Hiya
Fair enough, maybe I am impatient, but I don;t thaink it's all down to the evil conspiracy to silence him, it might partly be that it's hard to get such views taken seriously in the mainstream (I'm sure that is the case) but he has failed to come up with the goods and get solid proof out there.
It's no use just telling people about things, he's got to get the science examined and for at least some reputable mainstream scientist to agree it's got some merit, and he's got to produce the materialisation mediums he has been saying are ready and waiting to prove life after death to the world in a testable way. I don't see that people like him and Spiritualists can just go on and on with tired excuses like we can't have scientific conditions in séance rooms -- or even light (!) - because it disturbs the ectoplasm etc. There WERE proven frauds in Victorian times and the early 20th C and they tarnished the name of Spiritualism for the genuine mediums, but people who have genuine gifts of "physical mediumship , assume they exist, must come forward, as promised, and allow at least reasonably rigourous monitoring of what they do so as to dispell the fraudulent image.
If all we get is a few spooky phenomena of floating trumpets covered in luminous paint and disembodied voices and touches on the shoulder etc like 100 years ago (as sounded like was going on in a séance reported on one physical mediumship site I saw) they might as well just give up now.
I feel disappointed becasue I saw Michael Roll do a speech about 12 years ago or something and he was putting forward all the same things as on that video (not surprising, as the video was recorded around then). Also, I've looked at his site before and it seems to mostly consist of inconclusive items, such as letters he has written to well-known people complaining about the evils of dogmatic mainstream religion on the one hand and closed-minded scientists on the other, with the odd polite reply he has recieved. And he is still making the same claims based on Pearson's work supposedly having been accepted by some science journal in Moscow years ago etc and still promising a breakthrough is coming any moment.
