Dr. Barry E. Taff and Your Questions and Comments

[Dr. Barry E. Taff]

I want to thank you for bringing this matter to my attention. Whether you know it or not, I've developed cataracts in both eyes and can barely see at all. I thought that I severed my assocation with SRI but apparently I did not. Given my deteriorated visual acuity, I'm having great difficulty to doing things I"ve always taken for normal, In fact, there's a fund raising page on line regarding my medical situation a Montauk Chronicles.com or at Dr. Barry Taff's Catatract Surgery Funraising page. I wish to really thank you very much for bringing this matter to my attention. I'm counting on people like yourself to assist me at this time. If that wasn't bad enough, they've apparently modified and re-writting my bio which I did not swee until now. The correct one should state that I"ve been working in this field of approximautely 44 years with almost 4,500 cases.

I just sent SRI a notice telling them that I am formally ending my association I had with them. Thank you again for your making me aware of my literal and figurative shortsightedness regarding SRI. I lost my health insurance three years ago as I could no longer afford the premiums, there I'm not in any way covered to medical problems like cataracts. However, given the my required surgeries run about $16,000 and insurance only pays about $800, insurance wouldn't even make a dent in my situation here.

I had read about your eyesight condition and really hope that the operations can be done soon and will be successful. Thanks again for taking the time for the interview and answering our questions despite that condition.

It wouldn't be the first time that an organisation over-exaggerates things to look more important. Still, they are a non-profit organisation as it seems, so not much harm done, I guess?

There was one case discussed in chapter one of my book that details an incredible encounter we had in 1970 here in Los Angeles. During the investigation of that case an apparition appeared and tried to kill me that looked exactly like the deceased man who used to live in the house we were in. However, we didn't know what that even looked like and this event was witnessed by more than one dozen people. Does this qualify as an encounter with survived, disembodied consciousness? Perhaps?

I read about that in the book. Maybe you'll understand that this is really out there with the most incredible stories I've ever heard. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around that. Do you think 'it' was manipulating your perception (and that of the other witnesses)? I mean, the poor fellow who got 'possessed' (?) and attacked you couldn't really have his appearance changed. Or was the "apparition" kind of superimposed on his body? That's really weird stuff...

 

[Dr. Barry E. Taff]

Having intelligent, cogent discussions with like-minded indivduals in this forum is really wonderful and I very much appreciate the opportunity to communicate with all the people in the forum. It's always important that we all share what's going on out here in the real world with each other. I am very thankful that my lingering and distorted relationship with SRI was brought to my attention as with my poor vision I cannot see much of anything, besides have really bad headaches.

That's what I'm here for.

Dr. Taff, sorry to hear about your health problems. Getting older in America shouldn't mean feeling less financially secure. We have done a reprehensible job of dealing with the needs of our population.

Any chance of "Aliens Above Ghosts Below" becoming available in e book format on Barnes and Noble?

Mainly--Please stick around the forum! Your insights and opinions are much needed and appreciated.

Statement from Irene Allen-Block, Founder & President of Spirit Rescue International:

I don't even know why I am lowering myself to answer the statements posted on this forum but I feel I must. Before I start this is being posted for me by SRI VP / Case Manager and good friend Lon Strickler on my behalf, as I have no desire to join this forum. I have a forum of my own where, if I want, I can play these silly games. This is to you S.R.L. It seems to me as if you have some sort of vendetta going on between you and Barry Taff. Now I know you will say 'No' but I do not believe that. Maybe it was because it looked as if you were losing your point that you dragged SRI into your little scenario even though we had nothing to do with it or this topic.

Now to get to what you wrote.

First...Barry Taff was, as he said, a consultant. SRI had no need to use his acumen and my main mistake was to keep him on the website out of pity. The link to his book was done out of the kindness of my heart in an effort to help him sell his book, which I am sure it did.

Now to the questions.

1. The headquarter country of SRI has nothing to do with you...you are not involved in any way with SRI, so why should it even come into question.

2. The occupations of my team also have nothing to do with you. Although I will say they come from varied backgrounds, including the medical and legal fields

3. My education credentials have no bearing to the conversation...I am not asking you for a job. But I will say I have kept to American spelling to help you understand what I am saying.

4. The finances of SRI are covered fully by myself....next you will be asking me for my credit card details. Once again my private life has nothing to do with you or you queries. I would appreciate it if you would keep your nose on the end of your face instead of poking it into other peoples private affairs. The advertising on my website is placed free of charge as favors to friends. If you had taken time to look you would of noticed that there is no connection to SRI at all...besides, that is none of your business anyway.

5. I don't need to make any appearances...let alone with Barry Taff, who I should of kicked off of SRI long ago if I hadn't been so soft. As for remote viewing, let's start with you. I can already see your overweight and have a fascination for playing with something in your pocket. Where I come from its called 'pocket billiards' so that statement should give you an idea to where SRI is situated.

In the future, before you start slagging off organizations and web sites you know nothing about, get both sides of the story. If you had come to me instead of sneaking around behind my back I would of welcomed your interest and given you a full insight of how SRI works. I would have allowed you to listen, on Skype, to our team conferences which we have done for others in the past.

I expect my comments will be deleted. Not to worry though...I intend to write a blog about this very experience and I may even incorporate a whole page to it on my website. That is all I intend to say about this matter on this forum.

Have a nice day.

