Good day all. I found a link to this website typing in Erin Green Hicks fraud on Google. I watched about 10 minutes of the video on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4Vij4LsVO4) and then skipped around a tad. For a half human/half alien from a parallel dimension related to billionaires, she doesn't have much charisma and appears to be pre-scripted. Either way, she is most definitely full of shit and I couldn't stop laughing. Anyone watched this and have anything to say?

I honestly can't tell if she's lying or not, I'm tempted to say she's just crazy.

She is just crazy about that. Not matter she is right or not..?

Hello danmo783 and allen, and welcome into the lifeboat ! This is our greeting for all new members and contains some useful stuff for you.

Hi - we've had the topic before from a new member

& lots of other new members joined in - some with only one post & never to return.

Welcome!

Oh yes, I certainly have and fwiw, I sure do (and intend to). Beforehand, however, it seems the most basic of etiquette that I say hello.

Since I too felt compelled to join following exposure to Erin-Green-Hicks-Rothschild-Sinclair-et al, starting a whole new thread seemed wasteful and I figured I'd just offer salutations on this one.

Please forgive the transgression if this greeting is premature. Admittedly, I haven't examined the Welcome Pack yet because I didn't want to risk forgetting the finer points of what I'd like to contribute to this discussion. It's clear now that the best plan would be to make some notes as reminders and peruse the forum rules before further posting - I should maybe even have deleted this one, but what can I say, I got excited.

I should say up front that while I will endeavor not to repeat this (it has been my intention to join up for some time), I may regrettably end up doing so in the short term. Should this occur, let me explain beforehand that I'm really, really trying to be disciplined enough to finish my [long overdue] dissertation, already (srsly, it's pathetic). I won't say how long ago I should have been done because it's completely shameful. Suffice it to say, I'm prone to hyper-focused distraction and I have absolutely got to cut the crapola. So should I find I'm hanging around too much, I may need to cut myself off for a time - in that case, though, rest assured I'll be back. If there is one thing I cannot stay away from, it's good critical/scientifically-minded discourse.

I actually can't think of a more genuine or a more appropriate way to introduce myself than that last sentence up there, so I shall leave it at that for now.

I look forward to communicating with everyone.
