Kenn Thomas
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: Secret Government and the Death of Danny Casolaro 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. These include NASA, Nazis & JFK; Maury Island UFO, about the possibility that Fred Crisman was connected to the assassination of John F. Kennedy
; 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 the suggestion of connections to the post-9/11 world and al-Qaeda. A new edition of Maury Island UFO was published by Feral House
in 2011 as JFK & UFO: Military-Industrial Conspiracy and Cover-Up from Maury Island to Dallas.
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. The New Yorker
called his work “on the cutting edge” of conspiracy. His name has become a proverb for a conspiracy theorist; enough so that baseball was described in print as involving "enough fishy behavior to keep Kenn Thomas swarming for years."
Thomas has appeared at Conspiracy Con
in 2003, and 2007, at the Alternative Research Community conference in Bath, England in 2010, and at many other conferences.
