UFOs, Government Conspiracies, and the 2012 Huckabee/Palin Ticket

Over the years I’ve gotten some fairly crazy letters, but this one that just arrived in this morning’s email batch really tops them all. It is from someone named Robert Johnson, written in response to the announcement that I will be on George Noory’s Coast-to-Coast radio show Monday night, December 7, from 10pm to 1am PST. This guy gets it all in one short missive: UFOs, moon inhabitants and pyramids, government conspiracies, and even Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin! My comments follow in blue bracketed text.

“Aren’t you a bit fearful about appearing on the George Noory show. [No. I’ve been on many times.] He has people such as yourself for breakfast. [It’s an evening show.] I understand the great physicist Dr. Richard Hoagland will be calling in to ask questions of you. Perhaps you don’t know him but he was assistant to Walter Cronkite. He is a former NASA scientist. [Hoagland is not a Ph.D., not a physicist, never worked for NASA and Walter Cronkite called his claim “hocus pocus nonsense.”] He is one of the most brilliant physicists in the US today. [Says who?] He has exposed the governments plan to keep the real truth about what is really going on in space. [That’s what “they” want you to believe.]

The government has tried to silence him when it comes the former inhabitants of the moon. [Did those moon people tell you that? They're always making things up.] Just check it out and look at the pyramids on the moon. [I looked at the full moon the other night through my Meade telescope; didn’t see any pyramids.] Recently Dr. Noory has had people on who have exposed the truth about H1N1 flu shots. [George Noory is not a doctor, and neither are the people who decry H1N1 vaccination shots.] He is on top of all that is being done against us by the hidden government. [Is that anything like a “shadow government”?] I don’t know who you are, never heard of you other than in the notice sent to all of us about your appearance on Monday’s show. [Go to www.skeptic.com. I will personally grant you a comp subscription to Skeptic magazine because you could really use it.] If I were you I wouldn’t take on these two great men. [You are not me.]

Find another hobby and leave us believers alone. [I already have a hobby—cycling—skepticism is my profession.] We have seen UFO’s and we know inhabitants from other planets have visited us. [Might you be one of them?] In case you think we are heathens think again. We were members of Pastor Huckabee’s church in Arkansas and that was before he became governor. [This explains a lot.] So we are bedrock Christian’s. Of course he will be our next president and Gov Palin will be our Vice President. [This explains everything.]

Thank God!”
