Steve Quayle & Whitley Strieber Join Forces

I've been following both Steve and Whitley's so-called careers since the late 80's. Yet I never foresaw the day the 2 of them would join forces. Now, why would I use words like "join forces"? Afterall, so far we simply have Whitley Strieber on Quayle's Q Files on 5-13-09. We also know that Steve will be Whitley's guest on DREAMLAND Saturday 5-16-09.

This in itself is mind boggling. Yes, both are big doom & gloomers (although Whitley has come to this marketing strategy relatively lately in terms of the planet's future). Ironically, Whitley sees our doom in ecological terms, and seems a big adherent to the global warming (followed by an ice age) theories. In contrast, I don't think Steve believes in global warming at all, like all good little conservative right winger religious spokesmen.

Whitley also has never publically been a Bible thumping rabid right winger, like Steve. Whitley comes from a much more cosmopolitan intellectual New York vantage point, whereas Steve has spent most of his life in rustic Montana, fighting off the New World Order from his survivalist store and family tract house (and talking to Jesus in his basement).

But what led me to use the words "join forces" is the mild hype they are each giving each other. Steve repeatedly referred to Whitley as his FRIEND on the Q Files episode. Since Steve just about hates everyone (except an informant named Betsy and a few 4 star generals), this was astonishing to me. Steve is reaching out to Whitley! In return, on Whitley's DREAMLAND website, Whitley talks about how this is just the start of a beautiful relationship (echos of the end of CASABLANCA come to mind as the 2 men walk off into the fog, ready to fight in the Nazi resistance).

However, each has his hatred to join with the other! Whitley Strieber said he has a particular hatred for the producers and writers of a SOUTHPARK episode that lampooned his "anal probe" remarks. Whitley also harbors great hate for other media personalities who satirized him over the decades. So, both men while professing to be Christian, nurture their deep abiding hatred of others. Whitley said on the Q Files that this was his moral right. Hmmm....not what I was taught in Catachism classes where forgiveness was the way to freedom, not vengeance and decade's old hatred. Nonetheless, it does tie the two men together since we are all familiar with how much Steve hates just about everyone, including the GLP forum members!

Evidently, each sees value in the other. In my opinion, Whitley is very much a conspiracy culture camp follower. He tries to always sense what is the latest conspiracy/ufo lore that he can suck off to personal advantage. Sometimes it backfires. For example, about a year or more ago, people were reporting sightings of bizarre drones, not the simple US military airplane drones, but huge flying contraptions that looked more Klingon than human. Whitley then went on Coast to Coast claiming that he saw such a Klingon inspired drone flying over the California coast. Big mistake! . The entire rest of the UFO research community subsequently determined that all photos on the internet of such devices were faked, and all eye witness accounts disappeared. So Whitley was left holding the bag of poop on this one. He had aligned himself personally with seeing something that does not exist outside photoshop! Oops!

So what is Whitley up to with his interest in Steve? Of course, Steve can make a great talk show guest since he talks very fast and can handle the entire interview with one long monologue. I am sure Steve loves the opportunity for more exposure with a long term "big name" in the ufo field. I also found it bizarre that Whitley (on the Q Files) allowed Steve to interpret Whitley's experiences in a Bible thumper conspiracy manner. I suspect Whitley is intentionally allowing Steve to do this although Whitley has never indicated that he adheres to Steve's paranoid world view (aliens are all demons here as part of the End Times delusion, aka Lynn Marzulli's bread and butter).

Anyway, this will be interesting to watch. Will the 2 last as a couple? Will they perhaps write a book together? Will both become regulars on each other's show? Will each become the other's favorite "backsider"? (It would be easy to make a sleazy reference to Whitley's anal probe history, but I will remain discreet).

Let's all watch this strange joining of 2 masters of the ufo and conspiracy fields, and see if it lasts and what it produces.
