Aside from the ATS = CIA claim... I noticed that John speaks very highly and with pride of his time here at ATS. When he speaks of threads where there was good discussions, or how ATS members were at his side to prove or debunk something...he speaks with pride. I have no doubt that his problem with ATS is the management and not the members. It is obvious that he loved the board and members.Imho... Just as there was only one "real" James Bond..... Connery. To me there is only one "real" ATS Conspiracy Master..... Lear He should still be here, and unfortunately his departure is the members loss. nuff said!The few times I laughed out loud were both courtesy of Kerry.... the first was the look on John's face when she asked him who Jimmy Doolittle was... priceless...The second was when she referred to Minot AFB as Min-aw (using the French pronunciation) John eventually corrected her, but it went over like a lead balloon!!I was also very interested in his AIDS discussion, and how he is trying to get a certain plant/herb out of China that supposedly may hold the cure.His Bob Lazar out takes are hilarious... my favorite was how they would wipe Bob's memories after he interacted with a Grey.All in all I thought this was a fantastic interview with a member of our ATS Community. It breaks my heart the way things have worked out. I have lost much of the respect I had for Management because of the way John Lear was axed... but ATS is bigger than just S.O and Springer... and I have never been a brown noser. Sorry.. wish I could tow the company line on this one... say I won't watch the interview out of loyalty... but that is not to "Deny Ignorance", in fact it is just the opposite.Long Live John Lear
