John Lear, In His Own Words: An Opportunity To Ask, Mr. Lear questions about some of his more extraordinary views. Options

[painter]

Most of you are aware that a (mostly 'manufactured', IMO) controversy has arisen regarding some of John Lear's views on a variety of topics -- from UFO's, aliens, Moon Bases -- to exactly what happened at the WTC on 9/11. Many of these topics were brought to my attention via a four hour interview conducted by the Camelot Project and put up on youtube over a year ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pj-HzHi3dF0 I was quite fascinated by this interview finding Mr. Lear a congenial and interesting person with views so unconventional I barely knew what to think. My world view isn't conventional, either, but Mr. Lear speaks of things from the point of view of someone who has been down a different branch of the "rabbit hole" than I have.

Earlier today I sent a private message to John asking if he would be willing to discuss some of these views in the context of our "Alternative Theories" forum and he has agreed to do so. The "Alternative Theories" forum can not be viewed by "guests" but only people who have joined the P4T forum. Although it is in all caps at the top of every page here, I'll underscore that views expressed in the forum in general, and especially here in "Alternative Theories," ARE NOT NECESSARILY THE OPINIONS OF PILOTS FOR 911 TRUTH.

So to begin, I want to thank you, John for agreeing to participate in this forum and this discussion. I hope we can all keep it civil and learn something from one another.

I'd like to begin by asking you two questions and my first is about the interview conducted by the Camelot Project. This was a very lengthy and detailed interview. So I'm curious, how did you feel about this interview, the way it was conducted and the way it expresses your views? Do you feel that, in the main, it has presented your views accurately? Are there any qualifications or corrections you would like to air about this interview?

My second question has to do with the subject of UFOs. I'm not a UFO enthusiast although I have paid a bit of attention to this phenomenon, including reading Jacques Valee's book, "Invisible College," when it was originally published in the mid 1970s and, more recently, volume 1 of Richard Dolan's, "UFOs and the National Security State." I found both these books, and especially Dolan's quite interesting. Still, the fact is, although I half humorously say "I'm from another planet," to help explain my over-riding consternation at the way human beings conduct their affairs on this planet, I have no (conscious) personal experience with the UFO phenomena, aliens and so forth.

So, with this introduction, my second question is a two part one: A) what is your personal experience with the UFO phenomena and B) what can you tell us in brief about the relationship between the US military (and/or "national security state") and their on-going investigations into and associations with this phenomena?

I hope other people will take the opportunity to ask questions as we go forward.

Yes, ditto. I want to throw my voice in here, as the voice of someone who is perhaps mad, but straight. I call it as i see it. What i see is the seriousness our situation, it clouds over most other things. I see towers coming down, and i understand why and how. After that, its one big question mark.

What now, McDuff?
