IMMEDIATE HELP REQUESTED FROM PEOPLE WHO KNOW STEVE BASSETT
Anyone who knows me is aware of how supportive I can be of people who need help. Steve Bassett was one of those people. What I’ve gotten for my generosity is a lawsuit he has filed against me in an attempt — after housing him, feeding him, giving him a car to drive, throwing parties for him, getting him gigs, and even donating money to his cause — to do what amounts to extorting money from me.
Before this gets out of the UFO/Disclosure community, to where it becomes public knowledge that a community leader is engaging in such behavior, I encourage communicating to Steve to ask him to withdraw his lawsuit. I am up against a deadline today for having to hire a lawyer, so please speak now.
What Steve has trumped up is in reaction to my writing about his sneaking out of my house the last time he stayed, having borrowed money on false pretenses and having not fulfilled his obligation to be on a work exchange for parking with me for months and for what I gave him during that time. I said I would make my writing public if he didn’t get square with me to put in time helping me and to pay back $1650 I loaned him:
“If you could provide a short-term loan ($1650) to get the shipping payment to Broad Link in Hong Kong ASAP, I will give you my personal guarantee you will be paid back in full no later than the end of the year, and likely sooner, with interest.”
He’d arrived Thanksgiving but it was 11 months before he paid me the $1,650 – with no interest, and then because I was going to make the story public.
The background is that when he came for what I expected to be a short visit, as he had done a few times before, he said he intended to stay for several months and would be hosting Kim Carlsberg for a couple of weeks during that time. He expected to be using my car, and not only would be staying so long and having a houseguest, but, as usual, he (and she) would be eating my food. Gracious host that I am, with him not even boiling water that would include my cooking for him. Also, on previous occasions, he’d invited people for dinner and for parties that my household put on for him. Pretty nice benefacting, I would say.
With Steve wanting more than I had offered him, he agreed he’d be on a work exchange, to begin after the weeks where my house was clogged with Kim’s books to get pre-orders fulfilled. But a work exchange was not to be. He did nothing for me before he disappeared, more than two months later, and sent me this in an email:
“When it comes to residence quid pro quos, the host sets the conditions and the guest either complies or departs. Since I cannot comply with your conditions, I have departed. This is for the best.”
This is like taking merchandise and telling the store you’d be keeping it because the price was too high. Huh?
There’s more, none of it flattering to Steve. He has asked for a jury trial, in Maryland (I am in California), where his lawyer is working on a contingency of the $30,000 Steve demands from me for defaming him. I’ve said nothing untrue so he won’t win, but he will cost me money and grief in the process.
I want us to live out among the stars in the magic of this glorious universe, and here I am slugging it out in the black and white, right or wrong arena that’s one’s step up from a gladiator’s match. Please help prevent this lawsuit from going further. Here’s how Steve can be reached: PRG@paradigmresearchgroup.org.

*Here’s the email I sent out about this:
Please circulate. Immediate help requested from people who know Steve Bassett
Steve Bassett is suing me — demanding a jury trial, no less.
This public spectacle will make us the laughing stock of the skeptical world. I can see the headline: The Weird ET Guy and the Crazy Crop Circle Girl Duke it Out on Planet Earth.” Just what we don’t need.
Please help to keep this out of court. Get Steve to drop his lawsuit.
My movie is on a PBS station in Colorado on Thursday night. It’s a first broadcast on TV — a breakthrough, and in an auspicious place. This is what we need more of. Please help so as not to set me – and the world — back
I’d expect Steve would draft a rebuttal that says he offered settlements, and I am unreasonable in not taking them. That’s like the thief keeping the loot and suing the victim to get more. No, I won’t be issuing a check for $26,000 for which I’ll get that amount of value in Kim Carlsberg’s books; no I won’t issue an apology to say I’ve blow the whistle on Steve in anger and by mistake; no, I won’t cover legal costs for his filings against me. These are the sorts of agreements he wants in order to drop the suit. I want him to drop it because he shouldn’t have filed it and instead should be apologizing and making good to me.
The legal system is toxic to me – it’s torture to have to take part in it. I’ve found a lawyer – a gentle guy who knows his stuff – who will get retained tomorrow unless Steve agrees to drop the suit. Please help prevent this lawsuit from going further.

