George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[FallenSeraph]

Nootropics:

Nootropics (/noʊ.əˈtrɒpɨks/ noh-ə-trop-iks), also referred to as smart drugs, memory enhancers, neuro enhancers, cognitive enhancers, and intelligence enhancers, are drugs, supplements, nutraceuticals, and functional foods that purportedly improve mental functions such as cognition, memory, intelligence, motivation, attention, and concentration.[1][2] The word nootropic was coined in 1972 by the Romanian Dr. Corneliu E. Giurgea,[3][4] derived from the Greek words νους nous, or "mind," and τρέπειν trepein meaning "to bend/turn". Nootropics are thought to work by altering the availability of the brain's supply of neurochemicals (neurotransmitters, enzymes, and hormones), by improving the brain's oxygen supply, or by stimulating nerve growth.

Or we could just call it academic doping.

Watch out for nootropics kids. Take it from me, stimulating nerve growth is all fun and games until somebody pokes a consensus reality out. Fucking hydergine and piracetam, nearly left me smart for life.

Nooooo! Those are noortropics.

[yumyumtree]

I agree, tonight's show sounds good--hope Noory doesn't goof it up but he probably will.

I think they've been over the real Exorcist case recently. Most people know it was a boy, in the 1940s and maybe someplace other than Wash DC--I don't remember. So they changed it a lot.

I think that there may be a Lizzie Borden movie coming out with Christina Ricci. A lot of shows have movie tie-ins, I notice. Lizzie was acquitted of course, though a lot of people think she did it.

Other famous axe murderers include Karla Faye Tucker and Hendricks, the guy who went to prison for killing his wife and children in IL in the 80s. I think he may very well have been innocent.

Your true crime buff.

I've started taking a bunch of nootropics .... that cause really vivid, better-than-any-movie-I've-ever-seen, feels-like-spending-a-lifetime-in-Narnia-and-then-falling-back-through-the-wardrobe dreams....

You know, I can totally relate to this.  I've always had weird dreams, but since I started taking a certain psychoactive med they have become way more vivid and movie-like.  I mean I could describe exact layouts of places I wander through and various people I meet.  I've never intentionally tried lucid dreaming but this feels like what it must be like. 

Fortunately most have been benign and even entertaining.  There have been some really cool ones like one where I found this secret labyrinth under a weird futuristic office building and was exploring all these hidden rooms - like some kind of adventure game. 

The really weird thing, is that unlike my usual dreams, these ones often seem to come from no where at all, i.e. they seem not derived from any experience/book/movie/person I know - my brain seems to be just generating this completely artificial reality somehow full of new places and characters.  Maybe I've got some untapped creativity in there I haven't unlocked, and somewhere in there is my own Game of Thrones.

But Aldous, aniracetam makes the words flow like a river and feels like Adderall X 1,000 without the sky-is-falling crash.

As far as nootropics go, I'm a devout follower of this guy: http://theluciddreamsite.com/luciminal.html. His Noo Day supplement has changed my life. He's also devoted much of his adult life to developing a supplement that allows you to have lucid dreams. Apparently he's finally cracked it and will be selling it soon.

I also just ordered some armodafinil from a reputable supplier in India. (And with Bitcoins! I'm cool! I have a Bitcoin wallet! Somebody get me a bumper sticker or something!) Excited to try that stuff.

I've been trying to talk Bateman into doing a show on nootropics. Maybe someday.

OK, I'll stop with the brain-drug talk in the GNS thread now.

HOWEVER I couldn't help but notice that JBW's show tomorrow night is about increasing brain power. Wonder if he'll talk about it.

I'll be honest, I was watching (CNN or the news or something) when they executed Karla Faye Tucker and I cried. I'm all for the death penalty when it's deserved, but she really seemed like she had changed her heart and her life and wasn't bullsh*tting about it. I watched a Werner Herzog documentary in which he interviewed her executioner. The man â€" who had executed hundreds â€" quit immediately afterward because he too was repulsed by the wrongness of that particular execution.

The Exorcist â€" yeah, in real life it took place in St. Louis, Jan.-April 1949. The kid was from Maryland, but they ultimately sent him to a relative's house in St. Louis for the exorcism ritual.

I'm also a true crime buff! I could talk true crime for hours. Hung out over at the WebSleuths forum for awhile, but those people are pretty hardcore over there. I love to read it; I just hardly ever talk.

Nah Missy, I'm into it, for others. Myself, I'm a natural born tweeker who uses adderall to nap- and I've been trying to get back to the other side of the mirror for so long- I had to jettison the brain amplifiers- trying to get the crayon back in the sweet spot- so normalcy can be normal again. Defense!

Seraphim, speaking of lucid dreams. Something I wandered through in a past life; ever heard of Calea zacatecachichi? Also, oddly the extract of Flos aquamenezon (sp?) algea?

[eeieeyeoh]

As I recall Art talking about it, the CIA or some agency bought Mel's land and he dropped off the radar. It would be difficult to find him. I was surprised he never used radar to see if the hole was truly bottomless. But ... that's the kind of stuff we used ot hear on AB that we never hear on the shows of the Snooreon, stuff people talk about for years and years. Its what made you never want to stop listening to Art which is the opposite of listening to Noory. Its an effort now to even listen to his opening much less a " whole " split program. Noory should quit but his ego will never let hm do so.

