Subject: Debunking The Debunker?


The time has come when we should praise people such as Klass,
not criticize them, at least in the opinion of this writer. Phil
(I hope you don't mind my using that appellation). I mean "Phil"
sounds better to my ear than does Phil Klass or "Mr. Klass."
"Phil" seems to fit his aura so much better. I digress.

Actually, Phil is doing us a favor. By his theories, he gives
Credence to Ufology. His reasoning is so questionable, so
foolish, as to convey a perceived image of integrity to that
which he debunks, at least to those who have some semblance of
an intellect. I hope I am not the only one who sees this for
what it is. He insults not just the believer, but himself.
Sagan, on the other hand, merely insults us. One cannot question
his integrity, at least I cannot.

Having said that, can it be possible that this man really
BELIEVES his own drivel? I think not. So what possible motive
can the man have for making a complete fool of himself? Aha!

On the assumption that he is not that stupid, not culpably
ignorant and really does NOT believe his own drivel, then the
only possible motives are...

1) He is being paid to do this to himself.
2) He is doing it for fun.

If (1) above is true, then who can be paying him SO much, that
the man actually says this stuff out his mouth? Perhaps it is
the aliens, paying him in negotiable Lewinsky script?

Or maybe Uncle Sam? They've got plenty of dough. Could be he is
doing this out of fear for his very life. Maybe some uniformed
suit came to visit him and told him to do this or else!

Actually, very few of these appear to have any possible validity
except the money part. Somehow, I just don't think he's got
enough class for Monica.

Must be the bucks. Yup. I vote for money. It's the only motive
for a red blooded American Patriot like Klass to have for making
such a damned fool of himself while trying to make damned fools
out of the rest of us, eh?

So I say, let's let the guy have all the press he can get. Let's
get him on the Jeff Rense Show. I would have asked Art Bell to
volunteer as well, but he appears to be otherwise occupied at
the moment. Whaddya say Jeff? Give him a full three hours and
have people call in!! Come on Jeff, you are, after all, the host
I know of to be able to handle Klass without losing it!

In truth I did make this suggestion to Jeff previously. I never
got an answer though. Could it be that even the great Rense
can't handle Klass?

Nah.