I sent an email to Steve and sent it to others who know him.
*giggling* Thank you for sharing Suzanne, this is amazing to me because it is all making so much sense with what I was in and your comment only confirms more. You don’t know what you are in until you get out. Life is so strange and so beautiful. I do feel life is telling us to keep going and this all needs exposing for the good of the whole. I am writing a book right now about my life with him with intent to get out by July sometime. It will burst some bubbles but for the good. It is a Revealing and Healing book.
Jeff Rense is also included in this personality trait. His 9th wife has come out and made contact with me after reading my story. There are 7 of Rense’s wives who have joined together now it seems. AND Rense and Icke are buddy buddy out to attack the ladies! Keep them under control and shut them up is their strategy. Not on my watch! I mean, it does not take much to have Peace. Something is not right in Ickeland. Very eery to me.
I feel like we are dealing with little school boys in the school yard! When those in positions of power abuse it like this, I am greatly confident of that power toppling down for they have lost the grace to sit on such a throne. Truth needs not fight, it speaks for itself.
May we all stay calm within and act out never with glee, but because it was absolutely necessary. Sometimes you have to put the Samurai suit on 🙂
much love, pamela
Oh Pamela, you are so dear. I am on your wavelength. I think one of the good things abotu THRIVE — I trust you know my involvement and my opinions that I’ve written about here — is that it is shinng some light on the darkness that Icke is all about. Uh oh, I’m openign the door to more 24 point email!
Thank You Pamela! Moves my heart that sumpin´s movin´! 😀 That´s the way I have seen it coming and lived it all along: open – free – symbiotic – together! Love&Light
How will SB pay his legal fees if he loses?
He has been peddling the ‘imminent disclosure’ stuff for at least 10 years – anyone remember The Disclosure Cookbook?
Oh my goodness. This is amazing and thank you to the above for posting this information on NPD.
I do not know who wrote the above piece and is being attacked by Foster Gamble but this sums up David Icke, my former husband and what I am going through exactly. Instead of a perspective to make peace in any given situation, it is a full on attack with no mercy. In my opinion Icke is also a classic Drama Triangle along with all the symptoms of NPD.
I know Foster as well. Met him and actually set the interview up for David for that movie.
“For Kohut, narcissistic rage is related to narcissists’ need for total control of their environment, including ‘the need for revenge, for righting a wrong, for undoing a hurt by whatever means.'”
When we’re dealing with humans in positions of leadership who have deep internal emotional issues unresolved, the external conflicts will go on and others become lightning rods. Phew!
Sit in peace everyone and we shall ride this all out on the high road.
I am so sorry for this and shall email Stephen as I know him and am appalled that this is happening. I am dealing with my former husband as well, David Icke, who has turned something so simple around and created a nightmare using the legal system to do it. In my opinion It is evil in disguise. True colors are appearing all over the place. At a time when we should be uniting for a common cause the divisions continue within the ranks of those purporting to want to save the world. It’s crazy. The in-fighting is unbelievable. I am over shock. Hang in there darlin’. Stay calm within, go with the flow and let it all unfold as it will. Emailing him now.
That must have been an interesting marriage. I first saw David when he was a speaker, in 1993, on a tour I joined for my first trip to England. He is one wild person — and, being in “THRIVE,” he’s getting a lot of flack now in the controversy about the movie that’s raging. In between those years, I wrote him an email suggesting he shouldn’t send over-the-top urging for everyone to tune into his views about reptiles as the most important info ever to come down the pike. He emailed me back “screaming” at me in 24 point type about daring to question him!
Hope that this ‘gentleman’ leaves his ‘ego’ behind and drops this scoundrels folly attempt to win some easy $$’s. If he reads through this, he will understand that within himself he knows you ‘owe’ him nothing at all, just take stock, let it go and walk away – resolved.
I have been familiar with Stephen Bassett for several years and – in my opinion – he is a characterless charlatan, poseur and parasite who promotes nonsensical, nonexistent and fraudulent claims under the equally ridiculous “exopolitics” banner. (There is NO such thing as “exopolitics,” please note.)
In fact, I would say that Bassett, his group, and their ilk have done about as much (or more) damage to the truth pertaining to UFOS – and the Billy Meier case in particular – than the whole lot of disinformation specialists in the the government, media, etc.
