Thanks for the quick reply. I limit my assistance in fund-raising to local organizations as time allows.
You can not blame anyone for being skeptical where these types of organizations are concerned. It has been my experience that the worth of an organization or project is proved by the publics willingness to sit down and write a check. The organization must prove its worth before that can happen. Then and only then will the cash start to flow.
Supporting a project like this would indeed be very expensive. I would think it would be important to include, at no charge, people who could be beneficial to the organization in the activities to build credibility. Especially with an organization who's primary expenses are administrative in nature.
If these sightings are happening in these sessions, it is most unwise to not document them on film or at least to allow the participants to testify as to their authenticity.

From my understanding, they are very careful about what they show.
They don't have any cameramen doing the work, and certainly don't have the money to do it.
They seem protective of their footage, because they don't want it to be abused. They might have got "scammed in the past", but that's just speculation.
I think Steven is pass the point where he cares about footage, that's my opinion.
My question is, would you get more support showing pictures of glowing balls of light, or you would just give more opportunities for the people to complain on the quality of such footage...
ANother important point is that, material gets damaged under these huge electro-magnetic fields, created by the crafts. Sometimes, the brand new batteries go "Dead". I remember, one of the media corp. had between 40000-70000$ worth of damage on their equipment during one event.
As soon as I'm done with my current project, I'll see if I can get a good video and picture packaged together, into another slideshow like the mars anomaly research presentation I made not long ago. That should satisfy some of you.

What Greer is selling you at his convention is called intellectual property, and there are laws against theft of intellectual property. Tock has to sign a non-disclosure agreement because if Tock were to take this knowledge and spread it himself, this would take away from Greer, who created it, discovered it, whatever you want to say. It makes sense for a company and a con-man, but it doesn't make sense for a non-profit organization. You only have a non-disclosure agreement to protect something you created, and Greer created a nice little set of stories. Those christian guys on the television on Sunday mornings are the same thing, and politicians are definitely not too far behind.
If Greer actually had something that can't be explained away with ease, he would only have to release ONE video to youtube, google, anywhere on the internet. The rest would happen naturally, and quite fast. But, if he hasn't got anything of substance, he'll continue to sell his personality as the biggest part of his product.
On the same token, Tock has the right to believe what he wants. But i don't think anyone is arguing with that.

I warned you guys... I am glad he is ignoring me so he can't see my posts - it only gets worse from here - just wait until all of the New Age rationalism floods forth - and it will. I mean, he IS quoting Greer when Tock mentions G7 - even though reality states that it is actually G8
G8 Countries:
Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States.
en.wikipedia.org...
This should clue you in on who you are dealing with: since I corrected him in another thread - he still goes back to saying G7 countries, a misquote from Greer's DP video... where Greer in his infinite wisdom says "A major G-7 Country will have alien contact soon."

The CSETI Non-Disclosure Agreement
The issue has been raised as to why CSETI does not allow people to take photographs/films and makes them sign an NDA.
I can't speak for Greer or CSETI here, I can only speculate. But I would imagine that it actually started as a way for him to PROTECT people - because people running around with too much UFO/ET proof had a tendency to "suddenly commit suicide under mysterious circumstances".

But here’s the deal, when we did this none of us were threatened, none of the military guys, none of the corporate people, none of the intelligence officers, not myself—none of us, not a single one of us got a phone call saying, "Shut up, don't do this"—nothing. So we feel that we have kind of cleared a path for disclosure to happen.

Nope you speculate incorrectly, Greer has no fear of members of the public being murdered. Quoted here:

Hold on.
Tock states that 70,000k worth of camera equipment was destroyed and also says that he will take some footage - though I assume he means personal, outside of the watchful eye of the organised CSETI group.
And yet you state no camera's are allowed ?
Which is it?

Well I am not involved with CSETI so I don't know, but someone else posted something about people not being permitted to bring cameras along.
But if it is true that the ET crafts emit very strong EM fields that can damage equipment like that, and 70K of equipment was ruined one time.... that would explain the "no cameras" rule wouldn't it? ;-)
I believe it, because some of the DP witnesses who were airline pilots and came in very close proximity to the crafts have testified that all their equipment started malfunctioning....

Tock,
I have no interest in that. My plate is full. Probably for the rest of my working life.
As for any advice I would give to kick loose funding? You will not like it. The same full disclosure that is being demanded of the government would be a good start. We lead by example. It would seem this gentleman is following the governments example of secrecy. If the evidence is there it should be released. Otherwise don't expect much in the way of support. People capable of giving support are not going to accept anecdotal accounts as a reason to participate financially. If there is no evidence other than the word of a few individuals who paid for the experience, don't expect people to come running to join in.
Technology has changed dramatically in the last few years. Anyone can now shoot footage in High Definition with a camera that costs under $10,000.00. Since digital cameras are not prone to damage from magnetic devices in the same way as old film cameras I find it odd that they would receive any damage from a magnetic field. The vehicles you use to get to the site would be far more prone to damage from that. Unless you have to walk out every time? I'm hesitant to buy the camera damage story.
