Since when does anyone have to a degree in Geology in order to hold a frozen palm frond in his hand, while standing hundreds of miles above the Arctic Circle, and think "something here is out of place".


Science requires that something be testable, repeatable
and reproducible. We have only his word to go on and
nothing else.

**YOU** are not a "scientist". User 78/68 has a biology degree. He actually has "scientific" credentials.

The best advice we can give on this matter is to read with your heart as well as your mind. Follow the flow, let the nuances lie unanswered and unchallenged in your mind. Treat this as a garden you are walking through for the first time, and experience it fully without trying to categorize it! Much of what you will learn will be processed in your subconscious, and influence your conscious mind later. If you must dissect each phrase, and correlate it with each piece of information taken from another source, you will trash much of what you could otherwise gain.

How do you know she gets Social Security?


She's old enough to collect.

1. Claims that she didn't know she was a contactee until she was in her "mid fifties"
2. Claims that she realized she was a contactee in 1993.

55 + 16 = 71

More than old enough to collect social security and be on medicare.

And for those that don't realise Prof_Rabbit gave us a few examples of Ms LIEDer slipping up in the past and crossing over from herself into ZetaMax mode and forgetting who she was meant to be posting as. Given the fact that that Nancy has multiple servers available at her disposal leaves the possibilty open that ZetaMax is indeed Nancy as a sockpuppet. Ms LIEDer has done this before....most notably as the sockpuppet elle. Eventually she slipped up big time and had to send elle away on a permanent camping trip.
In the end it is not significant who ZetaMax really is because, Imo, as ZetaMax is just as fraudulent in character and ineffective as Ms LIEDer has been for years.

The Zetas aren't wrong because NANCY and her cronies make all this shit up.
If "Zetans" are a true race of beings not from here I don't believe for a second they would contact her.... They would at the very least contact someone who isn't suffering senile dementia.

If they did they wouldn't call themselves Zetans, because humans named the star system Zeta Reticuli, they would introduce us to themselves as they are for themselves, not what we believe them to be.

If they are an older, more advanced civilization - I don't care, we are more than smart enough to not have to be babied and anything saying "come on little humans, lalalala" is not benevolent - it's manipulative.

My 2 cents, thanks for reading

 Quoting: Circuit Breaker

I watched the movie "Serpico" with Al Pacino on video last night. Have never actually seen the movie before - though of course who hasn't heard about it. Anyhow, I was struck by how pervasive the corruption was - it was the NORM rather than the exception. Serpico HIMSELF was the exception!! Not only was there no peer pressure to do the "right thing", nor even a "live and let live" ethic pervading, but in fact the peer pressure was emphatically to do the WRONG thing - and someone, like Serpico, who would have been more than happy to "live and let live", was instead driven - quite literally - to the point where he felt he had nothing left to lose, and nothing else to live for. Instead what replaced a true "code of ethics" was MISPLACED "unconditional loyalty to your brother officer".

So - with this kind of dynamic being the norm rather than the exception, the debunkers here would have us believe that the "scientific community" is immune to this kind of twisted cronyism - and values "truth" above "status" and "reputation" and "peer acceptance".

Yeah - right!!!

>> silenced or controlled by the government

Not directly. PEER PRESSURE is the DIRECT mechanism. However, the indirect mechanism is achieved through FUNDING - and rewarding "scientists" who espouse views that are in lockstep with "government" ambitions, and ignoring or marginalizing scientists who espouse views not in accord with "government" ambitions. Rarely however, is it necessary for direct intervention, as "Serpico" type renegades truly are the RARE exception.

I always "smile" whenever Agent 88 goes on insisting on only "peer reviewed" *scientific* literature - as if that was the most "trustworthy" source of "truthful" material!

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 768671

"Serpico" is based on the true life of NYPD cop Francis (Frank) Serpico. As such it is quite accurate in detail - though some characters are composites, and some events are "edited" for compression and flow purposes - and perhaps a sprinkling of "artistic license" here and there. In real life, Serpico went to the NY Times after he was severely harrassed at customs coming back from Europe. In the movie, it was after being dissed by the upper brass. By and large though, the movie is dead on when it comes to how corrupt the plain-clothes guys were, and how hard it was for Serpico to try and do the job of an "honest" cop.

Most people will coast through life unharrassed once they learn "not to make waves" - in **ANY** field of endeavor. Just "go along to get along". A minority embrace and celebrate the corruption, and an even smaller minority will risk everything to combat the corruption. The problem is, that the corrupt minority have often successfully corrupted the "passive majority" (well portrayed in the movie by more than one cop spilling his guts to Serpico and lamenting the corruption, but accepting thier "share" nonetheless) - so that when the overall corruption is threatened, the "passive majority" find themselves with almost as much to lose as those who "love" the corruption - and side with them overwhelmingly when "the heat is on" - against the renegade "do-gooder".