I would suggest that anyone interested look up his name and the word “exopolitics” at http://www.theyfly.com.
I am not a party to this dispute and I don’t know how Suzanne allowed herself to be conned and taken advantage of by this slimy individual. I wish her good luck in extracting herself from the mess.
You and I are having quite parallel experiences. As you well know, I am the target of Foster Gamble’s ruthless Narcissistic rage because of my caustic critiques of his THRIVE movie. I see here that you are bearing the brunt of Steve Bassett’s equally ruthless narcissistic rage.
So I think it would be very instructive for everyone reading here to delve into the gory details of Narcissistic rage. I myself am 63 years old. Foster Gamble is 64. I peg Steve Bassett’s age to be within 2 years of those ages.
Thus we are dealing with a special version of Narcissism here. Yes, it is severe BBN = Baby Boomer Narcissism. Now we Boomers didn’t invent Narcissistic Personality Disorder = NPD, but we sure as hell perfected BBN and this is our lasting legacy to the younger generations below us.
Please read this excerpt on Narcissistic Rage slowly and carefully, and then you may begin to understand why Steve Bassett’s way of relating to you is to seek revenge.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_rage
Heinz Kohut (1913-1981) was an Austrian-born American psychoanalyst best known for his development of Self psychology.
Kohut explored a wide range of rage experiences in his seminal article “Thoughts on Narcissism and Narcissistic Rage.” (1972).
He considered narcissistic rage as one major form among many, contrasting it especially with mature aggression.
Because the very structure of the self itself is enfeebled in the narcissist, their rage cannot flower into real assertiveness; and they are left instead prone to oversensitivity to perceived or imagined narcissistic injuries resulting in narcissistic rage.
For Kohut, narcissistic rage is related to narcissists’ need for total control of their environment, including “the need for revenge, for righting a wrong, for undoing a hurt by whatever means.”
It is an attempt by the narcissist to turn from a passive sense of victimization to an active role in giving pain to others, while at the same time attempting to rebuild their own (actually false) sense of self-worth. It may also involve self-protection and preservation, with rage serving to restore a sense of safety and power by destroying that which had threatened the narcissist.
Alternatively, according to Kohut, rages can be seen as a result of the shame at being faced with failure. Narcissistic rage is the uncontrollable and unexpected anger that results from a narcissistic injury — a threat to a narcissist’s self-esteem or worth. Rage comes in many forms, but all pertain to the same important thing, revenge. Narcissistic rages are based on fear and will endure even after the threat is gone.
To the narcissist, the rage is directed towards the person that they feel has slighted them; to other people, the rage is incoherent and unjust. This rage impairs their cognition, therefore impairing their judgment. During the rage they are prone to shouting, fact distortion and making groundless accusations.
Depressions caused by a sense of things not going the expected way blossom into rages; and narcissists may even search for conflict to find a way to alleviate pain or suffering in his book “The Analysis of the Self.”
==========================
It is worth repeating this sentence, Suzanne:
For Kohut, narcissistic rage is related to narcissists’ need for total control of their environment, including “the need for revenge, for righting a wrong, for undoing a hurt by whatever means.”
++++++++++++++
I admire you greatly Suzanne because of your equanimity and poise in the face of these revenge attacks. Steve is lashing out at you because you managed to trigger an ancient traumatic narcissistic injury of his. Thus you are nothing but a latter-day metaphor, a proxy, a stand-in, yes, I will say it, a scapegoat for his own unfelt childhood pain. He believes that by inflicting pain on you relentlessly, he will one day purge his own infantile trauma of omnipotence.
Suzanne, I’m so sorry to hear about this whole thing. I’ve been following it for some time and had really hoped it would have been dropped by now. At least you’ve had plenty of opportunity to respond to all the events and the comments about them, and I must say I’m very impressed that I’ve never seen any anger or venom in any of your statements, merely sober fact tinged with sadness that it all had to happen this way. I’m sad too, because I’ve known Steve for years and considered him a friend, and I hate to see two of my friends in such a dispute. I do believe that whatever happens, happens for the best, even if it takes some time to understand it. The more this whole thing is made public, the more people will see that you present facts with dignity, while Steve is unfortunately presenting no facts and merely attacking. I wish, as you do, that this would not be the public face of the field in which we have all worked for so long; but what will be, will be. Steve is not doing himself any favors with this, and cannot possibly gain by this.
