I worked closely with Budd Hopkins in the early 90's and he was great. Yeah, he has some biases (like not responding/reacting to the stranger and more spiritual aspects to this) but it's not like he's hostile to it. He seems to feel that he's not qualified to address that aspect of it, so he's been trying to just work out the gist with the physical aspects. <br /><br />If Jacobs messed with a woman's head unethically, then I'm surprised Hopkins would back that up. He's always been very adamant about the importance of ethics on such things. I know of at least a couple of cases where he withdrew support of bad researchers because of things like this-- so... I hope it's not true.<br /><br />I've had good hypnosis and bad-- including being driven to confabulate while under and so forth simply because the <br /><br />Anyway, more on my own recent blog here-- which I didn't write in response to the Emma Woods thing or anything, as I haven't heard anything of it until I saw your posts.<br /><br />http://lucretiasheart.livejournal.com/697556.html<br /><br />http://lucretiasheart.livejournal.com/698094.html<br /><br />Budd's got his faults and blind spots-- who doesn't? But if he's wrongly siding with Jacobs, it's an error on judgment on his part, not because he's some malicious jerk. <br /><br />Jacobs has some interesting ideas, some of which I can personally verify to an extent (for myself anyway), but otherwise I have no real opinion on him as I have never met him and know little of his character. I have met others who worked with him and none of them had anything bad to say about him, though, if that means anything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7839436999869403520.post-68914317038458892782010-07-09T04:10:13.061-07:002010-07-09T04:10:13.061-07:00">No. It's not an even split.

And a least two out of the four posters, banned (no reason given).<br /><br />Yet, all manner of vile attacks were hurled on Emma Woods, including swears and curses....even posters writing she had a "seductive" voice!! Huh?? [Imagine where that inappropriate opinion led in the minds of the Jacobs apologists.]<br /><br />I noticed that Budd Hopkins, always the faithful friend and colleague of David Jacobs, was nearly gushing over him in the latest UFO Magazine interview. I don't have it at hand, but something about calling Jacobs the "brave" one in the abduction field because of his hypothesis (which is a terribly grim one of being 'bred out' essentially). Never mind that Jacobs nor Hopkins has one iota of proof that hybrids are being created and live amongst us.<br /><br />When the big bad debunkers get a hold of the Jacobs story, they'll run with it and make all of Ufology look ridiculous! I can imagine what a Penn Gillette would do with Jacobs on tape! He's already made a fool out of hypnotherapist Barbara Lamb and her very unusual group of experiencers and their alien spouses and families(can be found on youtube).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
