SUBJECT: COMPARISION BETWEEN LEAR & ANDREWS TEST FILE: UFO1861
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
******************************************************************************** The following is not a full or complete description of
|
|
my own personal thoughts on the content of LEAR.TXT, but rather it addresses an aspect concerning the source of some of his material from w
|
|
hich he compiled LEAR.TXT. My full thoughts on the content itself will come later in a separate file. In addition I hope this file will
|
|
also serve as an aid to understanding why yours truly erroneously implied certain things about how John Lear acquired some of his source in
|
|
formation. First, let me list the offending parts of the statements as made on both ParaNet.Alpha and Lambda by myself in the preceding
|
|
days. (1) On Lambda, I had said that "...quite a substantial number of references in LEAR.TXT seem to be practically lifted verbatim fr
|
|
om the pages of George C. Andrews the "Extra-Terrestrials Among Us." (2) In reference to the now once again famous Giordiano Bruno, on
|
|
Alpha I said that John Lear's reference to him in his LEAR.TXT was almost "...repeated verbatim in the opening chapters of the boo
|
|
k." (referring to Andrews' book). (3) And again on Alpha, I stated that John Lear seemed to have "...heavily relied on this particul
|
|
ar UFO book for a good chunk of LEAR.TXT". In all three instances I goofed. And in retrospect I can see why John Lear would find them in
|
|
sulting and offensive. For that I must apologize, these particular portions of my statements were ill-thought out and not based on fact, but
|
|
as I hope to show, not without foundation. While reading LEAR.TXT, and some of John Lear's clarifying messages soon after, I experience
|
|
d a sense of deja-vous concerning some of the content I had heard discussed. In particular, the references to both Giordiano Bruno (whom I m
|
|
ust say I had not heard about as a historical figure of import, though Galileo does come to mind...), and JANAP-146, had set off "bells" rin
|
|
ging, which regretfully, subsequently seems to have impaired my judgement. They had reminded me of the Andrews' book, of which I had read ce
|
|
rtain sections, with both Bruno and JANAP being mentioned. Hence, without referral back to the book in question, I proceeded to fire off a
|
|
number of observations concerning LEAR.TXT and some of its "source" material. With hindsight, this was not a prudent thing to do. It was pla
|
|
in stupid, and for that I take responsibility. It was never my aim to cast dispersions on John Lear's character by implying that he somehow
|
|
plagiarized his hypothesis primarily from one source, a mediocre UFO book at that. In addition, by my implying such, I further denigrated hi
|
|
s own personal efforts concerning some of the research he has done on aspects of the UFO phenomenom, in his attempt to bring about some clar
|
|
ity to an already overly confused issue. However, in an attempt to show that my own comments are not totally without foundation, and consequ
|
|
ently were not intentionally of a malicious nature, I have outlined below, some of the similarities which I found between the two writings,
|
|
and which in part were the basis of my inappropriate accusations. As I've mentioned elsewhere, it should of course not be surprising tha
|
|
t there are similarities to begin with, since much of the information on and about UFO related matters is disseminated quite widely among th
|
|
ose organizations and groups that are involved. Indeed, as John Lear would no doubt point out, many of the Andrews' book references which
|
|
I use, are in fact references to other source material as done by other organizations, researchers and authors. In particular, the "mutilati
|
|
ons" excerpts, as I'm sure John would agree is the case with LEAR.TXT too, are courtesy of the work done by Project Stigma. Having said
|
|
all this, and in the hopes of advancing the debate on LEAR.TXT forward, I think it would be helpful if John clarified a few points concernin
|
|
g it, leaving aside for the moment the question whether some or all of the content is true or not. For instance, how much of LEAR.TXT do you
|
|
consider to be the result of "original" research or inquiry? Regarding the particular scenario which was laid out in LEAR.TXT, do you consi
|
|
der that to be something new?, in that those who are involved in the active research and study of UFOs would generally be unaware of it (bef
|
|
ore you had "released" it of course). And without naming names, how many independent "contacts" would you say you have who are supplying you
|
|
with firsthand-type knowledge, not just second hand information which has made the rounds? These, are just a few more of the many questions
|
|
which you, like it or not, have some responsibility now towards answering. Surely you saw the barrage of questions coming, and I know you'v
|
|
e shown an effort to answer most of them, yet there are still a lot of questions which need answers. I know that you can't, or are unable to
|
|
answer them all, but perhaps a LEAR2.TXT is in order. How about it? Just remember John, no one's out to hang anybody, we're all here h
|
|
opefully to find a little more truth about the subject, occasionally if I or someone else gets out of line, there'll be yourself and others
|
|
to point that out. As in this case, I admit I was wrong; and am sorry for it, however let us continue the dialogue in the hope that we can
|
|
all benefit from each other's views and experiences so that we can get a little closer to the answers we desire.

