DESERET NEWS: "Is There a Conservative Position on UFOs and Aliens?"

From Jennifer Graham's 6-4-21 DESERET NEWS article entitled "Is There a Conservative Position on UFOs and Aliens?":

Is there a partisan divide when it comes to ET?

While there’s no official party line on the subject, some big names have been talking about UFOs lately, including Harry Reid and Donald Trump, and even a prominent journal of conservative thought has taken on the topic.

Reid, the former Democratic leader of the Senate, has said he is fascinated by UFOs, having grown up in rural Nevada, a few hours’ drive away from the Extraterrestrial Highway that leads to Area 51, a classified U.S. Air Force facility. In 2007, Reid was one of three lawmakers (two Republicans and a Democrat) who helped to secure funding for the study of UFOs.

Trump, the former president, recently sounded skeptical of extraterrestrial visitors in an interview, saying that he doesn’t want to ruin anyone’s fun, but that he is “not such a believer.”

“I’m sort of a believer in what you see,” Trump said recently on the “Dan Bongino Show.” “But some people are. I don’t want to hurt their dreams or their fears.”

DAILY BEAST: "QAnon Crowd Convinced UFOs Are a Diversion From Voter Fraud"

From Will Sommer's 5-25-21 DAILY BEAST article entitled "QAnon Crowd Convinced UFOs Are a Diversion From Voter Fraud":

It’s never been a better time to believe in UFOs. Barack Obama talked last week about inexplicable footage of unidentified aerial phenomena, and former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) wrote about his trip to Area 51 in a recent op-ed. In June, American intelligence agencies are set to release an unclassified report on what the government knows about UFOs.

For “ufologists,” long mocked as tinfoil hat-wearers obsessed with little green men, some measure of vindication may finally be at hand. But for many UFO enthusiasts on the right, this new round of UFO disclosures is nothing to cheer about. Instead, they’re claiming the new videos of possible UFO sightings are meant to distract people from Donald Trump’s baseless voter fraud allegations and conspiracy theories about the coronavirus pandemic.

“There’s no doubt that this mainstream UFO disclosure push is offering a convenient distraction for the Deep State to turn our attention away from important issues like the Scamdemic and the election fraud getting exposed,” Jordan Sather, a UFO and QAnon conspiracy theorist, complained on social media network Telegram on May 19.

Sather, who has griped that interest in UFOs has just become a way for left-wing “social justice warriors” to “virtue signal,” typifies the response. At a moment when longtime UFO promoters are soaking in the mainstreaming of UFO discussion, many conspiracy theorists on the right instead see the sinister hand of a global cabal at play.

COUNTERPUNCH: "QAnon’s Alive and Bela Lugosi’s Dead: An Interview with Robert Guffey"

A few days ago, journalist John Kendall Hawkins of COUNTERPUNCH interviewed me about my latest novel, BELA LUGOSI'S DEAD, as well as my recent four-part EVERGREEN REVIEW series about the continuing madness of QAnon. The interview is called "QAnon’s Alive and Bela Lugosi’s Dead." You can read the entire interview right HERE.

BELA LUGOSI'S DEAD ON CONSPIRINORMAL!

On June 22nd, Adam Sayne and Serfiel Stevenson recorded my sixth appearance on CONSPIRINORMAL. This interview, posted on the 28th, can be heard in its entirety on YouTube. Here's Adam Sayne's description of the show: 

"Robert Guffey joins us to discuss his new fiction book BELA LUGOSI'S DEAD. We speak to Robert about some of the themes in the book and his fascination with the character and life of Bela Lugosi, especially dealing with Lugosi's relationship with Manly P. Hall and his interest in esotericism. We also speak to Robert about his continuing series in THE EVERGREEN REVIEW dealing with Qanon and the run up to the January 6th insurrection at the Capitol and how it was influenced by these ideas."
