The following is a response from a user here at ParaNet Lambda
concerning the difficulties in accepting John Lear's statement
on the UFO/Government connection.  This represents on user's
views and does not necessarily reflect the opinions of the
ParaNet administrator or any ParaNet staff.  Craig McCann makes
some excellent analogies in discrepancies in logistics.

'Lear Text' Discrepancies
by Craig McCann`

January 31, 1988


I've read LEAR.TXT several times to get the full impact of its
contents.

The first time, I read it on-line and was quite shaken by the
implications of the article as I let it scroll by.  Since the
text was captured to a disk file I was able to re-read it more
carefully and am now "skeptically open minded".  I say open
minded because I believe this universe is teaming with life at
different stages of development and interstellar travel is most
likely a technical matter for the most advanced life forms.

My skepticism arises because although the article is smoothly
written (in spite of several spelling and grammatical errors) it
seems like a collage of tabloid sensationalism woven together with
a few real names, places, and historical events to give it more
credibility.  Adding to my disbelief are a few nagging questions
that come to mind:

     1)  This one has already been mentioned by you, Brad.  How did
'advanced' beings that have no apparent regard for other intelligent
life survive their technical ability to destroy themselves?
      2)  Why haven't they used their superior technological and
medical expertise to synthesize the required enzymes instead of
hacking and slashing other intelligent life forms?
      3)  They 'invented' Jesus Christ?  The intent of Jesus Christ
was a message of love, universal harmony, and brotherhood.  Obviously
not the intent of these EBEs (if they exist).
      4)  Their technology can 'record all earth history' but their
crafts are crashing with no recovery plan of their own.  Why would
they allow our scientists to examine them and then deny the use
of 'bargained for technology'?
      5)  A 'well planned invasion'?  It would be more sensible for
this type of being to crush us back into the stone age and then
harvest and take what they want.  To allow us technology at all would
be a dangerous move.  No tech - no SDI!!
      6)  An enormous saucer was buried at a crash site where it
remains to this day?  Whatever happened to disassembly and
examination?
      7)  Because a stock market correction took place a decision to
postpone a public announcement about the EBEs was made?  Forgive me,
but I find this to be senseless.  If the EBEs exist as this document
describes, an upheaval in the financial markets would certainly follow
any credible announcement of this type no matter how healthy they were
prior to the announcement.

Etc......etc....(yes, I could go on a bit more, but.....)
Mr. Lear, the next time you want to 'inform' me you don't have to
start off with intimidating inferences to my possible gullibility
and load your article with sensational verbiage that any tabloid would
be proud of.  Stick closer to the facts, than you.  Nuff said...-C.M.
