Terry ----- Sent: Mar 1, 2009 9:55 AM In regards to UFO debunking and PSY-ops, CIA, etc. Although I do not write much about UFOs, what I do write seems to get dismissed by UFO believers as "debunking." I have, in fact, been accused of being in the pay of the US government to provide disinformation on UFOs (during one of my less than half a dozen radio appearances.) [Truth is I decided long ago, there is no point in arguing with hardcore UFO believers, but instead when I do write about these issues, which is extremely rare, I see myself as presenting my view of them and their activities to the mainstream public who knows little about these issues. The main thing I've said is that after 50 years of work UFOlogists have not accumulated any hard evidence of anything and could not stock a well-done exhibit in a reputable museum with their findings, or obtain a decent grant from the government or write a balanced chapter in a legitimate mainstream science textbook.] Nevertheless, I am accused of opinionated, agenda-driven debunking when I write these things. So, if I'm doing all this work, how come I'm not getting paid for it? Which branch of the federal government funds this stuff and how do I sign up? What is the application procedure?=C2 Please tell them where to find me. I am in need of cash. Thank you. Peter Huston ----- Terry W.
