Radio 3Fourteen - Robert Guffey - Cryptoscatology: Conspiracy Theory as Art Form
Robert Guffey is the author of the nonfiction book Cryptoscatology: Conspiracy Theory as Art Form. He's published numerous short stories, articles and interviews in a wide range of magazines and anthologies. He's currently a lecturer in the Department of English at California State University—Long Beach. In the beginning of the interview, Robert tells how he became a Freemason and what led him into the field of conspiracy theory. He'll explain why he compares the field of conspiracy theory to classical mythology. We also talk about how conspiracy theory it littered with the carcasses of sincere truth seekers who failed in their search. Then, we discuss the conspiratorial side of the educational system, political correctness and the war on the imagination. Later, Robert talks about intelligence agents involved in the sci-fi genre. The hour ends with a story about a man who experienced the phenomena known as gangstalking.
I find it interesting how you have linked conspiracy theory with political correctness. I've just published a book entitled Destiny's Spear--From Hitler's Obsession to Patton's Possession. It's historical fiction about the spear used in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. www.blogdestinysspear.com. Political Correctness was different in the 1940s. How is the government using it to their advantage today?
