Secret United Nations Meetings on Extraterrestrial Life Continue: Threats Used to Prevent Diplomatic Leaks


On October 8, 2008, I met with the original source that disclosed that a secret meeting had been held at the United Nations headquarters in New York City on February 12 to discus UFOs and extraterrestrial life. The original source, Source A, discussed the most recent developments concerning secret meetings conducted under UN auspices to discuss UFOs and extraterrestrial life. The October 8 meeting was attended by Source A, Clay and Shawn Pickering (who kindly set up the meeting) and Bob Vanderclock. I spent a total of 4.5 hours discussing the UN meetings and related issues with Source A, and others present. Source A was dressed in full US Navy uniform with identifying insignia including name and rank. He showed me his military I.D. which confirmed his name, rank and pay scale. His I.D. card was valid for a three year period and had a vertical barcode on the left hand side next to his photo.
He subsequently showed me an album filled with photos, military patches and cards that represented his various assignments and awards since first joining the US Navy in the 1960s. He explained each of the pages inside of his album to all present. The material he showed conclusively proved that he was an electronics warfare specialist with the US Navy. With all the documentation presented and his full dress Navy uniform, it was clear that he is a serving US Navy officer willing to discuss sensitive information concerning UFOs and extraterrestrial life. From his careful and precise choice of language, clarity of expression, demeanor, eye-contact and other non-verbal cues, Source A appeared very personable and sincere in the information he was disclosing.
Source A said that as far as his military superiors in the normal chain of command are concerned, they are aware of his role in leaking sensitive information. They have a tacit policy of not wanting to know what he is doing, and are not taking action to prevent him disclosing the sensitive information. It was understood that getting national media exposure would force the Navy to take disciplinary action. That is one of the main reasons why the identity of Source A has not been publicly released. He has however agreed to be physically interviewed and shown his credentials to the following researchers: Clay and Shawn Pickering, Bob Vanderclock, Robert Morningstar, Dr Bruce Maccabee, two other unnamed researchers, and most recently myself on October 8.
During the meeting, Source A disclosed that he continues to work under the direction of a US Navy admiral who is in command of the controlled leak of the meetings occurring under UN auspices. This admiral was unnamed and is not part of the official chain of military command for Source A, but is his superior in covert operations that have need-to-know security status. Thus it's important to emphasize that Source A's disclosures are not part of official US Navy policy, but is orchestrated by a covert operations group comprising senior Navy officials (admirals) and others.
In this article, I will discuss three aspects of what Source A revealed concerning the UN meetings at our October 8 meeting: continued meetings under UN auspices; physical threats to prevent diplomatic disclosure of the UN meetings; and role of international corporations.
Further UN Meetings After the initial meeting on February 12, 2008, disclosed by Source A (not including the February 13-14 meeting disclosed by Gilles Lorant) there have been an additional three meetings attended by Source A. Another two meetings were held without Source A after he had been reassigned. Source A was replaced by another military officer who he has yet to meet. The same US Navy admiral remained in control of the US delegation even though he didn't attend the additional meetings. All five additional meetings involved military representatives from member UN nations that attended the February 12 meeting with important additions and changes in personnel in attendance. All but the first were held outside of the UN headquarters and involved military officials. The composition, origin and diplomatic briefing responsibility of those attending the meetings does invite referring to them as a series of 'UN inspired meetings concerning extraterrestrial life'.
Four additional meetings were held in Upstate New York. Upstate NY was chosen in order to have a more secure environment to that available at the UN due to the sensitive nature of the material discussed. Upstate NY also provided a more conducive environment for reaching consensus on issues that proved to be contentious at the original February 12 meeting.
According to Source A, the February 12 meeting was a diplomatic fiasco. There were too many senior diplomatic officials involved and discussions quickly became politicized. The US Navy admiral in charge of Source A's controlled leak of information on the UN meetings, along with other senior diplomatic officials at the ambassadorial rank and senior military officials attended the February 12 meeting. The admiral continues to be in charge of the US delegation to all subsequent meetings emerging from the first UN meeting.
Source A says he travelled to Europe after the February 12 meeting to find the right military people for the forthcoming meetings to be held at Upstate NY. He went to every country in Europe in order to find out who was hostile and who was ambivalent concerning disclosure of extraterrestrial life.
It was decided that no further meetings were required at the UN since key players were known, and they could be invited to Upstate NY for additional meetings. All invited to the Upstate NY meetings were military liaisons of UN member states. These involved middle ranking officers since consensus was more likely to occur without senior diplomats who had the tendency to politicize discussions. It was decided that having middle ranking military liaisons would help keep a low profile on the difficult negotiations required for a coordinated international response to extraterrestrial life. All military liaison personnel at the Upstate NY meetings would brief senior officials in their respective diplomatic corps at the UN.
Source A said that that various nations were either in favor or opposed to a coordinated international disclosure effort. Source A emphasized that the US Navy has always been pro-disclosure and due to its leading role in policy issues concerning extraterrestrial life and the UN meetings, made the US pro-disclosure. The French along with Britain was also in favor of disclosure. Britain, however, asked that the US should lead the effort. Germany, Saudi Arabia and Islamic countries more generally were hostile to disclosure. Source A said India was "impossible to deal with". Military liaison(s) from China attended all the Upstate NY meetings (though not the original February 12 meeting) and said that the US should "pay for disclosure". According to Source A this was a considerable point of contention.
The subsequent meetings at Upstate NY were chaired by different countries. Source A was the highest ranking US officer at the first three post-February 12 meetings held at Upstate NY until he was replaced for the last two which were held respectively in Upstate NY and an undisclosed location in Europe.
The second UN UFO/ET meeting (the first held at Upstate NY) was held from March 24-26 and was chaired by the military liaison from Britain. Source A revealed that this was very productive in terms of consensus, goals and vision. A table of contents concerning key issues to be discussed was produced which presumably would help guide future discussions. This meeting lasted the full three days that were scheduled. China was present at the 2nd and subsequent meetings at Upstate NY and Europe.
The third UN UFO/ET meeting (second at Upstate NY) was chaired by the senior military liaison from France. According to Source A, this meeting was a disaster. This meeting ran from May 19-21 and focused on economic issues that was revealed in an earlier communication released by Clay and Sean Pickering. This meeting lasted three days.
The fourth UN UFO/ET meeting was chaired by the senior US military liaison which was Source A. An attempt was made to find neutral territory, but was unsuccessful. This meeting again, according to Source A, was a disaster. It lasted only one day from the three scheduled. The meeting occurred just prior to Source A leaving for another covert assignment at the end of May 2008.