I’m so appreciative of your perspective. So far he is impervious to this kind of reflection from his peers. I can’t understand why he perseveres. I don’t see where there is a win for him, except if I were to pay him off, but it would be at the expense of whatever respect he now commands. Why would he do that? And there is something pathetic about him, where angry battle against an adversary isn’t what comes up for me. My compassion, however, is tinged with the time and money I will squander on this, so it is not as full-hearted as it would be otherwise. I can’t believe I will be on a plane to Maryland, as very well may happen, but I have a sort of fascination with it, where it will be interesting to see what the universe has in mind.
All the love, support and prayers will get you through this. You are the kindest person I know.
To readers, fyi, Karin was my live-in nanny for a few years when my childeren were babies. I was equally kind to Steve — even more so since he didn’t have to do anything in exchange for much bounty until that last time when I asked for something back.
I just wanted to make a comment about this situation..I have been interested in UFOs, crop circles all my life..I decided to get in the field seriously last year, by joining a major UFO organization. I am very sorry for what has happened to you and I am finding out that such people, like the person you are speaking of, are very much a part of this field. I was taken by surprise by the sheer number of people in this for money, egos, and fame. The amount of back biting, name calling and just down right money grapping that is going on is unbelievable. There are some very good people, but sadly they are not the ones with books, films, tv shows and on-line conferences. And for all the money you spend on these, you get the same old tired information over and over. Keep the faith. I too have been taken advantage of but we cannot let it change us, because if it does these people win.
Steve has a long history of doing this.
He stayed with many women he meets at his lectures,
and ends up getting money and lodging. He spins the same
tale of “disclosure is close” …he has it down to a science.
The truth of this and many of his other deceptions
was only a matter of time to come out. In the
end he is friendly, talkative, but always
angling for something.
From what I hear, Steve is not the only person suing you.
You and Bruce Hanifan used a song by a friend of mine in your credits without permission. When he was approached about the matter, he deleted all links, credits – anything releated to you and your project on his website and never responded.
Your karma is catching up to you Suzanne. You can’t hide up there on Sunset PlazaDrive forever.
Suzanne, there are plenty of us who believe the best in some people and put our best foot forward to help them. After being taken a couple of times by professional and bloated egotists and freeloaders, I am glad you are sounding this to the public. He has it coming.
Airing your dirty laundry to the public with your twisted words like this is sinful.
I know the author you speak of and she was not homeless. She lost several properties due to the real estate crash like millions of others, including myself. You are an arrogant snob making it sound like someone is a bad person because they have lost their lifetime of hard work due to the corrupt banking cartels that have brought down America.
If you knew the person you were loaning money to was homeless and broke, you need to grow-up and take responsibility for your decisions. When I’ve loaned people money and don’t get it back, which I have many times, I forgave them and moved on, but that’s just me.
I’ve often allowed people into my home because they were homeless, knowing full well they may end up overstaying their welcome. I have fed them for months on end at times I could barely feed myself. That’s what generous people do. But I couldn’t fathom trying to destroy someone after the fact for things so trivial. What a waste of energy.
This cowardly online onslaught just reveals an angry, vindictive, low vibrational nature. I forget the amount you loaned, but I think you said it was less than 2 grand and you got it back in 10 months? You are making it sound like he borrowed a hundred grand and never paid you back or broke into your vault or cut your legs off. Is this event in your life so monumental you have to resort to lies, distortions and retaliation?
This kind of attack says volumes more about you than it says about Steven. You sound more like a seething jilted lover, than someone who had to wait a few months for a small loan repayment. Is there more to this story than you are telling? I am certain that there is.
Insisting anyone leaving a reply leave their name and email address and website address, or they can’t leave a message is certainly going to guarantee you get only sympathetic responses. How much more manipulative can one get.

In fact, I’ve posted every Comment, and just you and one other person have been critical of me. I also got as many emails to me personally – one negative. This all is coming down because I threatened to blow the whistle on Steve for not keeping his agreement, and, instead of doing what he agreed to do, he sued me.
