The wave of negativity is becoming pretty overwhelming on social media and within ufology due to his constant hype and posting of nonsense.

I doubt you'd easily dismiss the rest of DeLonge's team.
Being impressed with Geller wouldn't have been such a shocker if Puthoff was behaving more like a critically thinking scientist, trying to critically evaluate Geller's feats, and less like a charlatan's mark, accepting them without adequate skeptical investigation.

Found it on the Web Archive.
Puthoff was impressed by Uri Geller?
goo.gl...
Either Geller could not or would not perform under close scrutiny, or when he did seem to get results, there was little credible examination. “Targ and Puthoff, from the way I have encountered them by day in their laboratory, seem to emerge as bumbling idiots rather than as respected, accomplished physicists,” Hyman wrote. He believed Geller’s work had all the classic hallmarks of a trained magician: befriend, distract, and dazzle.
Sure it can, is Vallee a magician? No, so what does he know about performing magic?

For what it's worth, seems I read Jacque Valee thinks Gellar was the real deal. I have my doubts, but IMO Valees opinion can't be dismissed out of hand
Lawrence invited two other scientists to accompany him: Ray Hyman, an amateur magician and university psychologist, and Robert Van de Castle, a professor of sleep studies who believed in psychic premonitions, including his own...
Geller began his repertoire by demonstrating his ability to mind-read numbers. The Israeli performer dramatically covered his eyes with his hand and had Lawrence write down a number on a piece of paper. Hyman, sitting to the side, later recalled that he could clearly see that Geller was peeking, watching the motion of Lawrence’s hand.

From history I gathered together 14 men who I refer to as magicians. They were CIA and their job over the last 70 years was to get the story out via five men that I refer to as the Messiahs. These Messiahs included researchers such as Bill Moore, Steven Greer, and Tom Delonge, who each saw themselves as the person picked to bring disclosure to the American public.
My conclusion is there is no plan to fully disclose, no matter how loud the demands inside the UFO community are. The plan is to continue to drop stories till people are so acclimatized that when full disclosure does happen by those in power, it will surprise no one.

Long story short, what is this guy getting at? I honestly can't tell. He was all over the place.

Tom De Longe is being played by the intelligence community of the United States as Bill Moore was before him in the 1980s and then Stephen Greer in the early 2000s.
As Grant summarized on his website:

On the Rogan podcast he stops himself from saying things, with the comment that he's speaking for more than himself now. Maybe you feel he doesn't do that enough?
No. I am wondering why his team, which is made up of men who have had exceptional careers and positions within parts of the intelligence community, and military industrial complex, allows him to promote stories and photos and videos which are hoaxes.
