I recall the face on mars on Art Bells Dreamland that was very interesting and had much logical, factual and 'coincidental'?? backup. I have his video and it's quite convincing...but then the same guy come up with more stuff a few years later with photo evidence of moon and mars structures which was quite 'leading' and dubious at best.
Lessee, article in Nexus by that guy who swears that reptilians live under NYC and rule the world and hearing things said backwards reveals the speakers true intent...with a few intriguing examples that don't prove a rule by any means imaginable.
Myrids of Y2K millenium prophets in all the publications and shows. [Whos calander?]
I wouldn't be surprised to see Dennis Lee in there somewhere. [Free energy con man and crook.]
Chemtrails? Yea right. Maybe isolated and/or misconstrued cases, but 99.9% of the 'evidence' presented for a wide spread conspiracy is WAY screwy, sneaking across the borders of physically impossible, VERY and obviously misleading to anyone who knows anything about physics and the properties of states of matter.
Laboratory "proof"..SERIOUSLY bad science in the face of obvious and simple direct sampling procedures that have not been done.
The question is Rense/ Bell/ Nexus "Position"..which is rarely if ever stated..vs the presentation?
They report. They ask questions sometimes. They host speakers and publish articles. They don't validate. Validation is not their job.
They may well screen out some of the more obvious crackpots.
The material is a few steps above the Inquirer [who will publish "anything" with ZERO screening] but far short of 'consistantly' valid.
Of course there is good solid stuff there too, fringe or not...but you are left to distinguish which is which and "how" solid.
The hosts and publishers are not qualified to do that for you, very very few journalists are ... and they don't.
... those that are and do, say, in American Scientific Mag... don't always get it right.
Many "mainstream" wild guesses, theories, frauds and hoaxes presented 'as fact' but proven questionable, doubtful or invalid are STILL being perpetuated in museums and text books as fact.

Rense had a lot of experience as a print and television news journalist before becoming an independent web journalist . Rense does print a lot of fringe stuff. I have done a lot of research on many of the topics that seem over the edge, and find that his position on them is very creditable.<<<<
Could you give us a couple of examples of Renses crackpot articles?

Both Rense and Bell ..and Nexus magazine, for that matter...will put out anything that people will listen to so long as it is at least marginally believable.
"This guy sez...." [ Nevermind what we think about it]
Veracity, facts and proof are not a big concerns of theirs.
Some of the stuff is really good, most is crackpot.
They leave it up to you to decide which is which and how much.
Inquiring minds want to know everything, true, semi true and untrue...and there it is.
Discriminating minds sort through it.

Most interesting that "rense.com" would publish a scurrilous article by Alex S. Perry impugning the Allies' efforts to defeat Nazism, Fascism, and Japanese expansionism in the Far East, and then shut down its site on the web so that no response could be made and read by anyone who originally responded to and read Mr. Perry's article entitled "THERE WAS NO NEED FOR WORLD WAR II" Any information about contacting these people would be appreciated. Regards, Al....
