Skeptics: “We were wrong, the Billy Meier UFO case is
authentic”
…or:
In the real world, and occasionally in the online virtual world, people have to substantiate
what they say about others, especially if they make claims that attack another person’s
honesty, character, etc. There can be consequences for not doing so and for unjustly
characterizing or accusing them.
For quite some time it’s been acceptable in the wild and wonderful world of UFOs, to
accuse Billy Meier, the man with the most abundant, amazing, credible,
, of somehow hoaxing and faking it all. People who have absolutely no expertise
themselves, absent any qualifications, having conducted no credible testing and analysis,
branded a man as a fraud, cheater, profiteer, etc., without so much as a second thought as
to the rightness of their actions.
Completely neglected by these parties is the question, “What is the criteria that reasonable
people use to determine the truth?”
Among the unreasonable ones are scientists, members of the UFO community/industry
(UFOCI) and skeptics. Skeptics, in case you may be unclear about it, are people for whom
applying the respected standards of science and the scientific method to assess the validity
of
all
claims simply isn’t enough. Apparently threatened by claims of the so-called but non-
existent “paranormal”, they resort to pseudoscientific behaviors to try to make sure that
something so evidence rich, monumentally important (and threatening to their religious
belief systems) as the Meier case is discredited and ridiculed. They are perhaps
unintentionally given support in their marginalization of the UFO topic by the behavior of
the UFOCI, which has the lowest possible standards, is painfully unscientific, relies on
mainly anecdotal reports for evidence, welcomes all sorts of charlatans, liars and poseurs
and provides a home for the fringe element…as well as a very effective environment from
which to spread disinformation by the intelligence communities. Apart from that, the
UFOCI has become a
very
lucrative field for speakers, TV shows, etc., which skirt the real
truth about the cover-up, i.e. that it’s actually all about the Meier case, and contribute to
the entertainment/distraction agenda.
Most (but not all) of the parties listed below have previously gone on record as stating that
the Billy Meier UFO contact case is a hoax and that Billy Meier is everything from a fraud,
hoaxer, profiteer, to a cult leader, etc. They are now listed as admitting they were…
wrong
.
The Process
Since each of these parties had previously accused Meier of hoaxing, I invited them to view
and test Meier’s newest evidence, the independent, professional analyses, conducted using
state-of-the-art technology of Meier’s controversial 35mm
the 8mm “
” film. They were informed that failure to substantiate their
original opinions, as well as failure to rebut the new analyses with credible documentation,
would be an admission that their previous assessments were wrong. Therefore, such
failures would result in their effectively endorsing the case and evidence they once
condemned. Things are real, genuine, authentic and true, or they’re not. And since none of
the parties were ambiguous or undecided on the matter they would either substantiate
their position or effectively change it. Should anyone notify me that they are now
undecided it will be noted but also require explanation on their part.
One of Meier’s defamers, astronomer Stuart Robbins, responded to my challenge not by
substantiating his defamatory statements about Meier but by…threatening to take legal
action against me. So Robbins of course remains high up on the list unless and until he can
substantiate
his
claims
and
rebut the new photographic analyses.
Susan Swiatek, a MUFON* spokesperson (and apparent giant lizard slayer) also warned
me that she’d “invoke and thrust” if I included her among those who wrongly assessed the
evidence in the Meier case and now effectively endorse it. So Sue may want to sue me for
slander or, in her case…salamander.
It’s a plain fact of life that, from time to time,
all
of us are wrong and all of us make
mistakes and misjudgments about various things. There’s really no shame in making
mistakes unless we stubbornly refuse to admit, correct and not repeat those mistakes.
Should I have mistakenly listed anyone who has in fact not erroneously labeled the case
and/or Meier as fraudulent, I’ll certainly apologize and remove them from this list.
However, I may ask them to state their position now that sufficient evidence has been made
available that allows them to test some of it themselves. Now before we meet those who, in
my opinion, have effectively endorsed the Meier case by failing to rebut the evidence, think
how different this discussion would have been if all those listed below had simply said those
three wise little words, “I don’t know.”
