Interesting now the debunkers debunk themselves. Note the post below is a forum post at godlikeproductions and is not from me.

"Re: GLP was an "Aussie Bloke" experiment! so says the Monitors"

"I have no doubt that this message will be cross-posted, copied, pasted, and spread just as far and wide as my original "Monitors" message.

In less than 24 hours, you have all embraced an entirely fake post that offered NO corroborative evidence and NO verifiable proof of anything.

Like many of you, I was on the fence regarding AB, N&W, and even Lyros to some extent. Part of me remains convinced that an intelligent person, or group, can easily construct a plausible scenario that many people will believe in, simply because it SOUNDS good.

I could have left "The Monitors" (which, by the way, was taken from an old Space: Above and Beyond episode, for those of you who remember that awesome TV show), but I´m really not interested in sending people into mental institutions or home foreclosure, because they lost their minds over something they read on the internet.

This should clearly illustrate to you all that you NEED to improve your BS filters when you read something on the net. There are organized groups operating even now that will generate a hoax just for the bragging rights of doing it. If AB/N&W is a hoax, they are right now patting themselves on the backs and congratulating each other.

Honestly, I don´t know if it´s real, if any of it´s real, but I had to throw "The Monitors" into the mix to prove a point that MANY other posters have been shouting at you ever since this began.

It took me all of 15 minutes to write the "Monitors" message. If someone REALLY wanted to do their homework, ask some questions, and take some notes, they could create a story that most of us would be hard-pressed to refute.

Sure, I upset a lot of people, but you guys needed a wake up call. STOP BELIEVING EVERYTHING YOU READ ON THE INTERNET. Yes, mainstream media often misses or intentionally buries news items, and sites like GLP can be valuable resources in finding news that falls through the holes, but stories like AB´s go beyond all that, and delve deeply into the realm of complete and utter internet hoax.

Just look at what the reactions to my message were. Some people refused to believe that AB could be anything but the gospel. Some people realized it was a hastily prepared scam. Some people saw it as a logical explanation that reinforced something they´d been thinking all along.

In short, your reactions to my post were very much in line with your reactions to AB and the like.

I know you´ll all require proof that "The Monitors" message is a fake, and that I´m the one who did it. So, here goes.

BLIND SKIES is the proof - totally made it up on the spot, because it sounded good. AB kept saying look to the skies, but so many people weren´t seeing anything, so it sounded good. I googled it myself, and was surprised that the first hit actually had to do with asteroids. I laughed a little, but then included that part about COINCIDENCE as a result of my google experience. I picked it out of the blue, people, and it "hit" when searched on!

When I ´quoted´ AB and said LOOK TO THE SKIES and INVESTIGATE FOR YOURSELF, I fully expected you to do web searches on BLIND SKIES, and quickly learn that it probably doesn´t exist, never has, never will. I was a little surprised that the anagram hunters didn´t make an appearance (maybe they did and I missed it). Before I posted, I checked to make sure there´d be no "hits" on anagrams, and the closest I saw that you MIGHT latch onto was DISIN BS ELK.

I insinuated government "affiliation" ("The Monitors" never stated they WERE the government, yet many inferred that), because I knew that would add even more credibility. Many of you are convinced that TPTB are untrustworthy (and perhaps they are), so by adding that element, I insured that those disaffected people would likely get on board with my message.

Honestly and seriously, I don´t know if AB is telling the truth. Part of me wants to believe, and part of me just can´t accept it. I think the preponderance of evidence is against "him", thanks largely to the efforts of other posters on GLP who did the homework and dug for the truth.

Why are all the navies leaving port? I don´t know, but just because none of us know, it doesn´t mean AB is right. Whether you choose to believe it or not, coincidences DO happen.

In closing, I think you should read these articles on paranoia and conspiracy theory. I´ve seen them linked in a few other places, so now they´re on GLP, where maybe they can do the most good.
