Hm. We need to come up with an avatar for Korff.

I think I've found the perfect avatar for Korff, but maybe some person can pick a frame from the following (short) movie which captures the essence of Colonel Korff in one hell of an excellent way.

My avatar would be good for him. Just photo shop a Capn Crunch hat on him. Oh, placing him in front of a mirror that reflects Horn back at him would be a nice touch. Korff doesn't seem to bring forth evidence to back up his claims, but expects others too. They have that in common. If not Horn, Greer, Serada, Santilli, or any others you can think of.

So the S3 is a private group and not military, then why does Korff have a military rank and wears a uniform? And I seem to recall that he didn't exactly make it clear around 6 months ago that it was a PRIVATE organisation.
When you read the article Korff claims Tommy isn't qualified to investigate yet the same person should contact the S3 first for the 'right' information. I'm a bit puzzled here but shouldn't the S3 provide clear information so others don't start guessing?
Duh Korff. Give us the Hebrew name then, we can look a few things up. But I have a hunch this is all smokescreens and you wont get a straight answer.

Korff is using my avatar without my permission. Now I can sue.
Yes, that's right. It states on my website that you can't use my images without my permission, and that all material is copyright and trademarked to me.
Thanks a bunch Korff.

Hi, folks.
My first post here, let me be brief. I'm the author of "UFO Sightings" (Prometheus), I've been a CSICOP fellow for (gosh) 30 years now.
As you know, wrong assumptions often lead to wrong conclusions. One big, wrong assumption has been made here: Kal Korff *is not* a "UFO debunker", and never has been. While he is skeptical of some cases (especially the Billy Meier "Contact from the Pleiades"), he is on the pro-paranormal side. (And hence, we should not be surprised to see him writing weird stuff.)
I've met Korff, several times. Talked with him, exchanged letters, etc. He began in UFOlogy as the sidekick of Stanton Friedman, the "Flying Saucer Physicist." Last time I saw him was 1995, I was in Seattle to be on a TV show about the "Alien Autopsy" hoax, and Korff turned up in the audience. He was properly skeptical of the alien-slice-and-dice film. He told me he was going to be moving to Seattle (had been in the Bay Area) and do radio. He told me about his "Critical Thinkers" group, that would investigate claims objectively. Why, just recently they had found archaeological evidence of Egyptian legions drowned in the Red Sea, exactly as it says in Exodus!
Then somehow Korff ended up in Prague, and was married to a Czech woman, as I understand it. He's been there ever since. This "Colonel" business is probably mostly in his fertile imagination. "Colonel Korff" is probably about as official as "Colonel Sanders."
Now, I did not read the website in question very carefully, but I saw nothing that makes me think it's a hoax. Korff has had a long-standing feud with Kevin Randle, which is represented here. I don't have Korff's address now, but you can probably contact him through the website.

The End of "L'Affaire Korff"
I got on Kal Korff's bad side (not a hard thing to do with such a thin-skinned person) by noting, simply, that his claim to have been an "expert witness" in the O. J. Simpson trial was inaccurate (see column here.) He never testified - ergo, he could not, by any legal definition, have been a "witness" of any sort. A minor point, but one that went to his propensity to guild the proverbial lily.
He was wrong. He knew it. He just wouldn't admit it.
What he would do, however, was remove any reference to his having beem an "expert witness" at his website.
His exact claim was to have been "a key, expert witness in the O.J. Simpson murder trial CIVIL lawsuit". As you can see, if you click that link, it's not there anymore.
Further, if you go to his bio page, you'll find no reference to having been a "key, expert witness".
Poor Kal - he can't admit a mistake, or, in this case, an exaggeration, so he erases it and then tries to distract your attention by making it about the other guy, in this case, me, because he now describes me thusly on his site, under the sub-heading "Falsehoods about Kal Korff":
Kimball or Goofball? - Attorneys Shred St. APauling.
Umm.. if they had "shredded me", then Korff would still have his "Key, expert witness" claim up on his site. But it wasn't about shredding me - they would have had to shred all the legal sources I cited in the original column and comments to back up my position, because, unlike Korff, I actually do my research, and offer support for the positions I take (unless, like Korff, you count a photo of some guy with a self-serving caption added underneath it as "proof" of something).
So sad. He did some good work once, but who knows what happened to him in the intervening years. I feel sorry for him. He sounds like he's all alone in this world, and from the looks of it, it seems like he's the author of that situation.
What a waste of whatever talents he might once have had.
If Korff wants to continue bashing me on his site and his radio appearances, more power to him. As it has from the start, it says more about him and his state of mind than it does about me, or anything else connected with the real world.
For my part, time to move on to more productive uses of my time.

