<span class="SFPTagline"> From SCIFIPEDIA </span>

Kenn Thomas is a writer, university library archivist, and editor & publisher of Steamshovel Press, a parapolitical conspiracy magazine with science fiction overtones. He has written books on the high-tech Inslaw/PROMIS supersoftware scandal; co-authored The Octopus, about a transnational cyber-cabal with the late Jim Keith; and on Fred Crisman and the Maury Island Incident, a UFO case that later had Crisman subpoenaed as part on the JFK assassination.

Thomas has authored over a dozen books on various conspiracy, mind control, and sci-fi nightmare 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 2005, 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. 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."
