LIGHT WAS SHED on why PlanetX Live discontinued broadcasting their Sunday night show on 105.9 FM.
However, the person making this declaration - "Sue Field" - appeared
to be just another of Darren Perks' aliases.
Firstly I agree mostly here with you there is more to this guy than meets the eye for
sure. I know someone in the Army
in Wiltshire who knows of him and he has been seen quite a few times around Salisbury
with the MoD. He was also spotted with
QinetiQ and Farnborough IAT 2013 where he posed a rather nice 'security pass' on his chest
pocket.....
This guy did find out lots of info it seems and now he and his colleagues behind the scenes
will have huge files on all who
have interacted etc with him. think about the real reason Planet X Live was pulled off
live transmission in Liverpool. it
was this guy and his MoD colleagues that slowly grinded away at Bauer a Media and eventually
go them to pull the show.
Perks hanging out with the Ministry of Defence?
Perks and the MoD were the cause of PlanetX Live being taken off the airwaves?
The fairy stories just kept on coming!
The problem we have here is that "Sue Field" and Darren Perks are one and the
same, and because everything that
Perks claims is untrue, this is, yet again, another of Perks' tall tales.
The first week of February 2014 was a strange week for coincidences
On Wednesday evening, 5th February 2014, we had some page visits from a familiar frequenter
of our website, but this person
seemed more interested in this SIRIUS page than normal.
The visitor entered our site from the Above Top Secret Forum
The visit to this SIRIUS page occurred at 21:33:16 GMT on 5th February 2014 according
to the Tripod/Lycos server log.
The visitor stayed on the SIRIUS page for just under 3 minutes then headed off to a couple
of other random pages, so as to
give the impression of having just landed on our site to do some browsing. This is the
normal M.O. of Perks.
Then, shortly afterwards, what seems to us to be a rather strange coincidence apparently
occurred.
We were advised during the evening of 6th February 2014, by Mr Scott Felton, that he had
been contacted by the property owner
of his former residence.
The property owner informed Mr. Felton that a Mr. Dave Stretch had called the house telephone
twice on Wednesday night, 5th
February 2014, at approximately 21:45 GMT, asking after him.
However, the property owner had informed the caller that Mr. Felton was no longer at that
residence.
What is even more curious is just how Mr. Stretch obtained that house land line number
considering that it was ex-directory/unlisted!
On Saturday 8th February 2014, we heard about more 'phone calls to Mr. Felton's former
home land line. The callers never
identified themselves, but what was interesting to us were the times at which the calls
were placed.
They all occurred around 21:45h GMT, just like the calls from Mr. Dave Stretch on the
night of Wednesday, 5th February 2014
(as mentioned above.)
Early on 9th February 2014, at 02:53:09 GMT and later at 09:47:29 GMT, this SIRIUS page
had visits from someone - a frequent
visitor - who seems very keen to check on the updates here. He popped back again throughout
the day. It's good to see that
our investigations were appreciated.
On 13th February 2014 there was still no sign of life at PlanetX Live - the site was just showing a 403 error.
On 18th February 2014, life appeared to have returned somewhat to PlanetX Live. But there
was a large notice
on their main page announcing server upgrading and maintenance. Nothing had really changed
regarding programming and it seems that the server issue was never resolved.
On the evening of 27th February 2014 the site appeared to be offline again and was just showing as a 403 error.
The PlanetX Live website and public Facebook had a notice posted on Sunday, 26th January 2014, announcing some server maintenance and upgrades. Apparently
there were some "streaming server issues" to be resolved.
The time indicated in the screenshot below is EST, so please add 5 hours for GMT.
Mr. Scott Felton provided Xpose UFO Truth with the exchanges between himself and
Mr. Dave Stretch of PlanetX Live.
It seemed, at least to us, that Mr. Stretch was extremely confused as to what the issues
actually were regarding Perks' association with PlanetX Live, and how these issues could in some way affect the impression
that PlanetX Live
was attempting to create - that of "eXposing the Truth"
But first, let us go back to the very beginning of this SIRIUS saga.
**********************************
The story started on 28th April 2013.
