The shadow

The shadow knows!
in 2017 Gene sent 137 mails.
in 2018 222..
this year at 37 looks like something changed

You can find older discussions (older than this one; not I think older than 2006 though) online on the behavior... Jeremy Vaeni brought it up several times in blog posts, with long comment threads ensuing. I know it's hard to find them in the hundreds of pages of comments here but, such links are there (and findable via Google of course).

That's why it's so hard to believe he has just stopped his begging ways cold.

Something had to change, one would think, since Gene came across as feeling his behaviors were both intelligent and no different from how others conducted themselves (I mean, doesn't EVERYONE wait to pay the landlord until the constable is on the doorstep ready with the heave ho? that's just kind of like when the bill is actually due, right?).

It's just really tough to imagine he actually learned anything from his experiences, unless it was how to hide the behavior better. Anyone who was paying attention knows Gene lived by doing everything he could to avoid paying bills and wring money out of others. It wasn't some rough patch he was experiencing, it was how he lived, and lived well beyond his means.

Sure some wanted to give the guy the benefit of a doubt and most humans respond sympathetically to the initial begging emails, as Gene intended. But once you look at the weight of the evidence here, on the UFO Trail blog and at @SchemeGeneRC on Twitter, the sickness and contempt for others could only be denied if you were J. Randall Murphy.

Anyway, there's my contribution to keeping the thread alive and hopefully readily available via Google.

Gene Steinberg has had more than enough of other people's money already.

Yes indeed, too much wasted money on him, when there are people in REAL need...

Definitely wasted. A lot of money poured down that particular hole, even just that WE know about. And it didn't seem to do a thing to stop the begging emails.

The great tragedy Gene Steinberg always seemed to be wailing about and begging for help to forestall was just living within his means. I think life as a senior in the U.S. is tough for a lot of people, and Gene, with his podcasting, had access to more resources than many.

I won't say he had / has it easy but God knows the man made his own bed, and appears to have done nothing to improve his outcomes, apart from wheedling work or cash out of others. As was pointed out many times, hundreds upon hundreds of begging emails and not one ever asking for work. Only money.

And he was reliably dishonest. And a little dictator on his forum.

But if he really has given up the grift, at least for now, good for him.

A number of new articles on the front page of technightowl today promoting an online casino and sportsbook along with suggesting a strategy of using bots to place bets automatically. Also the articles include affiliate links. These are not ads, although there are ads on the side too. These are actual content promoting betting strategies using bots. Very odd indeed.

Two of my browsers were unable to load the site. Microsoft Edge succeeded.

I'm wondering if he actually managed to sell that piece of crap website and now some scammer is using it to churn out this gambling related material.

Maybe he gets a small percentage of the take for promoting it there...

That's a possibility too, I haven't looked yet but could be some current website information showing ownership of the site...

Randall is asking for volunteers, someone to do all the work for free, well you would get a free membership on the plus, if it's worth anything to anyone...

Guest Coordinator

Want your chance to help drive The Paracast to new heights by bringing on the guests you think are most relevant and interesting? We have an immediate opening for a Guest Coordinator. This position requires an Internet connection and the ability to source out guests, relay the information to Gene & Randall, and follow-up in a consistent, timely, and professional manner. The aim is to pre-book the show several weeks in advance so that there is more time for Question Bank responses and forum participation. You will also be helping to build a guest booking system that will make the task much easier in the longer term. As a Paracast Volunteer you will receive a free Paracast + membership and invites to participate in round-table discussion on the show! If you're interested, please get in touch with Randall.

Yes, Randall, we know you have no problem with Gene's lying, cheating, and stealing. Your behavior is a sign of low character in yourself.

What's the matter, not getting enough attention lately?

Wasn't that position taken just this spring ? I guess that invite to participate in roundtable discussion isn't that inviting especially when all you can dig up anymore is D level guests and Nic Redfern for the umpteenth time.

it was held by TDRS who may have quit after the Nazi came on the show.

I seem to recall that some years past, Steinberg was looking for a person to sell online advertising for the Paracast. That didn’t pan out either. Why anyone would accept a Guest Coordinator position is beyond me. You can bet the farm that Steinberg and Murphy would treat this person like an old dog turd.
