Gary McKinnon had no funding whatsoever and had locked himself away for months while trying to find the truth about ufos and also felt the public had a right to know the truth. There are many ‘pimple faced geeks’ who are also trying to do the same and are putting their lives on the line to ‘steal’ the truth and bring it all out into the open. White hats are also such people and most are doing a great job.
