For anyone curious, David Paulides has been shilling his book on the internet in the grossest imaginable ways for at least a few years now. There are threads banned on 4chan's /x/ board because they're part of this spam. 4chan.

If the guy sincerely felt these alleged "conspiracies" were so significant, he wouldn't do everything in his power to restrict access to the information and then sell it like an infomercial.

His books aren't cheap and I'm thinking he makes his living and supports his research from their sale.

I'm also thinking you have not read any of his books and really have nothing to say about his research or the circumstances of all the missing people that he is reporting on.

Yeah, I also haven't read The Secret to learn the Law of Attraction or how important it is, but I can still identify an obnoxious and dishonest marketing campaign when I see it, and it's still an indicator of how seriously I should regard his "research" to the extent he's claiming some public benefit.

[jim_bailie]

I've not seen any indication of any "obnoxious and dishonest marketing campaign" on his part. All I know is that in his books he presents what I feel is very credible research and offers no conclusions.

The missing persons cases he examines are truly remarkable. I don't expect to persuade you of this, but I am responding to you for the possible benefit of anyone else who may be reading these remarks.

And I'll also inform anyone else who may be reading that a simple google search will reveal the guy is a profit-motivated wacko with no credibility who sells paperbacks for 80 dollars.
