A declaration of commitment has been made to keep Project Camelot Interviews free for the 'benefit of humanity'. The suggested motive by the founders of PC is that this information belongs to no-one and therefore should be free to everyone.

The same could as easily be said for Project Avalon and PC Forums and in my opinion -- if it is a contest between which website should pay the costs of PC research -- then the Forums are more worthy candidates for a 'free for all' philosophy simply because everyone here contributes freely to them.

If the discussion forums remain 'free' (barring our own time and effort) and if instead a modest fee was applied to the Project Camelot interviews (say, $1.00 per view up to 90 days from the date presented) then people using the forums would have a huge incentive to keep up to date with the PC research because it would enable interested parties to intelligently contribute to forum discussions relating to it. For forum viewers, there should be no financial or philosophical barriers to joining the discussion.

Importantly, the 'pay per view' model would give discerning forum members the personal power to decide whether or not a particular PC interview is "essential information for the benefit of humanity" by choosing the paypal button, or not. After reading the posts on a busy discussion forum right here (busy because it's free) some may decide to go back and view it after all. Newcomers to the PC website could first get some indication of value by freely perusing the archives.

Given that members are responsible for the volume and quality of the content here at the forums, i agree that it could be career suicide to go down the proposed path of subscription. The minimum one dollar per month is not much for most 'westerners' but for reasons stated, the price is not the main issue.

What is the product and where is it? The Project Camelot Interviews, at the PC website.

The Interviews are considered core to the PC / PA juggernaut. They are, but so are the viewers who provide balance for the forums by providing important critical analyses of the PC content. We decide what is true or not and how to apply truth in our lives. With or without the PC interviews we are responsible for changing ourselves and our world. We are the 'body' of the necessary work at hand and to each of us Project Camelot can be seen for what it's worth as just one of Shiva's many sword wielding 'arms' -- Notwithstanding the disinfo it obviously contains and which must be discerned if the truth is to have any value other than just sugar coating to the main payload of disinfo.

Granted, Project Avalon is supposed to be purely a repository of shared information and a conduit for so called "ground crews" to connect and prepare for a better future. But it - and PC Forum - are places for discussion and wherever that happens there can be no pre-suppostion of inviolate "truths". Therefore, these venues for discussion are essential to the process of distilling the truth from PC Interviews - and other important sources - and because everyone contributes to that distillation it should remain free to all.

The difficult question about how to fund the PC interviews, if resolved in favour of the current proposal to charge forum posters, will most likely result in cutting off the 'body' of Shiva (who could just as easily support Project Camelot with pay per view) to save an 'arm'.
