June 17, 2002: Cosmic Deception - Dr. Steven M. Greer | Bell Witch - Neal Sibley
Greer contends that legitimate extraterrestrial contact has occurred but has been buried under layers of deliberate disinformation. He references Werner von Braun's deathbed warnings about a manufactured space threat and Ronald Reagan's speeches about uniting against an alien enemy. Art challenges him on whether benign aliens would truly tolerate humanity's aggression, and Greer responds that extraterrestrials have demonstrated their displeasure by disabling ICBMs rather than attacking.
In the second half, Neal Sibley presents the history of the Bell Witch haunting of 1817 to 1821 in Adams, Tennessee. The entity spoke in multiple voices, quoted scripture with total accuracy, manifested tropical fruits, and ultimately claimed responsibility for poisoning John Bell, saying God had permitted the act to benefit future generations.
Key Moments
Greer's Wright-Patterson exchange on alien hostility: Greer recounts being asked at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in 1993 whether ETs are hostile, telling the FAST-D colonel that given what humans are capable of, the fact they have not destroyed us proves they are not hostile in any human sense.
Greer: Army Ranger ran fake abductions: Greer describes interviewing a former Army Ranger who admitted being part of a covert team that used special vehicles to abduct other military personnel and stage extraterrestrial abuse - and references a similar staged event involving UN Secretary-General Perez de Cuellar.
Iron Mountain and a manufactured space threat: Greer ties the deception strategy to the 1960s Report from Iron Mountain - the recommendation to fabricate a threat from outer space to justify a continuing trillion-dollar military-industrial complex - and adds that 'Murder Incorporated' has already killed to protect the secret.
Bell Witch origin: the disappearing dog-thing: Sibley sets the 1818 Tennessee scene: 65-year-old John Bell encounters a strange dog-like animal on the back of his farm, fires his flintlock at it, and watches it vanish into thin air - the first sign of the four-year haunting.
The witch mimicked the preacher's prayer: Sibley says after a preacher came to pray over the Bell home, the entity developed a voice and the first intelligible thing it spoke was a perfect, voice-accurate regurgitation of the preacher's own prayer back at the family.