Source A emphasized that the US Navy (and Marines) has always been focused on overall policy issues concerning extraterrestrials, while the USAF handled contact with extraterrestrial life. The US Army, Department of Energy and Department of Homeland Security have been responsible for security and bases. This is corroborated by reports that extraterrestrials had in the past showed up USAF bases to deal with representatives of the Eisenhower administration. Also, whistleblower reports confirm that Army forces have been involved with enforcing security at bases involving extraterrestrial related projects.
Source A said that USAF has handed off to the US Navy responsibility for a specific contact project involving the extraterrestrials discussed in the February 12 meeting. That means that US Navy has begun to play a role in both setting policy and contact with at least one form of extraterrestrial life.
The fifth UN UFO/ET meeting was attended by the replacement of Source A whose identity has not been revealed. This meeting was again held in Upstate NY. According to the US Navy admiral in overall charge of the US delegation (led by Source A's replacement) the meeting was cordial.
The sixth meeting was held outside of the US (in Europe) for security reasons. According to the admiral, those involved in the European meeting were "doing good work"
Source A emphasized that the military liaisons at this series of UN inspired meetings were trying to get agreement on how to nations ought to respond to the prospect of extraterrestrial vehicles appearing over countries. It's worth pointing out that this is the same scenario that was debated in the Japanese parliament in December 2007. It led to the Japanese Minister of Defense making a statement concerning how the Japanese self defense force might respond to such a scenario.
Source A said further that the admiral in charge of the covert disclosure process revealed the talking points for the last two meetings held without Source A's attendance. These included the following:
1. "What if [extraterrestrial] spacecraft start making demands?"2. "If they [extraterrestrials] do make demands, what should be our responses as a collective people?"3. If the craft appear without any hostile intent, there should be agreement that no hostile action is taken by any nation. 4. That NATO should take whatever measures necessary to ensure no hostile response is taken in response to the appearance of any ETV occurs.5. International Banking systems should keep operating with minimal disruption to economic systems.6. How to ensure the global distribution of extraterrestrial knowledge and technology.
According to Source A, point six was the most difficult issue in the discussions.
Threats to UN Diplomatic CommunityI raised the issue of two independent reports that diplomats had been physically threatened to remain silent about UN discussions on UFOs and extraterrestrial life. I emphasized that one of the sources involved a senior European diplomat that had relayed that the physical threats were genuine and diplomats were being silenced.
Source A mentioned that one of the reasons that the UN had been chosen was that the diplomatic community is very good at leaking information. This was an important consideration in the controlled leakage initiated by the admiral and other senior Navy officials "to gauge the responses." In particular, they wanted to see the public response to the UN disclosures, and also the media response. The choice of UN ambassadors to receive the information was a strategic choice to help move forward the disclosure process. All ambassadors were fully briefed by their military liaisons on what transpired at the Upstate NY and European meetings. The Ambassadors were therefore an important part of the controlled leak and the covert Navy group is very interested in any threats made against them that impacts on the disclosure process.
Source A said that the world is hostile to extraterrestrial disclosure, that's what the US Navy's covert group is finding out. They are trying to find out where the hostility is coming from and whether it can be neutralized and reduced.
Source A confirmed the independent reports that UN diplomats were being threatened not to reveal to the public anything about the secret UN meetings discussing extraterrestrial life. Source A got his confirmation from unauthorized sources that he pointed out were more accurate than authorized sources. Unauthorized sources involved covert intelligence operations, and that Source A's counterparts from the British M.O.D. were involved.
The covert Navy group behind the UN disclosures is trying to track down the source of the threats to the UN diplomats. So far these have been traced to international corporations.
The Role of International CorporationsI asked Source A if he was familiar with the Admiral Wilson incident where in 1997 in a meeting with Dr Stephen Greer and Dr Edgar Mitchell, Wilson was given codes to classified extraterrestrial related projects . Dr Mitchell recently commented in an interview about the incident substantially confirming what Greer had earlier disclosed.
I pointed out that Admiral Wilson was apparently denied access by the attorneys of a corporation. Source A said that many defense projects are subcontracted out to corporations. While DARPA may have started as the lead agency, they then subcontracted out to US and international contractors, e.g., SAIC, Lockheed, BAE, Airbus, EADS, etc. He pointed out that Corporations are much better at keeping secrets than the military. Small companies often chosen to do black projects, e.g., 300 employees. They can more easily enforce discipline to keep the projects secret. The US Defense Industry is filled with projects given to corporations. From our discussion, it was clear that there was much concern over the prominent role played by corporations in controlling information and access to extraterrestrial related projects.
ConclusionThere has been partial confirmation for the original meeting on February 12 from a number of independent sources. Due to the anonymous nature of these independent sources, there still has not been any significant media interest in the meetings conducted at the UN on February 12. Only the UFO/exopolitics community has shown any sustained interest in Source A's disclosures and have attempted to verify these. Most of these efforts have occurred in association with members of the Open Minds Forum that has devoted considerable time and energy in investigating various aspects of Source A's disclosures. The continued meetings in Upstate NY and Europe revealed by Source A require independent confirmation. Further investigation is required to confirm the meetings themselves, as well as their content and nations involved.
My impression of Source A is that he is sincere in his disclosures and genuinely involved in an effort by a covert group comprising senior US Navy officers to disclose information concerning extraterrestrial life. His willingness to have independent confirmation of his credentials and to be interviewed by different researchers does give confidence in his disclosures. While this is no guarantee that his disclosures are accurate, it does help inspire confidence that he is part of overall disclosure process sanctioned by senior Navy officials involved in covert operations.
There appears to be genuine concern over the way in which covert projects involving extraterrestrial related information is being run and the role played by corporations in controlling this. The extent to which the US Navy and other military forces have been sidelined in the internationalization and corporatization of extraterrestrial related projects is a major cause for concern. This is especially important insofar as threats to the diplomatic community to remain silent about the UN UFO/ET meetings have been traced to corporations.
It does appear that an important convergence of interests has led to senior US Navy officials in covert operations embarking on a controlled leak of information to the UFO/exopolitics community. This is a promising development given the nature of the privatized control system that has emerged to manage extraterrestrial related information. The lack of oversight and transparency of such a control system is not only a major cause of concern for the general public, but also for senior military officials who take seriously their oath to uphold and protect the US Constitution.

