Bassett is an Absolute Fool

[Tommy Allison]

I wanna host a convention.

Unfortunately, I've probably alienated 99 percent of the people in UFOlogy because of my belief that they're all full of shit.

I think there's maybe a half dozen guys I can think of that are actually people I'd want to talk to, and 4 of them are here on the Paracast.

Even Steinberg is cool enough for prime time.

Hehehehehe.

Tommy,
I don't think it is just your belief that has alienated most UFOlogist but maybe just maybe how you express yourself.

I would like to see you and David heckle at a let's say Rob Simone talk.

Bassett is apparently as talented at fundraising, as he is in choosing credible, productive guests for the X-Con. He's a lobbyist who has NEVER met with a senator or congressperson, or any of their aides. 'Nuff said.

My God! He has never met with a member of congress about this? I did not know that. If that is true, and I completely believe that it is, then it just strenghtens my opinion that he is as big a charlatan as the people he puts on stage.

 

[David Biedny]

Well, Ron, I asked Bassett about this privately last year, and he danced around the question like Britney Spears at an open bar party. I pressed him to name a single congressperson, senator or any aide, and he couldn't give me a single name, nada. Make of this what you will.

I once asked Bassett the same question, in the legendary conversation at the Aquarius in Laughlin which led to him slapping his ass cheek in my face as he walked away. He couldn't give me an answer either.

He couldn't give me an answer either.

If you think about it Paul, he did give you an answer, in fact the only answer you ever need apply...

Q: Is Steve Bassett credible?
A: My ass!

Q: Can he organize a decent conference?
A: My ass!

Q: Does he have a hope in hell of achieving "disclosure"?
A: My ass!

I couldn't have said it better myself.

The amazing thing to me, given that Bassett is always short of money (or so it seems - it took him quite a while to pay out after the 1st X-Con, as I recall hearing from people who were there), is that he spent much of his time at the Aquarius at the poker tables. I wonder if it was "disclosure" money he was gambling with.

 

[CapnG]

I wonder if it was "disclosure" money he was gambling with.

The image of Bassett gambling with other people's money and losing horribly strikes me as oddly poetic and yet tragic at the same time (for the "other people" that is)...

 

[Stillborn]

I was going to say Bass slapping his ass meant he is one.

I will admit being dumb. First few times I heard Bassett back in the 90s, I thought he was a decent enough guy. Only decent though, not great. He bored me, I didn't pay attention to him for almost a decade. Now it appears he thinks he's a rock star, but can only break instruments and not play them.

But really, the media doesn't know Greer and Bassett are flippin woo woos. The fact disclosure hasn't happened, probably doesn't really matter who's hosting the event. Has more to do with conditioning, narrow minds, and laziness on the part of the critical mass of people. If ufos were made of money, the people of Earth would care. But, I think they think ufo's aren't made of it, so, they're happy to wait. They get their alien kicks off American Idol after all.
