UFOS - the serious new deep political research topic?

I had read Martin Cannon's pages and then later on, I ran across this page. Do you have any explanation about why he would seemingly no longer believe his theories and turn away from everything. He mentions that he was tired of being accused of being a spook, but I wonder if there is more to it then that.

Hi Dixie. Yes, I was in contact with him briefly back in the late 1990's and I think he had reached the point of disgusted burn out. Investigating UFO's and mind control is hard work and you do come into contact with all the fruit cakes -- and I can personally attest (re mind control anyway) to the fact that you can easily get sick of the subject and need time to stand back and rebalance yourself. So that's my best guess anyway.

But also, as Jan (I think) has mentioned elsewhere on this forum, he received death threats from John Alexander's CIA mate Gordon Novel of JFK fame. Which may or may not have had an impact?

edit = PS: I would add that any hopes anyone had (me included) of making a living researching and writing about serious conspiracy matters is virtually doomed to failure. This also hurts. A lot. At every turn you get screwed and the worse predators in this respect are TV types who want to bleed you for what you know but not pay a penny for it.

I eventually took the view to just do it anyway because I wanted the information out there - and was ultimately able to reconcile living in virtual poverty to achieve this (although I was always aware that compared to the starving in the third world I lived like a king!).
