And good ol' Chuck Missler, now there's
fine piece of work. Wiki says:
[link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)]
"In 1989 he headed up the Phoenix Group International, a former
Colorado real estate company that entered the high-tech industry
to sell personal computers to Russian schools.
Phoenix filed for bankruptcy protection in 1990 when
the deal did not develop as anticipated."


Reagan said "tear down that wall" and the Bolsheviks
had to do-a-spora to Ukraine, Israel, etc. FAIL!!!


"A Los Angeles Times article reported that Missler and co-author Hal Lindsey
had plagiarized a portion of Miami University Professor
Edwin Yamauchi's 1982 book Foes from the Northern Frontier

in their own 1992 book The Magog Factor.
Hal Lindsey's manager Paul Krikac said Missler had written
the passages in question, but conceded that Lindsey is responsible
for the overall manuscript: "His (Lindsey's) butt is on the line."
After the missed attribution was acknowledged by Missler,
book shipments to bookstores were discontinued and all of
the authors' proceeds donated to a ministry."

No doubt a "non-profit" ministry. ohyeah

"Missler has also been accused of plagiarism of New Age writer
Michael Talbot's 1992 book The Holographic Universe
in his 1999 book
Cosmic Codes: Messages from the Edge of Eternity. alienship
Missler has also acknowledged this as missed attribution
and has since publicly apologized.
He said a correction would be inserted in all unsold copies
and the book itself updated in subsequent printings.
Missler has donated all of the author's proceeds from the book to a ministry."

A non-profit spaceship ministry maybe?

And last, but least, I knew I had seen his name
somewhere in my past...


Due to his experience with technology, Missler was a figurehead
in bringing the "Year Two Thousand Bug" (a.k.a. "Y2K bug")
to the attention of the Christian community.
In 1998 he coauthored a book with John Ankerberg investigating
whether America would survive the crises to be caused, he claimed,
by embedded computer chips that would malfunction on what
they would calculate as year zero.

Missler died at his home in Reporoa, New Zealand on May 1, 2018 (aged 83).