The Damage of Silence

I've been off sifting through current events and wrangling with other disclosure enthusiasts over at Open Minds Forum for the last couple months. In the course of that time I came to note a problem faced by insiders when they make an effort to reach out to the public around them. The problem is that sixty odd years of veritable silence on the part of the keepers of the extraterrestrial contact paradigm has caused not only a great deal of cynicism within the ufology & exopolitics community but also an inability for the community members to accept a presentation of a very basic form of physical contact experience reported from whistleblowers or even partially sanctioned insiders.

Back in the early nineties the door was wide open to insiders of the contact control structure which manages the paradigm within the various bodies of government, military, and corporate contractors, a secluded world unto their own. When repeated attempts at cracking the lid of secrecy failed in the past, new theories for ETs apparent obscure behavior and the governments inability to connect with the public began to form.

Today those theories have taken shape in the terminology of 'phenomenology'. Enthusiasts of ufological & exopolitical analysis claim that disclosure is not in the hands of government officials, or even the PTB. Those powers are said to be ultimately incapable of achieving an honest disclosure especially one that brings their unique history along to the table for healing and understanding to occur. These new theories claim that only ET is capable of achieving disclosure. They claim that it will only be the ETs themselves who will determine the time, place, and nature of disclosure. It is also claimed that perhaps disclosure has not happened because ET does not want it. ET in the eyes of many human observers is satisfied with teasing humans and then leaving them hanging wanting desperately to understand and confused about why they keep their distance.

A part of this has to do with a jumbled stew pot of different ET types, a multitude of vaguely understood or hyper analyzed personal contact experiences along with similar items of better handling and more professional examination, all glommed together under one heading which depict Contact in confusing contexts and then are drawn out into etherial assumptions where questions raised by one species behavior are regularly attributed or grouped together with the behavior and experiences associated with others among the less experienced researchers in the field which comprise the largest and most vocal portion of the ufological and exopolitical community. Add to all this mix a wild array of existential possibilities and technology obviously so far advanced beyond our current capabilities as to seem magical or more interdimensional than associated with our mundane neck of the scientific/technological woods...it is no small wonder the task faced by Insiders and future world body Disclosers is ostensibly daunting, especially when they attempt to test and measure the waters. The ufology & exopolitical community is their own worst enemy making it so easy for governmental insiders to throw their hands in the air and run back to the comparative sanity and safety of the contact control structure from whence they originated.

Whereas the CCS, contact control structure, so labled for lack of a more official term has been largely silent for the last sixty years, the ufology & relatively new exopolitical communities have not. The sprawling U & E community have been very busy little beavers ravanously chewing their way through collecting, investigating, cataloging, and analyzing mountains of data, (documents, first-hand contact experiences from witnesses, ufo siting events, whistleblower testimonies, physical evidences, and collaborative study and analysis efforts) found within this paradigm in the absence of more official participation. In this absence of the CCS, these people stepped up to the plate and did what governments were failing to do publicly. Many members have thirty or more years of indepth experience and study in this material which would make both mainstream professional journalists and university scholars blush for being caught out of the loop with their pants around their ankles. A tremendous amount of praise must be heaped upon these individuals who took it upon themselves armed with little more than basic life skills and the scientific method, who jumped in with often times only personal funds to work with, and donated their lives to self education in the paradigm and dissemination to the public through websites, books, scholarly publications, blogs, wikizines, transparant associations, institutes, and conferences of what they learned.

The end results of the subject matter has been always open to lively debate. This is the consequence of openness and transparancy. Sometimes the liveliness gets so heated that fur flies and proverbial blood is spilled, but in the end the paradigm with all its questions and fascinating revelations remains and humanity flocks to it in their inherent curiosity where no age is too old or too young. In sixty years there has not occured any hard fast rules to apply to this subject other than bring proof for your claims and expect to be piled apon by both sharp and dull minds saturated with serious inquiry and personal biases which will pounce upon what you provide and analyze it seven ways to Sunday, and then drive it soundly into the ground of history with all the power their scrutiny can muster.

Confirmation of Water on Titan
“Detection of liquid ethane in Ontario Lacus confirms a long-held idea that lakes and seas filled with methane and ethane exist on Titan,” said researcher Larry Soderblom of the U.S. Geological Survey in Flagstaff, Ariz.

Comment Posted:
hmmm first a chemical oxidizer perchlorate is found on Mars and now methane and ethane on Titan...those last two are not water however. I find it interesting that we get so excited over these findings while far greater events occur here at home beneath a media blackout and layer of 'ridicule factor'. I do believe that our human priorities have been skewed deliberately so that the structure of reality within our current civilization might benefit a few versus risking a period of social consternation so that in the end it might benefit the many. Why do we not hear of these things? I think it is because humanity has lost the true pioneer spirit which draws people out of their comfort zones and bestows the freedom to explore beyond their current paradigm. I think fear has become the rule and we have forgotten the importance of teaching our selves and our children to ask the tough questions not to mention how and when to go after the answers.

Beyond UFOs and Conspiracy. Some Who Are Ready Begin Examining The Details.

The world class exopolitical forum OPEN MINDS (OMF) is again making ground breaking advances in the study of the contact paradigm. Advanced exopoliticians long ready to move beyond the novice concepts of the ufological reality and into the collection of experiential knowledge currently being trickle released are working on the details of the lifeforms engaged with government working groups. Closely supervised by Temporal on the UN Meeting Thread
http://lucianarchy.proboards21.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=unitednations&thread=2468&page=220
he and other members are examining details of two different lifeforms offered by the Navy officer known as "Source A". The two lifeforms known at this time as the Reptilians and the Conformers are slowly coming into view through the details of their physical appearances as it is carefully released. Also being discussed are the sociological and psychological issues associated to the secrecy and its control structure. There is still a tremendous concern being voiced about the readiness of humanity in exposure to the greater community.

It is the time of the Courageous. Will You Support Them?

A Sad Day For Both Britain and America

Folks I happen to think that the Gary McKinnon case is more important than anyone in ufology & Contact Disclosure realizes...If they can do this to him what is stopping them from doing the same to anyone who gains inside info about the paradigm no matter how it is obtained? Right now the US Gov/ptb is by appearances going overboard, off the deep end, possibly completely out of control in its paranoia of the public gaining knowledge of or access to the details of the ET Contact Paradigm and its related activities. This is being tied by many researchers into a rapid and systematic advance into a police state proffered under the guise of protecting its population from terrorism. The evidence is there in the public for all to see. The failure to protect any individual who brings this leviathan to light and thereby holding the line for freedom and liberty of the human race, is only demonstrating a complicity which is inherently disgraceful.

