Coast to Coast AM Talk

Theotokos · October 11th, 2006, 04:49

If I do not feel like listening to a CD or to the classical music station on FM, I catch Coast to Coast AM. I always enjoy listening, even if I think some of the guests are bit out there--this is the reason I do not immediately believe someone because they are a "scholar" or and "expert". Anyone can take on that title if they have a graduate degree. I love when people say I am not as smart as scientists for believing certain theories--not that I am one of those who thinks all scientists are communists or something, but I do not think they are somehow always right.

Anyway, they were talking a bit about 911. One guest calls in and seems to act like an expert on planes. First of all he says it would have been impossible for the XPNDR to be turned off in those planes...I did not think that was true, but it that true in commercial aircraft? Then he actually said, "And how could it have crashed into a field! Those planes are designed so they cannot enter a dive!"

Pft! I say. I bet he thinks auto-pilot means the plane lands itself, literally. And then he somehow says, "Why would people take down the plane they are on after they took it over." Does he not realise that perhaps the people had taken it partially over, but the terrorists, so that they would not be caught, took it down. They had control of the AC. All they had to do was crash once the pax started getting out of hand.

I am actually going to do someone I know a favour and watch his 911 conspiricasy theory tapes, but I find the ideal of the US being behind the attacks quite laughable, even if I do my minimal duty as a citizen and owe most of my allegiance to the British crown and flag and hold contempt for the US and its founding principals. So I would be one of the first to say the US government is evil.

Dude...That would be the problem with self-described "experts." They have a difficult time deciding whether something is their posterior or a whole in the ground. Although, looney-tunes and crazies of all sorts seem to be up at 4 a.m., so there isn't a whole lot of argument coming in. Anybody that is up at that time of night is already in the air and letting the ADF do what it does best or working too hard for way too little. Unfortunately, I seem to fall into both categories. I love Art Bell and George Noory though...I've listened to them for a long time. Now that our Lihue flight goes out at 3 a.m., I've actually had to find an AM directory for Hawaii so I can keep caught up on my conspiracy theories.

I used to listen to that show a long time ago. I got tired of the guests that were regulars on the show that would always predict these major catastrophes (the arrival of planet x, war with china, etc.) and nothing of the sort would ever happen (thank God). The predicted time period of the catastrophe would always come and go and we're still here to talk about what idiots they are. I guess they're just storytellers. However, some of the conspiracy theories and scientific stuff on that show can be interesting.

Yeah I listen to that show when I'm really bored and feel like listening to ghost stories. When I first discovered the show, I was really into it, but when I heard their theory that contrails are a product of the government, I stopped taking the show serious.

I remember just after 911 they had a so called expert saying the aircraft crashing into the Towers were Holograms!!

I remember that. I was still working the graveyard in the Dispatch office and I just couldn't believe that someone actually said that. I guess the FCC doesn't really patrol the airwaves late at night. Out in HNL, Comedy Central shows the "Girls Gone Wild" advertisements pretty much all night. I remember cruising back from COU to ALN and listening to George Noory argue with a guy about the existence of the Chupacabra for the better of an hour. I couldn't hold the plane straight because I was laughing so much. Ah...to be a single-engine cruiser again. I miss it sometimes. But then I look at my huge paycheck...*Sarcasm*