The List
is a professional skeptic who previously made a rapid, negative
assessment of Meier’s evidence and hastily concluded it was a hoax, defaming him in the
process. Ironically, in our correspondence he tried to sound like a thoughtful man of
science who required that “real science” should be used to substantiate evidence and
represented himself as someone who conducted himself in the same manner. His lack of
response to the evidence I presented to him, other than to avoid and complain about being
required to address it and be accountable for his inept and defamatory comments revealed
that his position was a pretentious façade intended to conceal his complete lack of
knowledge, qualifications and expertise. What it didn’t conceal was his lack of personal
integrity and character and his willingness to hastily misjudge and defame someone based
on his own preconceptions, prejudices and beliefs.
is the poster boy for professional skepticism. He felt no need to honor his own
bogus “$100,000 award for proof of the paranormal, etc.”, since he
retracted his claim
that
the Meier case was a hoax. Again, if it’s not a hoax it’s…real. He pulled the ultimate magic
act and…disappeared.
is the aforementioned astronomer, in reality another pseudoscientist who
seems to be more focused on celebrity seeking and building his reputation as a skeptical
gunslinger by taking on the easy, looney targets in the paranormal and UFO fields.
Another one fast on the draw and quick to shoot, Robbins also tried his hand at dismissing
the evidence in the Meier case, resorting to censoring it as well as misrepresenting it on his
blog. He likes to bake cookies.
is right up there with (actually a good bit higher up the food chain than) Stuart
Robbins. Another one of the celebrity-seeking, “I wanna be Mr. Science” types, he was
alsocharacteristically dismissive in true know-it-all fashion of the Meier case and simply
headed for the hills when confronted and challenged with Meier’s evidence, although he
seemed to take to echoing some it a bit later, when perhaps because he’d forgotten about
Meier he’d also assumed that everyone else had.
is a scientist and professor at ASU who’s actually written
five books
on
extraterrestrial life, etc. Strangely enough, when I sent him our film “as the time fulfills”
and other information about Billy Meier, the only response I was finally able to coax out of
his assistant, after numerous calls and emails to his office, was that, “His interests and
expertise do not extend into this area.” Hey, who said you have to know anything about the
topics you write books about? Of course I did inform him that it was
my
area of interest
and expertise but perhaps he was busy writing another book about extraterrestrials and
didn’t have the time (interest or expertise) to answer.
is also a scientist at ASU who makes TV appearances to discuss
various topics. He’s the author of “The Physics of Star Trek” and
seemed
a likely enough
candidate to send the Meier information to. Despite three emails from me and one from
NASA aerospace engineer
there was no response..until I notified
him of my intention to give him some free publicity here. Then he didn’t want me to
mention his name.
is an outspoken scientist who seems to be a champion of many right
causes, lending his expertise and credibility to espousing them. However, like too many
other celebrity-scientists, his tarsals and metatarsals assume sub-zero temperatures when it
comes to publicly commenting on the Meier case, the existence and authenticity of which he
is
well
aware, since I’ve not only sent him “And Did They Listen?” but also quite a few
emails, including about Meier’s information on
. He has a Facebook page where
people can also contact him and let him know the world’s a friendly place and that it’s
actually safe to
take a stand
on something this important.
of (get a load of this) OpenMinds represent a unique blend
of cynicism, disinformation and naked profiteering. This is the organization that purchased
a large part of Wendelle Stevens research collection, including his work on the Meier
investigation, Meier’s photos, etc., and that then attacks the case as a “hoax”…
while selling
Meier’s photos!
I consider that to be the behavior of the epitome of two-faced, parasitical,
bottom feeders…and willing disinformation agents in the UFOCI.
is a young UFO enthusiast, whatever that means, who’s kinda dedicated
to UFO related matters, chasing lights in the sky and various government conspiracies, etc.
John had a complete meltdown when we got into it about the Billy Meier case. Like most
everyone in this category, he did his version of “Hi, I’m whatshisname, and I’m a Billy
Meier denier.” When pressed even mildly he was unable to say
anything
of significance or
credibility to support his confused position on the Meier case. So since he couldn’t refute
the clear and credible evidence, he simply got mad at me, took his marbles and went home.
