Hi Bob, just continuing from the old thread (Bagster added you because you like to be the star ;) ) - here's an example of why I like to take paid shills with a grain of salt, especially those that follow a recognizable commercial format. I'm not into censorship but I think there should be a certain amount of caution before buying (literally) into someone's monetized spiel.

Once you've seen the same people hijack each succeeding movement for their own commercial ends for years you begin to realize there's a pattern. Now it's Q drops, before that it was Obama, 9/11, UFOs, Government Conspiracies and so on. Often, the same people have been at it for decades. Before the internet, your local gun shows were the best place to find these types of folks peddling their wares.

I think Wilcock is a good example - he's been at the new age, reincarnation, UFO racket for 20 years. Now he's a Christian Q guru, integrating that into his shtick. From his bio:

In September of 1997, David was told in a consciously induced OBE to move to Virginia Beach, Virginia. As soon as David arrived in Virginia Beach, many A.R.E. people recognized him as the spitting image of a young Edgar Cayce. Then, in November of 1997, after considerable speculation from self and others, David confronted his Source directly about the possibility of having been Edgar Cayce in a past life. The source said that “in short, the answer is yes… and with this knowledge comes great responsibility”, and other than the start of the channeling itself, this was by far the greatest surprise of David’s entire life.

For only $260 you can spend June 1-4 with him and his fellow shills at an expensive resort in Indian Wells, lodging and food are on you of course. He could care less about Q other than it's a hot new topic that he has been taking advantage of. Since he is just hijacking it for monetized purposes and has a history of fabricating things he really can't be trusted as to what he is saying.

The basic template these folks use is fairly simple, it works as an outline that is embellished with a premise that is a hot button for your intended audience, and content sequenced with sales pitches for products such as books and audio cassettes, videos, exclusive 'intelligence reports', access to special content, seminars, personal appearances and more so that the audience can help support the authors in style.

They start by concocting a worthy click-bait headline as the first hook. It typically includes something universally in the target audience's consciousness, such a the Q drops. The next step is to create a 3-act outline starting with an introduction to the premise, reinforcement of the premise, and concludes with a call to action with a promise of an upcoming surprise. Sales pitches are cleverly inserted into each act to market the product which is the only real reason for the content. Hook, line and sinker.

Let's put up a ridiculous premise that stretches credulity. We'll start by pretending the Inter-galactically famous Bagster is our author (Wilcock claims there are Americans throughout the galaxy so it's true!). Now let's puff up the qualifications. Dr. Bagster received his Doctorate at the prestigious Strabismus Institute of Applied Psychology and is founder of the renowned Society of Freepius Trollius Exterminus.

Now for the click-bait.

Sex-trafficking Mermaid Scandal Deepens as LAPD Threatens to Release Secret Footage.

An image under the title helps reinforce the click-bait.

Next, the intro. How about aliens, everybody loves aliens. Aliens that crash-landed on Earth millennia in the past and were unable to reproduce in Earth's heavier gravity so went into the oceans and mated with humans, creating mermaids. There was no conflict until the Illuminati discovered that if mermaids were tortured, their pineal glands would produce a substance called Acetyleternaline, which extends human life by 50% or more.

Now we state how courageous we are - our intrepid author has been toiling for years developing contacts in Deep State and risking his life to search for the truth. He is not alone. Bob was almost killed when his boat was sabotaged and sunk after getting exclusive footage of the mermaid pen and sunken alien ship.

The mother ship is still recognizable after 12,000 years.

Let's add a catch - Most of Bob's footage was confiscated by the LAPD and turned over to the Navy. He was able to conceal his phone and save the images here. We can't release all of the footage because it might cause world-wide riots. Insert some teaser photos:

Bob was able to interview the escaped mermaid and you won't believe the shocking revelations.

Now let's sell something.

Meet Dr. Bagster in person! Get full access to the most current developments!

Single day Dude Gold Status tickets are only $35!
Full event multi-day Platinum Bagster Passes are only $99!
Hurry now as space is limited and selling out fast!

Next, the premise is reinforced with wild claims and pseudo-evidence, with more episodes of personal risk, tragedy, and drama.

Prominent political personalities have ties to the Acetyleternaline conspiracy. Al Franken and Adam Schiff been taped raping and eating a pre-adolescent mermaid according to an insider at the FBI. Dr. Bagster's hamster was run over by a Tonka truck and left on his doorstep as a warning to not continue investigating.

Henry the hamster with his truck in happier times.

Now we sell more stuff like books.

The conclusion and call to action.

These people are sick and need to brought to justice and were the ones who deserve credit. Please help us continue the good fight and support our expensive efforts that we have risked our lives to get to you. Write your congressman and tell your friends. Oh, and by the way, buy more stuff and sign up for the exclusive insider monthly investigation status report!

Now the author brags some more.

Dr. Bagster has a beautiful estate on the beach in southern California (be like Bagster) and here is his gorgeous hybrid wife Goldie by the grotto.

Hook for continued readership.

Be sure to check back next month as we have exclusive interviews with the Easter Bunny and his addiction to mermaid bondage and Acetyleternaline.

Overly simple example but that's how I see it works.

I think you get better information and analysis from Free republic and the boards and other forums than with some hack who's trying to grub a buck using Q.

Can't argue with your logic, eldoradude. Not one bit.

:)

That was....

Wow! What a compendium of provocation! :^D You don't happen to have the phone # of any of those mermaids, do you? ...or, I could settle for that sword in the foreground of pic #3.

You made quite an effort to make your point, and you have made it. I must sheepishly confess to some jealousy at these lightweights making all this money, getting tv shows and traveling all over the world... most of which were childhood dreams of mine, almost completely unfulfilled. ...a curse of age, I suppose.
= = = = = = = = =
As to my 'books', here are the links:
Tolkien The only Tolkien dictionary in the world
Bible Mysteries 'An Aid To the Tribulation Period' sadly a bit incomplete
and The Great Delusion, which is not too much about evolution, although it is...
