The long-hyped "Sirius" documentary created by the egotistical disinformation profiteer Dr. Stephen Greer was a total bust. Surprise surprise.
It was a jumbled salad of topics - free energy, UFOs, secret government, the banking system, 9-11, the little humanoid body (which remained inconclusive, even though they paraded it throughout the entire film), and an exhaustive self-aggrandizing montage for Stephen Greer- all jumbled together in a confusing, repetitive, and non-linear order.
It's the ol' "truth mixed with lies" that "sound good" to lure in ignorant, well-meaning people and slip in his agenda with obvious emotional hooks (a la "Thrive", "Wayseers", and "Kony"), stringing the viewer along for 2 hours with sob stories, sappy music, and blatant (sometimes exploitatively manipulative, with no relevance to the topic of the documentary) personal appeals to emotion relating to how Steven Greer's been the poor underdog, and how everyone else who feels like they're the underdog should get on board with Dr. Greer because he's THE pioneer for truth.
For a prime example, from the intro:
We see Dr. Greer sitting alone, waiting, in a locker room drinking Coke-a-Cola from a can. (isn't he supposed to be a medical professional?!)
Narrator opens in a gruff, overly-dramatic voiceover, spewing this jumble of pseudo-macho nonsense: "Most people don't know what a dead man's trigger is. And even fewer need one. A dead man's trigger is a safety valve. For reasons of security, a person prepares a recourse of such severe action, that if harmed, they will release a cache of damaging evidence against those enemies. Given his situation, Dr. Steven Greer is one of those rare men. "
To which he walks out on to a stage, cheered by a crowd, holding his hands together in prayer fashion while bowing, giving a hypocritical spiritual gesture of humility and respect after a contrived and pompous introduction.
It even goes insofar as to show Greer leading people in prayer in the desert, many of them young impressionable youngsters and New Age seekers, holding their hands in mudra, chanting in (what sounded like) Hindi, then giving his ol' shtick about asking the ET "saviors" to help humanity before they "signal the UFOs to show themselves".
I could go on, but pointing out ALL the logical fallacies, dubious connections behind his support, and fallacies behind his wishful assumptions based on lack of objective research in to the extraterrestrial phenomenon would take more time and energy than he's worth.
