Quotes

• If I had wanted to distract anyone, I would not have chosen ufology, as this opens me up to ridicule.
  • 'UFO Hacker' Tells What He Found (June 21, 2006)

• The main enemy of the people is the state. The state does everything it can do to get more and more control over people’s lives and access to more of their data while cutting down on personal freedom and choice. No government ever undoes the unpopular legislation of the previous government, no government ever gives back to the people what a previous government has taken from them. The attack on the Human rights act is symptomatic of this general drive by the state to have more control and curtail our freedoms.
