I reference the relevant MJ-12 articles between 1987-1995 that
were recorded in Just Cause, Caus Bulletin, IUR, MUFON Journal
and UFO Magazine. The articles are bibliographed in a prior
message to this list and available in the ufomind online index
at:

The above is a deceptive and irrelevant ploy by Stanton
Friedman.  The article he references from JUST CAUSE was
published in 1985 based on information given to Lee Graham whose
source was none other than Stanton Friedman's MJ-12
co-researcher William Moore. The information posted by Greenwood
and sourced from the dream team of Moore-Shandera-Friedman, was
basically all that the dream team had "released" until that
time. Friedman's "criticism" of the neutral article by Barry
Greenwood should by all rights by directed at his co-researcher
William Moore who released the information through Lee Graham
and in turn gave it to Barry. At the time, Lee Graham was being
used as a conduit to the UFO community by the dream team of
Moore-Shandera-Friedman and the only available source of
information to the "research" of Moore-Shandera-Friedman.

What is more deceptive of Stanton Friedman is what he doesn't
say in his book and can be verified from the bibliography posted
to this list. There is no further mention of JUST CAUSE and the
research it published demolishing the MJ-12 papers, 57 articles
and references in all in JUST CAUSE and 7 in CAUS Bulletin out
of the 152 references from the UFO literature posted. Most of
these devastating references were published between 1987-1992
with IUR contributing 17 references, MUFON contributing 24
references and UFO magazine contributing 47 references, many of
which constituted research originally published by Barry
Greenwood in JUST CAUSE. Yet, Friedman's only reference to that
research is the 1985 neutral article whose information came
indirectly from his co-researcher William Moore. How deceptive!

Stanton Friedman compounds the deception in his book of ignoring
the relevant research conducted by UFO researchers within the
UFO community by stating on page 85 of TS/M:


"This carries the analysis of the MJ-12 documents themselves
about as far as it can go. Surprisingly, nothing that we had
found or that others had alleged indicated that the documents
were anything other than legitimate."


This Friedman deception points stronger to his intellectual
dishonesty and deception directed at his readers. Not only does
he ignore the JUST CAUSE published research between 1987-1992 on
the bogus MJ-12 documents and makes no reference to it -
including not listing JUST CAUSE in his 10 page bibliography,
much of which was irrelevant to the MJ-12 papers, but he
compounds his dishonesty when he declares in his book:


"Surprisingly, nothing that we had found or that others had
alleged indicated that the documents were anything other than
legitimate."


When in fact some of the JUST CAUSE published articles included
letters of "protest" from Stanton Friedman and relevant and
significant responses from JUST CAUSE.

The above paragraph continues the trend already shown of Stanton
Friedman's irrelevance to the facts and will be addressed by
Robert Todd in a separate post. Robert Todd was mentioned in
TS/M on pages 94,99, and 106 and is intimately familiar with the
bogus MJ-12 papers and the subsequent bogus claims adherred to
by Stanton Friedman. Robert Todd has in the past contributed and
shared his research findings to Barry Greenwood and others.
