Aztec Conference with Stan Romanek

[Dnold7X]

How did Stan get into the speaker schedule to promote his brand and market his story. The marketing plan for Stan Romanek must be really trying to push his story.

Is Peckman still riding the Romanek bandwagon? Talk about a cult of the ridiculous!

This is my first post on this forum! Oh well, to the topic at hand, I just returned from the UFO Congress in Laughling and Stan Romanek presented there. I did not see his presentation, but there were many sideline discussions about the validity of his claims, both pro and con.

There does appear to be a marketing plan, maybe informally, but I learned, through conversation that he has not only been invited to speak at this conference, but some international conferences in the UK. He was dressed at the Congress in a tux, and he looked all the part of an international presenter.

I'm not sure if Mr. Peckman is still supporting him, but people that have visited his home testify to stange anomoly taking place there. Did he not, however, at one time take a polygraph and fail it?
I think he did. He addressed that in some document that I read online, but do not recall exactly where right now.

Why do we honor Romanek with any discussion at all? It just fuels more interest in his nonsense. I can't imagine how there could be a pro versus con debate, since there is no evidence whatever for the first category.

People like to laugh at clowns?

Why brag about a ecounter unless its for $

I just want to know how Stan qot on the Aztec speaker schedule, since he has nothing to do with the Aztec case.

Unless his publicity agent or he did some demographics on the Aztec conference. If his book, movie deal included certain speaking schedules to PLUG, push, sell his brand, his logo, his overall product.

Good Day All,

Unfortunately, the folks running the Aztec Symposium have made a conscious choice to go New Age, or what I prefer to call "Woo-Woo." This began last year and attendance was good in both instances and the speakers, Romanek, et al, were well received; henceforth, you can expect to see more of the same.

This of course is a sad fact, as I viewed The Aztec Symposium as "a diamond in the rough" prior to the change, or what appears to be an agenda.

Cheers,
Frank

I'm noticing more and more of this...everyone wants to believe in something and the "UFO Cult" has become more enticing. People like Romanek, Micheal Lee Hill and their ilk are shamelessly promoted-and keep getting promoted. Possibly they are making the most noise and just telling people what the people want to hear. Possibly they are promoted by others very successfully as well.

Hope, which is the foundation of religion, has become the foundation for much UFOlogy these days. It seems like those "Prophets" of the new age are, well, ushers for a new religion; a religion devoted to these mysterious visitors who only visit the Romaneks, Greers, Hills and the other "prophets of a new age."

Then you may officially declare me "not everyone". I have no interest in "believing" in things, I want to KNOW things and until such time as they can BE known I'm content to live with the mystery and simply indulge in speculation.
