- Jim... I have been following the threads on Paranet Alpha and was particularly
- interested in the comments by John Lear and Bill Cooper, both claiming to have
- "inside Information" on the coverup. Lear is of course well known for his
- controversial theories, and Cooper had begun adding additional info. including
- a warning about the new Project Blue Book! These threads became rife with
- epithets and name-calling, yet Lear & Cooper seemed to hold up under the
- pressure. Next thing I see is that Cooper has been kicked off... is there any
- chance that you could share any details on why you consider him a liar? I must
- confess he had me fooled, and Lear said he had almost forsaken Paranet entirely
- due to constant derision by skeptics until the corroborating remarks of Cooper
- appeared on the board! I'm all for truth as you are, and I'm also for freedom
- of speech where honest research and hypotheses are concerned. I know you're
- swamped with input etc.and just hope you can clear this up a bit. Any further
- details would be greatly appreciated.

- Michael:
-
- As you know, I had posted a general notice on ParaNet Alpha to the effect that
- anyone knowingly posting false or misleading information regarding government
- involvement in UFO investigation, or any other paranormal field, would be given
- the boot. I've done it before, and I'll continue to do it. I didn't want anyone
- to get the impression that I was singling out Cooper. I ixnayed a guy named
- Lemming for the same thing over a year ago.
-
- Before he began his public posting of controversial files, Cooper had been
- privately sending me files containing much the same information -- names of
- black projects and their stated goals. Some of those project names we had heard
- before: MJ-12, Aquarius, Sigma, Snowbird, etc. Some were new: Plato, Excalibur,
- etc. I was told to forward the information to researcher Stan Friedman for
- verification, which I did. I also made it available to several other sources
- whom I knew to have very high security clearances within the intelligence
- community, and who counted themselves UFO believers. I believed Cooper's
- information was 90% regurgitation of what was known publicly, and 10%
- embellishment, some of which was inspired by Lear's information, some inspired
- by information from another bogus "insider" named Jeff Felix. Stan Friedman was
- unable to substantiate any of Cooper's claims, and my intelligence sources
- actually had a good laugh over it. These sources will remain anonymous, despite
- any protests from Cooper. He has accused the government in complicity with an
- alien takeover plot, and refuses to name his sources; two can play that game.
-
- The reason I did not take the same action with John Lear is this: John has
- continually stated that his information is nothing more than an hypothesis,
- based on information from "confidential informants" and other sources such as
- "UFO CRASH AT AZTEC." Wild as his story is, none of it can be directly
- contradicted by the public record because there IS no public record. Cooper, on
- the other hand, strongly implied that he had direct knowledge that his
- information was correct, based on his memory of actually having seen government
- documents. He further implied that he was getting much of his info from an
- MJ-12 insider, and stated several times that his life was imperiled by passing
- it on. His info was full of internal inconsistencies; some of it could be
- directly contradicted by known intelligence procedures; and the inability of
- Stan Friedman, who is known to be in contact with people claiming to be MJ-12
- insiders, to verify Cooper's info, all these factors led to my decision.
-
- I've worked for two and a half years to build ParaNet's credibility as a source
- of paranormal information, and I saw that work crumbling under a mountain of
- self-aggrandizing messages and cloak-and-dagger files, and most dangerous of
- all, many people were coming to associate ParaNet EXCLUSIVELY with this sort of
- activity. While we pride ourselves on having the inside story, brother, that
- ain't it.
-
- Hope this makes it clearer.