I wonder if you’ve read everything. Steve had spent many weeks at my house, eating my food and driving my car on previous short term visits, and I asked nothing of him. But I was not prepared for him to move in and to have a houseguest, to boot. I said that he could stay only on the condition he help me, to which he agreed. Then, after more than two months of not doing anything, he disappeared.
If this seems to you to be supportable behavior, I guess we could arrive on your doorstep and you would feed us and house us and give us a vehicle. Just send your address and I’ll post it so the company can start coming.
I know you have encountered people in your various roles (business woman, consciousness raiser, host to numerous writers, spiritual teachers, etc., and just friends) who have taken advantage of your generosity. I do recall others that you won when the case went to court, as they were happening when I was renting the upstairs apartment from you. And what a time for you to have to deal with this -just when the platform for your work is beginning to take real form!! Best wishes to you in this most unpleasant situation. I know that you’re a powerful opponent when you have to be, just as you are a powerful disseminator of information about crop circles and conscious raising. Use that power as the needs require!
I know you have encountered people in your various roles (business woman, consciousness raiser, host to numerous writers, spiritual teachers, etc., and just friends) who have taken advantage of your generosity. I do not know the all the details of the debacle with Steve Bassett (I’Il google later), but I do recall others that you won when the case went to court: no names here, but you know who they are, as they were happening when I was renting the upstairs space from you. And what a time for you to have to deal with this – just when the platform for your work is beginning to take real form!! Best wishes to you in this most unpleasant situation. I know that you’re a powerful opponent when you have to be, just as you are a powerful disseminator of information about crop circles and conscious raising. Use that power as the needs require!
Really sorry to hear about this. We all know how kind and generous you are, but I had not heard of Steve Bassett. So, like with everything, I Googled him and found one or two youtubes. Funny that someone should have placed this comment a few months back: “something about steve basset makes me want to go berzerk with a machine gun”. It seems like you are not the only one who is driven nuts by the guy! Best of luck and let’s hope all this fizzles out, just like it should.
Isn’t this an interesting report!
You are a gracious host Suzanne, but time to realize that when you enable others, vs. empower others to make their own money, pay their own rent, they will always take advantage of you.
I suggest reading the book, “Codependency No More,” because as a community leader I imagine this is not the first time you have run into this kind of situation. It has helped me realize where drama is bound to happen and ways I have been secretly feeding it.
Maybe there are lessons to be learned about reciprocity, but I don’t think that would cover all the bases. There’s nothing wrong with people who have more helping those who have less, and it’s not always possible to be able to discern who the genuine articles are who deserve to be supported. Empowering people is a good idea on paper, but challenging to put into any practice. I have some association with people who are wealthy, and it’s a common problem for their generous natures to get abused.
Plain and to the point, he doesn’t have a case. The so-called attorney is pursuing what amounts to be an extremely weak form of litigation based on misinformation that is being mangled to give the impression of having value. It is extremely interesting to note that so many who claim some form of insult, with or without being penned with some legalistic jargon, have no real character value. Please don’t permit his personal knowledge of you be the means by which you are manipulated via an attorney who may be taking the case because they are desperate for something that will provide them with some level of public attention in an attempt to stir up future business. Ulterior motives in such instances can be many fold… and the real intent… instead of any financial compensation. Don’t let them wrangle you.
Being the champion of a losing cause doesn’t figure to increase his client roster, so I presume he’s a friend of Steve’s. And there are fees to serve me and to file papers — with Steve in debt how his lawyer could be reimbursed is puzzling. If Steve did have any money, how unfortunate to give it to a lawyer instead of paying people to whom he owes money.
Karma is a bitch. Neither of you are innocent. Your so-called generosity has iron-clad attachments. One manipulates the other cuz there is a personal agenda. One fabricates saintly qualities to win support from her adoring fans while publicly bashing and defaming another’s character. How pathetic! How manipulative! Yeah Suzanne, you’re a real model for us folks to admire. Maybe if you had stopped bashing Steven at every turn, when he asked 6 months ago – after repaying his debt to you, he may not have been forced into this predicament. Where else could he go but to a lawyer? You forced him into this. You brought this upon yourself so stop squealing and take responsibility for your actions. The real Truth will come out. Sorry to say I do not know your generosity, only your hubris. This ugly scenario is bound to get uglier. Fasten your sealbelt – its gonna be a bumpy ride.
