So, OP, next time you write a song, produce a video or do anything else that takes mental ability, time and effort, we can expect you to post it for free on the internet and make it available to anyone, anywhere including sites that also post porn, etc?
And you won't mind your intellectual property being used by other people to make money, and cheating you out of your due?
Good to know. Get cracking and make something of value. We'll be all over it...
And by the way, the evening's 'extra' lectures were well worth the four bucks. Lots of stuff I'd never heard before, especially the Richard Dolan talk, I believe it was Tuesday night.

So while I understand it's tempting to lump the lot of them together. There are credible cases with real field data that deserve serious study. Painting them all with the same brush eliminates that possibility.

They disclosed. You've been all discussing it here for some time. For free.
They have a right to enforce their copyrights. You can bitch and moan about it, but it's their choice and right.
They have a right to turn this into a money making venture and disclose more.
What went wrong? Who was killed? Who's the murderer?
If you think about it, there's no crime here, just personal, non-universal moral sensibilities and egos being hurt. Tha'ts all.

The Christic Institute was a public interest law firm founded in 1980 by Daniel Sheehan, his wife, Sara Nelson and their partner, William J. Davis, who was a Jesuit priest. Its headquarters were based in Washington, D.C. with several offices in other major United States cities, such as San Francisco, California. The Institute received some of its funding from the New World Foundation.
The institute first gained national prominence in a successful lawsuit against the Kerr-McGee Nuclear Power Company, representing Karen Silkwood, a battle that was later made into the motion picture, Silkwood. The firm also won a civil verdict against members of the Ku Klux Klan, the American Nazi Party, and the Greensboro, North Carolina Police Department for the 1979 murder of five anti-Klan demonstrators.
The law firm's most high-profile case was Avirgan v. Hull, filed on behalf of journalists Tony Avirgan and Martha Honey against more than two dozen individuals, some of whom were to emerge as figures in the Iran-Contra scandals. Avirgan was present at the La Penca bombing of a press conference being held by Nicaraguan Contra leader Edén Pastora. Three journalists were killed and Pastora and Avirgan were among the wounded. In 1985, Avirgan and Honey charged a reputed CIA contract employee, John Floyd Hull, of being involved in the La Penca bombing. Hull unsuccessfully sued the reporters for defamation, who had retained the Institute's Sheehan as counsel. Shortly afterward, Sheehan and the Institute brought a massive Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) suit, charging that the La Penca bombing was a result of a conspiracy carried out by a "secret team" that had operated since the 1950s outside the control of government oversight.

But no one has been discussing the content of the show, just the ethics of the event. The debate is about the morality of the organisers.

It's a diversion tactic created by an atheist skeptic
with what seems like an agenda at debunking anyone associated with the so-called "disclosure" and/or New Age movement.
Why didn't you say anything about the fact that Daniel Sheehan is actually an attorney who graduated from Harvard and was instrumental in releasing the Pentagon Papers, was involved in exposing the Iran Contra conspiracy as well as the Karen Silkwood case?

For the record, the necklace being worn by Daniel Sheehan IS NOT MADE BY DAVID SEREDA. They are not even the same design, not even close. Daniel Sheehan is wearing a necklace. Besides, the picture you showed is way too small and blurry to even tell, but if you have absolute proof that it is Sereda's show it. It has nothing to do with remote viewing or any of the other things you mentioned. You just made a move to try to suggest that it absolutely was, as an empirical fact, made by David Sereda and cost $400. Where is your proof?
Whether or not Sheehan and Sereda meditate and are interested in Eastern mysticism or expanded consciousness is totally irrelevant.

Either way, you are totally wrong, you made it up, you embellished it and purposely went out of your way to make it sound ridiculous and like a scam.
At Light Stream Technologies, we not only design quantum jewelry to these shapes, we charge them with the forces of the zero point field or God energy. When you wear these pieces, you are allowing the zero point energy to move through your body and mind in the designs of the creative forces of the universe.
The idea of wearing the L.S.T. pendants is to improve your subtle energy levels for theoretically better thinking, faster action, better balance, and ultimately improved mental powers. These powers can go all the way to broadcasting a more powerful signal to apply to your own insights into the laws of attraction. You may find people get your telepathic messages more clearly and you may also receive them more clearly.

Hypocrite much? Clearly ATS is the hub for people like you and I do not appreciate what you are doing. What you just did there should be considered a violation, but instead I got silenced for explaining to you exactly what you are.

If its real evidence, he should make it available on the internet. Upload it and let anyone have access to it, this way people with the correct training will get their chance at it.
The fact that he is withholding till he finds someone with the "right training" is very suspicious and not acceptable in the internet age.

it would be nice to see it digitized. However a man of his years is probably unfamiliar with the process to do so. I'll shoot over an email to PRG to see if they can figure out how to help secure the data.

The printouts are from the 80s. I am not sure if you listened to the whole session, but if you had you would have heard that the originals were given to Reagan's scientific study team. Callahan has a physical copy. It's not digital. In its current state only one person can have it in their possession at a time. He is not withholding anything.
As far as I am aware only 377 pages were made available from the FAA FOIA/press pack. There may be restrictions on the material Callahan has in his possession (e.g. the FAA report, VHS tape, audio cassette, and radar printouts). If there aren't, though, for posterity, it would be nice to see it digitized. However a man of his years is probably unfamiliar with the process to do so.

I applaude the effort you make.
Now, back to the problem: what IS proof?
There is no excuse to not make it available.
It is much more convenient to just say you have something, than to actually show what you have...

If so, it may prove to be difficult to adequately determine if the paper, ink etc. are indeed authentic..
1. However, subjective-objective proof ... will not convince me unless either I had the same (type of) experience. ...
2. Even if 1000 people all saw it, but it can't be reproduced (never happens again) it's uncertain in the eyes of scientists ...
3.And authorities - well, I am aware of the concept, but fail to believe anybody because he wears a nice uniform or hat, holds some position

- The idea of "subjective-objectivity" is personal proof. It's not meant to convince anyone else. Personally encountering something doesn't require anyone else to tell you that your eyes are working.
Even if something isn't repeatable (take for example SCP 06F6) it's still considered real so long as we gather the data through a trusted channel.
Academicians operate on the principle that those who have published in the past have done so honestly. So we treat historical peer-reviewed articles as being trustworthy despite knowing there are (and continue to be) cases of scientific misconduct, fraud, and malfeasance.
If other scientists don't know the difference? How should the public? So it's a bit amusing when a layman from the public trumpets a peer-reviewed paper as though it were manna from god. This is "appeal to authority" plain and simple.
Similarly, if the President of the United States released a joint message through NASA confirming the existence of life visiting our planet. The majority of people on earth would accept the statement as factual, even without evidence, simply because it has the imprimatur of authority.

Well, maybe we should create a shortlist of what would be considered proof by the public - and what would be considered proof by scientists.
