These kind of claims sound like psychiatric symptoms to me. It reminds me of the people who insist that the CIA has placed 'machines' in their walls to project crazy thoughts into their minds. (As if the CIA would waste its time in harassing schizophrenics.)
There's a bizarre kind of grandiosity to it, somebody's claim that he is so important for some totally exotic reason that the government (and/or space aliens and/or time-travelers) will rewrite history itself to discredit him. Which very neatly makes him into the most important person on Earth while excusing his inability to verify anything he says.
The Wikipedia article makes it sound like Lazar might not be crazy so much as he's just a bullshitter and a bit of a publicity seeker. He's apparently a guy with a few community college classes and a small-time criminal record. He's been shown to have lied about his claims to be a Cal Tech and an MIT graduate. His claims about having worked at Los Alamos and at the Nellis Range (area 51) appear to be false.
And as his earlier claims about how he knew about secret UFO reverse-engineering projects in the Nevada desert began to unravel, about all he could do is either admit lying or else double-down and compound the lies by claiming some grand conspiracy out to discredit him.
..., but I tend to think Lazar is, as you pretty much say, a liar. I wonder if he's made any type of a living out of his story...
Also, nobody has come forward saying they studied with Lazar. He can't name a fellow pupil, and the name he gave as his professor, was a lecturer at his community college, not at MIT or Caltech. No picture in a year book, not one graduation picture, or diploma, and just one cheque stub from Area51.

Is it possible that the government really does erase beneficial history and records of someone they deem as a perceived threat to some withheld area of security? How can someone prove otherwise if espionage was carried out against them that essentially took their credentials?
He makes an interesting story, since there seems to be some evidence suggesting to his case. But otherwise, I'd bet my money he's never worked among alien spacecraft at area 51.
Have not read any of this thread? What evidence is "suggesting to his case"?
His story is complete nonsense. You can't erase every yearbook. Apparently he had access to area 51 for a day or so, [my joke is that he cleaned the toilets] but his academic background simply doesn't check out.
Stanton Friedman, who is himself a dedicated ufologist and true believer, is the first to slam Lazar as a fraud.

I have books on the which have mentioned the subject. I remember some investigator had actually found out he (had worked or educated?) at a certain place which had denied knowledge of him even being there in the first place. I mean, I will look this out if you want.
MAIN point is, he's still a crank.

What you likely had was a book by a hack trying to cash in on Lazar's story.
Check sifreak's post back to me. Clearly he knew what I was referring too.
Anyway, maybe you'll believe everything you are told, or that you can't tell fact from fiction. I on the other hand, can and certainly would not have made a mistake like the one you have elluded too... as has been shown above by sifreak.
Sifreak didn't show anything, he simply speculated.
You're very gullible, so long as what you're being told agrees with your worldview.
He was right. That was what I was referring to. I know this, because he jogged my memory. Read your facts first. Then make stupid comments like this if you want.
Atleast investigate it.
What was he right about? Neither of you have demonstrated anything. You've only claimed to "remember" certain disputable items.
