-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.umsl.edu/~skthoma/things.htm <A HREF="http://www.umsl.edu/~skthoma/things.htm">Steamshovel Press: Things Are Gonna Slide! </A> ----- Jim, Thanks for being you, your writings and soul I know will continue to help in the understandings that will help us reclaim our freedoms and heritage. Om K ----- Things Are Gonna Slide! JIM KEITH TRIBUTES Acharya S Several years ago, I became aware of Jim Keith's abundant writings, which so often displayed unusual courage and curiosity. With the book A lternative Three, his name became seared in my memory. I remember thinking, "Wow! Who's this guy, how did he get this book published, and how's he so well known?" I was impressed and wanted to be like him in that regard, writing and actually getting published books that were controversial and ordinarily suppressed. Jim seemed to be selling quite a few of them, as well, which is also very difficult. He was a maverick paving the way for many others, as far as I could tell. Secret and Suppressed published by Feral House was another of Keith's fabulous works. In fact, it was because of this book and our mutual friendship with eminent conspiriologist Kenn Thomas that, to my delight, I became friendly with Jim. I did not know him well, but over these past several months of exchanging email with him, I felt a kinship with him, particularly when on a couple of occasions he and I got lumped together in various discussions. I was pleased by such an affiliation, as, despite Jim's often-difficult subject matter, his writing displayed care and thoughtfulness, rather than the recklessness and laxity found in the works of others. Jim also had an extraordinary wit and gracious sense of humor. Even when confronted by the fact that some of his work had been "copied" by others and not attributed, he shrugged his shoulders instead of calling for vindication. He seemed to recognize the fierce competition and professional jealousy in his field and the world at large, and not to let it affect him. Indeed, I can envision him raising a beer in honor of his "sincerely flattering imitators." The conspiracy world will be sadder and poorer for the loss of this warm, pensive and dauntless man. I for one will have Jim Keith sitting on my shoulder as a muse whenever I write about subjects that were near and dear to his heart. Jim has left an inspiring mark upon the world during his all-too-short life. Acharya S Archaeologist, Historian, Mythologist, Linguist Member, American School of Classical Studies at Athens, Greece Associate Director, Institute for Historical Accuracy Director, Center for the Research and Study of Theology Author of The Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story Ever Sold www.truthbeknown.com Jim Hougan A fucking knee operation? Joan D'Arc Jim gave me rights to publish a little known talk he did, entitled "UFOs at the Edge of Reality", which was published in Paranoia in Fall 1997. It's really cool. His best quotes are the following: "there seems to be a coverup about the fact that awareness creates reality, is actually in charge of reality." "there is an in-between realm in this omiverse where thought and matter meet." "The prototypical alien grey face is based upon the least information units that you can interpret and still come up with a face." "UFOs may constitute an "imagining" into future possibilities ... a trial run in a new pair of shoes." Let me know if you'd like this article. Actually, I'd have to type it, since the original document is gone. But that would only take me a few days. My heartfelt condolences on the passing of your friend. We have all lost a comrade in arms. Adam Gorightly What a fuckin' bummer, to say the least! We corresponded a lot, and he was always super-generous and friendly--he seemed to have a real passion for life. We planned to get together some time, and now I regret having never met him face to face. I really feel for his kids...He will be missed. Jim Martin, Flatland A BREW POURED ON THE GROUND FOR A DEAD HOMEY. Soon after I started Flatland in 1984, Jim Keith sent me his zine, Dharma Combat. I liked it right away and so did Flatlanders. Since then, I listed every one of his non-fiction books as he produced them at an incredible rate of three a year. Keith showed me flashes of brilliance tempered with cynical contempt. I respected him. He disappointed me. I'm sad he's dead, he had a spark. John Quinn If you're an investigative journalist who's lately publicly addressed some fairly "warm" recent conspiracies, we would STRONGLY advise that you be EXTREMELY careful NOT to have a relatively minor fall which might result in a bruise serious enough for you to desire medical advice/attention. If you DO incur such a bruise (or any other condition needing medical attention), we would STRONGLY advise seeking care from a KNOWN and TRUSTED practitioner ONLY. You wouldn't want a "blood clot" from the impacted area to go to your lungs and kill you instantly, a one-in-a-trillion possibility (if that), which mysteriously and MOST UNFORTUNATELY purportedly occurred in the case of the late Jim Keith. Within the past few weeks the well-known and well-respected Keith, via the Internet's "Nitro News" organization, had published articles which showed how the airplane "crash" which took the lives of JFK Jr., wife and sister-in-law last July was in fact caused by sabotage by means of an explosive device; and also that the similarly "engineered", scripted "accident" which took the life of Princess Diana 2 years ago was implemented at that time because Diana was pregnant. Not long after these articles were published, Jim Keith incurred a minor leg injury for which he sought medical attention at a nearby hospital. This medical attention resulted in Jim Keith's death. During this same period of time the "Nitro News" website inexplicably went down for several days. To our knowledge no credible explanation has yet been put forth for this. This all seems, to say the least, suspicious. Ivan Stang, SubGenius TOTAL BUMMER!!! Will spread the news. Although I am in the process of moving all my shit to Cleveland... TOMORROW. (KT's rejoinder: Jim Keith has died and Ivan Stang moves to Cleveland. Surely Bob is at hand.) Rainie I am still a good friend of Jim, I must tell you Jim was working on this fact of tall red haired Bigfoots in the deserts of Nevada..I hope this book or fact still come out, even after the fact of his death..i hope someone will write a book on jim or something!! I feel he is still here and i feel bad cause i was doing a ritual at burning man..and mentioned these tall red haired freaks of the desert to a few people..and possible the spirit world or the government someone took jim from us....i must tell you i know this to be fact..jim did not go on his own to the other side...it was an act...of something...please e mail me.. back Bob Harris, The Scoop Whoa. Timothy Beckley He had a sparkling personality, was an all around fun type of guy and didnt mind sharing a source with a fellow researcher. He was dedicated to his work and his Black Helicopter book has deservingly become a classic. Lets raise a glass for a final toast to a decent human being. Mark Fenster I enjoyed the issues of his zine that I read, as well as his books, and corresponded with him once about the kiwi gemstone file. I have this strong memory of seeing him once and finding him to be an energetic, warm person whom I'm sure it was great fun to hang out with. Jay Kinney, Gnosis I'm sad to hear of Jim's death. I had only a couple of passing contacts with him, but he was definitely one of the major laborers in the vineyard of conspiracy research. Lloyd Pie Sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. You always hate to see the good ones go, especially early and especially under a cloud of suspicion regarding the circumstances. I offer my condolences to his family and close friends in their time of grief, and I wish for you the courage and determination to stick with his (your) work. Lee Guilmatte Chin I am sorry for the loss of your close friend, but know to celebrate his life and its graduation to his next higher schoolroom. Bob Rickard, Fortean Times Sad news, Kenn. Ron Bonds, IllumiNet he was more like a partner here. He did all our proof reading, he typed up stuff for me and we talked on the phone every day! He was like a consultant. It'll be a real drag to keep on without his help and input- but he'd love all this hoopla! Loren Coleman What would have taught us next? He will be missed. Previous Things Are Gonna Slide!
