I am curious what you purchased and what you thought of it. I haven't read any of his books, but I have heard a number of his interviews. I can
imagine that some of it is very bizarre.
Well, the only book that I am upset about is his latest book, "Hidden Truth, Forbidden Knowledge" His previous books were compilations of credible
eye-witness testimony. They were credible because they were believable accounts by professionals. The whole purpose of his earlier books was
credibility. That is obvious because he could have interviewed a whole slew of people with much more shocking stories *ala Sleeper*, but he chose to
interview military professionals. He was purposely going for credibility, not shock value or fantastical stories, and he did this in a
professional/documented manner.
Then came his major push for congressional hearings in 2001. This is what his life's work was leading up to and was the best chance that anyone on
the planet has ever had for full disclosure. He gave it his best and the congressional hearings never occured. The attacks on the WTC happened
shortly after his conference and basically whatever interest he sparked in the house/congress was shuffled to the bottom of the deck. Greer even goes
as far as suggesting that 911 was a direct result of the Disclosure Project (purpotrated by the US government).
My theory as to what happened next:
Greer had to be distraught. All the hard work that he and others had done, all the eye witnesses that had gone out on a limb, all the military and
political contacts he had made.......all went for naught. I believe he then went off the deep end.
The book he wrote after that, "Hidden Truth, Forbidden Knowledge" was like a total 180deg turn from what he was doing before. He stopped going
about his work in a scientific manner and started telling fantastical stories. He talked of his contacts in government/politics/and eye-witness
accounts, but also of his personal theories. He spoke of a lot of new-age spirituality. He spoke of his personal connections to the aliens, and how
he contacts them through meditation. He claims he can summon aliens to appear at will. He speaks of being able to levitate. He speaks of the
attacks on his life by black ops which included them giving him, his dog, and his best friend cancer, and also talks of having out of body experiences
that allowed him to travel to his attackers and stop them. He has yet to prove any of these extrordinary claims.
Basically he hung everyone out to dry. Everyone that risked their professional credibility whether it be military or political.... he took all the
faith they put in him and he poo'd all over it.
All for what? What did he accomplish by printing this book, "Hidden Truth, Forbidden Knowledge" ? Even if (and I say this with the highest degree
of scepticism), even if everything in that book is 100% fact.... what are you doing for your cause by printing this without a freaking kernal of
proof????
He has done nothing but alienate (no pun intended) everyone that put their trust in him, and that is why I believe the Disclosure Project is toast.
No way can it recover from that. Their website is now dead basically, and probably will never be updated again. It is a place to advertise his new
book and a graveyard for the credible eye-witness testimony.
He seems to focus on CSETI now, and makes his living off giving believers a tour to see lights in the sky. Steven Greer is currently nothing more
than a Prophet Yahweh and has devolved into a man showing suckers some distant objects in the sky at the location of his choosing.
Just as someone stated earlier in this thread........Dr. Greer and the Disclore Project is symonymous with wasted opportunity.