Well, you are the second negative opinion. The other one isn’t here because it was sent to me in email, with curse words in something like 24 point type.
I gather you’re a friend of Steve’s since you talk about him asking me to take my page about him down after he paid me – a payment that only happed after I said he had to get square with me or I’d be making public what I’d written up about our situation, which was originally just for his eyes to put pressure on him to be in integrity with me. He paid me the money I’d laid out 10 months after he said he’d have it back to me, and without the interest he said he’d be giving me for preventing 5,000 books from going back to the Orient. I was advancing the money to a homeless person who was deeply in debt, who was working with the author who also was homeless and broke. I wouldn’t say my prospects for repayment were high, and when Steve was still in my house for a month after the due date, c’est la vie. I just let it be. So where, after that and several previous visits of Steve’s during which he was housed and fed and had parties thrown for him, would you say my ego and manipulation for adulation might be in play?
You may manipulate others for your personal agenda, but what a myopic view of humanity that is. I actually LOVE being generous. If can help people, nothing makes me happier. But when it turns out I have been manipulated to get money and service from me, nothing makes me sadder. It’s like the rule of the universe, which so needs to become a place of mutuality with kindness as our religion, has been violated, and, as god’s eyes and ears on every scene, I would be remiss in letting a perpetration against me or anyone I know go down without holding it up to public scrutiny.
I’m sending you lots of Love and Light Suzanne. You have always been incredibly kind and generous to me and my father, and I have a lot of gratitude for you. I have absolutely no doubts about your integrity in this matter, or in any matter actually, and pray that the Truth will overcome. I put you on the prayer list for the Spiritually-Centered Church I study with. I’ve seen miracles happen shortly after with this. Blessings to you.
So sweet, Adam. Thank you. I do believe that prayers are powerful in this quantum reality in which we reside.
This too shall pass and consider what a great gathering of like-minded souls this incident has brought together, so much wisdom in these comments. Hang in there; hopefully you and Steve will resolve this matter and in time the community and the work will be better for it. The important thing is not to let this situation stop the vital information you are sharing. All the best.
It has been a revelation that so many people are tuned in and so supportive. It’s my dream, really, to be part of a tuned-in community — I sent out this knock-out virtual tour of my latest attempt at real estate for it: http://829parkrd.com. Until that ship comes in, this virtual community is warming my heart. I hope this will be a spur to do more responding so we keep in touch!
What a great lesson for all who have read about your plight. Don’t let this event lesson your light, love and kindness. This too shall pass…Regain your inner spirit and true self and move-on…Be happy that you are not walking in his shoes. Thanks for sharing…Be Blessed Be A Blessing!
He is such a sad soul. Words of wisdom to be glad I’m not him.
As you well know thse are the time for truth, and the truth is that Steve (and I wish him well) has, as have others in the disclousure communit,y blown his horn for years with NO results. That is primarily because he has no credible evidence to put forward. I have sent him many messages saying, “If you have it let’s see it.” No response.
So my feeling is it’s time for the washout to begin, and those who know will produce and the shills for the system will go by the wayside to allow the rest of us to progress to the knowledge which is here and coming.
croydon
You know you have support from all those who matter, nothing happens without a reason, so hold your head up high, learn from the current difficulty, and do not allow the fear to penetrate, all will be well, NO DOUBT, you are loved for all you do, we are with you all the way, with love and prayers.
I am so sorry to hear this. I don’t know this person but can confirm how kind and generous you were to me, welcomimg me into your home on a number of occasions during brief trips to LA. Love and best wishes.
This whole story is a wee bit personal to be aired on such a public forum. But since it is – Steve you FUCK what are you doing? You won’t win this. You can’t take advantage of good people with vision. Just because they have something you want. You have to earn it. It’s called respect. Why don’t you find some for yourself and give up trying to take down someone who only showed u kindness? Karma is a bitch and may u get yours buddy.
You are a trip, girl!