This dynamic may not be as "extreme" in other fields, but it is certainly present - such as pressure put on hard-working assembly line personal to "slow down", etc. Innovative and creative teachers find themselves ostracized, and on and on.

>> Many people have credibility and integrity.

True enough, but the VAST VAST majority of those will NOT risk "everything" to champion these virtues in the face of personal and professional destruction.

As always, evil succeeds when good men do nothing.

>> This just shows your blinkered tainted view of the world.

And of course, no more pertinent example of this "reality" exists than that of Nazi Germany. There simply weren't enough "Serpicos" to make a difference.

Care to explain why? (thought not ...)

Hopefully that "won't" be the case here in America - but I have my doubts ...

I'm right. You don't know any scientists. They aren't
doing a job, they are living their vocation. They are
in pursuit of a dream, trying to explore puzzles and make
discoveries. There might be a few like what you claim but

 Quoting: DrPostman

You're wrong. I sit on the train ride home at least three days a week with a Ph.D. micro-biologist who is doing vaccine research on the flu on a government grant/contract. Like most of these dudes (including my younger sister who is also a Ph.D. micro-biologist), he chose his field because he loves research and discovery, and dreamed of finding - or at least contributing to - a cure for cancer. He's not at all "thrilled" to be doing vaccine research - which he concedes is not a "silver bullet" even in the best of circumstances, but he's doing it because "nothing else is getting funded" these days. HIS WORDS.

Yes - most people were, at one time in their youth, idealistic and ambitious. But then like most, they "grow up", have kids, get a BIG mortgage, and ...

Yes - most people were, at one time in their youth, idealistic and ambitious. But then like most, they "grow up", have kids, get a BIG mortgage, and ...

GO ALONG TO GET ALONG.


That 'scientist' you sit with sounds as jaded and paranoid as you do. Odd that. Sounds almost like you're making it up.

Your 'homespun' philosophy is infantile and simplistic and shows you have little understanding of the real world.

The best advice we can give on this matter is to read with your heart as well as your mind. Follow the flow, let the nuances lie unanswered and unchallenged in your mind. Treat this as a garden you are walking through for the first time, and experience it fully without trying to categorize it! Much of what you will learn will be processed in your subconscious, and influence your conscious mind later. If you must dissect each phrase, and correlate it with each piece of information taken from another source, you will trash much of what you could otherwise gain. Live in the gray, not always insisting on black and white and strict compartmentalizations.

Most people will coast through life unharrassed once they learn "not to make waves" - in **ANY** field of endeavor.


I'm right. You don't know any scientists. They aren't
doing a job, they are living their vocation. They are
in pursuit of a dream, trying to explore puzzles and make
discoveries. There might be a few like what you claim but
not the vast majority of them. They wouldn't do the work
they do otherwise.

You're wrong. I sit on the train ride home at least three days a week with a Ph.D. micro-biologist who is doing vaccine research on the flu on a government grant/contract. Like most of these dudes (including my younger sister who is also a Ph.D. micro-biologist), he chose his field because he loves research and discovery, and dreamed of finding - or at least contributing to - a cure for cancer. He's not at all "thrilled" to be doing vaccine research - which he concedes is not a "silver bullet" even in the best of circumstances, but he's doing it because "nothing else is getting funded" these days.

"Nothing else is getting funded" these days? Obviously, you have no clue about what the NIH and other agencies are spending on research grants.

As for your supposed commute companion, it would appear that he's either gotten himself stuck in the wrong field, the wrong institute, or just doesn't have the necessary experience to be a cancer researcher.

You take a rather simplistic view of the world and have blinders on when it comes to things you believe to be the truth. It's no wonder you have fallen into the clutches of Nancy's pseudo-cult.

As for being a "fence sitter" you've proven to all of us with your constant support of Nancy (zetatalk) and constant non-questioning of the same that you are firmly in the middle of Nancy's lawn so to speak. You never were a "fence sitter" but just jumped her fence with room to spare and have taken permanent residence in Nancy's camp.

I was QUOTING him - not making a blanket assertion that there was absolutely NO money for cancer research available. If that was true, my sister wouldn't be working.

>> or just doesn't have the necessary experience to be a cancer researcher

I'll give you credit on that one - he just got his Ph.D. last year. My sister got hers over five years ago, and got a cancer research position right away (five years ago was a DIFFERENT world economically - and cancer research money was relatively plentiful). Still - she is basically "locked in" to a paricular track of cancer research, with projects defined in GREAT detail before funding is granted, and for a period of like five years. Once granted, there is little leeway for experimentation - the researcher sticks to the script. Deviations require LOTS of justification and are rarely granted without a VERY, VERY good reason. Edison/Tesla style research is almost completely non-existant today - and even Edison and Tesla had boundaries set by the financiers - but NOTHING like today.

Not the scientists I know. And that guy could easily find
better work elsewhere if he really wanted to. I don't think
I believe that you really know a person like that. Why don't
you befriend a geologist. That way you might learn why you
are so terribly wrong about the Earth.
