    Hi Bill,
    Your thoughts and opinion on bigfoot. Do you think they have equal or superior intelligence to us or perhaps some type of esp abilities for evasion or to avoid capture? Thanks I think they might.

    Hey Bill, what do you make of Kerry’s interviews with Kimberly Goguen? Also, any thoughts you might have on KG?

    Thanks for this opportunity, excellent thread.
    I've not listened to those interviews by Kerry, so I'm really not well-qualified to comment.

    Regarding Kim Goguen's claims and provenance, over the months I've posted a few careful thoughts on Gwin Ru's long thread, but haven't really engaged in that very heavily as Gwin Ru is a close personal friend for whom I have the very greatest respect.

    All I can really say is that
    • I can't see any hard evidence that anything Kim says or claims is real;
    • The often quite unprofessional (in my personal opinion) presentations seem to lead to questions about the extent to which this is more than just another amateur operation;
    • Steffen Rowe ('Tank)' is a clumsy buffoon (again, in my personal opinion), and if Kim is all she says she is, it's hard for me to understand what the heck she's doing counting on him for so much in what would arguably be an extremely important enterprise.

    Is Kerry Cassidy dangerous?
    The question made me laugh. You may understand that I don't really want to say too much here.

    All I can really offer, I think, is that Kerry and I always differed to a large degree about many matters pertaining to 'science'. (Ad I mean real science, not the shallow or even falsified stuff often promulgated on the mainstream.)

    She operates to a large degree from her right brain (not so much from her left, as it were), so she can make leaps and connections that others may not feel are easily justified. And she firmly regards that as a strength, while others may not be so easily persuaded. The optimum balance may lie somewhere in between, but Kerry's modus operandi is usually way off towards one strongly-felt end of that spectrum.

    Well, "intelligence" may need to be defined here. Like many animals of all kinds, they're likely to have abilities (and senses) that humans just don't possess. But I've never been persuaded that (e.g.) they can talk in the way that we can, leave written messages, and so on. There seems to be quite a lot of good evidence that they are high primates with some kind of human DNA connection. (See the work of Dr Melba Ketchum, for instance.)

    More interesting may be this question, posed in a thread started by myself in 2018:
    It's genuinely bewildering, as there really is quite some evidence that this might be the case. In my opinion, it can't easily be dismissed out of hand. But how this all fits together — I really just don't know.

    I'm looking at that list and I don't see Jane Burgermiester.
    I love that interview. In my opinion that interview changed and saved people's lives.

    Why was she not included?

    Also, I've never been able to pin down Leo Zagami, he's been on Infowars quite a bit lately.
    Is Leo making things up? Compromised? Disinformation?

    Thanks! I have NO idea why she wasn't on the list. She's there now!

    Re Leo Zagami, my personal opinion is that he's compromised and his information cannot be trusted.

    Well , apparently those who run Youtube think so, it seems she has been locked out of her live stream rights, by acquiring 3 strikes, i was just listening to her put her case for reinstatement , and then goes on to give a list of False Flag events, one being Pearl Harbour , and possibly 9-11 , so yea DNA ,i can understand why you ask that question about Kerry Cassidy

    This my not be the best place for this post, but I could not find the thread where Bill posts his hikes with Mara.

    Here’s a hike you may find challenging. You’d have to go to the USA, California I think, for this one.

    About 30 minutes.

    The grueling hike into ”The Most Remote Ghost Town in America.”

    No, Laura Eisenhower never had any connection with Camelot while I was involved in 2006-2010. She only really became well-known in the alternative community after 2015 when she started strongly supporting Corey Goode.

    Hi Bill,

    I hope you're well! There's a user here on PA, 1967Sander, who created a post "Project Golden Dragon - ancient aliens" [13/10/12], detailing evidence he discovered of advanced alien machinery on the moon, via Clementine orbiter images, published on the web by nasa. I see that you did not comment on that thread, but checked out the poster's profile...

    1967Sander also has a youtube channel titled UAP Research [formerly 1967sander], found here. He's recently released a new series re Project Golden Dragon, there. Here's the links to the 3-part series:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUxJ1cegkKw


    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tilJeJUMSJ4

    Question:

    What's your take, Bill, on the evidence presented in this "Project Golden Dragon" series, including whether or not you subscribe to the findings of Sander, and what ET race might be responsible for the presence of such "mining equipment, that's taller than Mt. Everest and the size of NYC"?