I have a much different view Falkie. Seems pointless to continually put down George Noory. After all, he's just an employee. I was listening from start of show Art announced Premier/Clear Channel bought his show broadcast on ~500 stations and immediately noticed a change in Art's original way of interviewing people. It seemed Art had a contract that had much different rules than previously that curbed what made Art interesting to me originally, still enjoyed his views on news and open lines for first hour, but mostly shut off unless a known good guest was going to be on. Over some number of months, the frequency of even turning on the show reduced to very seldom. There was nothing I could do about Art's contract that caused the change. I was happy to hear him again for 6 weeks last year in good spirits and much closer to what the show used to be. After all that's happened in the world and his life, it gave me hope for the future.

[Heather Wade]

Dudes, tonight's show does look good.  Can't wait to hear what idiotic questions the Nooron is going to come up with.  I always dig some true crime, it's my guilty pleasure.

Hell, I may even call in & have a little fun too.

[cweb]

Tonight's show looks worth staying awake for:

Ax Murders & Open Lines

Some nights, Noory makes it so that these are very much the same thing...

[Up All Night]

I'll be honest, I was watching (CNN or the news or something) when they executed Karla Faye Tucker and I cried. I'm all for the death penalty when it's deserved, but she really seemed like she had changed her heart and her life and wasn't bullsh*tting about it.

I also believe that she truly changed and deserved to live, the rest of her life, albeit, in jail. I think it served no purpose to take her life.

Bush got it wrong on that one, by not communting her death sentence to life without the possibility of parole.

[ItsOver]

Ax murders?  Sounds appropriate for a show that will close with UFO Phil.

Gaaawwwwdd!  Thanks for the reminder.
Doesn't George know that is the absolute worst song ever played on the radio since the beginning of time?  *sigh*  Oh, how soon I forget we're dealing with a professional moron here. 
The.  Nooron.

A close second must be that lame Scorpions song.  What is the appeal of that weird echo-box whistling?  Please make it stop.

[Falkie2013]

Art would have in a heart beat. I will suggest it to Noory.

He just sent me an email saying his 88 year old aunt died of pneumonia.

My condolences were sent to him. I hope his Aunt had a happy life. Pneumonia kills far too many elderly who would probably otherwise survive.

This cold and flu season is bad. Locally 21 people have died of the flu including one guy who died of swine flu. In the South 25+ people have died as well.
I got the flu because I didn't get a flu shot. When I do, no flu, no colds, no sinus infections, though I do usually get a slight fever from the shot. I did have a horrible reaction to the swine flu shot that was given to people nationwide when Gerald Ford was President. People were keeling over from the damned thing and lawsuits abounded, if I remember correctly.

You may notice he changed his opening vis-a-vis the Pacific Ocean. I told him in a series of emails that LA is not exactly " off " the Pacific Ocean as if its offshore or some such and that it was driving people nuts.

Did George just say "mall wear"?

Did he mean "malware"?

I've heard mall wear is bad if you let it touch your computer.  I think the polyester scratches it or something.

He said mall wear in the past also.  I have made a post in this thread a while back mentioning it.

Haha, yeah Jorch has more than his fair share of problems with pronunciation (and I'm not sure blaming his forked tongue has anything to do with this), the other night Jorch was talking about Stalin, it sounded like he was saying stallin'

I'm sure there is a list somewhere around here of Jorch's personal take on words. Oddly enough he butchers the word paranormal which obviously he has to say often. I forget what he says I think I've heard him say puranormal before. There's a few other doozies I've heard--can't recall them--but I just about do a spit take whenever I hear them emanating from the radio.

[Heather Wade]

Dude, I'll turn that haunted murder-house into a home... lemme have it!   

[EBE123]

     Thomas Reed is one of the few people to come on the show with some crazy abduction story sounding believable.  Except for George's super idiotic habit of trying to finish peoples sentences (and always getting it wrong) I enjoyed the segment.  Wynn Free has a girlfriend who transmits messages from the people who created the universe and you can sign up to join his conference calls where he imparts the latest wisdom from these creators.  At first I thought he was drunk, but then I realized he wasn't.

He sounds completely insane. lol

[yumyumtree]

Yes, Karla Faye Tucker was a haunting case.
I have also visited Websleuths, mostly to read about the JonBenet Ramsey case and maybe the Amy Billig case. But I haven't registered. Another interesting case is the mystery suicide  in the Vantage Hotel in downtown Seattle. I don't know if you have heard of that one. After giving it a lot of thought I think that she may have been a witness protection program, involved with organized crime, espionage or a religious cult. In other words she had been off the radar to some extent for some time before her death and this may be why they didnt match her with a missing person someplace.
And speaking of that, I wonder why D.B. Cooper was never matched to a missing person.
What do you think of David Hendricks? I think that they should have looked harder at other extended family members, myself. Hendricks always maintained his innocence and didnt seem to have that attitude of toxic narcissism you see in a lot of these people, like Scott Peterson. Hendricks is out of prison now, and has married and had more children.

[UnscreenedCaller]

Am I actually enjoying a guest on this show (Pistor)? Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide ...

Oh, never mind. It's Jorch. UFO Phil will wrap up the show and it'll all go down the sewer long before.
