Well, this guy isn't schizophrenic. He has "deep personal and family connections to both the inner circles of the United States and Russian governments as well as the KGB". He was even asked to run for president at one point, which he declined.
But, I won't try to convince anyone. I just posted it so people can listen and come to their own conclusions.

Honestly, the above theories are so out there, that i can't believe anyone with a capable brain could fall for them.

Some people enjoy 'creative thinking', while the less innovative let TV and movies do their thinking for them.
The popularity of Star Trek and Star Wars can attest to that!
Just because some of us here like to discuss the 'what if' far-out ideas of others doesn't mean we're gullible, stupid, ignorant- or even believe all the things we're discussing.
We are exercising our brain!! We find it fun!! Loosen up, eh? It's okay to let your mind wander down the 'what if' lane. I promise you'll be safe, and who knows? You might even have a little Steven King in you, if you're willing to relax your mind a bit!

No. I think he's a very savvy businessman.
He probably has more money in his pocket than I have in my entire net worth!
We can all dream up these far-fetched scenarios, and if we had the business acumen that they have, we too would be in the forefront, instead of on the fringe.
That doesn't mean that everything he says is invalid. Look at how many things we've seen in sci-fi shows that have come to pass?
There may be truth in some of what he says. My challenge is to figure out what part....and enjoy the mental journey.
the guy is either a schizophrenic, or a conman.

"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." Unfortunately, there isn't much here to support any of this.

As a young child, I saw a show where scientists created a carbon copy of a human....unbelievable stuff!
Decades later, scientists began to think it might be possible; ridiculous!
Shorty thereafter, Dolly made headlines. Made me think they must have been working on cloning for many, many years.
The common folk only seem to learn of new technology after it's been nearly perfected.
If you pay attention, reality seems to follow sci-fi closely, only separated by a few years. No matter how far-fetched and crazy it seems, there just might be a tiny grain of truth hidden amongst the fantasy!

I've known a few schizophrenics in my day, and none have had the lucidity required to build the following that Swerdlow has.
Now, If he had chosen to present what he believes as sci-fi books and movie scripts, he might be sharing the adoration and acclaim of the likes of S.King, Lucas, Hitchcock, Wells, and many, many others.
I find it curious how technology seems to follow sci-fi by 50-75 years, so I enjoy new ideas- and the crazier, the better! Bring it on; give me something REALLY crazy and new to think about!

It's insane how much apparently went missing from the museum from about 2003 until US forces secured the museum apparently 400,000-600,000 pieces were absconded 15,000 alone in the 4 days between the museums evacuation and the arrival of coalition forces. If something of a truly supernatural power was housed there, unless they were completely naive as to its existence as such, it certainly wouldn't have been on display. In my opinion it would have been removed off sit long before the invasion.
I don't know about before the war but the current collection is represented online here

More like man and BEER. Just saying.