|
|
st truth stated here got Giordano Bruno burned at the stake in AD 1600 for daring to propose that it was real." E.Ts-"...
|
|
Dr. McDonald's courageous statements had provoked a torrent of derision and abuse, and he was being ostentatiously ostracize
|
|
d by his colleagues (in the tradition of Giordano Bruno, Paraclesus, Galileo, Wilhelm Reich, and a few other rare immortals)
|
|
. - [pp. 152-153]#2: LEAR-"In order to sustain themselves they use an enzyme or hormonal secretion obtained from the tissue that the
|
|
y extract from humans and animals." E.Ts-"...that 95% of the mutilations were the work of extra- terrestrials, who need l
|
|
arge amounts of biological tissue for immunisation procedures," - [p. 172]#3: LEAR-"In the event of a national disaster, cow's blood
|
|
can be used by humans." E.Ts-"What is of possible relevance here is that the bovine hemoglobin molecule so closely resem
|
|
bles the human hemoglobin molecule that it is possible to substitute specially filtered cattle blood for human blood in
|
|
transfusions. - [p. 204]#4: LEAR-"In some cases the incisions were between the cells, a process we are not yet capable of perfor
|
|
ming in the field." E.Ts-"Not one single cell had been destroyed. The incision was made between the cells, cell by cell. Not one
|
|
single cell was even damaged." - [p.185]#5: LEAR-"The multilations included genitals taken, rectums cored out to the colon,
|
|
eyes, tongue, and throat all surgically removed with extreme precision." E.Ts-"Typically, only reproductive and digestive organs
|
|
that we consider inedible are taken," - [p. 161]#6: LEAR-"In many of the mutilations there was no blood found at all in the
|
|
carcass, yet there was no vascular collapse of the internal organs. E.Ts-"Another peculiarity about the mutilations is the way ma
|
|
ny carcasses have been drained of every single drop of blood in seemingly impossible fashion, as normally the veins
|
|
would collapse before all the blood was taken." - [p.203]#7: LEAR-"Witnesses have reported huge vats filled with amber liquid with p
|
|
arts of human bodies being stirred inside." E.Ts-"She saw a vat containing unidentified body parts floating in a liquid, and anot
|
|
her vat containing the body of a male human." - [p. 199]-In addition, I believe that John Lear also made mention of at least two oth
|
|
er subjects while conversing with other ParaNet members via the Alpha message base. It was concerning CAT-scan detection of the 3mm implants
|
|
, and with the military service regulation known as JANAP-146. I have supplied two additional references from "Extra-Terrestrials Among Us"
|
|
which elaborate on them.(A) "Small metallic objects were implanted into both her body and her son's body. ... Examinations using the CAT-
|
|
scan confirmed the existence of the implants." - [p.199](B) "...but other witnesses insist upon remaining anonymous because of the lit
|
|
tle-known U.S. service regulation JANAP-146, which provides a penalty of up to ten years imprisonment and $10,000 fine for anyone in g
|
|
overnment service who makes an unauthorized public statement about UFO phenomena." - [p. 8]**********************************************
