Giuliana | Hello, David, you mentioned that they (aliens) seem to
work for a common goal. My multiple question to you is; what is the
common goal? ...and do you find any similarity, parallel, between the
experiences with aliens and what is experienced through
meditation...NDE...and use of drugs? GA
David M.
Jacobs | The common goal is the
physiological exploitation of humans for the purposes of their
breeding
program. I do find a few surface similarities between the abduction
phenom, and these other areas but actually they are very different.
One must keep in mind that people are physically missing from their
normal environments, other peopel some times see them being abducted,
and they often desparately wish that they are never abducted
again.GA
Tracy/Moderator | Giuliana, follow-up question?GA
Giuliana | no
Tracy/Moderator | Matt, you're next.GA
Giuliana | thank you, David and Tracy. GA
Matt | Dr. Jacobs, what precautions do you take to minimize
accusations of inducing false memories? this is a common objection to
hypnosis. In "Secret Life", for example, you ask straight out for
abductees to try to remember entering the craft.... just the sort of
thing a critic might point to as inducing a false memory? ga
David M.
Jacobs | I address the false memory
problem at length in my new book. Abductions happen to people the
night before rather than forty years agao as a child. They are not
brought out through therapists intervention. They are often
remembered as soon as they happened and never forgotten. And, others
see people being abducted and they might or might not be abducted
themselves. People are phsyically missing from their
environments--police have been
called and so forth (just had computer glitch sorry.) the problem of
asking leading questions is another story...GA
Tracy/Moderator | Matt, follow-up question?GA
Matt | just a comment - its good to address the isssue seriously and
at length. I agree abductions are not false memories and this
objection needs to be put to rest. ga
Tracy/Moderator | Robin, you're next.GA
"ECL Robin | David, It has been my impression that Reptiles are very
negative. Why would they be working with other species who are
supposedly working for our benefit? In addition, do you suppose the
abduction/contact phenomena follows one from lifetime to
lifetime?
David M.
Jacobs | I have heard fairly awful
things about all the aliens. I think that people think that the more
repitilian ones are worse because of the way they look. I am not sure
that the evidence bears out their meaness.
Once we get into other lives, my expertize drops to nothing. ga
Tracy/Moderator | Robin, follow-up question?GA
"ECL Robin | thanks. ga
Pete P./ExecSYSOP | Dr. Jacobs, as Budd Hopkins is your friiend too,
do you agree with each others findings?
Susanne | ?
Shannon K./ASYSOP | ?
David M.
Jacobs | We agree in the main. He tends
to find the aliens more deceptive than I do at times. I think that
the aliens are more straightforward. We disagree on government
involvement and other more terrestrial things. I tend also to
emphasize the role of mental procedures in the abduction scenario
more than Budd does. There are other areas of disagreement.GA"
Tracy/Moderator | Pete, follow-up question?GA
Pete P./ExecSYSOP | How do you think his book Witness will be
received? ga
David M.
Jacobs | Well, there has already been a
lot of discussion about the case in the past five years. I am glad
that
the book is finally out to set the record straight. I think that the
book is being released at exactly the right time because of the
tremendous amount of societal interest in the subject. So, I am
hoping that the book does well. Good, thoughtful writing about the
subject is in short supply.ga
Tracy/Moderator | Debbie, you're next.GA
Debbie F./SYSOP | Do you have any insight as to the level of covert
operations or military involvement in abductions and/or
hybridization? Thanks, GA
David M.
Jacobs | I have found no evidence that
the government knows about or cares about the abduction phenomenon.
GA
Debbie F./SYSOP | thanks, GA
Tracy/Moderator | Debbie, follow-up?GA
Debbie F./SYSOP | no, thanks ga
Tracy/Moderator | Susanne, you're next.GA
Susanne | What do you think the general age for people discovering
their involvement occurs? Do you think younger people go through more
or less trauma? or is it the same?.. Also <sorry>... do you
think younger people are finding out more now a days ...than lets
say...10 years ago or more? ga
"ECL Robin | ?
David M.
Jacobs | Good questions. People vary
about when they understand that something odd is happening to them.
Abductions generally begin in infancy and go through old age. When
they are young, abductions tend to be remembered more than when
abductees are adults. Younger people, in general, go through less
trauma because the reproductive procedures do not begin for boys
untll puberty, and the sexual procedures for girls begin at the same
time. I do think that younger people are more aware now because they
can identify it easier in the media and connect it with what has been
happening to them.ga
Tracy/Moderator | Susanne, follow-up question?GA
Susanne | No, thanks. Ga :)
Tracy/Moderator | Shannon, you're next.GA
Shannon K./ASYSOP | Hi David...I wanted to ask if either you or Budd
Hopkins have ever felt as if you or your families might also be
abductees? Have you ever had reason to believe/suspect that this
might be possible?
David M.
Jacobs | Neither I nor Budd are
abductees. My mother and my father were not abductees and my
children
are not. All would be if I were an abductee.ga
Tracy/Moderator | Shannon, follow-up?GA
Shannon K./ASYSOP | No thanks.
Tracy/Moderator | Robin, you're next.GA
"ECL Robin | In the abduction/contact scenario do you find that it is
limited to the 'breeding' program or is there
more to it for some people?
David M. Jacobs
| There is more to it than that,
although the breeding program is the core of it. We are still
wrestling with the mental procedures and their meaning. Also
hybridization inevitably points to a future for the
hybrids.GA
Tracy/Moderator | Robin, follow-up question?GA
"ECL Robin | could you get a bit more in detail about that?
David M.
Jacobs | People are shown disaster
scenarios, of death and destruction. They are also shown scenes of
idyllic peace. What are the meaning of these displays? Why are the
hybrids being created in the first place? These are important
questions that we are only now beginning to address.GA
Tracy/Moderator | May, you're next.GA
May | Some people feel that the ETs have caused some people to come
together and eventually get into a romantic situation. Do you think
this is part of their hybridization program? GA
David M. Jacobs
| Yes, this is part of the scenario and
I believe part of the breeding program, but I am not sure that
it is part of hybridization. I tend to think that there are certain
qualities that the abductees have that the beings would like to be
passed on to their offspring.GA
Tracy/Moderator | May, follow-up question?GA
May | Thanks David & Tracy. no followup. GA
Tracy/Moderator | If that's all of the questions, I think the
conference is formally over. Dr. Jacobs, thank you for sharing your
time with us!! It was a great and informative conference. We're
looking forward to your upcoming book and having you back again to
talk with us further.
David M.
Jacobs | Thanks Tracy. It was fun!
