It doesn't explain why Crimeberg stays on GCN though. It makes the show unlistenable, drives people away and he doesn't even get a cut. Like many things related to him it does not compute.

I believe it is phycologically very important to Gene to be on the radio. He believes that makes his show more than just a podcast and allows him to justify to himself that it is a real job despite getting no income for doing it. In his warped mind he is a radio personality.

Lol that shows just how delusional he really is. It would be like uploading a video to Youtube and then considering yourself to be on TV/a TV personality, because technically you could play it on a TV. When most people think of radio they think of the big national stations. - Not niche survivalist garbage that only a handful of unemployed nutcases who can't sleep listen to. I bet the total audience of the Paracast went down sharply after he integrated GCN (even before he went into full overdrive with grifting his audience). What a moron.

folks my Thanksgiving day was depressing. my interview on wendsday was with a company that simply has no ethics. they treat the employee like dirt.
Turnover is massive. I left the interview feeling unclean. I did not get a job. I'm taking money from my Roth IRA to live till my unemployment benefits come in.
at this point Gene will ask for cash. I will only ask for any thoughts and prayers come my way.

‘Shady Shadow and Naughty Nivek‘ thread
Here come the Amazon gift card begging from Shadow. Nivek and Randall are going to have a AE/Paracast crossover roundtable.

Just kiddin’!! (And making you crazy!!)

Hope things get better.

I’m going broke sending these donations EVERY DAY to Gene Steinberg Filet Mignon fund (whoever he is). Apparently he doesn’t like to eat at the King.
Since Chris O’Brien left the show I went from zero solicitation emails to like x months times thirtydays worth.

Wondering why there was no e-beg today. Maybe he learned his lesson?

- Just joking - but I wonder what is causing the lull.

Is he hitting the Black Friday sales to buy all those things he doesn't need but must have? I see the Apple Store is having some offers.

Or maybe he has been working on some new storylines to bring the entertainment back. Will his nemesis "The Constable" be returning? Will Anders be brought back into existence?

I'm sure there will be some reference to a very pathetic Thanksgiving dinner.

Here is how I imagine it might be:

A New Low At Thanksgiving!
Last night I was down to my last couple of dollars. While most people were enjoying a full turkey dinner with all the trimmings I was forced to buy some french fries from my local Michelin starred restaurant. Despite this being the cheapest thing on the menu and the portion being the size of a thimble, I was unable to pay the bill. The manager was threatening to call the police and shouting at me. Barabara started crying.

Luckily an old friend was eating at the restaurant and offered to pay the bill.

Although we were saved from an unpleasant scene involving the police there had not been enough food for Barbara to be able to eat and there were no leftovers to take home to Teddy Bear. Barbara was forced to dine on an old turkey chew toy that belonged to Teddy Bear and he was forced to eat one of my slippers.

To add to it all, the heating in the motel room wasn't working properly so I had to create a small fire. Unfortunately I didn't have much left to burn and was forced to ignite some new Ipads I had lying around. These didn't burn well so I was forced to use a stack of twenty dollar bills that I was saving for my new apartment and to pay tomorrow's motel bill.

We only just survived and saved ourselves from hypothermia but now there is the issue of how to pay the motel bill by 11am mountain time and we have to start saving for an apartment all over again. We will also need more money to burn in case it gets cold again tomorrow night. I also now have to hop around at night on my bad knee because I only have one slipper and can't afford to buy a new one - I have a few leads on renting one but that will also cost money that we don't have. I suspect if this goes on much longer I will need extensive chiropractic treatment to fix my knee and of course I won't be able to carry out my ride sharing gigs.

There are also other bills that need to be paid but you get the picture.

Despite these current problems there is some good news. As I previously wrote, the pack of online haters and trolls kidnapped Anders and erased him from history when he was in the middle of working on the new paracast site and store. We had lost all hope for the work ever being completed.

Fortunately thanks to the help of David Wilcock and his friends the "blue avians" the timeline was restored and Anders is back and working on the new paracast site and store.

It should be finished within days but like most things it takes longer than expected.

David Wilcock has also graciously allowed the Paracast to advertise by projecting a new holiday season offer on his giant forehead. I am confident this should bring in new advertisers and subscribers to help us get back on track.

Here’s how you can help me today — and the need as always is urgent.......

Peace,

Gene.

