John Lear wrote this on another forum in 2004:
I was wrong.
I was wrong.
I just realized that I was spending far too little time with my family, especially my grandson pursuing subjects of fruitless and pointless
speculation. I feel that for too long I have been mislead about the subject of UFO's and aliens which I now know do not exist in any form other than
wild imagination. This will be my last post here on the FF on UFO's or any related subject and my good friends will not email, pm, bother me or
speculate on this matter because the truth is I was wrong and open speculation will only cause me further embarrassment.
John Lear
This sounds sincere and honest to me unlike what I’ve been reading here on ATS.
Will the real John Lear please stand up?

I'm pretty sure somebody already tried to exploit this information on another ATS thread...can't remember where, and I'm scetchy on the details. I
simply recall that the situation was explained to my satisfaction. Perhaps a moderator can locate the link.
No rest for the weary...John, and no good deed goes unpunished
Peace &
Good Fortune

Well, I'm not a moderator...
but here's the link : John Lear's final post, from fantasticforum.com
More to the point, here is John's answer :
originally posted by johnlear
This post was the result of (hopefully) unjustified paranoia. It was an apology to those I suspected of causing harm to a member of my family. I had
just started posting on ATS (about 2 years ago) and was posting much of the material I am posting now. I believe those threads are still there. There
was a real big ruckus. At the very height of all this one of my children was involved in a very serious car accident, she was intentionally sideswiped
on a freeway. I felt at the time that the posts and the accident were related. My daughter recovered and has since moved up to the mine with her
husband. I didn't post anything for a year on either fantasticforum or ATS. About a year after the incident Art Bell called and literally begged me
to do a show. I had accumulated so much new information I wanted to share I agreed to do that show.

Exploit? Interesting choice of words.

Give John Lear the space to cover himself. He is posting very non anonymously and has his credit and reputation on the line. We live in a society
where what people think of you >does matter.
Shouting from the mountain tops about your beliefs doesn't prove or disprove anything. Proof proves things, and I've seen mine.
I wouldn't let his denunciation of the UFO/alien thing be of any worth to you. He's just a man with stories.
Gain enough knowledge to be your own leader, not a follower guided by hope.

Thanks.  How did you find that?
So in other words now he believes nothing he says here could possibly piss anybody off enough to harm him or his family?

At least there was an explanation provided, however, raises some interesting dilemmas about this line of work/investigation.
It is easy to see how people become paranoid about certain things.

Man I'd post anything if I thought my family was at risk because of stuff I had posted on forums. It doesn't matter how much of a tough guy you
think you might be, people will find ways to make you scared. Intimidation is ancient, it won't go away no matter how politically correct you are. I
see in Johns signature states the word opinion. MIB would change my opinion until my family was safe. Read what John writes as somebody the same as
you expressing an OPINION.
Nobody has said John has all the answers. He could even be the antichrist. You know those things the ancients had called books? They used to use them
to reference stuff and surprisingly sometimes for leisure. We'll you're doing the modern day equivalent of reading a book but you can participate.
Please respect the other readers. Post a disagreement to the info or commentary in a polite manor and you may be surprised at the answer. Maybe read
more untill you get Johns dry sense of humour.

he probably posted this to give the impression that somebody was trying to silence him.
Really sad if you ask me.
In the entire history of Ufology and alien research there is not one piece of credible proof , why does anybody need to be silenced.

Now i was warned for making the post on the page underneath this text. And it was a fair warning as i broke some of the forum rules.
www.abovetopsecret.com...
But my reply was made due the fact i was disgusted with Mr Lear's post. Now all i can say is should a so called mentally adept human talk such
nonsense ? Furthermore i ask you should or would Mr Lear in this case be making such whimsy laxadaisy post's ? It totally dis-credits anything he
says in my personal opinion.
Regard's
Lee

That's an excellent point.
There is no concrete evidence or smoking gun in the UFO research and truth-seeker community. Some might claim that IS due in part to the governments
excellent disinfo and intimidation campaign that squashes anything credible that seems to point to UFO's and alien life but even still....there's
just nothing.
I DO believe that people have been silenced and intimidated into seclusion by certain elements of the government (whether it be UFO related or
otherwise, it's been done), but thats the nature of the game. There will always be governments with big secrets and the little people that find out
about them.

 People die young because they are wasting oxygen with no discernable progress in spiritual awareness.

That sentence just about sums it all up
But what do you expect from somebody believing that a holographic projecter was responsible for 9/11.

As long as people keep paying attention to him and as long as whatever $$ there is out there keeps rolling in John will be there to tell people what
they want to hear.

Where is it said John wont be posting here anymore?
Just curious.
With so many far out idea's call it disinformation, how are we ment to ever know the truth?
Its like religion someones got it wrong, they cant be all right.
So many times you hear a story from someone, and there is usually a book to go with it, the truth should be free.
But to johns credit he doesn't promote a book or any money making scheme regarding UFO's.
My opinion of John, hes a nice enough guy, but i feel he is misinformed.
Ironically this site is about denying ignorance, so the choice is yours whether to believe him or not.