Presumably he’ll work even harder on uncovering the UFO cover-up, while continuing to
avoid recognizing that it’s solely about the Billy Meier case at this point.
deserves a special place on this list and in our hearts. Bartholomaus,
like James Randi, is also a professional skeptic, bungler and bumbler. He too retracted his
claim that the Meier case was a hoax using models and miniature trees, etc. But he couldn’t
resist trying to attract people to his
by being deliberately misleading in
naming it. He aligned himself with:
, the British skeptic who made some excellent models of the WCUFO and
whose photos are the best efforts of duplicating the
effect
of Meier’s. Of course the devil’s
in the details and details such as those seen
were never attempted by Langdon, whose
inner awareness of Meier’s authenticity must be getting the better of him. Early on he was
quite vocal in claiming that his efforts proved that Meier had hoaxed all his evidence using
the same methods that Langdon employed. While I had actually encouraged his efforts to
take his best shots (no pun intended) beginning in 2009, Langdon’s earlier, over reaching
confidence virtually evaporated in the face of Prof. Zahi’s expert analyses. Langdon
uttered a few incoherent words and, like a few others, basically disappeared.
has been hounding the UFO scene for some time, with his daffy
“Exopolitics” organization, dog and pony show “UFO hearings” and time wasting “fax
Washington to force UFO disclosure” deliberate disinformation and distraction agenda. I
say that it’s deliberate because no sincere, sane and honest individual would run around
claiming that there’s an “extraterrestrial presence” with “millions of contactees” and all
those darn crying, bug-eating, “alien-human hybrid babies”. A few years ago, Bassett not
only admitted to me in person that he knows the Meier case is authentic but he explained
that – in his words – “It wasn’t
time
for it yet.” He added that it was more important for
people to get behind his insane program to send faxes to Washington, to try to force the
government to disclose things it doesn’t know about evidence that it no longer possesses.
You don’t get more points as a hack disinformation operative than that. Of course when
you actually
finance
poseurs and profiteers like this, you earn a complimentary placement
on this list, such as…
is a Canadian philanthropist from what I can learn about him from
limited information online. Apparently he was the sole, or main, financial supporter for
Bassett’s latest congressional caper, coughing up $600,000 for the fiasco, which included
paying
six US Congressmen, our elected officials, $20,000 each to bark along with Bassett
about all this UFO stuff. That money
could
have been used to publicly inform the citizens
of planet Earth that a race of extraterrestrial human beings have been in contact with a
Swiss man for over 72 years and they and he are trying very hard to assist us to
not
commit
planetary suicide. Of course the Plejaren didn’t reckon with the power of the almighty
dollar and the irrepressible, egomaniacal ambitions of third-rate exopolitical hacks and
their deluded (or is it willing?) supporters.
$600,000
…it’s staggering to think about the
awareness that investment
could
have brought to the world through providing translations
of Meier’s 26,000+ pages of information into different languages, etc. Perhaps though
Clearwater explained the underlying reason for the disparity in our priorities when in
response to my asking him, “Why focus on imaginary entities, baby aliens and
disinformation instead of the only authentic UFO contacts of Billy Meier?” Clearwater
said, “I suppose because we live in different universes. Mine is seemingly much more
populated than yours.” There you have it, much more populated with
imaginary
things
which, when you think about this already overly entertained world, is what people like to
waste their money on anyway. I guess Clearwater is a – proud – example of just what Billy
Meier was warning about in number 127
is a MUFON representative of some sort to whom I had sent information on
the Meier case. Her professional, genteel response is now a matter of record, as is her role
as Susie the Serpent Slayer. Some eccentric people with too much time on their hands dress
up in little costumes and entertain tourists on Hollywood Boulevard, others get involved in
being “UFO researchers”.
has made a career out of yacking about…Roswell. A frequent presence
on the rubber chicken circuit, Friedman is the Uncle Stan of UFO experts, rehashing
whatever information about the
67 year old
event he can possibly dredge up. It wasn’t
always like that. At one point in the early stages of the investigation into the Billy Meier
UFO case, Friedman approached lead investigator, Lt. Colonel Wendelle Stevens, begging
to be involved in the investigation and especially the analysis of Meier’s photographic
evidence. Stevens declined the request, noting (wisely) that he didn’t want the investigation
contaminated by any members of the UFOCI, but only wanted reputable, high level
analysts and facilities involved in the process. Apparently Friedman took umbrage at being
treated dismissively and thereafter called the case a hoax, etc. However, he has assured his
place in UFOlogical history as having remarkable digestive abilities (even for a public
speaker) and the capacity to suppress his boredom, as well as his frustration about being
excluded from the Meier case investigation.
of the Disclosure Project probably started out on that famous road paved
with very good intentions, forgetting that it unfailingly led to some particular hell or
another. In Greer’s case, it’s led him to morph into a money-seeking huckster, who sells
expensive, totally inane “Ambassador to the Universe” trainings and “Shine Your
Flashlight in the Desert Sky for Aliens-on-Demand” performances. As I did with Bassett, I
personally and publicly offered the Meier case to Greer as not only the world’s best
evidence but as a means to relieve us form the parade of people who’ve courageously come
forward to tell us they’ve seen stuff in the sky…though they really don’t know what it was.
