Alex Tsakiris Interview on The Corbett Report
James Corbett and The Corbett Report are my go-to source for news… not alternative news mind you, but NEWS. So, it was great to be grilled by him during this 40 minute.
Yup. Me.Anyone else get really excited before they realized that it said "Alex Tsakiris interview on the Corbett Report" and not "Alex Tsakiris interview on the Colbert Report"? :)
Thanks for the link, will still listen!
I came across a recent example on the Merseyside Skeptics Society podcast. The theme of the series was "Be Reasonable" and a semblance of being reasonable is seemingly attempted. However at one stage, the presenter just stated flatly that there was "no evidence whatsoever" for a phenomenon. (In the example I recall, it was reincarnation). In fact there is a mountain of evidence - perhaps it should be discussed rather than pretending it doesn't exist. This sort of misrepresentation is unfortunately commonplace - we've all seen or heard it.He said, "There is no scientific evidence that ψ exists!" (or words to that effect, it is a long time ago now), but I happened to know that there was already quite a mass of peer reviewed papers on the subject - something which he clearly did not want to share with his audience - so he lied.
I also watched his video on a fake alien invasion and came away with a similiar feeling. One of his lines of reasoning was that since Laurance Rockefeller was involved in funding various movements within the UFO community, it then follows that the whole thing should be viewed as a fraudulent manipulation in some larger geopolitical scheme. I'm not convinced this is the case. I've not studied this very deeply but I get the impression, perhaps naively, that Laurance Rockefeller had a personal interest in the bigger questions and that's the reason he funded these kind of initiatives. Another example of an initiative funded by Laurance Rockefeller was CIIS, which was an endeavour to build an academic institution that affirms spirituality. Robert McDermott (former president of CIIS) briefly touch on it in this talk.Anyone on this page who listened to/watched James Corbett's transmission on UFO disclosure might, like me, have thought his definition was a bit narrow, allowing him to be rather too easily dismissive of the whole business, as well as painting US intelligence and military as just a bit too ingenuous... He seems to have focused solely on Steven Greer's storyline, rather than exploring it beyond this to consider, for instance, Robert Hastings' totally different take on the whole issue of visitations near sensitive facilities, which is described also as disclosure.
I hear ya. I think it's a blind men and an elephant kinda thing... of course, I'm just another blind man.Anyone on this page who listened to/watched James Corbett's transmission on UFO disclosure might, like me, have thought his definition was a bit narrow, allowing him to be rather too easily dismissive of the whole business, as well as painting US intelligence and military as just a bit too ingenuous...
