the Left Hand Path is that which is evil, dark, nefarious, or even sinister and predatory...
Evoking Eternity is a great example of this, because while it is not sinister or dark at all, especially in comparison with my earlier works of Baneful Magick or Works of Darkness. It does, however, fit wonderfully into the above definition of the Left Hand Path, as two-thirds through the book, you will be performing rituals that every occult writer and mentor has admonished against, for fear of the safety or sanity of the Operator or the resilience of the veil between the worlds.

And that jackass couldn't have guessed that, perhaps, Koetting is on the "dark side" from that?

...they must get some intelligent callers. Why don't they put them on the air ?

To protect Noory.

[FightTheFuture]

I`m just impressed that folks can still listen to Noory. I can`t get past his opening segment. He`s HORRRRRRIBLE! How can you listen to that idiot??

Sorry; I get a little emotional. I knew Art Bell ( well, his show) long before he went C2C, and I am still in shock from his departure. I swear, i think I need GD counseling or something.

That is all.

[General Johnson Jameson]

Noory searches for crop circles in litter boxes. Fuck Noory.

[General Johnson Jameson]

Ok, if it hasn't already been clearly obvious, the J.C. that calls the show now is a total fraudulator. This is not the J.C. that called Art in the 90s and in my opinion, is a reimbursed participant to the program.
His latest call was a total sham and anyone with a Peenman Enterprises Bullshit Detector should easily pick up on this. Noory, you deceptive bastard, it is time you profess the truth behind the phony J.C. Something you have been unable to do for going on the better part of a decade you horsecock peddling schmo. You are the biggest hoax in the paranormal field. Pissant sumbitch.

[fysisist]

I'd hate to be one of his grandkids, knowing my grandfather didn't give a crap about the world he'd left for me.

I would just hate to be one of his grandkids, period.

yeah i noticed the current JC sounded different in the past several years compared to the JC that called Art in the 90s.
noory must have hired a JC impersonator when he took over as host since they seem to be able to reach him easily now, like when he setup a debate with some other guy a few years back.

[Digitech]

It makes you wonder about some of the other recurring callers which George has had since he took over, like Oscar -- Anyone remember that guy?

[beachcomber]

But what's hilarious is he took a call recently from a guy who said we needed to start spending on our infrastructure.......and of course, Snoory agreed.

Totally mallable, or just stupid? You decide.

1) GN doesn't question the assertions of guests because he can't think on his feet long enough (even though he paces during interviews) to figure out how to pose an intelligent question.
2)GN practices a twisted, fear-based version of the Golden Rule : "I don't want to ask any questions of my precious guests because I don't want them asking me anything that requires thinking."
3) His "system" requires asking questions from his 3x5 cards only. keep moving - maybe nobody will notice...dead air phobia.

[beachcomber]

Michio says,
Is he deaf or is he watching SpongeBob Squarepants YouTube videos while he searches for his latest ratings?  The guy has an attention span the size of a gnat.

You're onto something there
Recently child psychologists have found that watching SpongeBob Squarepants leads to an inability to concentrate (ADD) among young children.
It's harmnessful.

He seems like he is performing a skit now versus being legitimately pissed off when he called Art...sometimes in the middle of a paranoid meltdown. Remember when J.C. went nuts accusing Art of hiding in his bushes? Said Art threatened to kill him cuz J.C. wouldn't let him come over to his house and cutting the brake lines on his truck.

JC Gos Crazy:Coast To Coast AM

See, I always figured there were a couple pranksters in J.C.'s hometown and they figured out that he was calling Art. Soo, they call J.C. and mess with him, perhaps with a voice disguiser like Art used when he would talk like the Devil. Why else would he say Art was hiding in his bushes  (sounded pretty credible to me) and calling his house starting shit?

The luster of it wore off for me when he called Noory (whom sucks) and said he got mugged at the chicken ranch while out searching for Art in the desert. Now we have him claiming he has Edna in a straightjacket. Bullocks I say!

Memo to Peter Sale:  get off the planet, you creep live long and prosper.