Taken from the above link. Apparently Kal teaches English?
I think at least half of the criticisms of Kal's boners and pretensions have been on-target, and some have been very amusing. The objectionable ones have been the ones that went beyond that into mean-spiritedness, overstatement, and harassment/censorship. I objected to (the worst of) those at the time.
Criticizing him for his cook-a-meal project was mean. That's an expression of his (sizable) juvenile side--and it's a side of everyone that shouldn't be suppressed. (Instead, how about trying to outdo him? How about offering to deliver an American pizza with Domino-pizza-speed. E.g., Call a number; Open a window; Duck--here comes a flying disk!)
I even think his Star-Trek type uniform was so over-the-top it deserved as much applause as sneers. Who among us would have the nerve and lack of guile to reveal so innocently our inner Walter-Mitty-istic idealized images of ourselves? Not me.
And who's to say that his juvenile approach to counter-terrorism is as absurd as we're conditioned to think it must be? Are the "grown-ups" in Homeland Security and similar agencies really grown-up, or are they just play-acting too?
Nevertheless, Kal's critics are justified in becoming somewhat heated, because (among other things) Kal claims to be teaching good English, because he hasn't conceded his errors (or only a few of them), because he's taken a lordly tone regarding what he invariably refers to as his "so-called critics" (as though no criticism worthy of the name could apply to him), and because (I suspect) he's used his lawyers to panic this site into shutting down critical threads in their entirety, rather than to merely removing objectionable posts.
Despite the temptation, I suggest that critics not attempt knockout blows, but instead ding him by making note of his misstatements, evasions, etc., so that after a year or two they'll have accumulated enough for someone to publish a selection of the "best" items online, as a PDF, or even as a monthly column in some Czech newspaper. A chapter devoted to his linguistic infelicities could state that its purpose was to help Czech students become more proficient in English!

Contacted his webhost in regards to copyright infringement. The wheels are turning.
Wow, I wish I had as much time to obsess over a nutcase as Tommy.
Jeez.
You should come to Seattle, we have crazy people all over the place . . . parks, bridges, alleys, behind grocery stores. You could have some variety. . . you know, pick a different crazy person to obsess over each week.
Korff is crazy . . .
. . . I'm beginning to think Tommy is too.

David, Gene, Please have that stupid **** on your show. PLEASE!!!!
Get that assclown to be on your show. It would be hilarious. Then we could find out everything about the guy, because after all, I'm totally unqualified to investigate his "Credentials".
Well I contacted his webhost and since apparently I now have to get my lawyer involved tomorrow, I plan to take as much money as I can from Dreamhost since the stupid ****er is using my images and my name on his site.
Maybe when the legal wheels start rolling Korff will get wise and take my photo down. Or, do I have to start posting pictures of The Adventures Of Super Secret Special Agent Col. KKK???

Holy F-ing crap... read the header on his website. His Secret Wars TV show, is supposedly a blending of fact and fiction.
Oh man... Yeah... Who ever the dumbass was that decided to give Korff a TV show needed to be factored out of the genepool LONG ago.
The idea of Korff spreading his lunacy across the airwaves, is enough to make me want to flag down a flying saucer and BEG the aliens to take me away.
David, Gene, I recant what I said about Kol. KKK. Don't have him on your show. His lunacy is a lot like crabs, Sure, you might get rid of them but you'll still feel icky.