Press Release - Aerospace physicist Dr Robert M Wood Joins Dr. Edgar Mitchell, Physicist Dr Peter Sturrock, And Others Wanting Public UFO Study

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 26, 2008, Boulder, CO - At least two documents from a large trove of leaked UFO materials have appeared in original ink and paper with contents showing extensive official security concerns about Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO), according to Dr. Robert M. Wood speaking during and after the annual meeting of the Society for Scientific Exploration (SSE).
"Forensic testing equivalent to what a judge could order in a court case indicates that these two documents have paper, ink, watermark, handwriting and other indications consistent with their claimed dates and contents," reported Dr. Wood. The tests were conducted by Speckin Forensic Labratories. Wood, a retired aerospace physicist with 43 years as a research executive at McDonnell Douglas Corporation, joins acclaimed astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell, physicist Dr. Peter Sturrock of Stanford University and other respected scientists who have called for serious public study of UFOs despite chronic official denials of their importance.
"We stand on the shoulders of earlier scientists with the courage and credentials to address this issue," noted Wood. "Men like the late NASA scientist Dr. Paul Hill, the late atmospheric physicist Dr. James McDonald, and the former Air Force consultant Dr. J. Allen Hynek who came to believe so-called Project Blue Book led the public astray." Speaking at the Society's annual meeting in Boulder, CO, to an audience whose principal members possess doctoral degrees, Wood discussed in detail the "Bowen manuscript," an authentic draft of a book entitled "An Encyclopedia of Flying Saucers," which the author Vernon Bowen submitted to the Air Force for pre-publication review.
According to handwritten annotations on the manuscript, it was "submitted to Project Blue Book in 1961" and subsequently passed to those who stamped some pages in red ink - tested to be of appropriate age and kind - with the classification "TOP SECRET/MAJIC" and "FOR US 'EYES ONLY'." "Bowen's extensive public research may have put the pieces of the jigsaw together and come too close for comfort," said Dr. Wood. "The draft manuscript never did find its way to publication but was leaked to researchers among other UFO documents in 1999. Those who leaked these materials clearly had access to a document that had been in custody of an admitted Air Force UFO project."
Dr. Wood discussed a second document - known as the "burned memo" - delivered in the original and now subjected to forensic testing without public fanfare in order to ensure careful analysis.
"Forensic dating and analysis of paper, ink, watermarks, annotations and other details all comport with the source's statement that this document was one of the those meant to be burned from the private safe of CIA counterintelligence director James Jesus Angleton, who died in 1987, but snatched from destruction at the last minute,"stated Wood. "This remarkable document with scorch marks on paper of the period is stamped in red ink with the classification 'TOP SECRET/MJ-12,' " said Wood. "It is a carbon draft from the Director of Central Intelligence referred to as 'MJ-1.' The memo and its attachments, whose paper and ink have been validated by forensic testing, lay out extreme concern to keep UFO matters even from President Kennedy, referred to as 'Lancer,' his then-classified Secret Service codename."
Attachments to the memo discuss keeping UFO data largely outside normal defense channels; using the Air Force's admitted Blue Book UFO project for counterintelligence; and purging files prior to responding to freedom of information requests, a well known concept even before the Freedom of Information Act was passed a few years later. "We know this original document was leaked from a source who mailed it along with a cover note and copies of other UFO files in an envelope stamped with a postage meter traced to CIA Headquarters," stated Wood.
"The attachments describe extreme security measures," he noted, "including authorization to 'detain and interrogate any and all targets.' It cites biological warfare, or contamination concerns, to be met by 'HOUSE CLEANING operations in major population centers,' along with potential use of MK-ULTRA and ARTICHOKE, notorious human control projects that surfaced in Church Committee hearings about the CIA before the Senate in 1975." Perhaps most intriguing, Wood reported, is the final attachment. It states that if "Washington" is "non-conducive" to these activities and "cannot be influenced any further" (would this mean 'Lancer,' mentioned earlier, or other uncooperative officials?), the environment should be made "wet." Unknown until years later - except to intelligence insiders - "wet affairs" was intelligence jargon for assassination.
"It will be extremely difficult or perhaps impossible to find archival files to corroborate this memo fully," said Wood. "By the source's own account, it was uniquely snatched from destruction at the last moment. But forensic tests validate the physical document. There are little-known citations in the content that we have verified by research. And, again, our investigations reveal documents were mailed from CIA Headquarters." "It is certainly possible someone with access to CIA Headquarters has the counterfeiting expertise to forge documents with decades-old paper, ink and authentic watermarks; make complex, insider references to classified activities; and also possess a manuscript submitted to the Air Force's former UFO project."
"It is also possible these documents - not copies but originals - pose very serious questions about how far some would go to hide UFO information," said Wood. "Citizens deserve to know where these documents came from, who produced them or marked them classified, and why." The "Bowen manuscript" in part and the entire "burned memo" are available online at the web address: www.majesticdocuments.com. High-resolution scans of the "burned memo" are available to researchers. A recording of Dr. Wood's formal presentation can be obtained from the Society for Scientific Exploration (www.scientificexploration.org).

UN MEETING(S) UPDATE

Hooray! My favorite naval officer is back from his TDY. The OMF members

http://lucianarchy.proboards21.com/index.cgi?board=unitednations&action=display&thread=2468&page=206

have been excited to hear of his return and it is rumored that his activities/experiences while he was away fit under the heading of something 'fantastic!' and very worthy of the wait.

His exopolitical mediators Clay and Shawn Pickering known as 'Temporal' on OMF have said that due to the critical nature of the situation at this time they have to hold off just a bit longer before releasing any details. The forum is alive with interest and excitement.

In two posts regarding the news of 'Source A's return, Temporal said, "When our source can figure out what we can say, you folks at OMF will be the first to know. As an aside to further understand how dangerous this can be. Our source was approached TWICE by the MIBs. One was Airforce and the other DHS (Department of Homeland Security) about his email contacts to us. Luckily it was his TDY and that they know he is contact with the Conformers that has provided him insulation. This is what we must protect....We found out yesterday that we are definitely on the MIBs radar because of our source. In point: He's active, he's in a program[s], he's a liaison, he's Navy, and he's talking and pushing hard because he's got some insulation. We don't however, and he reminded us of this. This is why the UN initiative is integral to upping the ante. It will move forward, we just don't know how at this point....We just have to stay on that fine line. Right now it's HOT and we have to be careful. Also, there's two of us. My brother and I. I think it is one of the reasons our source opened up and was given the approval to broach the UN initiative with us. Logistically there is safety in numbers. It is also one of the reasons I joined OMF to protect ourselves. You guys know about me and this also provides insulation. If/when we get this UN thing going again, this will provide some safety all around. Right now, we just don't know where our source and we fit in."

