But what was particularly disturbing is that von Däniken turned to Nazi-era propaganda to blame the media for suppressing the “truth” about aliens and ancient astronauts, invoking the infamous Nazi slander of the Lügenpresse—the “lying press”—in an attempt to discredit the media: “What I blame is the media: We don’t have a ‘lying press’; what we have is a ‘concealment-by-silence’ press.” Remember, Erich von Däniken is an executive producer of Ancient Aliens, broadcast around the world to an audience of tens of millions, and he made this claim in a newspaper.

I couldn't believe it when I saw Von Daniken would be signing autographs at an upcoming convention.
I remember his death so vividly with headlines in the news that he died. I even remember reading ATS threads about his death.
Does anyone else remember this? This is so strange because it's such a vivid memory.

Oddly enough, I remember hearing about him dying as well. Vividly. I believe there was even a special ancient aliens dedicated to him.

When did this event occur, you reckon? That stupid show hasn't been around all that long.
