Zecharia Sitchin passed away on October 9, 2010. Two days ago, Bill Ryan aimed his keyboard at Sitchin's reputation. Ryan writes:
"According to Zecharia Sitchin (recently passed) - who 'translated' many ancient Sumerian texts - and whose work has been dismissed by conventional archeologists but widely accepted among the alternative community - one reason the Anunnaki came to Planet Earth was to mine gold, which they had a strong desire for and attributed a great deal of value and importance to. It's possible that our own love and value and fascination for gold in the present day is a throwback to the attitude introduced by the Anunnaki.
(One veteran researcher), who Kerry Cassidy and I also know personally, knew Zecharia Sitchin very well. (He) told us that Zecharia had told him that his books were NOT translated from the Sumerian - but were actually channeled products of automatic writing.
(We were also told) that Zecharia Sitchin was paid on a retainer basis by the NSA, who always wanted to be kept up to date by Sitchin about what the Anunnaki were up to - because it seemed that Sitchin had a direct telepathic line to the Anunnaki in real time. (Note: there is quite a lot in Sitchin's books that is certainly disinformation - possibly deliberately inserted by the Anunnaki themselves). But quite a lot of the basic story is probably quite true."
Ryan ducks behind the skirts of Kerry Cassidy after using the veteran researcher as his instrument of destruction against Sitchin.
The veteran researcher respected Sitchin. Furthermore, he is extremely careful not to name names or point fingers. Public betrayal is not - definitely not - his style. Ryan has accused the veteran researcher of betraying Sitchin. On the contrary, it is Bill Ryan who has betrayed himself.
Ryan refuses to disclose that he had a relationship with the researcher following the Project Camelot interview (led by Cassidy in which Ryan was co-interviewer). Ryan and Cassidy, as Project Camelot, split soon after that interview. Subsequently Ryan, operating solo under his Project Avalon venture, invited the researcher to Europe. One wonders what happened as a result of the invitation and visit that prompted Ryan to place the researcher on the hot seat.
Ryan writes about Sitchin under the guise of issuing a "concise report" on the Annunaki. The "report" consists of 618 words in 24 sentences arranged in 10 paragraphs (plus an artist's representation of an Annunaki space ship). Fully one-third of the report - the finale - is an underhanded attempt to destroy Sitchin.
It is curious that Kerry Cassidy left the country on business on the same day Ryan posted this.
To recap, Ryan reports that Sitchin's work was:
1) Dismissed by conventional archeologists;
2) NOT translated from Sumerian;
3) Channeled via automatic writing; and
4) Contained "quite a lot" of disinformation.
Plus the kicker:
5) Sitchin was on retainer by the National Security Administration.
In other, clearer, words: Sitchin was an instrument of extraterrestrials and a pawn of the U.S. government.
In new age terms, channeling via automatic writing is a method of composition that ostensibly precludes research and scholarship. Granted, some of Sitchin's Sumerian translations are in dispute and much of his writings rely on storytelling as the method of presentation. However, as any writer knows, there is a big difference between channeling for extraterrestrials and having a story form in the mind based on one's research interests. Sitchin was not a conventional scholar; nonetheless, his efforts can not be disparaged as pie-in-the-sky nonsense when in fact the gentleman relied unceasingly on the historical records.
What Ryan has done is proven himself to be a cowardly bully. What better explanation for this pathetically disguised and disgusting expression of authoritative bravado?