Like Bassett, Greer continues to milk the cow of promises never delivered and of course
has no shortage of customers who are willing to pay for such consciousness clogging, stuff.
is a scientist who’s avoided saying too much about the Meier case
although I’ve sent him tons of information about it. He also has been in contact with
, who’s made a truly huge contribution to the research in the Meier case.
So while Haisch appears to be content to not raise his head and take a firm stand,
because
he is a scientist and well aware of the Meier case I’m saying that he effectively endorses the
authenticity of the case. Should he disagree, he has all the opportunity he needs to clearly,
credibly – and courageously – come forward and refute the evidence.
, of CFI-West/IIG is an associate of Derek Bartholomaus’ whose
agreement to look into the evidence in the Meier case some time ago apparently fell by the
wayside, as he tilts at the paranormal windmills that constitute the weighty challenges
facing CRI-West/IIG in its never-ending battle to rid the world of phony psychics, seers
and other menaces to society, which also serves to keep
their
$50,000 award safely
untouched and probably non-existent. The fact that they should hand over the award to
Meier may also account for his keeping a very low profile. Despite his personally telling me
that he’d delve into the Meier information and evidence that easily rebuts all claims of any
hoax, nothing ever came of it. Perhaps he actually read what happened when the skeptics
tried to debunk
Meier’s Jupiter related information
…and ended up corroborating it
instead.
may be the James Randi of UFOlogy. He claims that he knows what he
saw…but then offers a bogus $100,000 award for proof of an actual extraterrestrial UFO.
Naturally, when presented with ample evidence of the authenticity of Meier’s claims he
goes into airplane mode, disconnecting entirely from the conversation, probably not even
vibrating…He could have contacted:
are both professional skeptics – one really has to laugh
at that notion and the endless obligations it must bestow upon these people to view
everything that is outside of their religiously tinged belief systems and world view as
suspicious and in need of “debunking”. Suffice it to say that they too accused Meier of a
hoax but never substantiated their claims, busy as they must be tilting at windmills.
is a columnist for the Huffington Post who, as you can read, let me know that
the price for his bringing the Meier case to public attention was nothing less than
him
meeting with…the Plejaren. He wasn’t happy that I shared his egocentric demands
publicly. Speigel’s claim to UFameO is rests on some work he did on the topic back in the
1970s. I guess he figured that the Plejaren must have been too busy messing around with
that “Swiss farmer” back then to have noticed him and, while he
might
forgive the
oversight, he’s still willing to give them an audience…but not mention it to
his
audience
unless the Plejaren cater to his demands.
has been happy to do a hatchet job on the Meier case because, after all, Birnes is
a “UFO researcher” who got his big break to do a TV show, wear sunglasses, get his 15
minutes and…dutifully spread disinformation. One of his compatriots in disinformation is:
,who repeats and supports the defamatory, unsubstantiated and now
proven completely wrong attacks on the Meier, the WCUFO etc.
of SETI has also stubbornly, deliberately and perhaps in obedience to any
higher ups – but most certainly in fear of losing his paycheck for essentially doing nothing
of significance – chosen to ignore both my in person and online conveyance to him of the
Meier information. He waits by his radio in hopes of receiving “contact” form folks who
are laughing at the ludicrousness of it, off world and on.
another UFO debunker who simply doesn’t care to get up to speed,
despite my providing him with all of the Meier related evidence and information any
serious researcher could want. Of course many people who think of themselves as “UFO
researchers” are merely hobbyists, conspiracy theorists and dabblers with too much time
on their hands and have fond the UFO topic to be sufficiently superficially exciting so as to
help alleviate some of their boredom.
is an online hub for various skeptics like Shermer, etc., that has been
approached numerous times to look into and challenge the Meier material. I’ve included
another UFO skeptic only because he too couldn’t deal with the Meier’s evidence:
said to feel free to contact him “with any information or feedback you desire
via email” pertaining to his website that basically regards most UFOs as not plausible,
figments of people’s imaginations, misperceptions, etc. But wouldn’t ya know it, he too
can’t handle the evidence in the Meier case.
is a nice looking website on which I’ve yet to find any mention
of the Meier case, despite sending information to it since 2010. I say it because this is one of
those cases where I also haven’t succeeded in finding out who actually runs the site, gathers
the information, determines what is and isn’t authentic, etc. So I’m including them as
endorsing the Meier case until I receive notice that they don’t and provide credible,
substantiated evidence, etc.
