According to my conversations with acquaintances of Bart Sibrel, he does in claim (in private) to have been kidnapped and drugged by the CIA. But since he doesn't make this claim publicly we're left with rebutting what amounts to hearsay. However, I corresponded briefly with Sibrel through an intermediary, and he confirmed that claim during the correspondence. But of course I can't prove that because Sibrel is not likely to grant me permission to publish his correspondence. Therefore I'm in the uncomfortable position of knowing myself, with some degree of assurance, that Sibrel claims to have suffered reprisals at the hands of the U.S. government, but being unable to prove it to anyone else's satisfaction.

In any case, I doubt Sibrel could substantiate his claim, so it makes no difference whether his claim is public or private.

As for Kaysing, I don't know whether he has ever claimed to suffer reprisals for his findings. I know of no claims of reprisals from Mary Bennett or David Percy.

Ralph Rene indirectly claims reprisals. On a radio appearance he blamed the U.S. government for his inability to acquire legitimate credentials in engineering or physics. He wasn't specific about what those impediments were.

Ironically Jack White claims that Clavius is a government attempt to smear his character. He has simply decided that our site is a government-funded attempt to silence him and salvage Apollo's reputation. His evidence, suggested by his friend Rich DellaRosa, is simply that Clavius is too "slick" to be a private site. That and the fact that his personal delusion is that anyone who opposes him must, ex hoc facto, therefore be a government disinformationist.

But the point remains. If the hoax believers are serious about their claims that such notable persons as astronauts and key officials have been murdered in order to keep them silent, then they must directly address the glaring discrepancy of their own continued state of non-death.