Bwaaaahahahahahaha         Valdez, I think I love you!

[Scully]

To be fair, that's not what he said. He suggested that the sustainable carrying capacity of the earth was probably around 2-3 billion humans. It was Noory who immediately spun it into his paranoid delusion about the Illuminati plot to kill most of us.

Yeah, I knew I was paraphrasing the point as it came across to me.  See how easily George's trail of breadcrumbs distracts people?  I heard what I'm used to hearing on C2C, and that's scary. 

[Morgus]

It makes you wonder about some of the other recurring callers which George has had since he took over, like Oscar -- Anyone remember that guy?

yeah Oscar was Noory's first attempt at a JC-knockoff, another obvious plant/paid caller.
When they found a JC impersonator, Oscar was dumped years back apparently.

[Frys Girl]

Something is seriously wrong with George Noory's ability to speak. I know we always point out how much he butchers words, but it's more and more common.


I'm listening to last night's podcast with the occult guy, and 1 minute into the second hour and every other word is mispronounced. He has a condition and I'm sure of it. I wish we had a speech therapist among us. He can't pronounce the last syllable of words. Some of the words are totally connected to the point of incomprehension.


Please fire George Noory. He is not qualified to be a radio host.

[fabucat]

Oh, goodie!  It's another health show.  This time the "good doctor" seems to be strongly advocating for not following the "traditional" treatments for cancer.  While he claims to not be telling people what to do he is rehashing the points that Chemo therapy is poison and will kill you (statements like that sure do push people in one direction.)  45 minutes of this quack is almost enough... I think it is time to go put a second coat of paint on the windows.

I appreciate alternative treatments as much as the next guy.  No doubt there are things that you can do in your life to prevent cancer or help treat it.  However, it scares me when he says that he sold 150 000 books after he was on coast last time.  How many deaths can be directly attributed to this quack dispensing his information to the gullible?  When he promises that you can see the cancer "dissolve on impact" and that you will regrow healthy cells in "21 days" it is pure quackery.  Provided the medical treatment did not do too much harm to the terminal cancer patients he can cure them in 2-16 weeks.  What a load of S##!...

Hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, colloidal silver, and you are cured of cancer.

HaHa.  Now it's "7 days of Ritalin and you are a Heroin addict."  I take it some days and don't bother taking it for weeks at a time.  Perhaps I should try that with Heroin- according to his theory I must be immune to addiction. :

A quack being interviewed by an idiot.

I've taken Ritalin & Adderall for years.  Someone should tell these anti-drug idiots that people who gravitate towards Ritalin & other stimulants are TOTALLY different from those who seek downers. 

Anyway, one of the reasons I want to see this movie Contagion is that the script completely OBLITERATES this blogger who is an alternative medicine quack.  The blogger tells his readers that a) the government is COMPLETELY exaggerating the situation; b) the government caused the crisis and c) he has the only known cure for the disease, which is some "natural" plant or animal.  The blogger in Contagion reminds me of a Noory guest, lol. 

[El Kragen]

That's probably the case. I remember back when Noory first took over the show JC called in and was going off on a rant. He ended it with something to the effect of "...like when Mike Siegal almost RAN THIS SHOW INTO THE GROUND!" Snoory immediately dumped the call and mumbled that he wasn't gonna have that kind of talk and Mike Siegal was a great broadcaster. That was probably the last straw for Noory.

[fabucat]

     That would have been Dr. Leonard Coldwell, followed by enviromentalist Peter Sale.  I really didn't want to write another post amicably lampooning another left leaning, well intentioned, fellow human who seems to like coral reefs a lot, as do we all, because I don't want to come across as a right wing loon, and things can get mighty ugly around here when politics "breaks out", but when Sale talks about how humans are destroying the earth,  and how we should be "curtailing population production", and George , who is supposed to be Mr. "I don't believe in man made whatever", and is always railing against these population reductionist, just rolls over, what's a right wing loon supposed to do?   Memo to Peter Sale:  get off the planet, you creep live long and prosper.

