John Lear C2C chat from March 24, 2010. Crazy theories and stories are his hobbies.

This one made me laugh.

Was last night's entire show an APRIL FOOL'S joke? I heard the first hour of John Lear and then parts as I dozed off to sleep. Dick Cheney was the brains behind 911? Space-based devices that cause . . . material disassociation . . . caused the Towers to fall? The images of airliners flying into the towers were 3-d holograms? One of the flights landed in Cleveland and the passengers disembarked and went into a NASA hanger? Seriously, was this an April Fool's joke or was this really John Lear being serious? If it was an April Fool's joke it wasn't funny. If Lear was being serious then he is a complete lunatic. Lear's website says the far side of the moon has atmosphere, big cities, trees, rivers. I don't care if the guy was an accomplished airline pilot - the Jet Blue incident shows us that airline pilots can lose their minds. And if this guy is serious about all this stuff, he's definitely out of his mind. Seriously, I thought everything about last night's C2C was repulsive.

At the very end, Wells claimed that it had been a joke, but if so, it was weirdly executed ~~

Agreed. But don't forget the moon malls: "they have malls that make ours look like 7-11s."
If they were pranking us, then whoever came up with that line is a genius! Which leads us to:

What's the name of Phil Hendrie's "drunk pilot" character? "Austin Amarca?" Combine him with the characters "General Johnson Jamison," "Dr. Jim Sadler," and "Dr. Jeff Doubter" and you pretty much have Lear and/or his totally bizarre call-in pal toward the end of the show, "Dr. Joe Resnick." That name even sounds like a Hendrie character.

Dick Cheney was the brains behind 9/11?

THAT's the only part I could believe.

I thought most of it was hilarious -- either as a joke, or even as serious claims of fact. But it WAS weird, either way.

If they were joking, then that's ironically even more proof of Lear's lunacy. He'd have to be crazier then we thought if he didn't see how something like this could only hurt his almost-nonexistent credibility.

Judy Wood's going to be madder than a wet hen that her pet theory ("dustification" of the Twin Towers) was used as part of a joke. But then, that loony goes around in a permanent state of wet-henness anyway.

Yes. In the last minute of last night's show, John B. Wells admitted that the entire show was an April Fool's joke. I had a nagging suspicion throughout the evening that this was so, but I was convinced during the final "interview with the scientist" segment. I for one thought it was totally hilarious. This is my first post here.

OMG they got me so good last night!!! I had just finished watching the Thrive movement video and was so upset by all the "real" stuff "they" do to us so I guess my mind was ripe for the picking....they had me all the way through bigfoot from Mars even....I was hooked until they said April Fools....excellent work!! Everyone is so stressed now adays it was great to learn not to take it all so serious.

Lear and Resnick. C'mon! What obvious tripe! Moon-bases and mining for metals? Seriously, can anyone take "He Smells" Bee Wells seriously any longer after this stink of a show? What an 'effing tool. And his STUPID "caravan" lines are pathetically embarrassing.

I've only made it through the first hour of John Lear's appearance so far. However, the comments about John B. saying it was April Fools got my curiosity, so I listened to the last minute of the show. I believe these are John B.'s words regarding April Fools.
"Well everybody, I've one last announcement to make. It's April Fools Day. And this entire program has been an oral holgram so to speak, or an illusion. Or was it just an illusion of an illusion?"

Pretty cryptic. No mention of a mothership? A bridge?

Well, I spent Friday night moving one computer desk out of my bedroom and another solid oak one into the bedroom & hadn't measured how much room I had to get it FROM the living room to the bedroom. It just about killed me because I had to lift it up into the air and then carry it about 4 feet down the hall. Moral : Always move the rest of the stuff before you move something really heavy ! Now I have to put everything back that had to be taken off both tables. I had moved the tables so eventually there will be a nice place to watch my HD tv once I get one at or around the end of the year. == With running around on Fri/Sat * moving the desk, by 10 pm Saturday I collapsed into bed and turned on Coast. They got me good ! I bought it hook line and sinker because it sounded so damned plausible at least in parts. If there are bases on the moon built by either us or the aliens, I want to shop at their outlet stores ! LOL ! Lear is fun to listen to and it beat a lot of the crappy shows Snoory puts out. Also shows that the host and Lear have a sense of humor. I'd not heard that it was an april fools joke as I turned it off and went to bed.

...see, this has been bothering me since the end of that show with Wells.

Wells played it off like a joke at the end. Some listeners who aren't familiar with Lear might have thought that Lear was playing it over-the-top to help make the whole show a joke. But I immediately thought, after Wells worded his end-of-show ~ disclaimer? post-hoc claim to humor? ~ that Lear sounded like he always sounds! He wasn't "over the top" at all, for him!
Last night I re-heard his famous 2003 show with Art where he posed Art the "tell or don't tell" question about ET contact, assuming Art were given the "real info." Lear was saying the same OTT stuff he did in the "joke" show with Wells.

So who was joking whom? Did Wells just get poor ol' delusional Lear to spew his usual stuff, then call it a joke, and Lear be damned? Or was it a real Hendrie-esque joke show, with Lear in on it? Given that Lear was just saying ~ essentially~ his usual spiel, then: is Lear, and has he always been, a total joke and just "working" all of us?

When your shtick is indistinguishable from parody, you've got a credibility problem. John Lear is an absolute, certifiable loon. I've seen a bunch of high-flight-time pilots who are bugs-in-the-head crazy. I don't know if it's the result of years of no oxygen at 10k-20k altitudes where "tough" pilots often won't use O²; or if it's too much O². But there are waaaay too many nutcase pilots like John Lear for it to be random.

blackshap9 · « **Reply #44 on:** April 14, 2012, 06:17:58 AM »

Lear is a spook. Everything he has and will say should be treated as disinformation.

As far as John B Smells; I'm not sure he had built enough rapport to have been the host of a 4 hour prank show.

At this point I can't blame the hosts of C2CAM. The failure must be fully attributed to the producers and upper management.

I think you're right as to both. He hasn't established enough trust to start abusing it yet. Adult supervision was needed, and it wasn't there.

I tuned out before the end, and so the next day it was quite a surprise to read this was an April Fool's joke, because everything Lear said on the show was backed up in posts he's made over the years in other forums as well as his website, so who was fooling who? My first thought was that the "only joking" might have been tagged on at the end because they received a lot of complaints about Lear's 911 theories while the show was airing, but even there, it was nothing he hasn't said before publicly.

Morgus · « **Reply #47 on:** April 15, 2012, 12:30:04 AM »

John B. Wells at the start of his show tonight commented on the many emails he has received about his recent show with John Lear, asking if it was all an April Fool's joke.
He confirmed it was NOT a joke, and he had only mentioned at the end of the show that it was indeed April Fool's Day, but he didn't ever say the show was a joke.

astroguy · « **Reply #48 on:** April 15, 2012, 12:33:53 AM »

Thanks for the update, Morgus. I got the same impression as UnscreenedCaller that a butt-load of what Lear said was the same as what he's always said and Wells was just trying to save face at the end after realizing how wacko Lear really is. BUT, I agree with expat that SOME of what Lear said MAY have been for April 1st. What struck me was the whole Japanese earthquake last year being caused by a nuke, and the last bit with "Resnik" who "called in" to talk about his mineral holdings on the moon.

Yeah, like a guy who should be on Thorazine is going to be plugged in to what has to be among the most classified and protected information on earth.