On air, PlanetX Live Team Member Darren Perks was giving away a pirated copy of Dr.
Greer's SIRIUS documentary and announced the fact during the PlanetX Live show that was broadcast on 105.9
FM.
The link to the pirated copy of Dr. Greer's documentary was posted on the PlanetX Live
web site.
The link changed over the course of three days as the video was taken down from Youtube
and then Live Leak due
to copyright violations by the uploader, Darren Perks. The video eventually sat on VEOH
for some time before that was
also removed, and the account deleted.
Full details of all those shenanigans are described further down this page.
In his communications with Mr. Felton, it was suggested by Mr. Stretch that we, Xpose
UFO Truth, just leave the subject
alone.
Why? It seems that things which have occurred in the past do not matter, according to
Mr. Stretch, that is.
Mr. Stretch keyed to Mr. Felton on 23rd January 2014:
"What has happened in the past has happened."
However, we had no intention of leaving the subject alone.
We wanted to know why it was that Perks was allowed to behave the way he did on live
radio, putting PlanetX
Live into a seemingly sticky position regarding copyright violation.
Mr. Stretch appeared to be claiming that he was unaware of Perks' copyright violation
and other wrongdoings. But Mr. Stretch
also does seemed to have been aware, at some stage, of what Perks was doing!
This was indicated in a line from Mr. Stretch's response to Mr. Felton.
Mr. Stretch keyed to Mr. Felton on 23rd January 2014:
"Perks f***ed (expletive modified - ed.) off last year and I did really
not see for the very short time he
was with us what he was like."
Mr. Stretch did clear one point up, though.
There had been some vagueness regarding PlanetX Live and Bauer Media.
Thanks to Mr. Stretch for clarifying this point.
On 23rd January 2014, Mr. Stretch keyed to Mr. Felton:
"Most of the info you have is in correct[sic], btw the owners of PX was[sic] never
Bauer Media, or Radio City or City
Talk it was PX we between us Neal and Myself paid £200 a week studio fee and £200 a week
air time fee only to get what you
guys wanted on main stream and yes PX did it for 18 Months, work the sums out we had no
sponsors like TPV it was us paying
it out of our own pocket, and we get this sh*t ?" (expletive modified - ed.)
If Mr. Dave Stretch (and, presumably, the late Mr. Neal Atkinson,) realised just what
Perks was up to, then why did they continue to
entertain his presence on their live radio show?
How was that a good idea?
Did they not check with Perks, prior to going live on air, to see what he had planned
for his part in the show/s?
Did they know about Perks' hoaxing of UFO events?
Did they know about The Alamo Hoax of 30th December 2012, submitted to MUFON? That "event" received a huge amount of coverage on the Internet! How could they not
have known about it?
Did they know about The Wrekin Orange Sphere Hoax? - the hoax that Perks had elaborately perpetrated using another person's image taken fourteen months prior
to his alleged sighting?
That particular hoax was submitted to Andy Mannion's website.
Did they know about Perks' impersonation of an officer of HM Government (Revenue and Customs)
to intimidate Mr. Phil Hoyle
regarding taxes?
Did they know about Perks using numerous aliases (including my Hotmail account name) to
defame and discredit Mr. Phil Hoyle all over
the Internet?
Did they know about all the intimidation - including foul language in the communications
- of genuine researchers?
Would Perks himself have informed Mr. Atkinson and Mr. Stretch of his wrongdoings? We
think it unlikely.
For a live radio show that claimed to be "eXposing the Truth" they were
sadly lacking in their background
checks of their "Team Member" Darren Perks who was busy impersonating a number
of real people, as well as making
up fictitious names, to spread lies across the Internet.
Regarding the issue of the two aforementioned hoaxes, we are still questioning whether
or not Perks actually saw what he claimed
to have seen on the night of 30th March 1993 - Cosford or Cosfraud - given his established reputation for being a blatant liar.
Unfortunately, for Mr. Stretch at least, we are not in the habit of letting things go
just because an incident might be "in
the past".
PlanetX Live claimed to seek and speak the "Truth On Air."
But it seemed that "Off Air" the situation turned out to be slightly
different.