I love this stuff

I guess that a left wing loon following a right wing loon on C2C is what keeps me coming back.  I also don't feel like such a "Communist" in right wing radio parlance, when someone like Russ Baker *totally* pisses me off as much as righty fave Joel Skousen does.  Ideally, every radio show would have such a variety of opinions, too bad Noory is so clueless.  The host has a variety of opinions, depending upon the day and the hour, lol. 

[11angeleyes11]

Good Times! I am listening to last nights show on Coast Insider.

George is soo interested on the Dark Side and he is getting very inquisitive and comments something like "Now, Don't think I am being judgmental . . (as if to make it sound like he is getting down and dirty in his interviewing)  He must conceive that he is throwing out hard ball interview quesitons.  Somehow, even in his most direct and pointed questioning, he is speaking Whiffle Balls. 

George, he is heating up and searing, on the dark side.   He is on fire!

Pants on fire?

[Rico999]

You know, there's nothing like this guy that I can recall in the media.  He's this inside joke that more and more people are figuring out all the time.  The anti-Noory websites are all over the place.  Hell, that old GLP site had over 1000 pages as I recall. 

And you know why.  He continually provides never-ending parody and satire for his critics. And he does it effortlessly -- by just being himself.    It's obvious that he's well aware of it, too,  which makes it even funnier.  It's endless.  There's a few sites that have some really good photoshopping going on, despite George's efforts to clean up the web of the photo gags that feature him.

Here's a great idea for a magazine piece: "The Noory Haters: Who are they? What do they want? Are they taking over??"  For crying out loud, The Onion ought to pick up on this and fast!   

Don't you think George is RIPE for getting a pie in the face from that group of anarchists that unloaded on Bill Gates?  Damn, that was funny seeing Gates' face smeared with pie cream or shaving cream or whatever it was...and Noory would be, well, damn,  it'd be the Holy freaking Grail, is what it'd be!

Catching George at his "Great Greek" hangout in Sherman Oaks would be the perfect venue.  (George's going to reinforce his personal "security" after reading this)  So picture the Snoron holding court with all his flunkies when some simpering "fan" comes up to the "King,"  like to ask for an autograph and then......WHAM! And all of it goes viral on YouTube, of course in literally seconds...

Better still would be a gang-pie-ing which would include George, Tahmmy (this poor sap -- he gets so little respect that no one even bothers to spell his name right anymore) and take your pick: Ed Dames (They'd have to use a children's size pie, because a full size pie might actually physically KILL him (asphyxiation on the creme -- REMOTE VIEW THIS!!)), Steve Quayle (depending on how much crank and Red Bull was in his system, he could possibly end up with a heart attack) or Alex Jones (who'd probably EAT the pie for the sugar rush -- along with that what ended up on everyone else)!

We can dream.

The minutes are ticking away.  I know, bad joke, but what do you expect from a middle child?

Research breakthrough: It has been stachtically found that fans who  are middle children are stronger  supporters of George.

[stevesh]

Everyone up for tonight's 3 hours of Lyme Disease?  Hurry, it'll be on in a few minutes!

Not the worst C2C show I've heard, but possibly the least interesting. As usual, the callers all wanted to talk about themselves (and their medical conditions, many of which weren't Lyme Disease).

    Catherine Salmon and Katrin Schumann on "middle" kids.  Tom Grier on lyme disease.  I got nothing to say about this show.

[Lovely Bones]

 
      I got nothing to say about this show.

I've got to say that Noory had the strangest introduction to the Lyme disease portion at the start (prior to his little news update segment).

Later, we'll talk about a man who was alive one moment . . . and dead the next.  [Chuckling]  So get ready for that!

Alive one moment and dead the next?  Isn't that how it usually happens?  I'd have been interested if he had said "Dead one moment and alive the next."  And why was he laughing?  And I don't remember the Lyme disease guy actually dying, just being very close to dying. . . . 

Sign me,
Confused as usual by Snoory.

(Maybe it's just because I'm a middle kid.)
