What do people think who come to this site and listen to ATS MIX? They are making jokes about everything, including the people they are trying to interview. They remind me of the "Morning Zoo" morning radio shows of the 70s. What are jokers like that doing on a supposedly serious web site? Maybe they could make some funny songs about the war in Iraq? Like: "I'm going to Iraq and I'm never coming back."

I have to admit to a totally irrational dislike of this kind of psuedo-spiritual-wannabe-proto-religious clap trap. Few things wind me up, unfortunately this kind of wool-pulling is one of them. They are ruining the study of UFOs. In my opinion, this kind of society, and its accompanying preachy hokum, are the first kind that is pointed out when anyone wants to "prove" that all those even remotely interested in UFOs are just plain nuts.
When there are several, serious minded, grounded, investigative organisations available on the internet, why for goodness's sake, would anyone be drawn in by this bunch of desperate attention seekers?
Rhetorical question, really; all these channelling groups supply is a focus for people who have deep seated needs, either religious or societal, that they cannot fulfill in the real world. This organisation is acting as a religion; members feel safe spreading the "message" because it fits their own paradigms, absorb every new "channeled" prophecy as a given truth because of the alleged extraterrestial sources, all without having to worry about the lack of any real proof of the veracity of their supposed alien contacts because the channelers are looked upon as chosen ones.
So if these people are actually recieving messages from advanced/higher/spiritual beings, where are their real clinchers? The sort of message or information that would grab the world's attention, be provable and workable, thus assuring that everyone will listen to them in the future? Anything will do; the methodology needed to build clean, free energy generators; the pointer towards how we might find the cure for as yet incurable diseases; the mechanics of antigravity?
No, all we get are hazy predictions and get-out clauses.
And the mention of "Galactic Command"? Please don't tell me they're affiliated, or even a split-off group from the Ashtar Galactic Command? Oh, for pete's sake...

Well, there is always that possibility.
However, when dealing with possible ET communication, who can say, with absolute conviction, how contact will actually manifest? Not me for one.
But, assuming that we are dealing with species whose culture is at least grounded in some kind of recognisable logic, then we should also assume that any alien society worth their salt will have done some basic research regarding how we approach new, and untried prophets. If this "Galactic Command" are actually channelling ET, then God help us all, as they are exhibiting abysmally bad choices in regard to their representitives.
And here's a prophecy of my own: maryjenkins will not reply to this post anymore; this will either be through sheer frustration at the level of negative replies, or she has no arguement to counter the objections contained in our replies.
I know which option I will put my money on...
