Hey all...I've been away for a while and coming back I find this quite popular thread. Can anyone give me a summary of the content without me having to go back thru the past 176 pages?
Thanks!

And why has everyone been ignoring the interesting analysis that Bill posted today? I would think that Bill's source may have quite a bit more experience studying the logs of military teams sent on stressful missions than our collective... could these be authentic journal entries? If that idea is so ridiculous, why would this person make such an absurd statement? Why even get involved at all?
Are we dismissing these last two statements too quickly? Are we all so fearful that what we've learned is true that we MUST dismiss it in order to retain our sense of balance in the universe (and by balance, I truly mean superiority).

Why was there such an immense sense of what to me appeared to be jubilation and relief when this was all proclaimed a big hoax yesterday?
Maybe we need to look inward to find out why disclosure has yet to happen. If the main reason why disclosure hasn't happened yet is because the government is fearful of the mass hysteria and panic that would ensure... can ANYONE read through this thread and tell me that based on the immediate, knee-jerk reaction of the majority of posters following new releases from anon that this supposed government "story" isn't borne out to the "T" by the reaction of the people on this forum?
Is the information true? I doubt it, but I'll happily be proven wrong.
Is the concept that people couldn't handle the truth wrong? Doesn't look that way to me.

Years ago the psychologist Leon Festinger of "cognitive dissonance" fame, was asked to write scenarios as to how various segments of the population would respond to news of ET contact. It's all covered in the book by Bob Emenneger, "UFOs, Past, Present and Future." Much space must be left for people to disbelieve if they can't handle it.
Bill...this post has me confused a bit. Initially, you seem to be responding to another post, but I can't figure out whose it was. Secondly, If you have time, could you comment on why, exactly, you feel "space must be left for people to disbelieve if they can't handle it"?
I personally feel that this is a critical facet of the Serpo story and that it may indeed have far-reaching ramifications to 'disclosure'.

The person who sent me this was essentially saying that the USG psychologists may have recommended that rather than upset quite a few people with the hammerhead of undeniable proof (while delighting the rest of us!), it would be easier on the population as a whole to offer something more nebulous and open to personal interpretation.
This would be so that those who really HAD to disbelieve it (because, e.g., otherwise their religious faith might be lost) could deny it and not have to deal with it unless it was in their own time and in their own way.
I think this might be a hugely important point to debate. Question for all:
If you were personally in charge of disclosure, how would you do it without destabilizing tens if not hundreds of millions of people – and also the world's economy?
Best, Bill

The reason these posts have been dismissed, is because there is no proof of the validity of these statements. As far as we know he could have made them up. Its like me walking in and claiming my dad is a Ebe's lovechild, would you believe that? ... probably not.....so why would Bills statement be taken as Gospel?

Bill,
That's a topic for a new thread. This thread is about the evidence of serpo
itself. Any issues of disclosure be it opinions or debate requires a new topic.
Thanks/

We are also considering your suggestion of releasing 100 key pages (out of the 3,000) to you and then your forwarding them around the country to the six key individuals you named in your e-mail: Dr ____ ____ , Dr ____ ____ , ____ ____ , ____ ____ , ____ ____ and ____ ____.
Has there been any followup to this?