There is indeed a lesson here. He was correct in telling you that the host sets the boundaries, and since he had stayed with you several times, you knew what he was all about. You did not say, “No thanks” when he asked to come in this time, with girlfriend in tow. You did not have to cook for him or host parties or give him a car. You got used with permission. Now, it takes time to file a lawsuit … so let him file it. It will not interfere with the viewing of your movie on PBS in CO. in the least. Enjoy that victory. It is yours and he can’t ruin it. A lawsuit is the epitome of being in opposition, locked in a karmic battle. If you do not want to be in a karmic battle, then do not engage in one. Run your reality parallel to it … not in opposition to it. The goal is not to get him to behave properly as in getting allies in your corner to persuade him to drop the lawsuit. Just hold the thought, “Let goodness prevail.” And forgive this idiot. Acknowledge your own part in being naive or not setting boundaries and forgive him his lack of character. Forgive both of you for being in this foolishness. It is all about lessons.
Generosity is my nature. I was happy to help him, and actually this shocked me — up till this laast visit, I gave happily. All I knew was my nature and he didn’t violate that. I actually feel sorry for him. He is pathetic — in more ways that I have gone into. He is a very sad person who feels his life has been a failure. Still am chewing on my lessons here — indeed it is school on Planet Earth.
I met both you and Steve a few years ago at one of his X-Conferences. You both made a very positive impression on me and when I heard that you were helping him through a tough time, that also made a very positive impression on me. I am so sorry to hear of what has happened to you . . . especially that your own mission is put in danger of being compromised (I’m sure everything will come out alright.) I will send Steve an email and hope it adds to the weight of others like it in encouraging a return to some sort of reason. It’s one thing to be an impassioned zealot. It’s another thing to have no boundaries and burn your bridges with your friends. Please don’t let this leave you bitter. There really are a lot of wonderful people in this world. All God’s Blessings.
You know, all this support is the antidote to bitterness. I didn’t actually know I had this many friends.
My heart goes out to you because of the pure injustice of it all. You have such a rock solid reputation of caring and supporting others, and it will be good to gather all the letters you can clearly stating your stellar reputation. It is a frivolous lawsuit, as there can be no damages that he can prove….he has already done a lot of damage to himself. However, it will take a lot of unneccesary energy to even answer his stupid allegations. May we all pray for you and see this untangle easily and peacefully.
Amen
Dear Suzanne,
I greatly appreciate your good works. I am sorry to learn that you are being subjected legal difficulties by Steve Bassett. You have made your personal Steven Bassett entanglement quite clear, and I trust your honor and integrity in this matter. I believe everything that you have disclosed is truthful, and that you are being wrongfully pressured through litigation to produce a financial payoff for Steve Bassett. This information will be hard to keep out wider discussion on the Internet. I suspect that Steven Bassett, who seems to seek full disclosure of UFO matters, could well be part of the UFO cover up. Perhaps you should consider filing a counter suit (in California courts) to move him toward a settlement.
If he doesn’t withdraw it I expect we will coutersue — but he is already so deeply in debt that you know how much that will likely produce. A grand mess. But heartwarming support. Thanks for yours.
How sad to think that someone who professes to care so much for the future of humanity has stooped to such a level. You’re right Suzanne– it will greatly reduce the credibility of the movement you’ve both been working so hard to support and propel. Hopefully Stephen will see this before it’s too late to undo the damage. God bless you Suzanne! Our thoughts and prayers are with you!
My heart goes out to you. As energy is “amped up” we get to see people for who they really are and it is frequently painful. While we can find some semblance of comfort in the knowledge of “karmic repercussions”, it still is astounding that someone who claims to be “spiritual” would use this method of confrontation. As you know, divine right action will always be in place. Wishing you the very best.
You have over many years, established a rock solid reputation for helping people and being one of the community that is constantly giving assistance to those who need and deserve it. I am confident that this situation will disappear as your just and well deserved support comes forward.
Gunnar, I’m surprised at you. We used to party at the Barne’s penthouse, and you sure weren’t singing Suzanne’s praises in those days.
What the hell happened to you?
Well, dear Suzanne, this is it (like in Mark Knopfler’s duet with Emmylou Harris). In this world there are people with a heart and people who haven’t. You have a heart, Suzanne. And if Mr. Basset should prove to have one too then he’d drop his suing you. Think with your heart, Steve.
I always heard he was not of the light.
C’mon Steve. Let it go. There’s too much at stake.
