What Greer did at his May 2001 event at the NPC was to display a blatantly fake UFO image, an image tht has been known to be a fake for 34 years, having been investigated by the Colorado project as "Case 7" (www.ncas.org/condon).

He didn't do so, which indicates either (1) that he's perfectly well aware that the image is a fake, and cynically believes that the audience he appeals to is made up of gullible fools who can be taken in by fabricated evidence, or (2) that he himself is massively under-informed on the issue he claims to be an expert on, and also knows absolutely nothing about how to vet a witness before that witness appears in a high-profile public forum.

You don't get to be influential in this town, on those issues, with those movers and shakers, by putting on a clownish display featuring fabricated evidence, even if the clownisheness involves only a single piece of evidence (which it didn't).

I paid the $6.95 for the subscription to listen to the
show and there was nothing in there that could
constitute proof of anything. He was claiming to be
airing his story to protect the inventor from being
killed or "disappeared" by fossil fuels interests in
the government, but he did not mention the inventor's
name or how the device operates, so I don't see how it
protects anything from such a conspiracy. The way to
prevent the inventor's untimel demise would be to have
the inventor bring his device to CNN and demo it
openly and honestly, not air it on a late-nite
conspiracy radio program.

Greer also claimed that he will have the device
publicly tested and available in 2-3 months and
specifically mentioned in early April. So if April
comes and goes and greer claims that it was
"suppressed" or something else, you can dismiss it as
more quackery from the guy who claims to be in psychic
contact with aliens and leads expeditions into the
mountains ( http://www.cseti.org ) for exactly that
purpose.

Highly dubious, but I'll wait until April before I
give my final verdict ;-) I'll be the first in line to
buy one if it's true.

He has made this same statment about 6 times before and later
retracked each and everyone saying: "Oh it turned out to be
nothing".  Greer has no idea what a free energy device is, looks
like, or how to evaluate it.

You need to pay closer attention.  He has said many things that were
in error.  He is very good at keeping your eye OFF the ball.  In fact
he is the king of overstatement.   Whatever Greer says you can apply
a correction factor of zero.

>> This is very timely. Take it for what it is worth.
 
It's not worth anything.  I talked to his "VP of Projects" in the
past and they have no idea what they are doing.  They have no
scientists or engineers involved that have experience in any of the
subject matter.

I pressed them on exactly what projects they have that show even the
slightest serious prospects - they have none.  They are on a fishing
expedition to try and find one.  They have nothing.

Greer is clueless about what he is BSing about. He has no understanding

There we go - the not so hidden political agenda! This is obvious

This is pure hype. Bearden's stuff has been discredited in Scientific
American. Joe Firmage, against my strong advice, bought into a lot of
this nonsense as I describe in my books at <http://www.1stbooks.com>.

An observation about most free energy design claims: No names, No peer published papers, No address,  No patent filings, No professional references, No track record, No independent testing, No real contacts.

The following statement is from Jim Giglio:


==============================================================

On May 9, 2001, Greer's "Disclosure" efforts came to fruition in a CSETI-sponsored show put on at the National Press Club. Some twenty alleged "insiders" came forward and told their stories; it was a pathetic farce. For the most part, these "witnesses" were retired low-level military personnel who provided accounts of their own personal UFO sightings while in the service.

But there was one witness who caught my attention and held it.  This was a fellow named Mark McCandlish. He started by claiming that he had once seen vehicles, equipped with reverse-engineered UFO antigravity capability, levitating off the floor of an airplane hangar while an air show was going on outside (Somehow this story was supposed to make sense). He then proceeded to display a photograph of a UFO supposedly taken more than 30 years ago by an Air Force pilot from the cockpit of a C-47 in the vicinity of Provo, Utah.

I was dumbfounded when I saw this image; it's a proven fake, and has been known to be a fake for 34 years.  The image was investigated by the Colorado project as "Case 7" in the final report. For some reason, the image itself was not included in  that report. But in 1995 the lead investigator on the case, Roy Craig, published a black-and-white print of the image in his memoir of his time on the project. I contacted Dr. Craig by e-mail about three years ago, and was able to obtain a copy of the original color slide. I scanned the image, and it can be seen at this temporary URL:
www.polaris.umuc.edu/~jgiglio2/major-y

The testimony of McCandlish, fully supported by Greer, is simply  ludicrous. I repeat; the image he displayed is a fake and has been known to be a fake for 34 years. Yet Greer claims, based on this kind of silliness, to be embarked on a mission to influence U.S. space and energy policy, as well as international diplomacy, at the highest levels. Now perhaps Greer has evidence that the image in question is NOT a fake; if so, the time to have
presented that evidence was on May 9th 2001 at the "Disclosure"  event, while McCandlish was waving the thing around in front of the cameras.

He didn't do so, which indicates either (1) that he's perfectly well aware that the image is a fake, and cynically believes that the audience he appeals to is made up of gullible fools who can be taken in by fabricated evidence, or (2) that he himself is massively under-informed on the issue he claims to be an expert on, and also knows absolutely nothing about how to vet a witness before that witness appears in a high-profile public forum.

Of course he might blame this blooper on poor staff work, but that's not much of an excuse. Greer brags endlessly about how his associates and consultants represent the highest levels of the intelligence and aerospace and scientific communities and how they come from deep inside the "black project" world. If those guys are actually to blame, then just how well-qualified are they? And wasn't Greer responsible for selecting them in the first place?

This is D.C., the most powerful city in the world, and Greer claims to working to influence the powers-that-be in this center of power, on the most important issues facing humanity. You don't get to be influential in this town, on those issues, with those movers and shakers, by putting on a clownish display featuring fabricated evidence, even if the clownisheness involves only a single piece of evidence (which it didn't).

BTW: Greer would probably claim, in response to the fact that the Colorado project exposed the Case 7 image as a fake, that the entire staff of the project was on the CIA payroll. He said that on the air a few years ago, when I called a local talk show he  was appearing on, as if that would totally discredit all their work. I'd be curious to know what his evidence for that claim might be; not even the most ardent Colorado project critics (at least not the serious ones) would make such a sweeping claim.

I spoke to Greer's crew with a view to possible development work several months ago. My impression was a bunch of vaguely well intentioned folks, who were big on hype, and low on substance. Later I read on Eric's site someone said they were 'in search of an idea,' which was about right.

  One thing I will say, is that the millions dollar offer is nmost definitely FAKE. I can confirm that to you all. They just give a load of b.s. non binding promises. There is no million dollars on offer, as such. It's like Randi's Million dollar challenge. It's just a publicity stunt to get attention.

But more than that, what I disliked, was that they were clearly looking for an inventor who would present the device on a plate, fully formed, in the final stages of development, and then just sign away all his rights to Greer, so that Greer could take all the credit for 'making it happen.'

Honestly, even if you had something that worked, you'd have to be terminally brain damaged to want to work with Greer. Unless Leopards change their spots, which I've not seen happen often in life, I'd advise anyone with a working device to find some decent venture capitalists, rather than going anywhere near Greer's comedy show.

'> Hi Jerry,

All too believable.