It is obvious that there is still a powerful non-disclosure element attempting hinderance to opening the paradigm into the daylight inhabited by the taxpaying public. Believer2, one of the regulars on OMF who has a penchant for the legal aspects of the topics discussed said,"Your 'insulation' is this Forum. Hard copy your posts in full. Crayon markings on the sidewalk can fade in the weather."

I would myself suggest speaking with your congressional representatives about pressuring the administration that the public strongly wishes to be included in the experience of this refreshment of the extraterrestrial reality. Tell them that we are ready for it and it is their job to support "Source A" and the advancement of disclosure as we voted them in to represent the wishes of the public. Tell them also to relay the message that threatening this brave individual and his supporters will not be tolerated. But move quickly because they go on vacation soon.

While we wait for the ball to roll through the maze of bureacracy, a friend of mine, Ed Komarek wrote up some related issues which we all need to take some time to seriously consider. If we are on the verge of an opportunity to join the larger community beyond Earth then his points represent some of the most likely issues we may see arise. This morning he sent me the following copy of his essay and as we all know Ed's stuff is always free to copy, forward, and distribute.

How Will We Negotiate With ET?

My blog: http://exopolitics.blogspot.com/

I would like to initiate an open discussion as to how open negotiations between earth society and benevolent extraterrestrial races might proceed post-disclosure. What I hope will happen is that others may become involved who have some knowledge of this either in the public or classified world and together we can wrap our collective minds around this issue. I would not be surprised if negotiations might include both sanctions and incentives similar to how we handle things on earth so as to induce earth society to cooperate with universe society and not threaten the peace and security of the rest of the cosmic neighborhood. I realize that many people have enough trouble accepting the testimony of high level whistle blowers like Astronaut Edgar Mitchell that we are being visited by extraterrestrials and even question the huge amount of documentation available. http://dsc.discovery.com/space/qa/alien-ufo-edgar-mitchell.html Most people simply don’t understand that they have been severely deceived and brainwashed by the 60 year old UFO/ET cover-up and are going to think that speculation about negotiations with aliens is way over the top. Be that as it may I believe it is important that we move forward on such speculation. I have endured denial and ridicule over the years in regards to expressing my views as to extraterrestrial reality but I believe in telling truth to power in this field of government lies and deception regardless of the consequences. Folks can read my free exopolitics e-book at my blog site if they desire to understand the context in which I write these articles. http://exopolitics.blogspot.com/ Another good resource for those that have an interest and wish to understand the seriousness of extraterrestrial relations can discuss these issues on the Open Minds Forum where I participate. http://www.openmindsforum.com/ Some evidence from multiple sources suggests that ethical civilized extraterrestrial races require certain preconditions to be met before there can be significant sustained contact between these civilizations and earth society. This would follow along the lines of Star Trek’s prime directive. The first precondition seems to be that only limited secret contact with world governments is possible in return for and in preparation for open disclosure of extraterrestrial reality. Once the first precondition of open disclosure is met then open negotiations between extraterrestrial races and earth society can begin in earnest. I suggest that further preconditions must be met by earth society before open direct sustained contact, trade and cultural exchanges are allowed. My impression is that these preconditions for sustained contact and interaction are: 1. Nation-states must stop all hostile action against ethical extraterrestrial races. 2. Nation-states must settle their differences through the rule of law and not war, as well as eliminate weapons of mass destruction.3. We must show major progress toward humane democratic population control.4. We must show major progress toward solving our environmental problems.5. We must show progress toward development of a civilized societal organizational structure based on cooperation not mutual predation.6. We must understand that we co-inhabit earth and this solar system with other races and that any ideas of manifest destiny must be discarded. If we meet these preconditions then I believe these would be the following incentives offered to us by the ethical extraterrestrial races. 1. Open fair trade2. Cultural exchange3. Technological exchange4. Mutual defense treaties5. Participation in collective extraterrestrial government6. Enlightened guidance and advice The deeper I get into understanding extraterrestrial reality the more I have come to realize that it is really not all that different out there as it is here. The laws of physics and evolution seem to apply elsewhere just as they do here and so too the laws of logic and reason. The only difference I can see is in orders of complexity. I believe our earth based still primitive society will be able to meet the challenges of extraterrestrial reality now and in the future. We must face up to and prepare for post disclosure reality and that includes conversations such as these even if it makes uninformed people uncomfortable or incredulous. When I go out on a limb I try to base my speculations on several different sources of information. In this case a number of clues supporting this speculation can be found on this OM thread as well as multiple sources in other of my articles. http://lucianarchy.proboards21.com/index.cgi?board=unitednations&action=display&thread=2468

Astronaut Discloses!

Disclosure from Astronaut Edgar Mitchell

Last night was another ground breaking testimony from Astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell on Kerrang Radio. During the interview Dr. Mitchell further elaborated on previous statements about extraterrestrial life in the universe and possible full disclosure in the near future.Note From The Interview : By "UFO REALITY" from ATSEdgar Mitchell says there IS life in the Universe. He says we have been visited, and that UFOs have been covered up by the government for a long time. The host almost has a stroke during the interview he's so shocked. Edgar says it is a real phenomena. He says he's been inside military circles and they know we've been visited and talk about it behind closed doors. He says he's been involved in certain research committees and knows people who know the real story. There is quite a bit of contact going on. The Roswell crash was real. Doesn't know if Disclosure will be this year or not... Public acceptance is increasing. Not all UFOs are of ET origin. Some are home-grown. But some are ET crafts. He's not concerned about his safety talking about it openly anymore. Alien intent is not hostile. Some others involved in the Moon landing also know the truth. The host made the point that this is the first time Edgar has stated so clearly that ET life exists and UFOs are real. He's hinted at it, but this is the first time ever... Well to add fuel to the conspiracy's what you would think would be ground breaking news world wide has resulted in links via google with error codes "funny that" ... but I do believe that Kerrang are going to replay the interview this week HERE

Update on the UN Meeting (s) and Insider

Our favorite military insider is still out and about, but Clay Pickering is reporting that he is hopefully due back soon and will keep everyone at Open Minds Forum (OMF) aprised.

Meanwhile I think it is important to keep turning the subject of Contact Has Occured as 'every which way but loose'. I think the pressure needs to continue in full and ratchet up to communicate that we are serious about following through on what has been started here. Yes there have been other instances of trials toward disclosure and for various reasons they fell by the wayside. How long is humanity going to allow this to drag out? I wonder. A very aware elder once said to me, "it won't be my generation that will see this through to exposure, it will be yours, but you will have to EARN it. For the sake of humanity's future it is necessary you succeed."

