Do you understand the concept of crowd-funding? KickStarter and other sites get together a group of people that are genuinely interested in a certain project and pledge money, but are offered incentives -

I was considering just going full blown into a new thread and making an hard hitting list of facts that Greer fans should read before they sell themselves to his nonsense. But I haven't started a thread (or even publicly posted) in years.
But, like you, I have been very tempted to make such a thread with a cute little title and a heavy handed load of facts and references for all to see.

Oh, and I've got a cute little thread title ready as well. (The Sirius puns are almost impossible to resist!)

I get sex anytime I want with a variety of people.
Also, I should just admit the fact that I am only standing up for Greer because I feel bad for him and because I "get" what he is trying to do and what he is going for.
I did not donate to the documentary and I only just finished watching it yesterday.
I am the kind of guy that will stand up for someone that is being ruthlessly bullied.
I am not a loyal fan in any way shape or form, and probably would never go to a CSETI expedition and have never even tried any of those things he promotes.
I support The Disclosure Project - that is totally different than CSETI.
I think people are totally misunderstanding my position - and that in itself bothers me enough to check in on this thread.
Your arguments about them double-selling the documentary are wrong, based on a lack of knowing what crowd-funding is.
I let you guys know about that.
I don't exactly appreciate huge tirades and Asperger's rants about somebody claims to know everything and that I am just mentally retarded, just because I am trying to be positive and supportive.
That also warrants me coming back to the thread - even if just for a few minutes. The only post I spent any amount of good time and effort on was my IMDB review for Sirius. You people have made up your mind already, as have I - so all arguments are completely and totally and thoroughly FUTILE.
Let us just agree to disagree and go out and get laid, as I am just about to do right now...

...that Greer took 3 million dollars for this CRAP MOVIE MADE ON iMOVIE and then sold it back to the public.
...AND it was no 3-million-dollar project.
Yet...its keystone was a miniature "hoax doll" that has been proven years ago to be earthly and manmade. But yknow...keep the dream alive bro. Nothing wrong with being a joke that get UFO-interested people laughed at.

Well, i have just watched the movie, and while most of
it i knew about already, i still thought it was prstty good.
First, the people saying it should be free. Why should it be
free? You really think that it costs next to nothing to make
a production like this? You think the production team should do
it for free? It always amazes me, peoples logic!

you are saying?

I'm not sure where the $3 million figure is coming from. As far as I'm aware his crowdfunding brought in $300,000+. The documentary had an alleged budget of $250,000.
I agree that the final product doesn't look like it's had that amount of money spent on it.
I'd be interested to see the origin of the $3,000,000 amount.

i just disagree with them saying it something that the world needs to see, yet sticking on a $10 price tag... surely this should be free to view if the world needs to see it
Yes...that's what I am saying. Well that and "those are not real scientists and show no proof of being so", and "they have no peer reviewed science entries I can find" and- "those are not respected practicing 'real' scientists. And even if they were...they never claimed the DNA was unearthly. The way it was carefully worded each time, EACH AND EVERY TIME, was "its not human DNA and we have yet to find it match any known earthly DNA" Not human? A three inch dead thing? No really!? And not proven to be another earthly species? No crap...they didn't test to see if it was. Watch the movie three times and look for how they speak about it. They will say it 100% not human (weeeee!) but then say "we don't think its an earthly species but we are not sure". For God's sake put that company into google and find out they are a bigger scam-circle than Greer himself. Oh wait...you think because they wore white coats and sat in front of computers, that makes them scientists. Trust me...you won't find them anywhere near creditable work or peer reviewed journals...ever. MM
