– Technoccult – Remembering Mac Tonnies

Mac Tonnies (1975 – 2009) was a Kansas City, Missouri based Fortean style thinker, blogger, author, and talk show guest. Mac wrote his blog, Posthuman Blues, from 2003 until his death in October, 2009. Fortunately for us all, loving friends and readers of his have worked to save his Internet work. His blog, Posthuman Blues, has been archived, his website, Mac Tonnies, is being supported, and a tribute website, Macbots, has been created. He authored the books After the Martian Apocalypse (2004), where he examines evidence for extraterrestrial intelligence on Mars, and The Cryptoterrestrials: Indigenous Humanoids and the Aliens Among Us (2010), which outlines and explores his theory that UFOs and aliens as we think of them are not from “out there” but right here on this planet. Despite being from Missouri myself (Joplin) and as a former passionate Coast to Coast listener (on which he was a one-time guest), Mac flew under my radar. Not until listening to Joseph Farrell being interviewed on The Richard Dolan Show did I hear mention of Mac Tonnies (by Farrell). According to his website he appeared on multiple talk shows and podcasts, including The Paracast (8 appearances), Room 101, Radio Misterioso, and Coast to Coast AM in September 2009, just before his death the next month. I highly recommend listening to the 2009-11-01 episode of The Paracast, where friends of his gathered together to discuss Mac’s friendly personality and the impact he had on the alternative research community.