A Bit Of Humor

There is definitely not enough humor on this planet. Entirely too many things are taken way too seriously. Like the two cents of individuals. Instead of a smile and a "hmmm interesting" many people hear something that does not agree with them and they bloat like a puffer fish with indignation....I was thinking the other day that,

whoever it was who said the universe did not contain silliness
was in dire need of a visit to a mirror.

Imagry of mountains and mole hills. Humanity is pretty darn good at making one out of the other.

For the sake of perspective I occasionally peek in the mirror myself.

They're Experts At Failure to Get It Right: Mainstream Major Media

The major media outlets response to recent historic events has been less than professional. It is in fact rather pathetic. There is no surprise in this quarter where the well informed see it as but one more symptom of a defunct system of information exchange rapidly being replaced by online magazines, discussion boards, and blogs.

Ridicule apparently is the only dish served in the major media delicatessens. It is very easy to fall back to such disgraceful lack of fulfillment of professional obligations. It means you do not have to stretch your own mind or the minds of your viewers or readers. There is no real research or education involved. You don't need to worry about negative responses because you base your decisions upon the vocal portions of human society which participate in your worthless ratings and gravitate to feeding frenzies.

If appearances are reality then major media only caters to the dead-heads and dull of spirit in today's society. Its sole purpose generated to fill the empty sound space of the apathetic. The true intellectuals, adventurers, and curiosity seekers have long since wandered away. Real news is not to be found in those resources anymore. The real movers and shakers of humanity, both young and old, now move along the colorful fast paced high quantity data corridors of the online super-highway. Doorways to real events which matter more to the general public are to be found here with ease. On demand communication and interaction with participants spur a widening gap between online resources and the quaint but twisted forms of news spin and distribution like FOX NEWS, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, REUTERS, and a whole battalion of physical newspaper & magazine publications guilty of the same inept laziness.

Those recipients of major media's sad worthless brand of news, trapped within that graying world, have no idea the most amazing event humanity has ever experienced is unfolding around them. They are missing the boat. Is it their fault? Maybe. There could be many reasons for it. Perhaps a lack of enthusiasm for life. The couch is so soft and their day too long to care. Hard to say. It is something one could speculate upon for hours. Meanwhile the excitement and flurry of meetings and jostling over the UFO/ET Contact issue over at the UN goes virtually unnoticed.

Are You Ready For Disclosure?

Are You Ready for Disclosure?
Author: Rolling Blue

A few days ago, in a widely publicized interview with the Vatican's official newspaper, the Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, the director of the Vatican Observatory, stated that it was logical to believe that outer space may hold alien life and that,"Just as we consider earthly creatures as 'a brother,' and 'sister,' why should we not talk about an 'extraterrestrial brother'? It would still be part of creation."Is this statement coming out of the Vatican really such a big deal? I mean, isn't this historicaly earth-centric institution just reluctantly owning up to what most people already believe to be true, that somewhere out there in the billions and billions of stars there must be other intellegent life? Yes, but...Fellow Earthlings, the context and timing of Rev. Funes' statement may reveal far more than what was said in words. Let's go behind the scenes...The discerning eye may have noticed that the release of this interview from the Vatican came on the very same day that British National Archives began a major declassifying of thousands of pages of UFO files. The release of these files to the public has been known about and hotly anticipated for months. Is the timing of these two events merely coincidence? Or is Rev. Funes' statement an indirect ackowledgement of the material coming out of Britian? Many scientists and UFO researchers believe it's even more than that.For months now the UFO community has been buzzing with rumors of secret negotiations between world goverments to make a full public disclosure of the extraterrestrial presence here on Earth. These rumors are being fueled by respected researchers such are Dr. Stephen Greer, among others, who have close insider ties within world governments. In a recent radio interview with George Noory, Dr. Greer stated:"There's active discussion within the senior reaches of some of the G7 countries to initiate open contact and disclose that information soon, sooner rather than later. This is not a rumor. I've been in direct contact with the ministries of some of these governments."Signs of this alleged disclosure process by world governments are fast coming to light. In March 2007, the country of France declassified all of it's UFO files and called on other nations to do the same. Now we have Britian following suit. And the Vactican's statement on the very same day. And high ranking members of Brazil's military coming forward and speaking openly. And then there's the alleged United Nations meeting in February of this year: according to sources that were present, the U.N. convened a secret panel of various world representatives to discuss how the process of disclosure could take place. I'm breezing over a lot of information here to get to the point quickly: through small baby steps the world is being conditioned for a very, very big announcement, the biggest announcement ever: THEY'RE HERE!You may be wondering, if the governments of these democratic countires have known the truth about aliens and UFOs here on Earth then why has it taken them so loooong to tell the public? We're talking at least fifty years here. Well, consider this and have a little sympathy for our leaders: if the U.S. government were to disclose that, yes, extraterrestrial beings were buzzing around Earth, they would, at the same time, have to acknowledge a complete helplessness in dealing with this unknown. Not only are the ETs likely our superiors in evolution and intellegence, but it goes without saying that they would be far, far beyond us technologically. We could only hope, pray really, that they have some equally evolved level of wisdom and compassion. At such a mental and technological disadvantage to the ETs, the public would feel extremely vulnerable, to the point of terror for some. For others, maybe extreme discomfort. Who wants to feel like a cow in a pasture being watched for some unknown reason? We would react as all animals do when confronted by an unknown presence: we would withdraw, feeling anxious and defensive. The ramifications for our culture would be far and wide. That is, unless our governments (or the aliens) have some quick way to relieve our fears and assure us that they are benign. In any case, do to a multitude of factors including the recent world-wide surge in UFO activity, disclosure is coming. We are being prepared for it incrementally, one news report at a time, so that when the final announcement comes, maybe in five years, maybe in ten years, we're not overwhelmed by it.

The UK UFO Document Release

The United Kingdom has joined the growing ranks of countries releasing documents pertaining to UFOs. World wide there is a growing awareness of the existence of UFOs and that they have been here for a very long time.

We in the UFO & Contact Research Community are seeing a distinct easing of the ‘giggle-factor’ as new competent interested minds join in unison with veteran researchers to address the influx and analysis of the additional data.

Additionally, there is an increased awareness of the work involved in assisting insiders around the world who are coming forward from their respective governmental, scientific, industrial, and social positions to add their unique history and perspectives to this cumulative awareness.

Interested public participants in this new paradigm are increasingly from professional ranks like doctors, attorneys, various elected officials, techno-crats of all types, emergency assistance professionals such as firefighters, aviation specialists, and the list goes on.

We are embarking on a new journey into a perspective that humanity is but one of many intelligent entities residing in reality. This raises new questions for our civilization to consider. Questions such as how do we relate to these new possibilities? How do we conduct ourselves? How will our thoughts, words, actions, and deeds reflect us as a new member in a galactic society populated by peoples quite possibly far our seniors?

