I'm just not sure.
There was something there that I couldn't actually put a finger on, but it aroused a suspicion.
Do you reject all his work then?
No. But I was left pondering about the reliability of parts of it. As they say, the devil is in the detail.
If I recall correctly, I think it was Peter Dale Scott who said, in effect, that competent state propaganda/psyops are composed very largely of the truth (something like 90%) but contain one or two critical flaws which when (or if) placed under stress brings the whole structure down.
At the time I spoke to him, I was still heavily engaged on another story and had to ask myself should I continue with that, or follow my nose and instincts on this. I decided to do the former, as I had already invested years in it and wanted to finish it.
As I recall, it was the hesitation and/or evasiveness on some of the questions I posed that aroused some concerns. Sufficient anyway, for me to be - and remain - reserved about his story.
I may, of course, be doing him a terrible injustice. But I just can't shake that feeling/sense that not all was as it seemed.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
