George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[PB the Deplorable]

This is too good.  I wonder how long till someone signs up to bellgab with that name...

There may be an entry in the ''Name and avatar suggestions for new members'' thread.

Listened to a few minutes of Bella-Haven last night, NB said the Snorge had commissioned her at one point to ghost-write a novel about a time traveler.  The main characters name was to be 'Nero Blaze'.

People realized the name was awful, and demonstrated a complete lack of creativity and tone deafness on his part, and tried to talk him out of it - but he insisted.   

Nero Blaze, Time Traveler, by George Noory.  Ugh.

That's what I enjoy about this new show: little nuggets that crop up from time to time in the general conversation. Nancy is trying to censor herself a bit, but you know she is going to drop a bombshell or two at some point so it is probably a good idea to listen live if you can in case she edits out something incendiary by the time it gets to SoundCloud.

I don't think passing a novel off as his own is especially awful, as that is almost par for the course for someone like Dave, and I don't think Nero Blaze was the name he chose (although I may be wrong), but the bit that got me was that his original 'idea' was for this time-travelling hero (based on a certain radio host with an appalling moustache and dodgy toupee) to be sent back in time to rescue Christ from the crucifixion. Dave truly is Alan Partridge. Nancy tried to ginger this up a bit to make it vaguely interesting, but Dave got all sniffy about it, leading to the Birneses getting the tin-tack from their publishers.

Every story you hear about Dave from people who have had dealings with him comes back to the fact that he is a real snake in the grass, who will smile at you and then stab you in the back when you have turned around.

Celente is on tonight discussing money, so the bumper Money played.  That seemed to work, but cut to add at the end of the bumper.  Of course after "Money, is what I want."  "What I want."  Norry goes into a spill about 500 joining ParanormalDate.com.  There are no coincidences.

I turned C2C off as soon as I heard Celente was coming on.

Does Dave even realize how many people have thought about commitimg suicide because of the constant barrage of doom and gloom, especially from Celente?

"Rescue Christ from the crucifixion?" Oh for...well, you know.

Apparently Dave is so clueless about Christian theology that the idea that Christ was sent to Earth for the purpose of serving as a once-and-for-all blood sacrifice to forgive the sins of the believers went completely over his head.

What if all of these past life experiences are merely implanted thoughts to distract us from the correct path?  A ruse by the Devil or whatever.  I've pondered this most of my life.  I've even been inclined to believe in reincarnation at times.  My Dad also toyed with these New Age beliefs.  We watched the TV movie bio Out on A Limb about Shirley McLaine and it prompted my Dad to fly to Machu Picchu one weekend just for the hell of it. I remember when my Dad took me to a hypnotic regression therapist in California to quit a bad habit.  It didn't work.  I'm just not wired to relax and be hypnotized.

I've never thought of memories as a devil's ruse, but I have wondered how much really happened as I remember it. I used to keep a journal pretty regularly, and I do trust what I find on some of the old pages. All the precious trivia.

Ironically, a GNoory was in the chat for a while. A peek behind the scenes will reveal more, maybe.

Dude, comparing Israel to a sheep (or goat, or whatever) being ritually slaughtered as a blood sacrifice was a little over the top.

We all know Israel is fully capable of bombing anywhere it thinks Iran is building nuclear weapons. Heck, Israel did it before with Iraq at least once in the 80's.

Israel pretty much destroyed the air forces of its Arab neighbors on several occasions during the various Arab-Israeli conflicts.

Saying Israel was being "sacrificed" in this agreement is a joke, especially considering that Israel has nuclear weapons.

This guy clearly doesn't read very many books. He reads one type of spirit experience that coincides with his past-life beliefs and spirit guides.  There are clearly evil spirits and places.  Read Howard Storm, Rich.

There is too much suffering in the world for there to be a god, at least the sort of god that is represented in the bible.  Also, how would a good god create a world in which his creatures had to kill each other for food?  Why do the prayers of his own people often go unheard?

Yes, I believe that we have a spiritual dimension, we continue on, enough people have had enough experiences to prove that to me, but religion seems not to tell the entire truth to us. 

What sort of 'god' proves himself as insecure and unreliable and still expects support from humanity? 

We do not know all that there is.  We do not understand the total implications of our humanity.  Many of us are on a journey to understand the truths of our existence.  Part of that entails rejecting falsehoods which pale in the face of our known reality.

There are certainly higher level beings than we.  You may call them angels, but to me that verbiage comes with baggage.  I think of them as aliens.  There is certainly someplace in which our loved ones reside after their physical bodies no longer serve them.  You might call that 'heaven'.  I think of it as a sort of holding pen for souls.  People seem very happy there, but in my opinion that is a sort of drugged-out euphoria, because there are higher levels of existence than that. 

What seems to make sense to me is the Eastern concept of multiple levels of 'heavens' that correspond to our level of self-realization. 

You cannot make an omelet without breaking eggs. I think our early training in Western religions only takes us so far - puts us on a certain path, makes for a 'nice' society.  When we reach adulthood, I believe we are meant to question and explore. 

I believe that I have a lot more in common with atheists and am surprised that there are atheists who believe as I, that it is not necessary to believe in a god in order to believe in a spiritual dimension.

Memory is at its base nothing more than encoding of information into a neural net. We then retrieve that information and reconstruct the information we have learned. But it becomes a bit more complicated because our memories are not like a library where we pull specific information. Rather are memories are a patchwork or collage of information, many times with overlaying new (not necessarily better) information on top of the old.

What most (if not all) of us do is reconstruct information that not only pulls facts but also meshes in values and emotions and interdigitates all of that into a functioning memory.

How we place value on those memories is really in the realm of our convictions and our psychoanalyst. And not to be too "judgey" thinking that past constructions (disregarding the possibility of past lives) are implanted from a supernatural origin speaks more to ones values than to memory.

Great! Can we pre-order?

Details will be in a PM from MV.  It should be sent out around the time of Fort Rock's next Scorpion Army instructions.

Gnoory should ask MV for a name change.  I can see "Nero Blaze" as a koala.

I can't read "Nero Blaze" without thinking "Nero Wolfe" and I can't hear this story without remembering to realize that George Noory is a no-talent hack who has plagiarized every original thought he's ever pretended to have.

At least he has good taste to rob from the best--Rex Stout and Art Bell.

You can have a God that looks like Barney the Dinosaur that farts sunshine and craps lollipops and there would  still be suffering in the world.It`s part of being a human being. Maybe God only offers hope  with our human condition not a "cure for" . A promise to help us cope.

Steven Colbert, in character but disguised as his comic book creation 'Hawkcat,' pitched a book with a similar plot at Comic Con, a book about a guy who went back and saved Jesus.  If you've never watched Colbert, his entire act is to lampoon the simplicity of political pundits and people in politics, particularly those who veer all the way over onto the right hand shoulder of the political roadway.  But I don't know, is Noory <ahem> Nero Blaze any worse than Han Solo?

Tsk,tsk If you MUST eat animals I hope you at least got documentation from the restaraunt that the cow was killed humanely.

Hi, Dave!  Don't worry, dude.  We're still on topic.
That's Dave, for you. A hard night of hosting, followed by GNS thread moderation.  A Dave's work is never done.
