LETTER #6: Executive Editor A J Gevaerd of "Brazilian UFO" writes that Budd Hopkins is a "great UFO researcher of high and distinctive qualities."
LETTER #7: UFO abductee George Ritter cites Budd Hopkins as "the real deal."
LETTER #8: UFO abductee Asgeir Valur Sigurdsson from Iceland pens an "open letter" to Budd Hopkins in which he commends his abduction research work despite being personally convinced that both Hopkins and Whitley Strieber are doing their research on behalf of the CIA or some unknown USG intelligence organization.
LETTER #9: UFO reader Jolene Rae Harrington trashes the skeptic/debunker book "THE ABDUCTION ENIGMA," and points to Hopkins, Dr David Jacobs and "alien hunter" Derrel W Sims as being "tops in their field."

Subject: Budd Hopkins responds to allegations that he's a covert USG intellop!
VICTOR:
I have NO idea WHY you continue to give space to "AGENT 86," a gutless person who makes scurrilously false and unsubstantiated charges about Budd Hopkins, myself, and Dr. Bruce Maccabee based in turn on totally FALSE and unsubstantiated charges made by the late Milton Willian Cooper, a wild-eyed, lying fanatic who served as an inspiration for Oklahoma City Bomber Timothy McVeigh. [Because ALL points of view must be weighed and considered even those out of mainstream thought and consensus.]
Now, he continues to lie and misrepresent me about my use of blacked out (and whited out) government UFO documents. Surely he could provide some evidence – if there were any, since there isn't – not only about my supposedly being a disinformation agent (apparently because he doesn't like what I say and write about Steven Greer). He can't even provide quotes; just arm waving.
RE: The documents. The facts are very simple, though apparently still too difficult for AGENT 86 to get straight:
1. I indeed for many years showed the very heavily censored (about 80%) 21 page legal-sized NSA Affidavit to Judge Gesell justifying withholding 156 UFO documents mentioning of course that the excuse was sources and methods. I also showed blacked out CIA UFO Documents.
2. Finally, acknowledging President Clinton's new Executive Order 12958, the NSA in about 1997 issued a much more lightly censored version (only 20%) of the affidavit, clearly demonstrating that the souces and methods claim was poppycock.
Furthermore, they supposedly released the 156 UFO documents with a little note that "white out" had been used to censor sources and methods info. Unfortunately, one can only read a line or two on each page. If AGENT 86 wants to believe that better than 95% of the info in these UFO documents is just "S & M" data, then he is welcome to. Perhaps he would like to buy a bridge I am selling in Brooklyn as well!
3. Attempts to get the CIA to release a much less highly redacted version of their old UFO documents (8 legible words on some pages) have been UNsuccessful. I tread carefully on security questions having had a clearance for 14 years. Has AGENT 86 had one, or Steven Greer?!
4. What doesn't AGENT 86 like about my comments about Steven Greer? Too busy to put FACTS on the table? Yes, I have claimed that he has his own agenda, is good at raising money, is a charismatic speaker, and for reasons unknown [to me], he did NOT use U.S. government scientific reports such as "Blue Book Special Report 14" to establish the coverup, and did not use the highly censored documents either. They speak volumes. He also didn't have all of his sources vetted.
Additionally, I have noted that he was offering to give people a weekend briefing about all he knew about the subject for only $600, provided that they signed a NON-disclosure agreement.
Moreover, I have expressed dismay at his combining UFOs and a supposed breakthrough on free energy which would save the world, without providing ANY EVIDENCE of the latter.
In short, AGENT 86 has made FALSE CHARGES and claims without supporting them or even enunciating any evidence.
SHAMEFUL,... JUST SHAMEFUL.
To summarize, there is NO evidence that I am a disinformation agent, because I AM NOT. I have correctly and accurately (I realize he doesn't know the meaning of the words) described the government UFO documents which prove that info is being withheld. I have given SPECIFIC comments about Steve Greer. One might think I have a bit more insight about the benefit of Congressional hearings on UFOs, having provided WRITTEN TESTIMONY to the Hearings of July 29, 1968.

