He writes barely passable science fiction mixed with rehashes of old conspiracy stories, some bogus, some true. Shape shifting is physically impossible. If what he is talking about here is not outright invention on his part (most likely) then, at most, he is describing hallucinations induced by some, probably EM based, mechanism. (See Persinger) But most likely he's just making it up. And for what purpose, besides of course financial gain? (1.) The essence of disinformation is to mix lies in with truth so that the credibility associated with the obvious truth will rub off on the lies. So some of his audience assumes that because some of what he says is true, all of what he says must be true. This is, of course, how stupid people decide what is true or not. But, alas, stupid people abound. (2.) Sci-fi concepts like shape shifting aliens discredits, in the minds of the rest of his audience, the true conspiracy data he mingles with it. It also discredits us, you and me personally, because we take seriously things that are said by a guy who also says other things that are patently absurd. This is not to say that the Queen and her gang are nice people or that the Bushes aren't a crime family. But shape shifting aliens rule the world!?! No way. Identity shifting Aryans, maybe, but isn't that enough? <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
