SFS on Rense Tonight

I'll be speaking about my Science Fiction Secrets book tonight on The Jeff Rense Program, with host Brad Steiger. Here's the link for times, etc.

Science Fiction Secrets at MUFON

On Tuesday night, I gave an illustrated lecture on my Science Fiction Secrets book to the San Antonio, Texas-based chapter of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). I spoke for about an hour or so (on such issues as the Reagan-Spielberg-E.T. controversy; the strange story of Mikel Conrad and his film The Flying Saucer; the FBI's file on Philip K. Dick; Stalin's Ape-Men; and much more); after which there followed a lively question-and-answer session that ran for about 45-minutes.

The SA MUFON group is comprised of a good bunch of people, and they have some interesting speakers at their monthly meetings. And it was very good to see legendary MUFON figure Walt Andrus in attendance, too.

Thanks to Julie and John for getting me down there to speak again!

The FBI and Philip K. Dick

...And, as a follow-on from my last post on Philip K. Dick, here's an extract from one of the various letters (reproduced in my Science Fiction Secrets book) that Dick sent to the FBI that outlined his strange conspiracy theories...

The Jet-Propelled Couch

MetaFilter has an interesting thread going on right now on the weird story of Kirk Allen - who combined science-fiction and high-level secrecy in a fashion that was surely truly unique to him.

You can find more about Kirk Allen, his science-fiction links, as well as his connections to government cover-ups and secrecy in my Science Fiction Secrets book.

Philip K. Dick - Tour Today

Good friend Greg Bishop has the following to say about Philip K. Dick at UFOMystic; the blog we run together:

"C’mon, you don’t have a job. You don’t have anything to do Monday afternoon. You live in California, where mystic science fiction writer Philip K. Dick lived most of his adult life, specifically in Fullerton, where my friend (and co-founder of The Excluded Middle magazine) Robert Larson grew up.

"Robert will be leading a tour of his hometown, where he has painstakingly located many sites that Dick mentioned in his novels, including the apartment where the 'pink beam' of a Vast Active Living Intelligence System (or VALIS for short) allegedly struck Dick on February 3, 1974, changing his life forever.

"Dick did not take his strange experiences literally, at least not in the way that caused belief in one interpretation and stopped his personal evolution. In this way, he was much like psychologist Carl Jung, who was one of his inspirations. Coincidentally, Jung’s intensely personal journal known as the 'Red Book' will be published this fall."

Greg concludes: "Robert will meet Phil Dick seekers at the corner of East Chapman Avenue and North State College Boulevard in Fullerton at 3PM on September 21st. The event is sponsored by the League of Western Fortean Intermediatists (LOWFI) and is free, but donations for the tourguide will be accepted."

So, you may ask, why am I mentioning this here? Simple!

My new book, Science Fiction Secrets, includes a whole chapter on (A) Philip K. Dick's relationship with the FBI; (B) the Bureau's file on the man; and (C) letters from Dick to the G-Men - written in the 1970s - in which the famous author outlined his theories concerning a conspiracy of truly cosmic proportions that linked the world of science-fiction with ultra-right-wing groups...