Subject: Dr. Steven J. Kurzweil's affidavit
VICTOR: STOP THE PRESSES! Let me know what you think about Budd Hopkins AFTER you read THIS! I am so angry I could SPIT NAILS! Dr. Kurzweil is in NO WAY the kook Hopkins tries to portray him as.
WARNING: Prepare to be as COMPLETELY OUTRAGED as I was after you read the following affidavit.
Signed,

[Excerpt]
SWORN AFFIDAVIT OF Dr. STEVEN J KURZWEIL:
I originally became interested in the UFO subject by meeting Harry Levelson, a writer for OMNI Magazine who told me about cattle mutilations and urged I attend an APRO meeting. I was not very impressed with the meeting, but rather with an attractive woman named Joan Thompson who appeared to be one of the few non-strange looking people at the meeting. Ms. Thompson and (UNREADABLE) friends and later together we attended a MUFON meeting held in Boston. (This was about 1981.)
Ms. Thompson explained that she was an employee of the CIA and urged that I work with Mr. Budd Hopkins to help with his research (1982). Mr. Hopkins explained that he likewise WAS AN EMPLOYEE OF THE CIA "I'm the abduction specialist for them," [said Budd Hopkins]. He was extremely concerned that the cover-up be maintained lest "there be a revolution in this country." He fearfully told me that "a lot of people" have been abducted and, "we don't know what the UFOs did to them; I wrote the book to find out who had been abducted ('Missing Time'); the government has to get those people out of the military; they (i.e., the CIA) thinks abductees may have been programmed" [for some unknown purpose/goal].
He was very upset about the amount of work required to investigate even one case. Mr. Hopkins said, "distrust the information passed on while under hypnosis." He was shocked by the after effects of abductions; people frequently committed suicide FOLLOWING his 'hypnotherapy'; many went on to become alcoholics or drug addicts such as Ms. Marcy Diexler.
I asked him why he did the hypnosis if it caused the psychological and psychiatric problems. He could offer no reply whatsoever despite repeated questioning. I myself was appalled by the inhumane and medically indecent standards of 'care' being applied to these victims of Nazi-like brutality.
By all medical standards, Mr. Hopkins was FURTHER CAUSING INJURY to individuals already in distress. He made NO provision for aftercare or follow-up. He displayed a complete lack of temperament and training (as well as a complete lack of compassion) for these people. Once he obtained his 'information,' he would drop these people like hot potatoes and left them on their own.
As a medical doctor I was disgusted; as an American, I was sickened at this maltreatment of our own people. I refused to cooperate with Hopkins and reported him to the medical authorities as being involved in harmful and extremely questionable activities that were anti-humanitarian as well as anti-American. He threatened to get revenge by reporting me as "mentally impaired" SINCE I believed in a government coverup and reported harassment. This, he claimed, was evidence of paranoid delusion.
The New York State Office of Professional Conduct was told lies (1989) about my involvement in the subject. The State is required by law to investigate ALL reports (even by non-patients) of possible physician impairment. When the psychiatrist interviewed me, I told him about the fact that the public knows nothing of this deplorable situation. He concluded that I was paranoid delusional (due to the telephone harassment) and that I was 'grandiose' since I had 'special knowledge.'
The psychiatrist is an 85-year-old man who believes he knows all there is to know from his textbooks on psychiatry. My medical license is now on the line and hence my entire future career! I would like to add that since I have been practicing medicine since 1968, there has NEVER been even ONE case of ANY patient of mine who questioned my professional expertise, personal integrity and ethical standards.
Since I originally reported Hopkins in 1983, I have received numerous telephone calls at all hours; notices from funeral parlors, interruption of my medical practice by 'a third party' answering my line giving misinformation out to patients resulting in complete chaos to my office and grief to myself. This was told to me by Ms. Avonile Blackman, my telephone secretary (1984). An 'extra-cross connection' or illegal tap was reported on my phone by Charles Lauretano of the N.Y. Telephone Company.
My life has been A NIGHTMARE EVER SINCE standing up and speaking out for my rights and as a patriotic American citizen!