A few words from far away UK … (1) I hate litigation! It is like warfare. Warfare is illogical, is ungodly, causes much distress, reaches that point of no return, incites disrespect and brings out the worst in people. I hate litigation because it has similar qualities to warfare. So please folks back off. (2) Suzanne has done great service in revealing to the world the truth of interplanetary communication, which sadly, so many are too brain-washed by adverse media to recognize. And I do not wish to see this lady’s valuable work shot down for a few bucks. So this is a plea for peace in our time from across the pond. Love and light…
Weird to be spending time energy is this dense reality. Hopefully this lovely support will have an effect on Steve.
I am sorry to hear about this dispute between you two – I met you both at the LA UFO conference and you seemed to be the best of friends. Anyway, wish you the best – I really enjoyed your film.
In the meantime I came across another new film that talked about ‘crop circles’ and other interesting subjects – you might of heard about it – the title is “Frequency of Genius” you can google it and it should come up in youtube, too.
With much love and my prays are with you.
Thanks for the tip — will check it out. We were good freinds. At least I thought so, but it turns out I was useful to him — for as long as I was.
This kind of behavior is simply so far from what the whole paradigm shift is all about that I find it difficult to understand why or how Steve was chosen to be a spokesperson for any kind of change. He seems to be wholly involved in the outmoded and selfish way of thinking that has kept us Earthlings in the dark for so long! Even if I knew him, it seems doubtful he would listen to my plea. Unfortunately, Suzanne, I think you’re correct in your concern that this will garner you both bad publicity. All I can do is send out positive vibes and hope he picks up on them and does the right thing!
Remember the old tale of the woman who saved a snake and brought him into her house?!
Good luck and much love.
Dont know about the snake but I bet it’s the same as the scorpion – stinging the frog who took him across tke waterway was just his nature!
I was going to mention Richard Hoagland because when he stayed in Seattle he “lived” off a very nice lady and she had the worst time getting rid of him. That one can be proven if there is any doubt.
I’m shocked, Suzanne! Mr. Bassett has lost all credibility with me over this. (and I will let him know)
Best of luck on this — yes, you WILL win.

It’s a shame that Steve Bassett is behaving with such an obvious lack of integrity — I had previously thought he was a decent, above-board researcher of paranormal phenomena. I’m sorry that he is giving you such grief, Suzanne. I hope that he will give himself a shot of integrity and decency soon, and drop his bogus suit against you. It’s terrible that he has repaid your generosity with such slimy indecency.
“Slimy indecency” Forgive me, God, for liking that!
You have always been the epitomy of kindness. You have been positive when others have been negative. I don’t believe a word of Steve Bassett about you. I had the same thing happen to me, twice! Fortunately no court proceedings happened but it wasn’t a positive thing for me. I hope he realizes what a freeloader he is and quits what he has intended.
From your lips to God’s ear, as they say. Thanks!
So sorry, Suzanne. I also know how generous and well meaning you always have been and I have no idea who Steve is, but obviously some higher order of grace and harmony is needed and, I believe, always available although often there are big bumps and hard times along the way. Hopefully Steve will see that filling an action against you is only harming him and our system of mutual care and support. Breathe deeply, trust your good gentle lawyer, and know our prayers are with you (and Steve) to find a quick and easy resolution and release. You’re already okay. Jay
It’s making me cry to get such supportive responses. So very sweet.
I had a similar experience with someone who needed a home for a couple of weeks and stayed for 3 months. We live and learn…I hope you manage to overcome this. Life is too short for quarrels of this sort.
I’ve got another one, too, only for a few weeks, however, when Richard Hoagland was to stay at my house for a couple of nights. My favorite experience was at our local $2 bargain movie house, where we went together well into his stay. He was on the ticket line in front of me and he bought one ticket! When I asked mim to help get the word out about my movie, he reminded me I wasn’t so happy with him after his long stay and he refused to do anything.
Wait, how can Steve afford a lawyer?
Lawyer is on a contingency — and I presume is a buddy of Steve’s to have taken this loser case.
Dear Suzanne,
I’m sorry, on the one hand, that I don’t know this Steve Bassett person; because I’d love to help you out – I KNOW HOW GENEROUS AND KIND YOU ARE!!! On the other hand, perhaps I’m better off not knowing him as he seems to be a professional freeloader. Don’t you worry, Karma is always on the prowl!
Much love and all good things…,
Alex
Almost worth havign this situation for the lovely supportive responses — a lot of them to me personally. Thanks, Alex…xxx
