He's my favorite conspiracy theorist. I dunno what kinda US/world-wide distribution he gets, but he's on KFJC 89.7 Thursdays and Fridays at 6, and you can listen to a lot of his shows at Spitfirelist.com or WFMU.org (when it's back up). He's incredibly well-researched and intelligent, and many of his arguments are quite convincing, at least until you start to pay close attention to 'em. And even if you don't care to parse his lectures, his dulcet bari-tones are soothing and restful, even when he's talking about how the Nazi Muslim Brotherhood controls the US media through the Saudi royal family.

He's also attracted some rather unsavory attention from truly unbalanced (read: violent) types who've wanted him off the air for one reason or another, but my information on this topic is scant.

And this is ILM because?

Not slighting on Emory as he's one of the few conspiracy guys who doesn't automatically believe in everything. His critique of the 9/11 controlled demolition crowd and the people who still go on about the grassy knoll is pretty spot on.

Also... One of the scariest/spookiest hours of radio I've ever heard was when he was being interviewed live (not part of his regular FTR series) on a local LA radio station the night after 9/11. He pretty much nailed what the game plan for the next five years was going to be like.

Classic, if only for calling Ralph Nader "Darth Nader"

Eh, I guess I figure "audio entertainment" is fair game for ILM. It's not like Emory's an escapee from the Commonwealth Club.

lol this guy is crazy, there was one show (maybe during fundraising)where he talked about how he doesn't have time for dates because of all his "research"
how does obama fit into his conspiracy theories??

He gone into the details on how Obama's Chicago political connections may blowback against him and the variety of forces arrayed against him in 2009. See:

He may be crazy, but he's a very refined kind of crazy.

heard this guy for the first time today without any prior knowledge of his schtick (he follows dj rupture, whose last podcast went 10 minutes into de's show). obsessive and crazy, but so articulate and oddly compelling.

http://spitfirelist.com/news/update-on-for-the-record-production/

As vet­eran users of this web­site (and vet­eran lis­ten­ers) know, I haven’t pro­duced new For The Record pro­grams for more than a year.

I reported that I had been obliged to sus­pend pro­duc­tion due to the pres­sures of the day job. (I live an artist’s lifestyle, using paid employ­ment to sus­tain myself while I do research, writ­ing and pro­gram production.)

This was a nec­es­sary obfus­ca­tion, under the circumstances.

In real­ity, I was seri­ously ill. I have main­tained my health very effec­tively over the years, on the balance.

I did let my den­tal health slide a bit, under the extreme pres­sures of the effort. A tooth became infected and the infec­tion spread.
I had to have major oral surgery and was hos­pi­tal­ized for a month. It was a very, very seri­ous situation.

Out of the hos­pi­tal and dan­ger, I am rehab­bing nicely and am await­ing the con­struc­tion and fit­ting of par­tial den­tures. I was unable to speak clearly for a long time, neces­si­tat­ing the hia­tus from broad­cast production.

For secu­rity rea­sons, I did not dis­close this when under­go­ing treatment–there are those ele­ments who wish me ill and I didn’t think it pru­dent to be com­pletely can­did, under the circumstances.

I will be resum­ing pro­gram pro­duc­tion very shortly. Until I have mas­tered my “new chops” and can speak with­out an imped­i­ment, the pro­grams will con­sist of rel­e­vant excerpts of the old Archive Shows with intro­duc­tions to be read by guest per­son­al­i­ties. This mate­r­ial will be new to the over­whelm­ing major­ity of listeners.

I will also be pro­duc­ing on-air inter­views with guests, with sur­ro­gate inter­view­ers pos­ing ques­tions which I will com­pose.
As soon as I am able, I will be back on the air in per­son. I do not think this will take very long, but, never hav­ing trav­eled down this par­tic­u­lar road, can’t say for absolute sure.

I have dri­ven myself relent­lessly for­ward for more than three decades and am com­mit­ted to the effort. Nonethe­less, being in my six­ties, I will be tak­ing more time to “smell the flow­ers,” so to speak.

From the feed­back I’ve got­ten over the years, it has become appar­ent that many (if not most) of the lis­ten­ers do not under­stand the truly Spar­tan and Her­culean nature of my effort over the years. I will be sus­tain­ing that effort, but will be a lit­tle kinder to myself.

The Zero Hedge guy has nothing on Dave when it comes to high-level macro-conspiracy analysis that's either uranium-grade bulldada or the hidden truth about everything

two years pass...

Listened to his first post-Trump election episode. He's rightfully become the guy wearing an "I told you the End Times were coming!" sandwich board.