Subject: Budd Hopkins responds to allegations that he's a covert USG intell op!
VICTOR: I would like to briefly respond to your comments about this article. I am a clinical hypnotherapist who has worked with extraterrestrial experiencers for 17 years. I am also an experiencer, so I DO KNOW what is going on in that regard.
Two of my encounters did involve the military (13 or 14 years ago). My doctorate is in parapsychology with a specialized area of extraterrestrial encounters and how it relates to spirituality.
While I have heard both Budd Hopkins and Stan Friedman speak on numerous occasions, and find them interesting, I can't vouch for their authenticity in any way. I did speak with Budd once while I was at a convention (L.A. in 1992, I think), and he was very open about sharing his techniques with working with alien abductees. As a beginning hypnotherapist at the time, I thought that was pretty cool. However, I personally know Dr. Steven Greer and I believe he is the "real McCoy." I have been to MANY training seminars that Dr. Greer has conducted. He has dedicated these past years in getting at the TRUTH, and has been VERY OPEN WITH THE PUBLIC about it. Being an experiencer himself, he DOES HAVE AN INSIDE TRACK on what that experience is all about. Also, many experiencers feel a huge spiritual connection to certain extraterrestrials, our planet, and others.
As we all know by now, there is a lot more there than meets the eye. Anyway, I know this may sound a little convoluted, but I did want to GIVE MY SUPPORT to Dr. Steven Greer. I believe if he is allowed to get his disclosure project
out in the open, the planet will be a much better place.
Thanks for listening.

Subject: Budd Hopkins responds to allegations that he's a covert USG intell operative!
Hi VICTOR:
You certainly kicked over a CAN OF WORMS with this one! First off, THANK YOU for your continuing stream of interesting and informative articles; I appreciate being a recipient.
Secondly, please allow me to join the fray re: Hopkins, Friedman (and Cooper and Greer) and Boylan.
http://www.intrudersfoundation.org/inside.html
I have nothing but the HIGHEST RESPECT for Budd and Stan. They've stoically suffered the indignities of success in this field and should be commended and respected by everyone – both in and out of the UFO community – for their professionalism and DESIRE TO DISCERN THE TRUTH, wherever the evidence leads, about the conundrum of UFOs and related phenomena (or what we believe to be related).
Greer and Cooper, on the other hand, chose a different course. Whether it was ego driven or something else, they chose the course of sensationalism and self-seeking, self-serving publicity which overrides ANY truths they might stumble across during the course of their lives.
Cooper, at one time a close friend, was especially vulnerable to his quest for acceptance. Many of his friends will recall early-morning telephone calls from Bill after he'd bolstered his courage with spirits [alcohol].
Greer seems to gather his courage from the strength of others. For years, I held Dr. Greer in high esteem; likewise his colleague, Shari Adamiak. Her unfortunate death left Greer adrift, and his subsequent egomaniacal wanderings attest to that. Shari was his anchor; Greer hasn't been "right" since she died.
As for Boylan and his followers,
the best I can say is that they provide a counterpoint that makes most Raelians seem sane! Their incessant worship of the aliens reveals them for the sniveling sycophants they truly are. Boylan and his ilk are the Neville Chamberlains of our age. Sad....

