Rob Peecher’s scandalmongering and knavish reporting at The Macon Telegraph is boundless. Laughably, he and his rag – desperate for a story of our interned master – published an article about the amount and contents of mail he receives. Within his ridiculing, he intends to haunt ones thoughts with, “York began claiming to be an alien from the planet Rizq.”

Perhaps his notion arrives from a book Dr. York-El authored, Man From Planet Rizq. However, would not a just reporter look past a book’s cover? Notorious is the saying, which declares that a book cannot be judged solely by it. Possibly, he fetched it from spiteful ex-followers, cyberspace, or a suspect grapevine. Whatever his source; he did not disprove it. To make it clear the aforementioned book affirms, “I (an etheric being) manifest into this body (Dr. York-El’s) to speak through this body.” Furthermore he states, “I possessed a number of eight distinct personalities, there are also others. Each one of them represents a certain amount of information that must be conveyed...some of them are healers, historians, great men, and some of them accompanied great men or are extraterrestrial beings.” In addition he states, “I feel sorry for the people who sit around and think I have the power to fabricate all of these things. If I did, I would probably spend my time writing movies as opposed to trying to raise lost souls.”

This is equivalent to any Christian who seeks the endowment of a “Holy Ghost or spirit” to accomplish godly works. Our teacher’s outputs certify that someone “extra” guides his writings, thoughts, and orations; at other times, he is simply a man. The latter is what is usually lambasted.

Is not it apparent that he willfully exposed his humanness by publishing his birth certificate, praising his lineage and kindred, having an annual birthday celebration, and fathering children?

Their whole theory of “there are only nine planets, and Earth is the only one with life” has been invalidated. Due to the water found on Mars, the earthy planet ‘55 Cancri,’ et cetera, the latest budget plan released by President Bush, à la the Department of Justice’s Project Blue Book, contains provisions for alien studies. If one wishes to play partisan politics, former President Jimmy Carter, and countless others, openly accept extraterrestrial existence.

One may say, “is not it you all who teach that belief is ignorance?” Certainly, yet, how much proof does one need to recognize the extinction of traditional cosmic logic? Maybe they need a close encounter.

November 17, 1999, several Georgians, including a Putnam County sheriff’s deputy – Kirk Seckinger – witnessed, contrary to his sheriff and “experts,” in their opinion an unidentified flying object. The sheriff says he, “basically dismissed it” though he admits that he “did walk outside (to investigate).”

When Peecher, the spin-doctor that he is, reports on his chum’s encounter he provides direct quotations and “expert analysis,” but with our teacher he avoids gettable information and unfavorably generalizes. He and those of his ilk are obviously desperate for attention and/or sales.