You are free to correct what you perceive to be misstatements about you and your organization. But if you are just going to stonewall any legitimate question about who you are and simply dismiss anyone who has a different point of view, it's hard to take you seriously.

No, I'm not deleting your post. But I do think that, having put yourself in the crosshairs here by posting a response, you should expect that people are going to ask you to explain yourself further, or prove that your version of matters that may be under dispute is the correct one.

Hit and runs don't make it here!

Spirit Rescue International? Give me a break! At first I thought SRI stood for Stanford Research Institute. Reminds me of Greer using the name: Project Starlight. Very original. The above-quote demonstrates a high level of intelligence. Very professional.

The decision has been made: The Paracast Team is going to send a mole inside the organization to find out what is really happening. We are asking for volunteers.

Irene: I would welcome you to this forum as I welcomed Dr. Taff, however I do not think you would be able to hear me from your lofty perch, as it is not too bad down here. I will give you the benefit of the doubt, as the statement given was not as from a true medium, but rather from an emotionally distressed individual. For in the end Irene, it is not I who brought misfortune to your doorstep, but rather you, by virtue of your association with Barry Taff. You need not answer any questions, as you have already painted yourself in a poor light.

 

[Lon Strickler]

Hi - I'm not speaking for Irene in this instance but only as a colleague and close friend who may be able to set a few things in balance.

First of all, Irene does not favor the moniker 'medium' - she does not directly communicate with discarnate entities. She does have the ability to channel but that is used only under extreme conditions. Her psychic gifts have been with her since she was a child. She has been very reserved about her abilities for the vast majority of her life. I suppose I can take blame for some of the misunderstanding by others because I have encouraged her to open up more over recent years. Spirit Rescue International has actually been around for about 4 years or so and initially the cases were handled very quietly. The name was derived from the act of 'spirit rescue' and that this is an 'international' group. There was no covert reason for the name / initials - the process was completely benign.

What we do as a team is very difficult to explain to people who are not intimately familiar with the spirit world. If you go to the website and read how we respond and resolve cases I'm sure you will get a better appreciation of what we do. SRI uses techniques unfamiliar with most groups who claim to deliver, clear or exorcise earthbound and non-spiritual entities.

We use scientific and coordinate remote viewing techniques - very similar to those methods employed by Project Stargate and other international governments. The specifics of how we were disciplined and trained will not be disclosed - but I assure you, it is not as clandestine as some people may think. I will state that you cannot simple read a book or listen to audio recordings to learn what we refer to as 'astral perception'. These techniques have proven to be constructive when combined with objective interview, team consultation, extensive research and psychic skill, including the use of clairaudience, clairsentinence and clairvoyance capabilities.

Without going into further specifics, I'll simply say that we are a very serious organization who dedicate our time in helping those who have no where else to go. We do not accept funds for our services and we do not seek celebrity. Because of our intended sincerity, Irene becomes impassioned when people make false statements and preconceived notions about our undertaking. I hope you will consider this when posting opinions. Lon

 

[trainedobserver]

I just had an enormous belly-laugh reading Irene Allen-Block's post by proxy. What a spiritual giant! Spiritual rescue indeed.

Those types of reactions are to be expected anytime someone like this has their fantasy world spoken of in anything but glowing terms. Think Micheal Horn, Scientology, and so forth. I think we saw something of her true self in that post, the ugliness of which was apparently obvious to Lon who felt the need to attempt to spread some salve on the gaping wound she made in her credibility here. We are not rubes here and you are immensely transparent.

And Gene, kuddos to you man. Also, thank you for not deleting her post. It should remain there to be found by those who might one day seek her aid in spiritual matters. Know what I mean Gene? (Sorry, couldn't resist)

A last resort with special or unique knowledge that cannot be disclosed or learned from another source. What is this starting to sound like?

Agent 99 has been remote viewing them for the past week or so. All she is getting is smoke and the smell of cheese. We're putting her back on finding Gene's lost iPod.

 

[Lon Strickler]

I can appreciate the fact that my explanation of SRI may not change your acumen of what we do for our clients. Ridicule and mockery is a normal response by those who are obtuse or simply indifferent to alternate realities and the use of subspace observation. Thanks for your time and consideration.

 

[Gene Steinberg]

For the record: I ridiculed nobody. I just insisted on a reality check. Accusations and labels don't help clarify issues here. Let's move beyond that.

As an alternative to mainstream media people use the Internet. The so-called “alternative” media is rife with disinformation/and or misinformation. There is a glut of people pushing their books, seminars, DVDs, etc; everything from Nazi UFOs to remote viewing. I don’t have a problem with people profiting from legitimate endeavors; if people can earn a living doing what they enjoy more power to them. I draw the line when it involves deception, and fraud, with the only consideration being profit. When Gene Steinberg asks certain people to substantiate, or corroborate claims, they launch a personal attack against him. I don’t think that is right. They try to pull him down to their level. A quote from Bob Dylan: “While he, who sings with his tongue on fire, gargles in the rat race choir, bent out of shape by society’s pliers cares not to come up any higher but would rather get you down in the hole that he’s in.” I’m not implying that SRI is involved with deception or fraud. I’m not interested in what they are doing.

My sense of humor gets the best of me sometimes. One man's ridicule and mockery is another guys bad joke I guess. I'm sure your alternate reality is very nice.
