My 2 cents for what it's worth. Wilcock's ego is out of control and he so desperately wanted Goode to be for real and to cash in on 'scoops' for his money-making enterprises that discernment went out the window, though fundamentally his heart's in the right place, I believe. Unfettered egos are easy targets for the unscrupulous in this business.
Goode however is a cynic, jaundiced by decades of ufo research like the rest of us, maybe got suckered in himself a few times, disappointed with the likes of Simon and perhaps encouraged by the likes of Charles? despair and financial desperation tipped him over the edge and he joined PT Barnum's crew of snake oil salesman that believe 'there's a sucker born every minute' and better screw them before you get had again. All very sad really and quite disgusting. Just about any one of us could do this with the 'lore' we've accumulated over the years, write a narrative and present ourselves as a whistleblower, or emissary from the Galactic Federation, but while decent people wouldn't dream of it, there always some scumbag that will. Muddying the already opaque waters we're trying to clear.
I was appalled when I looked at his website, in your face insulting and I will never cease to be amazed by the number of people willing to believe fantastic tales without a shred of evidence. Barnum may be correct about the limited intelligence of great swathes of humanity, but it is not intelligent to shaft them out of their hard earned slave wages, just cruel, cowardly, cynical and nasty. The liars and cheats will learn that karma's a bitch if you are, and sadly the well meaning Wilcock's are collateral damage that will not be spared because they had no ill intent, blinded by ego they will eventually experience the most painful humiliation.
Whether or not either of them are now being used by the bad boys to further their agendas is not really of much import to me as neither of them garner my attention for long. I still enjoy reading Fulford's rantings strangely enough, but if I never hear the words 'sources say' again it will be too soon. Undisclosed sources and insiders. Yawn.
But we're getting there. Looking forward to the WikiTribune...an attempt to circumvent fake news. Avalon is doing a good job of outing the fake alt news whilst still allowing a respectful space for those with fantastic claims to be heard, the ensuing analysis that comes from the membership has inestimable value. Thank you Bill and all.
