I seem to be pretty good at reviving old threads recently. Anyhow, I just watched Steven Greer and his 21 witnesses press conference from May 2001,
and I found it quite interesting. A few of the witnesses I found difficult to believe, and a few didn't really say much at all, but several made
very interesting cases and came across as extremely plausible. I noted the point (before it was mentioned by Greer near the end) that several of the
witnesses are doctors, lawyers, etc, who have professional obligations not to perpetuate falsehoods, and would be risking their careers and
reputations by doing so. (that doesn't mean they aren't, though, but it does speak in their favour)
I did find it interesting that Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton had made requests to see all the UFO material while president, and they were
rejected
because they didn't have high enough clearance. Who has higher clearance than the president? I didn't think anyone did.
However, upon looking at the disclosure website, I noticed on one of their links this:
www.disclosureproject.org...
Where they list 'blacklight power' as 'one of the answers to our environmental and energy problems'. Blacklight power is a hoax. I looked into
their website when I first came to ATS, and their physics is bogus, and has been debunked on ATS before. Regardless of the motivations of the
Disclosure Project, the fact that they would say this means, at best, that they have poor judgment, and at worst, they are trying to delude people.
There also seems to be too much on their website about donations and buying their merchandise, which makes me a little nervous about their claims.
As I mentioned before, though, many witnesses seemed credible, so I don't know what to think. Was it a well-rehearsed act? Were they telling the
truth? I don't know. Like much of my other reading into conspiracy theories, I find that I am reluctant to believe them. However, again, like many
of the conspiracy theorists out there, while I do not subscribe to their conspiracy theories, I do find that many of the questions they are raising
are quite legitimate and need answers. I just don't buy the answers that most of them are giving.
If nothing else, Greer made me think about a lot of things. So for that, even if every word he said is false, I thank him. He's kindled a desire in
me to learn more about ufos and disclosure, and it's always a good thing to want to learn more.