Xpose UFO Truth and others were curious to know why the 28th April 2013 show did
not get uploaded to Youtube as have
other shows before and since that date.
After all, the subject of the Atacama humanoid was an important one, and the SIRIUS documentary was making quite a stir on the Internet.
The Atacama humanoid had been discussed on the 28th April 2013 show, so why not put that show on Youtube for future reference?
Additionally, what happened to the 19th May 2013 show that went AWOL also?
That particular show of 19th May 2013 - the one in which Mr. Neal Atkinson mentioned that
PlanetX Live would no longer be broadcast
on 105.9 FM - would surely be an important one to put up on Youtube.
Anyone who had missed the 19th May 2013 show would then be able to "catch up",
as it were, and hear about
the move from 105.9 FM to streaming via the Internet.
Mr. Atkinson had started his 19th May 2013 speech by saying:
"Now before we get into our first guest I did mention at the start of the show
that there are some changes. Changes
are a-happenin' to Planet X and I'd like to concentrate on the positives cos we're all
about the positives not the negatives
on this show."
Mr. Atkinson concluded his speech that night with the following:
"We will still be live but unfortunately if you can only listen on the radio you
will have to find another way to
catch us either on Planet X Live dot co dot UK, or on City Talk dot FM with the podcast
or listen out to the "catch
up on Youtube".
Please see further down this page for the transcript of Mr. Atkinson's speech.
Note: There was a show uploaded to Youtube and labelled as that of 19th
May 2013, but the content was that of
12th May 2013 featuring Dolores Cannon and James Rink.
We were also curious as to why Mr. Atkinson did not explain - during the 19th May
2013 show - why it was that PlanetX
Live was no longer to broadcast on 105.9 FM.
On 22nd May 2013, three days after the broadcast, Perks put up his version of the story
on his now-defunct UFO Shropshire
web site saying:
"Planet X Live is a radio show that I am involved in and a member of the show
team. We have been broadcasting on
City Talk 105.9 fm from Liverpool, live every Sunday from 8pm to 10pm.
However due to changes with programme direction and it seems cut backs at City Talk, the
station has decided to drop some
of the shows. This is understood to make way for more 'music' on City Talk, which is
a great shame. I disagree with this
decision and I know many people are unhappy about it too.
But it now means that Planet X Live can now broadcast online as normal every Sunday
from 8pm to 10pm right across the globe
with no restrictions. By restrictions I mean no set advert slots, and listeners in
the USA and other countries can listen
live without having to wait for the show to be uploaded to the website or Youtube. On
105.9 fm there is a broadcast restriction
outside of the UK to certain places.
The show has over 90,000 listeners per month and is growing in popularity. By going online
this will increase the listeners
and means we are not regulated on what and how we talk about subjects. There will also
be the continuation of the varied
guests we have on the show covering a whole range of subjects.
You can listen back to shows on the website or on the show Youtube channel. Subscribers
to Planet Extra can also access exclusive
interviews with guests that were not aired with extra subjects and content.
Onwards and upwards for Planet X Live!"
If Perks was able to publish the reasons for Planet X Live moving to an online
venue only, then why would Mr. Atkinson
not do the same during his speech on the night of the 19th May 2013?
If things were so rosy and improving - worldwide coverage instead of just the NW of the
UK - why the grumbling sounds in the
background and mention of "negatives?"
What "negatives" could there possibly be under the new régime with additional
listeners worldwide?
On 12th February 2014 the PlanetX Live website appeared to have gone offline, presumably
to undergo some overhauling/upgrading
or similar.
A CHANGE OF DIRECTION?
But what of Perks?
Mr. Dave Stretch keyed, in his communication to Mr. Scott Felton on 23rd January 2014:
"Perks f***ed (expletive modified - ed.) off last year and I did really
not see for the very short time he
was with us what he was like."
The last we heard of Perks was that he had migrated north of the border to Scotland and
was apparently working with Scott Country International in Castle Douglas.
Perks had been seen appearing in Scott Country International's promotional videos for
various types of night vision equipment
and also as the editor of some of their video presentations.
Here is Perks presenting Episode Two of The Night Vision Show.
Click on the image below to view the Youtube video.
