UFOS - the serious new deep political research topic?

[Jan Klimkowski]

Jan,

I was not aware of Dr. Mack's affiliation -- real or alleged -- with the Aviary, yet a bell faintly rings.

Charlie - you are right to make me check.

Mack may not formally have been a member of the Aviary.

However:

According to Dick Farley, former aide to C.B. Scott Jones, Laurance Rockefeller funnelled "$194,000 to Mack's Harvard- affiliated 'Center for Psychology and Social Change,' via the Washington, D.C. chartered 'Human Potential Foundation, Inc.' in the 1993-1994 period. Mack's group then started 'PEER' (Program for Exceptional Experience Research) and operated an 'alien abductee support group' who, among other functions they served, became fodder for Dr. Mack's 1994 'Abductions.'"

According to Donna Bassett, who infiltrated Mack's abductee support group, the Center for Psychology and Social Change (co-founded by Robert Jay Lifton) receives $250,000 a year from Rockefeller. Rockefeller also gave $194,000 to PEER (Program for Extraordinary Experience Research), along with various other donations. According to Bassett, Mack claims to have received funding from an ex-CIA source.

Mack was reportedly heavily involved in the Russian/American exchange at the Esalen Institute.

See Dick Farley's post at the link below (NB this area is the subject of bitter internecine warfare):

If the above is true, this places Mack as knowingly receiving Rockefeller/Aviary funding and support.

It also suggests he is another Timothy Leary figure.

Unwitting > witting > complicit?

Where on the scale do we judge him to be?