I believe Barbara’s Social Security benefits would have hit last Wednesday (since Thursday was a holiday). I know that does not normally slow him down but perhaps between that, the holiday and the UFO Trail post, he decided to take a break for a day or two.

Like you I’m certain he will be back, victimized and in dire, immediate need of your money.

And now, from the 'Jerome Clark' thread at the Paracast forum, I present "Down The Memory Hole: A Play in Three Acts".

Act I - A suggestion is made, and a memory evoked:

If

goblin
Nov 24, 2018

Act II - A response to the suggestion, and an acknowledgment of the shared memory:

Yep

goblin
Nov 24, 2018

Act III - Gene or Randall make the forbidden words disappear by deleting the second post!

Gene is allowed to bombard his forum members with emails recounting the "challenges" facing him in painful detail, but to quote even the titles of those emails in his forum? FORBIDDEN!

(I know, no one is really surprised, but it seemed to me just quoting the titles of the emails with little to no further commentary would not be a big matter. Never underestimate the lack of respect Gene and Randall have for their forum participants - at a time when you might imagine they'd appreciate participation. Never overestimate their savvy either, I suppose...)

Here is Steinberg’s take on who does the bulk of the work on the Paracast...

“Not true. Many of the guests are those I selected, and I had decades of research to call upon. As to forums, I left it to the moderators to do most of the interactions, although I got involved in some of the discussions. This is the way many of these forums are run.

Over the 12.5 years The Paracast has been on, I have produced and edited every single episode. I had the help of one person in adapting these forums to a new platform, but otherwise I did it all by myself. After the original Paracast site was redesigned with some neat PHP tricks, I managed it from then on. I run the web server, I post every single episode, including the stitched together Paracast+ versions free of the network ad blocks. I am up very early Sunday mornings to finish the work on the latest episodes.

The Paracast+ was mostly my idea, and I was responsible for its implementation, for better or worse.

This is not engaging in "shenanigans." This is spending a decent number of hours each week to keep this show running.

That said, I do appreciate all that Biedny, Kimball, O'Brien and now Murphy did to create a better program. They all deserve high praise for what they accomplished working with me.”

And yet, when Chris O’Brien left, the listeners went away, too.

I’ve always thought that Steinberg has had much more money at his disposal than he lets onto. The Social Security money has to be the tip of the iceberg, in my opinion. Perhaps the money has dried up since all the various article have come out, but Steinberg is very slippery when it comes to his financial concerns.

Let’s remember that his modus operandi has been to stiff his rental agents by not paying for months at a time. He could accumulate lots of money in that time frame. There also had to be plenty of gullible people who received his emails and sent him money over a considerable time period. No one should be weeping for this crook.

He also admits his whole Anders story was a lie here too. Unbelievable.

GhostofBiedny · Nov 24, 2018

Don't really have time to go through the whole archive but I found this interesting. So of note here is that Gene was initially taking contributions using the message shown below:

Which a few months later changed to:

We are now accepting voluntary donations at The Mac Night Owl.

As opposed to involuntary donations?

To avoid the complexities of bookkeeping, we're not going to set up a subscription system.

I'm sure you're still supposed to do book-keeping Gene. He's basically admitting he's trying to break the law and this makes me wonder if donations even at this early point were not for the website (which even for 14 years ago was really poor).

He even seems to be admitting it:

In addition to helping us to remain in operation, we'll use the funding to expand the site

Remain in operation means "support my lifestyle".

It's also interesting that he was heavily plugging Numis Gems throughout 2004, isn't that the BIL's scammy business and wasn't this the time of the court case?

This also looks pretty scammy (screenshot below). Are those baseball cards from Numis Gems? We know he denied having anything to do with the company (which public records have shown to be garbage) but even if it wasn't it looks like he was liquidating their assets.

Anyway I doubt these archives at Archive.org will be staying up for long.

If someone knows how to preserve them please do, you will be doing the community a great service. I will try to screenshot things where I can as time allows but what is really needed is a way to download the whole thing and save it.

Can you believe this guy? He should be so lucky that his first two co-hosts did the bulk of the work.

He's completely delusional. His head is so far up his own arse he can't see the truth.

Also nobody works with Gene. That would involve Gene doing some work. You can only ever work for him and that normally means you put in the effort and he takes all the money.