As disclosure of this reality unfolds we will have many opportunities to address these questions and make choices in relation. Will our choices reflect renegade behavior, destructive nature, unethical purposes? One researcher once observed that of the hundred or more cataloged species known to ufology through accounts recorded over the last 60 or more years that only 20 to 25 % of those known are considered to be of a malevolent type. So here is your first real consideration….do you choose that our presence in this neck of the universe increase that number? I believe it is time everyone pauses to consider just what sort of citizen we wish to be in this new context.

http://www.4ni.co.uk/news.asp?id=75955

UK News 14 May 2008 MoD Release 'X Files' The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has released classified information on unexplained aerial sightings for the first time.The files dating back to the 1970s have been released on the National Archives' website today.

They include descriptions of alleged Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon - or Unidentified Flying Objects of 'UFOs' - and subsequent evaluations of reports.Up to now, independent experts have concluded that there are logical explanations behind alleged UFO reports, such as aircraft or natural phenomena.

The MoD examines UFO reports to determine whether they could be aircraft illegally in UK airspace.According to a Question & Answer brief on the report released by the National Archives, the MoD "does not doubt the genuineness of many people's interest in UFOs. However, it states that the MoD's own interest is limited to the "defence aspect".

The MoD believes that their investigations are necessary as "the maintenance of the integrity of UK air space requires that the Ministry of Defence should be satisfied that any UFO is not an intruding aircraft".

The Government does not consider that there is any justification for the expenditure of public money on a study of UFOs.In the report, sightings are recorded at many RAF stations such as RAF Binbrook, RAF Staxton Wold and RAF Manston. It is recorded that UFO's have been sighted with the naked eye "hovering over houses in Eastern Avenue North, Northampton" and one such object had "red flashing lights on the top". It is also recorded that another object was "round in shape" and "colours varied between electric blue, green, red, orange and deep purple.

In a draft of a closing address in a UFO Debate in The Lords, it states: "Intelligent life could exist elsewhere in the universe. With 100,000 millions stars in our own galaxy alone, it is probable that there are many planets capable of supporting life." But, the draft also added "even at the speed of light, it would take four years to reach the nearest star, and 100,000 years to cross our galaxy". It concluded however "ufology may be a pleasant fantasy but has nothing to do with the truth".

Nick Pope, former UFO investigator at the Ministry of Defence and now independent expert on the unexplained has said that it is "interesting" that people have seen UFOs in built-up areas, not just desolate areas. However he said that the most common explanations for UFOs were "aircraft lights, bright stars and planets".

Doctor David Clarke, an expert in UFO history said that conspiracy theories about aliens were "hard to disprove".

Director of Investigations at The British UFO Research Association, (BUFORA) Gloria Dixon, said: "It is crucial that we explore the way in which perceptions and beliefs influence how people observe things and to understand the inaccuracy of most observations of lights and objects that people perceive to be UFOs."

BUFORA has reported that an alleged secret meeting took place at the United Nations (UN) to discuss imminent alien disclosure in February. For now though, there is no solid evidence to prove alien life exists, but maybe the truth is out there.

Why You Must Not Witch Hunt!

The following is part of the argument about the applications of Amnesty for Whistleblowers that they might have greater freedom and safety to come forward to the public about the history of the Secrecy & Contact and everything it entailed...

There is a huge difference between us today and the Nazi situation.

The Nazi’s didn’t have nukes, biological weapons which can melt a human from the inside in 24 – 48 hours, chemical weapons that make the stuff the Nazi’s concocted look tame, Scalar Weaponry, and the list goes on.

Also the ptb & lower fish on the ladder in this are NOT JUST MILITARY…how do you tell in an adequate amount of time just who is who before someone hits the panic button and by by Earth?

Retribution is not worth that.

I happen to have kids on this planet and if the populace gets that stupid I might as well start kissing them good-by today! Or maybe see if I can hitch a ride out of this nut house with ET.

We are better than that.…there must be a graceful way for the ptb to bow out…there must be something in it for them if you want them out of there…if we had been having this discussion 50 – 55 years ago I might be far more inclined to agree with you but we aren’t.

You people allowed it to get to this extent through your own divisiveness so now everyone is going to have to buck up and compromise even if you do not like it.

I’m not saying the individuals responsible for rotten behavior should get off scott free…a removal from their positions of power & influence perhaps to a position of less dangerous potential sounds pretty good at this point. Just get them out of there for starters…but to do that you must do so honorably and stick to what you agree or it won’t happen and this conversation might as well not be occurring at all because we’re all a walking liability to them…that means everyone who does not have one of those billion+ dollar hidey holes they have.

You must remember this structure is MASSIVE and it EXTENDS EVERYWHERE IT MATTERS for them to accomplish being where they are to day in the condition they are today. Most of them hardly know who the others are so how do you figure you will?

This is not the same as the mafia who all know each other and will readily rat each other out when thrown a bone. These people have a way of tracking each other and it would not take a rocket scientist to figure out that you couldn’t get to the ones that mattered because they would see you coming just by who wasn’t where they belonged at any given moment.

This structure has a 60 year head start on you technologically. If you go head (witch) hunting you will get all of us crispy fried.

Look, you are confronted by a guy with a gun to your face on the street…you don’t have a gun and you have no where and no means to run, so how do you convince him to turn and walk away? It’s not by threatening him with capitol punishment under the law. He’ll shoot you if you do that.

Hello all, I invite you to vote in the following poll which debates whether progressive liberal websites like OpEdNews should incorporate articles on UFOs/extraterrestri als. Over the last several months, the editors at OpEdNews has allowed a number of groundbreaking articles on ET/UFO to appear. This has been very helpful in broadening the debate on ET life and bringing in fresh perspectives. There are those however that wish to ban or relegate such articles to a side page on OpEdNews, so it's important to participate and state your opinion. The poll is taking place here: http://www.opednews.com/maxwrite/page_poll.php?pid=20
If you post a comment, please be sure to make it succinct and respectful.

Poll: UFO and Exterrestrial Articles on OpEdNews?
http://www.opednews.com/Poll/UFO-and-Exterrestrial-Articles-on-OpEdNe-051108-22.html

I'd like to see a big response to this poll. Please click on the link above to vote.
The original vision for OpEdNews was to create an online site that covered the wide range of topics daily newspapers and weekly newsmagazines cover. Lately, we've had some of our members comment on our publishing articles on UFOs and extraterrestrials, suggesting they diminish our credibility. OTOH, some of the articles have brought thousands of readers to the site. What do you think? Please leave your comments on this. UFO stories are too woowoo and decrease our credibility. We should not publish them.

