Zguy & Lurkless,

I don't get Art Bell here in the mountains, and my webtv won't get me real audio. Would either or both of you be so kind as to post at least the gist of tonight's program with Jim Marrs? After reading his books I have great respect for this mans observations and opinions.

Also, I think Strieber is tops.

What Richard said. We get Art Bell on occasion is summer when the skip is rolling, but otherwise nothin'. Thanks.

Who is Jim Marrs and what are his qualifications? I'm in the middle of listening to him and I think some of the people that post on this site know more about Y2K and oil problems than he does. He's reading information that was posted here a week ago.

Well, I heard he was the radio, and I came [i]here[/i] to see what U all had to say. I was told that he spoke about alotta of refinery problems, and was it y2k, or terrorism, and that Marrs also told about the bbc report about the Russia Far East.

What I was told was interresting enough for me to come here to read your board, I don't know that Marrs knows any more that you, and prolly less.

I had looked to this program with anticipation, knowing Jim's reputation for doing some great research and writing ("Alien Agenda") on the UFO/ET subject. As one of the other respondants to this thread has already observed, I didn't learn anything more by listening to him on Dreamland than what I've learned from the people on this board.

I thought his take on the nuclear power industry, in which I'm employed, was a bit of a stretch. People are making a lot out of the NRC's Daily Plant Status report, and all of the reports of reactor scrams and power reductions... there's nothing new going on here. This stuff seems to be happening industry wide with about the same frequency as I've noticed before 2000. I know our plant had a reactor trip on the 30th, which went unexplained for three days before we finally stumbled on the fact that a shorted cable connector in a solenoid valve caused the turbine to trip. To the rest of the world, this had all the trimmings of a Y2K failure, but it was as far from a computer as you can get.

Jim spent a great deal of time discussing the current slate of problems in the nation's nuclear plant, but I think there's a lot more possibilities for real Y2K problems in other industries which are more automated. Nuclear power in the USA is not very hi-tech. Regulations prohibit computer control of critical functions.

He did spend some time talking about the petroleum industry where the technology is not as hampered by regulations. Here again, I learned more about what's happening in that industry through posts and links on this board.

The net effect of his appearance was to reach those who aren't going out of there way to pursue what is considered by the masses (and some of the regulars here ;-)) to be a done deal. For those who were expecting to be titillated with some new shocking revelations, as I was, I can tell you that you would have been disappointed.

It will be interesting to see if it does anything to stir interest in the ongoing Y2K phenomena. I don't see the mainstream getting interested in it until their tax refunds are late, or gas prices continues to climb to levels which are above anything OPEC could contrive.

John and all,

Thanks much for the run-down on Jim Marrs and Dreamland. Don't know what I was expecting other than the fact that from reading this man's work his writings present themselves as being well grounded in fact. I had thought that if he had any information it would be worth listening to. Evidently not.

Oh well, so much for that. This only goes to reinforce my feeling that the information pouring through this forum, the good, the bad and the ugly can't be beat.