There are a few people I’m including in this list who aren’t really openly involved in the
UFO topic or debate but who despite their professed cutting edge, forward thinking
attitudes were far from open-minded – or courageous – enough to even look through the
proverbial telescope and say
anything
about it:
, a professional atheist who blusters a good bit about “converting”
religious believers to atheism, a kinda…religious approach if one thinks about it. He makes
good points about religious delusions and I approached him to be interviewed on some
forthcoming should he was going to host. I briefly met him in person and, when I contacted
him to follow up afterwards about the interview, used a silly excuse to cancel it. Atheists
often have their own
very
religious beliefs of which they’re unaware. Boghossian, turned
out to be a paper tiger when it came to responding to information about the Meier case,
maybe because it makes his atheist viewpoint seem like kindergarten in comparison with
things like Meier’s information on
, etc. Nice intelligent guys like this have
also mapped out and defined reality and don’t want inconvenient little things like the most
important true story in all of science and human history messing with their beliefs, comfort
zone or…
popularity.
get honorable mentions as outsiders to the UFOCI who
contributed to the debate if only by letting their religious beliefs, political correctness, etc.,
get in the way of true free speech, independence of thinking and healthy debate on campus.
I include them as endorsing the case since they know about it and couldn’t, wouldn’t,
certainly didn’t act with
any
courage or intellectual honesty in dealing with it.
Unfortunately, colleges and universities have so lost direction and tend to think it’s more
important to focus on politically correct, “daring” issues, such as what consenting adults do
with their genitals. I really wouldn’t expect them to pay much attention to most of the UFO
information, etc., but the Meier case
isn’t
to be equated at all to that tabloid worthy
nonsense…as both Ms. Kravetz and Mr. Slezak are certainly intelligent enough to realize.
UPDATED Entry:
really is deserving of being added to the list. While certainly not one of the
active defamers of the Meier case, Dolan has dug himself into a nice, comfortable, Mr.
Milquetoast position, where he drones on, endlessly, about essentially…nothing. However,
being a reasonably astute, intelligent, dedicated
UFO researcher
who, for the life of him,
just couldn’t manage to notice the zillion pound elephant in the room, maybe he too needs
to be reminded that the
truth
is far more important than pushing books about speculative
UFO nonsense when the Meier case is here, present and starring in your sleepy face. Wake
the heck up, RIchard Dolan! I’ve now appointed and anointed you as an enthusiastic
endorser of the truth about the singular authenticity of the Billy Meier UFO contacts so
hurry up and credibly object, dispute or, well…write another book about how you finally
came to discover it, etc.
Why
One may wonder why I bothered to list these people. If this were just about “UFOs” it
would be a huge waste of time. However, I view the Meier case as the key to our future
survival and my personal mission is to help prove the prophecies…
wrong.
So pointing out
just
some
of the parties who’ve contributed up until now to withholding and suppressing
the truth from the public is necessary. Certainly they’re not all mean-spirited, deliberate
disinformers. But they are, each of them, people who could have and should have dug a
little deeper into the evidence rich Meier case with its staggering implications for humanity
before
they dismissed, ridiculed and condemned it.
said to Billy Meier, in 1987, regarding Meier’s indefatigable
but possibly futile efforts to help the human beings of Earth:
“You apparently never give up hope. Your optimism is honourable and deserves to be
heard by human beings, but the way things have developed throughout this century there is
not too much hope that human beings of Earth will come to their senses and heed your
words. This will then be the case only when the prophecies prove to be true or, even worse,
have already come to pass. Probably only then will the time come when the defamations
against you will end in regard to your contacts with us, although they will long continue to
be vehemently disputed by your enemies as well as by pathological know-it-alls and critics
who dismiss them as swindle, lies and fraud. The full truth about our contacts with you will
be proven in the distant future, and then mankind will accept our help we offer through
you—even when they erroneously assume we come from the seven-star system known to
human beings of Earth as the Pleiades.”
*Normally, MUFON would have been at the top of this list. However, since I am in
communication with its executive director, Jan Harzen, I plan on making an announcement
this week on the progress concerning their opening up the discussion about the Billy Meier
UFO case to the public and to their membership.
