BAASS naively thought that the best way to change hearts and minds would be to put a bunch of old white guys “in wing-backed chairs with a living room atmosphere on a raised stage in a university auditorium” to debate the importance of accepting the catechism of ET imminence. I would be remiss, however, if I failed to point out that this is pretty much the format of Ancient Aliens Live, but that stage show’s audience tends to be self-selecting.
BAASS laid out how they would use a network of like-minded believers in the media to push their narrative, particularly by paying (!) journalists to put out pro-UFO stories:
In order to sustain multiple forums with audiences of five hundred to a thousand people, BAASS will launch an aggressive multi-media promotion. The program will stand or fall on the ability of BAASS to orchestrate an aggressive promotional campaign and the ability to acquire noteworthy panel participants and to maintain audience interest.
• Internet promotion: Several well known UAP Internet journalists and bloggers will be approached and hired. BAASS can rapidly contact up to six individuals who collectively are responsible for millions of Internet blog postings.
• Radio promotion: BAASS has access to several well known UAP-friendly radio journalists, a couple of whom are celebrities in their own right. Newsprint promotion: The "UAP friendly" news media will be approached and utilized in order to promote the BAASS agenda through newspaper and online articles. Again BAASS can contact over half a dozen well known UAP journalists.
• Television promotion: BAASS has discussed this with one well known TV journalist who is also a celebrity is willing to commit to such a project. Other TV journalists are in line for BAASS contacts.
• Celebrities: BAASS senior analyst John Schuessler put together a list of celebrities with a professed interest in the UAP topic. This list comprises over twenty individuals that may be receptive to engagement.
Anyhow, if BAASS’s claims are true, it somewhat gives the lie to the idea of UFO “journalists” are anything more than willing propagandists and collaborators. It remains to be seen if the groups that followed in BAASS’s wake followed through with plans to pay UFO “journalists” to carry water for them.