Above image is a screenshot of Youtube video
Maybe Perks had found himself a new niche in life helping to promote merchandise for Scott Country International.
On the weekend of 14th to 16th February 2014, Perks was promoting Scott Country International's night vision devices at the British Shooting Show held in Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire.
Here is Perks posing with a night vision device on Scott Country's Facebook.
Above image is a screenshot of image on Scott Country International's Facebook page
May 2014: Word reached us that Perks had moved on to pastures new and was no longer
with Scott Country International.
NOTE RE PIRATED COPIES OF SIRIUS
The UK "investigative researcher" Darren Perks (website now defunct) who was offering Dr. Greer's documentary for free has also
been impersonating a large number of researchers and some government officials. He thought
he was covering his tracks by using
the "Hide My Ass" proxy but it did not work too well!
Also included further down this "Sirius" page is a screenshot showing Perks' comment
on Above Top Secret forum
where, hiding behind the screen name "xutlady," he makes a very derogatory
comment about Dr. Greer.
Read our three part article on how Perks impersonated Linda Moulton-Howe using
"Hide My Ass," and an officer
of Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, to name just two examples.
Three Part Article on how IP addresses can be
the downfall of the impersonator and hoaxer
Observations Regarding Copyright Issues
and also
Planet X Live and The Citizen Hearing on Disclosure
"Sirius is a feature length documentary that follows Dr. Steven Greer, an emergency
room doctor turned UFO researcher,
as he struggles to disclose top secret information about classified energy and propulsion
techniques. The documentary's premiere
was on 22nd April 2013 in Los Angeles, California."
Please click on the image below for details regarding the documentary
At the time when we were starting to write this article the video had not yet been released
on DVD. People could still rent
the video for 72 hours. Dollars were/are involved here. This presentation COST MONEY!
However, those small details appear
to have eluded Darren Perks, Investigative Researcher, Broadcaster and Media Contributor!
On 28th April 2013 the Sirius documentary was reviewed on Planet X Live by Planet X Team Member Darren Perks
Perks directed listeners to go to the Planet X Forums to obtain a copy of the Sirius documentary.
The link provided in the Planet X Live forum was to the Youtube channel of UFO SHROPSHIRE, (Youtube account long since deleted) with the upload date showing as 24th April 2013. Click on the
images
below to see the full size versions of the screenshots.
NOTE that the video had already received 27 views when this screenshot below was
taken. If those people were to actually
purchase the genuine article - Dr. Greer's SIRIUS DVD, once released - they would have
to pay $19.99 per copy.
Potential revenue lost? I doubt Perks would care even had he thought about this!
After all, look what he says about Dr. Greer further down this page. Perks (using my
Hotmail address name "xutlady")
posted on the ATS forums calling Dr. Greer a "media whore."
However, the video soon disappeared from the UFO Shropshire channel.
Perks was not long in providing a link to another location, this time on the LiveLeak
site.
Click on the image below to see the full size version of the screenshot.
But, that was a short-lived location for the documentary as the video was removed due
to copyright violation! Perks violating
copyright? Click on the image below to see the full size version of the screenshot.
Not to be daunted, Perks then changed location and uploaded the video to VEOH.
Note that Perks invited people to email him for the documentary residing on his Drop Box!
Click on the image below to see the full size version of the screenshot.
This screenshot shows a partial list of topics on Planet X as of 1st May 2013 with
the Sirius Documentary included
Click on the image below to see full the size version of the screenshot
So we followed the VEOH link from Planet X.
Look what we found!
Click on the image below to see the full size version of the screenshot.
And here is a screenshot of DeltaLima78's VEOH profile showing that the account had only just been created.
DeltaLima78 = Darren Lee (born 1978) maybe??
Click on the image below to see the full version of the screenshot.
On 5th May 2013 we tuned in to listen to Planet X Live but there was no show on air.
On checking their website there was
a notice that had been put up by Perks explaining that "due to unforeseen circumstances"
the show would not
be broadcast that night. James Rink would be featured the following week, apparently.
Click on the image below to see the full size version of the screenshot.
On 6th May 2013 the Sirius Documentary still appeared on the list of Planet X's topics.
