Thanks for your suggestions and comments, everyone!

Buckle in for hilarity
I would doubt seriously if he'll even get called on for a question. …maybe with a local meeting it'll be different.
J: Yes, I’ve been following Greer’s “progress” and manifestations for quite some time, now. Like the majority here at ATS, I’ve grown weary
and disappointed in the slow but steady slide away from “Disclosure” – on which we had all pinned such high hopes – to - well, something
else, lots of things, actually; just not the disclosure we thought we were going to get.
Yes, I was in the audience when Greer spoke in San Jose earlier this year. Although this Saturday’s venue is going to be smaller and more
“intimate”, I am looking for a private chat of a few minutes, if possible. I was able to corner Greer in San Jose for this and hope to do so
again this weekend.
7Thunders: I doubt he plans to show any video or artifacts related to disclosure/his personal encounters with aliens as “proof”; One, because he
has refused many requests to do so, and Two, because I don’t think he has any to show. See my comments and those of many others on this specific
issue sprinkled throughout ATS.
Alexander: noted – thanks; I’ll ask him if he doesn’t bring it up during his talk although I’m presuming his agenda will include seas/AERO in
no small measure.

What has been done to record…? Isn't part of Disclosure making these transcripts available and public? When can we expect the Disclosure Project to
disclose what it has available?
As usual, top notch questions, to be sure. This is what I was looking for – thanks for helping phrase what I wanted to ask – though I’m
assuming the “…need help transcribing?” part was meant more tongue-in-cheek than a question expecting an affirmative answer. BTW, Oh yeah - if
he has the stuff (the real McCoy) – I would love to get my hands on a few boxes of it to “help transcribe” it for him. Wouldn't that be a
great way to spend a vacation? The rest of your post is something I will compartmentalize into a single question to ask whether I’m lucky enough to
be called upon in the meeting, or “in the corridor”, if I can maneuver myself into ‘his sphere’… Thanks – good stuff!
Vic: As always, your colorful dialogue leaves me smiling, but a tiny bit puzzled. But thanks, again as always, for contributing – I’ll listen for
the “take it to the bank” frequency. My gue$$ is: Mucho.
NGC: I have a problem, ethically, with concealing a recording device to surreptitiously capture a conversation. Perhaps in the meeting room (though I
lean against doing so there as well), but I just wouldn’t feel comfortable hiding a recorder in my clothes. For one thing I’m a terrible liar and
would probably give myself away. Secondly, I would be overly conscious of it and it will restrict my own free thinking and speech. And finally, if
the damn thing beeped or fell out of my pocket or something I would be petrified and feel quite ashamed. Somehow this goes against my desire for
mutual trust and openness. It’s like finding out after you had a heart-to-heart with someone on the phone and then discovered that they recorded
the conversation and shared it with others. It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth…
Raoul: Thanks, but like I said earlier, I rather think such videos are neither Greer's M.O. nor his forte, if any such videos have been, or ever
will become, available. He may "sell" what he has in condensed form if and when the chips are down sometime in the future.

We would prefer to NOT be associated with or even mentioned in any "formal" sort of way with the "good doctor".
Springer & JohnnyA: No worries. Perhaps you misunderstood. I had no intention of mentioning ATS in any formal sense whatsoever – perhaps
“plug” was a poor choice of words. What I meant was that in milling about the meeting, in casual conversations, in the ‘lounge’, etc., a
conversation with someone new may go like this:
NewGuy: "Wow – that was interesting! I wonder what to make of all the recent UFO/Alien stuff…"
Me: "Yeah – fascinating stuff indeed! The truth is hard to find, though, isn’t it? Have you heard of
AboveTopSecret.com? You should check ‘em out… "
You know -like that. I have similar chats with people I meet all the time - and I mean
all the time – so I hope there is no problem with
that. If so – just say the word, and I’ll zip it
by Landis
…you might tell Greer that it's time to release all the witness statements he claims he has in his possession without benefit of compensation. This
would certainly prove to me that he's not BS'ing us, and it would prove he's not in it for the money.
Landis! Landis!: [Sorry – for a second I just flashed back to the November 5th ATS [Chat] Festival.]. Yes, you are quite correct, of course.
Although not really a question, your comment has the same flavor (neopolitan) as Schuyler and others. “Benefit of Compensation” seems to be a
recurring motive, so if you’re going to tie proof or not of “BS’ing” to this as a qualifier – then I think you have your answer already.

Why not make ask him the 'difficult' questions and see him try to dodge the issues and run for cover? People like Leader Greer need to be pinned to
the wall… Ask him every tough, embarrassing, difficult question that you can think of. Make him squirm.
Hey Tezz: Thanks for your comments. As you know, we have shared similar sentiments in the many Greerite threads on ATS, so I hear where you’re
coming from and certainly respect the conviction of your feelings on this subject. Nevertheless, in my own view, being confrontational and
interrogative would yield less and close doors rather than elicit anything meaningful or useful at this event. Please understand, I agree that the
time has long past for Greer to ‘fess up’ and produce the goods – he does indeed need to be put ‘on the hot seat’ and under some very bright
lights. Only, I’m not the one to do it. For one thing it’s just not my nature. For another, I think in this instance, to serve my purposes, to
take such a position would be highly counterproductive. Making someone squirm is just not my style. I do, however, hope YOU get a chance to meet with
Greer so that YOU can pose such comments and questions to him in this manner. If such an opportunity were to arise – please let me know, I would
pay good money to get a front row seat!
Thanks once again to all posters!
We’ll see how it goes…
