Sorry, but this thread bugs the hell out of me.
It's not that Jim Marrs is above criticism. But there are deeper issues to deal with here.
We ultimately are self-destructive in the extreme when we contribute to the public perception that internecine warfare is tearing apart the "research community" (once an oxymoron, always an oxymoron).
So too when we allow the argument to migrate from the facts to the folk.
This shouldn't be about Jim Marrs or anyone or anything else but TRUTH and JUSTICE.
In most but not all cases, this MUST BE about the evidence -- NOT the evidence presenters.
Unless, of course, you are prepared to defend an argument that a presenter is an enemy agent -- witting or otherwise.
Don't play the enemy's game. Don't go hunting for your own. Stick to the evidence.
If you've got the goods on a mole in our midst, go for the jugular. But you damn well better be prepared to make your case.
Don't let the enemy deflect attention from the facts.
One more thing: Robert Morningstar is my dear friend. He is George Michael Evica's dear friend. I have no reason to suspect his motives. And while we do not see eye to eye on a number of issues, we do stand as allies on many others.
Have at Robert's arguments. They are fair game.
But be certain that, if you do, you can demonstrate a comprehensive familiarity with and understanding of those arguments.
