To begin with, charges of plagiarism:
"A Los Angeles Times article reported that Missler and co-author Hal Lindsey had plagiarised a portion of Professor Edwin Yamauchi's 1982 book Foes From the Northern Frontier in their own 1992 book The Magog Factor. Hal Lindsey's manager Paul Krikac said Missler had written the passages in question, but conceded that Lindsey is responsible for the overall manuscript. After the missed attribution was acknowledged by Missler and acknowledged in a letter (
TMI_Letter.PDF), book shipments to bookstores were discontinued and all of the authors' proceeds donated to a ministry.

geostationary satellites. One goal is that Christian Ministries would be able to use the service for free. To date, SWANsat exists largely on paper in development and no satellites have been built or launched. Chuck Missler was on the board in a
technical advisory capacity."

I spoke with the guy when he was at New Zealand. Arrogant and dismissive, especially when I was moving closer to the truth and he perceived others nearby being attentive to me.
If you want to get into his scriptural heresies, we can do that, too.
