Nice theory, but if Mr. Friedman had been perpetrating a hoax why
would he have willfully offered up all his MJ-12 and Twining
memo documents to authorization by the foremost authority on
documentation authorization? We covered this on UFO Updates
months ago.

It just so happens a classmate of mine is one of the foremost
authorities on document authorization and I presented his
contact info right here on this list and Mr. Friedman was the
first to offer up his documents.

Doesn't seem to me that a hoaxster would leap into the lion's
den with both feet.

My pal Bart is back in the U.S. and I'm sure if there are
documents that qualify for authentication he'll be more than
happy to look at them as well as pass them on to other experts
in the field.


Best,