From: ANGELINA
angelpig11@yahoo.com / Tuesday, July 19, 2005, 9:56 a.m.
Subject: Budd Hopkins responds to allegations that he's a covert USG intell operative!
VICTOR: Has anyone ever considered Dr. Greer's or anyone else's abductions as a product of PROJECT BLUEBEAM?!
In my personal opinion, I do believe in extraterrestrial life, BUT I don't believe they [aliens] are abducting; I believe covert government propaganda and PROJECT BLUEBEAM are the reasons humans experience abductions,... or that they are government controlled experiments on genetics that are highly illegal and they blame it on alien abductions.
This disclosure of Dr Greer's will never happen as the government can't disclose their own lies and experiments. If aliens actually had intelligence to make it to planet Earth, they would then do a massive announcement to the entire world – en masse – and they would definitely either greet us in peace OR annilhilate us immediately.
Dr Greer has made some strange announcements such as support of the "Galactic Federation" (which is a DISinformation propaganda lie along with MIB's). This is the government cover story for the made up bullshit. I ask anyone and everyone: IF ALIENS ARE OR HAVE BEEN HERE, THEN WHERE ARE THEY?! AND THEY CERTAINLY AREN'T GOING TO BE HOSTILE TO EARTH,... AS WE ARE A COLONY OF THE VEGA SYSTEM (Atlantis/Lemuria/Sumerian)
best regards,

Subject: Budd Hopkins responds to allegations that he's a covert USG intell operative!
VICTOR: Budd, an agent of disinformation?! Come'on.... that´s a VERY BAD JOKE, Victor! There have been very few times in my life that I have ever met a person with Budd's high and distinctive qualities. He is A GREAT MAN, A GREAT UFO RESEARCHER and Ufology is in debt to him for a very long time. If he is an agent of disinformation, then we need a few more hundred Budd Hopkins! –

Subject: Budd Hopkins responds to allegations that he's a covert USG intell operative!
VICTOR: Budd Hopkins IS THE REAL DEAL. He regressed me in the presence of a board certified psychologist in 1989 and he came all the way from NYC to meet me in Toledo, OH, for the session out of his own pocket and would NOT accept any payment from me. As far as I am concerned, he is THE BEST, IMHO.
If I wanted to know who was involved in a covert action, I would investigate Peter Jennings!

Subject: Budd Hopkins responds to allegations that he's a covert USG intell operative!
To: Mr BUDD HOPKINS:
I wish to stress that my experiences with Mr Budd Hopkins, and Whitley Strieber, both of whom I believe myself personally to have worked for the intelligence community, have been VERY POSITIVE.
Nothing negative has happened in my life. Mr. Budd Hopkins, next time you go out and look for a job, make it a simple job that doesn´t interfere with the privacy of people. You and I are living in a world currently that is filled with multidimensional realities and extraterrestrial contact.
What you did in some of your books and on your Web site was to attack certain people like William Milton Cooper who were trying to expose the truth, and you did that in a way that could not have possibly exposed you for working for anything else than an intelligence organization or something like the CIA. But my experience with you, has been ENTIRELY POSITIVE. My experience with the Intruders Foundation, has been ENTIRELY POSITIVE.
I had many joys sending e-mails to the IF and receiving replies from the IF, and in fact, you, Mr Hopkins, are one of my heroes from childhood, that is, I looked very much up to you when I was a child, and still do presently as an adult. You see, sometimes it is better to simply admit the truth rather than to hide it, but if you choose to hide the truth, it´s your choice.
But I wish to stress, that the law of karma has no moral consequence, and therefore, no moral awareness. We can get out of the Matrix and unplug ourselves in two ways: one way is to do it fast, which I did. The other way, is to do it slowly, which I feel you have chosen to do. Anyway, because the Matrix is beginning to collapse, you and all the people of this planet, including Stanton Friedman, myself, AND Mr. Victor Martinez, are in a state of emotional turmoil.
Mr. Budd Hopkins, I wish to tell you in the final message of my e-mail to you, that I have ordered a copy of your book, "SIGHT UNSEEN," and believe it to be the BEST BOOK YOU HAVE EVER WRITTEN. The reason for why all this is happening so fast, is that it needs to happen fast. The Illuminati are now exposed, and people like myself, David Icke and others who know the truth and have been trying to tell it to people like you, are no longer regarded as "conspiracists."
The age of fear towards the hostility of extraterrestrial life and an alien invasion, the so-called ´alien card´ of the Illuminati, disappeared before it was even conceived,
Regards,