Click on the image below to see the full size version of the screenshot.
On 7th May 2013 a notice was posted on PlanetX Live's Facebook page.
No doubt this was the explanation for the missing show on the 5th May 2013.
The website had been hacked!
Of course it had! What better way to avoid any accountability for the copyright violations?
On the 12th May 2013 PlanetX Live broadcast a show featuring Dolores Cannon and James
Rink. At the start of the show Neal
Atkinson explained that there had been some problems the previous week. He mentioned
that he had had a virus, and so too
had their website! This was all intended to explain the cancelled show.
And so to 13th May 2013. The documentary was still up on DeltaLima78's channel
(now defunct) on VEOH.
NOTE that the video views now totalled 188 and just to think, had those
people actually purchased the DVD from
Dr. Greer at $19.99 per copy, that is quite a bit of revenue lost!
Click on the images below to see full size versions of the screenshots.
However, the Sirius Documentary was no longer included in the list of Planet X's topics.
Why would this be?
So now, what did we have?
This individual, Darren Perks, working as a team member of Planet X Live Radio (broadcast
on a station owned by Bauer Media,)
apparently violating copyright and uploading a pirated copy of Dr. Greer's documentary
to Youtube.
When that copy was removed he uploaded the documentary to LiveLeak but that copy was
also removed due to copyright violation.
Did Perks think that this was all quite okay?
Then he uploaded the video to VEOH under the account name of DeltaLima78.
Not only that, but Perks was openly inviting listeners of Planet X Live to go to the forum
and watch this pirated video!
He even invited people to email him so that he could send them the full video on his Drop
Box!
This whole copyright infringement/violation scenario is truly mind-boggling!
On 14th May 2013
the Sirius movie/documentary video had been deleted from DeltaLima78's VEOH channel.
But, what did I also find? DeltaLima78's VEOH account had evaporated!!!
One really had to wonder as to why this occurred and on live radio? It truly boggles the
mind!
We believe that Perks knew perfectly well what copyright was all about.
Notice here how he had put copyright advisements on this "Multiple UFOs Over UK" video
on his UFO Shropshire Youtube channel.
Click on the image below to see the full-size screenshot.
How would Perks feel if something upon which he had spent hundreds and hundreds of hours
working was then pilfered in a moment
and put up on someone's Youtube, LiveLeak or VEOH channel?
We tuned into Planet X Live and there was an announcement at the beginning of the show that there were to be some changes
made starting the next week, 26th May 2013.
It turned out that Planet X would no longer be broadcasting on FM Radio, only via the
Internet. See further down the page for
details regarding this announcement.
We were looking forward to hearing Stephen Bassett of the Paradigm Research Group discuss the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure that had been held in Washington, D.C.
Unfortunately, there seemed to be a problem regarding Mr. Bassett's interview and he was
unreachable.
Co-host Darren Perks said that he had been in contact with Mr. Bassett and had received
an email explaining the financial
situation.
Perks then read out the email wherein Mr. Bassett explained that unauthorised full
sessions of the Citizen Hearing
were being uploaded to Youtube and how this would affect the financial situation of Paradigm
Research Group.
Perks even mentioned "Sirius" as being a similar situation!
At that moment we were wondering if Perks remembered how he had uploaded the full
Sirius documentary to his UFO
Shropshire Youtube Channel on 24th April 2013.
Did he remember that he had then uploaded the full Sirius documentary to Live Leak?
And then, when that copy was deleted
for copyright violation, did he remember that he had then uploaded the full Sirius
video to his VEOH account?
As Perks concluded his quote from Mr. Bassett's email regarding the issue of copyright
and a potential large loss of money,
he added: "Fair comment, I think."
However, had Mr. Bassett been able to answer the question of funding, then we would not
have heard Perks himself read
out the email describing the unauthorised uploading of the Citizen Hearing videos - a
situation just like when he uploaded
an unauthorised copy of Dr. Greer's Sirius documentary to his various online video accounts.
Perks then assured listeners that Mr. Bassett would be on the show at some time in the
future.
