Dear Dr. Greer - where's my $300?

Just over two years ago, Disclosure guru Dr. Steven Greer made some wacky claims that he and others were involved in some very hush-hush work on free energy systems, and that the world would hear about it soon. A transcript of those claims can be found at:

My original response to his comments can be found at:

The thread on Updates went on for a couple of more days, and finally I decided to flush out the grouse, a practise we in Canada call "putting your money where your mouth is". So, I bet $100 (at VERY generous 3 to 1 odds) that no such announcement would be forthcoming anytime soon, ie. within a year. See:

www.virtuallystrange.net/ufo/updates/2003/feb/m11-014.shtml

A year passed, and nothing. Well, I thought, perhaps my definition of "soon" is different than the good doctor's, so I extended (in my own mind) the deadline by another year. That year has now passed. No word on a free energy breakthrough. "Soon" can only be stretched so far...

So, to Dr. Greer, I can only say...

"Where's my $300??"

Of course, Dr. Greer never took my bet. Why would he? It's all hooey (for those so inclined, you can check out the "hooey" at www.seaspower.com).

I just wish he had. I can always use the money - it would help fund my next trip to Vegas, a very worthy cause, let me assure you.

It would also be nice to see him have to shell some out for a change, as opposed to raking it in off of the gullible ranks of the "Disclosure Brigades".

Oh well - maybe I'll try Lotto 649.

As long as they are, the odds there are probably better than those you get betting on Dr. Greer.
