Ah, the WTC UFO. Hasn't that been confirmed as a hoax a while ago? As in 'a commercial for a TV-channel'? The effects are pretty cool, but there's no buffeting of the helicopter as the UFO nearly collides with it (there should be substantial air movement!), and the cameraman seems to have no trouble whatsoever to keep track of the very fast-moving UFO. And the Disclosure Project has been classified as 'Crankier' by crank dot net.

There might be genuine aliens out there who take an interest in our doings, but truth be told, if said aliens possess the technology to cross the vast interstellar distances to reach us, why bother with this planet? We're still stuck in a social stone age despite having developed democracy, but when it comes to acting responsibly, many put their own interests squarely before those of others. This is not some sneer directed at the US, as it applies equally to the EU, Russia, and practically anyone else save for some forgotten tribes in the jungle of Brazil or Papua-New Guinea.
Some people say that cats are sneaky, evil and cruel. True, and they have many other fine qualities as well.

However, the main video regarding the Disclosure Project itself is something different.  So I ask my question again.... Are ALL these people crazy?

'Crazy' is a relative term. If shutting down rational thought to entertain a specific conviction which is felt to be true despite all evidence pointing in the other direction is 'crazy', then yes, they are. Hundreds of millions of people are, in fact---take a look at religious beliefs---although they will object most strongly to such a qualification. To my knowledge it is not known why people do this to themselves: there's a certain safety in belonging to a group of course, and even more so if your group is a little odd and therefore quick to be noticed by 'predators'. Also, I doubt that many of the listeners of that conference have such strong convictions as the speakers themselves: there's a good bit of 'walking along for the fun of it' associated with it, too.

Has everyone watched the video?

No, because it's a 2 hour film on a topic which doesn't really interest me. I asked for a short overview or summary, or a pointer to the important bits.

Are these people (and another 380 like them) 'crazy'? Are the objectives set down those of crazy people? You cannot answer the questions without watching the video.

Not to put a too fine point on it, but several people in the current US administration saw fit to begin a war on grounds which were later shown to be intentional wishful thinking. A Nobel prize winner has stooped to opening a bogus fertility clinic, duping parents, and using his own semen to offspring about 30 to 40 different children. Stalin and Pol Pot were raving madmen responsible for the death of millions of people. Do you want me to provide more examples where being in a place of great power and mental sanity do not coincide?
