"Joe, Talk to the people in the above CC list above who actually KNOW me AND/OR understand my work."
This message, sent to several persons including Dr. Harold (Hal) Puthoff, a physicist best known for his role in the CIA investigation of paranormal research for spying on the Soviets, was shortly followed by another.
"Please give your candid assessment to JF on my sanity, competence and the significance of post-quantum physics. Thanks."
Post-quantum physics was Sarfatti's vision of 21st Century knowledge unrestrained by 20th Century physics dogma.
Naively I replied to Sarfatti, "Who is JF?" to which he responded, "A man with a lot of money."
Almost two years earlier, US Web CEO Joe Firmage had been quoted in Hearst publication The San Francisco Chronicle.
"We plan to build the world's largest professional service company for the Internet."
SF Chronicle added, "After one year in existence, USWeb has a nationwide network of nearly 50 offices specializing in Web site design."
Months before Sarfatti mentioned "JF," the Chronicle reported that "design firm USWeb Corp. yesterday agreed to buy advertising agency CKS Group Inc. in a stock swap worth about $300 million."
USWeb had become a multi-billion dollar operation.
Change was in the air for Firmage. USWeb had made "JF" "a man with a lot of money."
Some of that money was about to be spent in the pursuit of reverse engineering "extraterrestrial technology."
Hal Puthoff emailed the press release:
SANTA CLARA, CA: December 14, 1998. The following statement was released today by Joseph Firmage, chairman of the International Space Sciences Organization, and primary author of The Truth (www.TheWordIsTruth.org) .
"Now that the new MAJESTIC 12 documents are in broad circulation, it is appropriate for me to make a few comments regarding their authenticity and their role in support of the hypothesis contained in The Truth..."
MAJESTIC 12 was a collection of ever growing and highly controversial UFO documents. The FBI had declared the so-called MJ-12 documents to be "BOGUS" based upon a source from the Air Force OSI.
In "The Word Is Truth" Firmage argued for a revised view of human history in the context of a cosmos teaming with alien intelligence.
The media responded with a hail storm of written bullets. Weeks after issuing the press release about "The Truth" Firmage left USWeb.
A front page feature story in the SF Chronicle reported:
"Joe Firmage -- the Fox Mulder of Silicon Valley -- resigned yesterday from the firm he founded so he could promote his belief that many of today's high-tech advancements, including semiconductors, fiber optics and lasers, came from aliens."
The SF Chronicle noted a similarity between Firmage's resignation from USWeb and a television program:
"Firmage's situation is eerily similar to a recent plot in the TV show "Ally McBeal," in which a respected stockbroker is fired from his job after claiming to have seen a unicorn."
The strangeness that had launched Firmage on this new course of his life had actually been mirrored on television, seven years prior to a personal "visitation."
"A remarkable being, clothed in brilliant white light, appeared hovering over my bed in
my room," according to Firmage.
After a brief discussion about space travel, the "visitor" emitted a ball of light, "about the size of a basketball," which then entered Firmage, leaving him with a sensation almost beyond words.
