I don't listen to Marty much as he definitely does deny things and I don't have time for that. He tends to bow to criticism rather than just stick to the facts. It may just be that he has decided to 'play along' in order to not become an outcast or get shut down from youtube. I don't know.
I hadn't seen the posts about August 11, but I just read most of your post here - it's definitely a date to look out for!