    Thanks much, in advance!

    I gained the impression that Kerry is more reckless than dangerous, I discern that she makes 'lateral' connections between concepts and ideas, but she lacks the self discipline, and sometimes the humility of the true scholar, this accounts for some of the more extravagant conclusions she has made. What can be a strength in some contexts can present as being a liability in others! I sense that Kerry is sincere, and well-intentioned, she does not mean to obfuscate, or tell untruths but she can allow her enthusiasm for alternative explanations to spoil her credibility. Obviously I do not know Kerry personally, these are just some impressions that have arisen in my mind. A lack of discipline and knowledge of the fundamentals of science can result in dangerous consequences, but this danger is more of a personal and philosophical nature than a tangible peril. Two cents gets you a bag of lollies.

    I watched all three, and was totally unconvinced. I think he's drawing conclusions from patterns which just aren't there. (In the Clementine logo, too.)

    But the principal anomaly which he focuses on has certainly been modified to be redacted from view, however this was done (digital 'airbrushing', etc etc). But because all that can be seen is a large digital smudge, there could be anything there at all.

    For sure, there are many anomalies on the moon that have been edited out of NASA/JPL photos. I think this is well-recognized. See this 2001 Disclosure Project video of Donna Hare and Karl Wolf:

    This is the video conversation between David DuByne and Mike Adams about the recent sudden deaths of thousands of cattle in Kansas. It's interesting, for sure, but I don't buy for a moment that magnetic field changes are responsible.

    If such a thing was the cause, (a) it would affect many other animals as well all over the world, and (b) the deaths wouldn't be sudden, like all at once, overnight. I'd suspect poisoning of some kind, which was many people's first thought. Heat alone wouldn't do this. I'm sure the farmers have asked their vets to do post mortems on the animals, and I'll be most interested to hear the results.

    The convincing case for the "Rebirth of Catastrophism" and why it cannot be dismissed

    "During The Carrington Event in 1859- the last time the Sun had anything close to a superflare - telegraph wires caught fire and multiple telegraph stations reported severe damage.

    There's only one thing preventing every little hiccup from the Sun from causing a catastrophe like this: Earth's magnetic field.

    And as the magnetic field accelerates, it takes a little less from the Sun to erase our electrical way of life and throw us back into the Stone Age.

    Are we facing a potential Carrington Event scenario?

    More importantly, when will this catastrophe happen?

    Ben Davidson believes he might know the answer."

    Bill, Just wondering if you ever climbed "Chimborazo" in Ecuador, or have plans to. It is Ecuador's highest mountain, and in one sense, it is the "highest mountain on Earth", that is, if you measure from the center of the Earth. If you measure from sea level, then that would be Mt. Everest.

    Ha. Great question. Yes, I've thought of it, of course. I'm sure it'd be very possible.

    But it's not all that straightforward. Although one might be able to sneak up there on one's own, one's supposed to hire a local guide. And that may not be a bad idea, if one doesn't know the mountain personally.

    In October last year (2021), 6 climbers were killed in an avalanche while ascending the regular route, while 30 years ago 10 climbers were killed in pretty much the same spot. So it has its dangers, even for guided climbers who are supposed to know what they're doing.
    Two more people were just killed in an avalanche on Chimborazo, two Canadians in their 20's. Perhaps it's a good think you don't have that cold weather climbing gear anymore!

    Thanks, yes. The avalanche hit them at much the same place as happened in all the previous accidents. It's a dangerous spot.

    The real problem was that it happened at 8.30 am, when they were ascending. The rising morning sun quickly melts the ice and weakens it. That's always a danger, on any mountain like that.

    An experienced guide would have recommended that they climbed at night and then descended before sunrise, when everything's frozen solid and avalanche danger is minimized. (And yes, I don't think I'll be attempting this. I have nothing to prove, and while I'd be certain I'd not have a problem, it might well be rather hard work. )

    Bill,
    I see oldie Goldie threads bumped occasionally… I absolutely love it! There’s so much incredible insight and information that deserves a reboot. New light could be shared on subjects, and those newer to Avalon would be able to share in it. It’s easy to lose sight of some marvelous threads. Would you mind rebooting a couple of personal favorites of yours from the years, for the sake of fresh insights and new eyes?

    Many thanks!
    Pamela
