Double Nought Spy

Knapp is a good writer and has good connections. I did enjoy his work on the Skinwalker Ranch case, including the book he co-wrote. Up until a few years ago, he seemed to be avoiding any comment on Lazar, or at least it seemed like that to me. In fact, it was not until '08 or so that I saw his comments about Lazar being well known at the gate to Los Alamos (or wherever it was), and figured it was just part of his having to walk a fine line in order to keep his career on track. He needed to maintain some level of plausible deniability, or so I assumed. I figured he learned an important lesson when Lazar was expeditiously outed as a fraud, and was more careful now.I was an admirer of George Knapp as it was an article of his that I read at the start of this century that got me into the subject.
I was also cautiously optimistic about TTSA.
However due to Knapps continuing support of Lazar and TTSA promoting his book I find myself once again disillusioned by the whole thing.
I check out Alien Expanse most mornings but my interest is diminishing by the day.
We have entered an era in which any idea, scheme, line of bullshit or brain-dead ideology is judged not on truth or even usefulness, but by how much cash can be squeezed out of it. Knapp could easily have maintained his "no comment" or at least "no comment of any substance" line, but now I see him lined up at the trough. It is disgusting. He knows better. He may have had to be self-deluded into participating in furthering a sleazy fraud, but he certainly knows better. He is not stupid.
The whole field of the paranormal, if that's even a valid way to lump so many nonconforming bits of reality together, has been losing its charm for me for several years now. I guess I should say the whole field of the paranormal as it exists in the online idiosphere has been losing its charm. I used to check a few dozen sites at least weekly; now there are just a few I bother with at all. We are winning the race to the bottom. Whoohoo.
