38 and future probable lives, and as passive instruments for channel- ing other beings. Strength of Source: Alien and military factions can install screen memories with multiple fail-safe layers in abductees, stage misleading abduction scenarios, and jack into a hypnotized sub- ject’s mind to speak through him while he is unconscious. Weakness of Vector: Hypnotists may be in over their heads when dealing with disinformation sources coming through their clients. If they are unaware that screen memories can lurk beneath 1 . ay 1 re! 1 deeper screen memories, they may only penetrate the decoy screen and accept the next one as likely truth. Same with staged abductions, where what is recalled is indeed what was experi- enced, but the experience itself was staged for the abductee as a diversion. Furthermore, if the hypnotized person becomes an instrument through which a disinformer can directly speak, then the hypnotist is in live contact with someone or something that can play to his weaknesses. Strength of Vector: The information retrievable through hyp- nosis is fascinating, entertaining, and sometimes verifiable. This gives it wide appeal and respect in the fringe research field. It may also be used by academics as a research supplement to expand their data pool. Like in the case of channeling, because what is said cannot always be verified, disinformation can be as creative and fantastic as desired. Weakness of Audience: Disinformation rides the assumption that what is retrieved through hypnosis, if not fabricated by the subject or induced by the hypnotist through leading questions, is very likely the truth. Again, this is the fallacy “if not subjective and false, then objective and true,” which ignores the possibility of objective deception. In ordinary cases where no deceptive in- tentions are involved, hypnosis can indeed be reliable, but the trust and respect hypnosis earns through reliable cases should not be blindly transferred to potentially disinformative cases.
