William Ben Stoecker is presented to us as a Former Air Force Intelligence Officer and UFO abductee. You might say from paranoia to paranormal. He belongs to that sector of the lunatic fringe who see conspiracy everywhere. Stoecker claims that the world is being manipulated by the Illuminati who originated 12,000 years ago in Atlantis. His ‘ideas’ are presented in a book^[119] and various articles^(a) on the Internet. One of these, entitled The False Prophet of Virginia Beach^(b), criticises the ‘work’ of Edgar Cayce.