20th May 2013
Information regarding Planet X Live and FM 105.9
Neal Atkinson, host of Planet X Live, stated the following during the 19th May 2013 show:
"Now before we get into our first guest I did mention at the start of the show that
there are some changes. Changes are
a-happenin' to Planet X and I'd like to concentrate on the positives cos we're all about
the positives not the negatives on
this show.
So from next week we won't be on the FM frequency 105.9 so I'm sorry if you listen to
us in the car, especially all the taxi
drivers, I know, Dave, you've got a lot of taxi driver mates haven't you?
(Dave agreed saying "they listen every week.")
...And anyone in the north west who listens on the radio you won't be able to get us on
the FM frequency 105.9.
However, we will still be broadcasting here live at City Talk at the studios at the top
of the tower.
We'll still be here and the show will be streaming live at the same time from eight o'clock
every Sunday.
So, there will be a podcast version available on CityTalk dot FM and as well as that there
will be the catch up version on
Youtube.
So, the positives!
It's going to be live.
You can listen anywhere in the world which previously a lot of our friends from different
corners of the world in America
and in Europe couldn't listen until it came out on Youtube.
So that's good.
So we will be live, streaming live from eight o'clock and another good one - we
will be commercial-free - which I think
will help with the flow of the show and if you've listened over the past year you'll know
that we do run out of time (chuckles)
with a lot of the guests, so that won't happen.
And we'll be able to tackle even more controversial topics and subjects.
We won't be as limited as we normally have been, and to quote a Mr. David Icke: 'We'll
be able to go even further down the
rabbit hole.'
So that is from next week.
We will still be live but unfortunately if you can only listen on the radio you will have
to find another way to catch us
either on Planet X Live dot co dot UK, or on City Talk dot FM with the podcast or listen
out to the catch up on Youtube."
NOTE:
A 19th May 2013 show was uploaded to Planet X's Youtube channel but the content was that
of the 12th May 2013 with Dolores
Cannon and James Rink as the guests. Where did the "real" 19th May 2013 show
go?
On 2nd June 2013, Perks hastily posted the following on his Facebook account, directing
readers to the legal
version of Dr. Greer's Sirius documentary video.
No doubt this ruse was to distract people from the issue of the pirated version of the
documentary that Perks had been hosting
on his own Youtube et al channels.
NOTE
Darren Perks and his (dis)regard for Dr. Steven Greer
As our readers know by now, Perks was using my "xutlady" name/handle on
various forums to defame Mr. Phil Hoyle,
myself and our research. Please see:
Here is a posting by Perks (yet again using "xutlady" as an alias) defaming
Dr. Steven Greer on Above Top Secret
forums on 5th January 2013.
5th January 2013 was 3 days after Xpose UFO Truth first outed Perks on his
Alamo Sphere UFO Hoax. By this time Perks was really working on his campaign of discrediting our research and that of our colleagues.
The "well-known" (Perks' words) "Investigative Researcher" from the UK had been caught doing some faking and did
not like being Xposed.
In this posting on Above Top Secret Forums Perks called Dr. Greer a "media whore."
Maybe someone needed to check
in his own mirror!
Is it not strange that he was then hosting Dr. Greer's "Sirius" video on his own
Youtube channel on 24th April
2013, and promoting it on 28th April 2013 on Planet X Live? What changed? Here was the
post by Perks on the ATS website where he used my Hotmail account name as his alias:
NOTE:
Lest there be any shadow of doubt that "xutlady" was anyone other than Darren
Perks - and this issue
is mentioned in various places on our site - only three people knew of that "handle"
that was part of my Hotmail address.
Two of those people can be completely ruled out of the picture.
That leaves just one person - Darren Perks - and I had registered with the "xutlady"
Hotmail address
for membership of Perks' website UFO SHROPSHIRE on 16th May 2012. I was approved
on 18th May 2012 when Perks was still
away in the United States on his free holiday with BBC3.
Rather damning evidence, is it not?
We were very grateful to Mark W. Allin, Chief Operations Officer at The Above
Network, for rapidly dealing with
the unpleasant situation regarding defamatory posts made about us and our colleague Mr.
Phil Hoyle - using my Hotmail "name"
- earlier this year.
