Isn't that the likely explanation about what was being done with MJ12 and Moore too? That was Cold War tracking and infiltration? [They wanted their text ideas kept with all the exact spelling and wording. Nothing was to be altered.
Don't you think Doty was caught red-handed with the IP addresses on the SERPO matter? That's what Mirage Men learned. Doty was acting and spoofing as several people contacting Victor Martinez. Wasn't Martinez the source and target contact [in 2005] for SERPO with his list-server mailing-list of UFO people, and then the emails he got privately were from Doty's persona's too? I assume Doty may have been on that list as one or more of those spoof persona's, but he would know of Victor regardless with his UFO-list.
Here's why I'm so interested in your opinion as to why you think it is still likely a "government operation"...
Wasn't Doty long since retired from the military? Decades or more? You think he was still acting for "the government" in some capacity or some "connected" third party? Why not just for himself? He didn't leave the military on the best of terms as an OSI agent, nor was he liked by many in the UFO community.
I just want to understand your reasoning about that; I fully understand no one "knows" the truth except what Doty knows he did.
Do you think Doty was telling "the truth" in Mirage Men EXCEPT for his denial about SERPO ??? His other explanations in Mirage Men about Bennewitz and LMH really seemed accurate or not far off the mark intentionally. Comments?
Did you buy-in to Doty's explanation in Mirage Men about how he was indoctrinated and "read in" to that top secret program about the ET-UFO crashes, live alien "talking", etc.? He thought initially that it was BS, and then he says he believed it as being real after the briefing -rather than being a target of a PSYOP himself. Maybe he was PSYOP'd right from the beginning? He says this Colonel wouldn't have been briefing a group of men for the purposes of a hoax. Why not just PSYOP him. That's real. That is not a hoax. Is Doty still playing "the game" gaming the audience with more BS?
Of course MJ 12 as a disinfo op was the likely explanation about what was being done with Moore. I think I have said this. So has Moore.
If someone has ever worked for the government in a capacity where their talents can be used, they can be used again. It's even better if they're not on the payroll as there is no paper trail. I will change my statement about SERPO somewhat. There is no guarantee that it was a government operation, but there was someone or some group that wanted that information to get out for some purpose. It probably had nothing to do with UFOs or aliens. It might have had more to do with some private entity doing something government-related.
I can't remember what Doty said in MM. What I remember was that he said essentially what he told me. I don't believe everything he says. The point was to check his statements against what others had said and see if it matched. If so, I included it in the narrative, if not, I didn't, or I qualified it.
P.S. I don't talk much about this stuff any more because it really makes no difference at this point.
The lessons I came away with were:
1) Have a good B.S. detector. Things are often released with certain people's biases in mind.
2) You have to play the intel game to get anything. If you are afraid of being lied to, don't play.
3) Your ego is your enemy.
4) Shut up about what you find until you are done with the project. Maybe even after that.
5) The government probably doesn't know much more than we do, but they will use public perceptions of the UFO subject for many purposes.
A good example of the spy mindset as presented in a film was "Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind," believe it or not.
