Everything That Was Beautiful Became Ugly Revisited

Interviews | New

A whopping four years have passed since the publication of my monumental article in July of 2019, though really, it’s more of a novella. Where has the time gone? I can still recall the hot summer day lounging alongside Dordogne River in France when I received the news, that Patricia had decided to let her potatoes cool off, and the underground wine cellar in a walled medieval village by which I conducted our interview, all as if it transpired yesterday. The article-novella which followed quickly went down as the most read publication of my writing career, and probably still continues to be, despite my smorgasbord of research material. And so, you may or may not be happy to know that I’ve opened up the vaults and extended the article somewhat. The latest iteration includes contributions from David Weiss, Bob Knodel, and Mark Sargent, all of whom I interviewed that summer. We’ll just call this one the director’s cut.

There are two ways in which you can read the latest expansion. One is by purchasing the July 2023 issue of TUC Magazine, in which it is featured. Finding it for sale on the bookshelf is the easy part. I just linked you to it. The other way is by downloading the PDF. You can sign up for TUC Membership as well as our monthly book releases by clicking that shiny turquoise button above. Of course, here [TUC MEMBERSHIP] is a link for your convenience. Or if you prefer, you can always feed the thirsty kitty below. So many ways to join!

Afterwards, ‘Everything That Was Beautiful Became Ugly: Leaving Flat Earth with Patricia Steere’ as well as my entire ARCHIVES of material is available for your reading and viewing pleasure here.

Acts 28 ends abruptly and that’s never sat right with me. With the inclusion of Acts 29, we are given a nice well-rounded finale to Luke’s biography and some interesting closure to Pontius Pilate as well. Join me as I continue my Lost Books of the Bible series on YouTube, reading from Acts 29, 3 Corinthians, and the Phoenix of Tertullian.

You can read along with these texts and more on our Sacred Scripture page. 

IN the summer of 2019, I was seated in the wine cellar of a walled Medieval town high above the Dordogne Valley of France, not far from Sarlat-la-Canéda, making phone calls, writing reports. I have given this story in other places and it appears as though you’re about to hear it again. Rob Skiba is a name you that you might be familiar with. Though he had made a name for himself as a Nephilim researcher, more recently Rob had taken a dive into the deep end of the pool via flat earth research. The recorded interviews I conducted between he and Rick Hummer, a fellow flat earth investigator and close friend of his, was published while still occupying that very wine cellar. Read all about it. Chicago Is Not a Mirage.

Word quickly spread. Within a few short weeks, dozens of flat earth researchers began accepting my invite for a private interview, if not a series of interviews. From a 17th-century tower built by King Louis XIV, and with a stunning view of the Alps, I sat down with Robbie Davidson, founder of the Flat Earth International Conferences, conducting multiple sessions. While staying in Dumfries, Scotland, David Weiss agreed to take part in the interviews, as did Bob Knodel of Globebusters. There were others. But when I asked the interviewees to discuss the moments that shaped their lives, among the many PSYOPs, false flag attacks, and hoaxes that were discussed, only these men committed commentary to the false 9/11 narrative.

The resulting recordings ballooned into The Unexpected Cosmology, a book which became a website and was even intended as an anthology. And of course, the following discourse was originally a chapter. It was Walt Disney who stated, “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.” Those sentiments remain applicable here as well. American Sensationalism: The 9/11 Interviews was always intended to be expanded upon with the inclusion of new researchers. So I’m sorry to say the project became stagnant during the Covid-19 psychodrama. I took a break to tackle other projects. We lost Rob Skiba. Rob offered hours of private conversation regarding his life but we never got around to the big one. 9/11. It was in the cards. Sadly, Bob Knodel died soon afterwards. Voices are being squeezed from an entire generation. Gnosis passes with them.

In the aftermath, the FE community became fractured. People began going their separate ways. Robbie Davidson, among a noted few others who were interviewed for the project, got up and left the movement altogether. It is not my intent to erase his or the contributions of others if only brief. They came, they went, their testimonies remain.

The original vision may have hit roadblocks but it is not forgotten. I expanded this paper a few years later to include testimony from author Pauly Hart, a dear friend of mine. I had wanted to continue that trend every year thereafter but you know how it goes. For the 25th anniversary of the attack I have redirected my efforts to its first large scale expansion, including Andrew Hoy and Darrin Geisinger into the mix. Perhaps others will lend their experiences to the recorder in time.

The following is their report.
