I, like others here, didn't have a good feeling about Deagle while listening to or after the interview. While I greatly appreciate Bill & Kerry's work and effort, they do have a certain responsibility to perform better due diligence with their approach and presentation of those they interview. It's interesting to see how some guests are pilloried while others are given a free pass without proper skepticism.
This is largely the conundrum I have with Avalon and Camelot. Overall, I like Bill and Kerry. For a long while I questioned with they were CIA operatives. Today, I don't think they are but I remain a little skeptical about some of their influences and sources of funding. I enjoyed the Burisch interviews, although much in the same way I might enjoy a Star Trek movie. In other words, the facts involved have absolutely no bearing on my reality except for entertainment.

My problem was that when the forum turned paid, I was unwilling to support these types of interviews. My other issue was that as a paying member, I would no longer be an Avalon guest or viewer, but a customer, and as a customer, I didn't want to be paying for disinfo. I felt somewhat disillusioned by the fact that Bill and Kerry didn't seem very interested in listening to or being attentive to their customers. I applaud Bill for his recent thread to be attentive to what everyone is saying and asking. I think it is most appropriate that PA/PC are supported by their members by donations and also by selling some type of merchandise(?) or products/exclusive services, but in order for skeptics such as myself that Bill and Kerry (or even someone in a new position like operations manager) be more responsive to the members and their concerns about particular whistleblowers.
