I have to stand up for Robbie - again - here on this forum. I was there at the Ranch when he was but I had no idea who he was. We had a long conversation and he never once let on that he was anything but an average guy or treated me like I was less than. He told the same stories to me he told to ATS. We talked about why it was we were looking for aliens and what we were hoping to find. He was clearly concerned about the state of the world....AND ready to board a ship if he stumbled upon one. He's clearly on a mission.
When he noticed that neither my friend nor I had coats, he went out of his way to find something for us. To be clear, my friend and I have 20 years on Robbie, so there was no agenda hidden behind his kindness and thoughtfulness. I'm still trying to reconcile the man in the videos playing to thousands to the regular guy who was unafraid to share some personal thoughts with a perfect stranger.
He is the real deal and I feel fortunate that I had the opportunity to spend some time with him. It really gave me hope to be aware of at least one person of influence who is not a sell out.
