Kenn Thomas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kenn Thomas is a conspiracy theorist, writer, university library archivist, and editor & publisher of Steamshovel Press, a parapolitical conspiracy magazine. He has written books on the Inslaw affair, co-authoring The Octopus with the late Jim Keith, and on Fred Crisman and the Maury Island Incident.

Thomas has authored over a dozen books on various conspiracy topics, including NASA, Nazis & JFK; Maury Island UFO, about possible John F. Kennedy assassination-connected personality Fred Crisman; and The Octopus: Secret Government and the Death of Danny Casolaro, about the Inslaw affair. In 2004, Feral House published a new edition of The Octopus, extending its connections to the post 9/11 world and al Qaeda. Thomas calls his research interest “parapolitics,” the study of conspiracies of all colors -- from alien abductions and the Illuminati, to the John F. Kennedy assassination and the September 11, 2001 attacks (parapolitics). The New Yorker called his work “on the cutting edge” of conspiracy.^{[citation needed]} His work has become proverbial enough that Baseball Prospectus 2002 by Joseph S. Sheehan and Chris Kahrl described conspiratorial activity in that sport as having "enough fishy behavior to keep Kenn Thomas swarming for years."

Thomas has appeared at Conspiracy Con in 2003,^[1] and 2007.^[2]^[3]