UFO stories are too woowoo and decrease our credibility, but they’re interesting and bring in readers who will read our political articles. We should put them on an inside page, without linking to them from the front page.

UFO stories are an interesting addition to the mix and fit with the OEN philosophy of being open to the widest range of ideas. Don’t change anything.

Since part of the mission of OEN is to reach new people, not just "members of the progressive choir," including non-political articles that draw new readers is a good thing,.

OEN should just focus on politics and progressive issues

Other.

Doing OpEdNews and Surviving.?
Last year, because I stopped running the conferences I ran for 15 years, so I could devote full time and attention to OpEdNews (usually 12-15 hours a day, seven days a week) my income dropped to the lowest it's been in decades. Decades! I took about $4000 in pay from OEN last year and this year, I really need to take at least $1500 to $2000 a month in pay from OEN. With a home, three kids (two in college and one heading back) and two dogs, believe me, I just barely get by every month. That pay does not include the costs for the website's private dedicated server and part time webmaster. Anyone who knows what I pay for them agrees the prices are very, very reasonable (some have offered to help with lower rates and what we're currently paying is lower.)

The bottom line is that I am now depending upon contributions to OpEdNews to pay my basic bills, to support my kids and there's not much left over. I have hope and faith that things will get better-- that we'll eventually land some foundation grants, that, as we grow, our contributions will rise. But for now, OEN and I are dependent upon you, our members to fund what we're doing. There are days when I seriously consider cutting way back and going for a salaried job. I don't want to do it. I love what I do here but I have to pay the bills. That means I need to raise money through contributions. That's where you come in. Last year, with an average of about 11,500 subscribers, we received about 1200 contributions. About 15-20% of them were from people who contributed monthly or at least more than once. Now, we have about 13,750 daily subscribers. It helps. We need to see 4-5 contributions averaging $38 each, every day to stay even. It's not a lot. It adds up to about 1680 contributions. I expect, by the end of the year, we'll at between 16,000 and 18,000 subscribers. So, the target, will represent about the same percentage of supporters as last year.

I know the economy is tough. I know you're going to want to support your candidates with contributions. But I also hope you'll see that support for what we do is a worthwhile investment, because if you don't think that, we're in trouble. The best thing you can do is to sign up for a monthly, authomatic contribution- - whether it's $5 or $100 or $700. We'll take all any or all of the above. If you're satisfied with Lou Dobbs, Chris Matthews, Wolf Blitzer and Joe Scarborough- -- forget about OpEdNews. But we're doing what we can to cover the news, to do the analysis and to provide the forum that you don't get ANYWHERE else. So please, make a contribution today, and, if you can, set up a monthly contribution. Click here to do it today.

Support OpEdNews by buying books.
One way you can support OEN is to purchase books and CDs I buy at auction for resale. I sell through my futurehealthinc Storefront on Amazon.com. Some of the books are contemporary. Some are 100 or more years old. Check out the list. It ranges from science to history, politics, philosophy, arts, etc.


Volunteer for OpEdNews
OpEdNews is only as good as the people who are a part of it. We have a wonderful team of over 100 volunteers. We could use a lot more. Click on this link to read all the ways you can volunteer.

Best,

It's not about ET

The Following is soooo true! A quote by Stephen Basset heard through Joseph Buchman, "It's not about the lights in the sky, but about the lies on the ground." Published by Thomas Burr of the Salt Lake Tribune, 04/22/2008 http://www.sltrib.com/news/ci_9010957


Contact is not about ET at all. It is about us. How mature as a race we CHOOSE to be. Do mature adults run around in panic of the unknown? No. Are mature adults willing to calmly identify and confront issues of personal misconduct and seek ways to resolve problems and take responsibility for prior mistakes? Yes. The only trauma involved in this right of passage is that which we inflict upon ourselves by thoughtless rule of misconduct. To avoid continuation of such behavior awareness of new realities must become the accepted norm of the many not the ridiculed courage of the few.

An Opinion on ET Contact: Insiders and the 360 Degree View

A friend recently asked me why deep insiders to UFO and Extraterrestrial Contact would bother (what purpose would they have) to come forward. He wanted my opinion based on years of exposure to the idea, not a long list of bits of evidence heaped in a pile from which he would have to discern motive.

Please keep in mind that in reality I'm just an average nobody. But I also have been paying attention, unlike most couch potatoes out there, and so this is equally about why it should matter to everyone else on this peculiar little piece of planetary real estate too...


NEWSFLASH!
The potential for a terrible tragedy is unfolding on a little backwater planet the inhabitants have quaintly named Earth. Yeah that one over there the third rock from the sun...but wow, what a pretty place...

and this was my response:

The purpose is exactly what you and I have been discussing setting up. To move irregardless of if the pro-disclosure insider groups can get cooperation from the non-disclosure groups. This ties in to what Ed is saying and F. (researcher) & J. (researcher) too from the contactees, that ETs are putting pressure on humanity to wake up and the groups to disclose. The ETs are trying a more direct route via obviousness of presence and direct physical contact with able average people (Joe types).

The pro-disclosure insider groups (military, industrial complex, etc) are in need of I think leverage would be a good term. They are in need of average people such as ourselves to move so that the non-disclosure groups are essentially backed into a corner where they or at least the majority of the fence-sitters must choose disclosure. This is a fine line to walk because in order for ET to stay here willingly, as a source mentioned on the OM Forum 'UN Meeting' thread

http://lucianarchy.proboards21.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=unitednations&thread=2468&page=111

there must be primarily of all the reasons a concerted effort (by humanity) to get the population growth under control and at a sustainable level for the planet within 3 generations.

The non-disclosure groups are non-disclosure to begin with for self-serving reasons. They currently control the ptb (powers that be). They have multiple weapons of mass destruction types under their control with which they could use to cull the herd and are not afraid to push the button. They are only thinking of what they would gain from continued contact with ET perhaps even 100 years from now. These non-disclosure groups want what they want now not later. So you see this situation is worse than the cold war era ever was by far. Because the power structure has more to gain in its eyes by using nukes and other such weapons to remove 3 mil or more people quickly...

trouble is that ET has said they will under no uncertain circumstances tolerate this and they will go away if such are used...

but they have also left a back door of returning in 100 years.

This encourages the non-disclosure groups.

It is in the best interest of the pro-disclosure insiders to fight for disclosure because it would prevent such a holocaust and assist in returning control to the publicly elected officials. They (many), especially in the lower ranks, are ethical & honorable people caught up in a nightmare which once in you are not allowed out; not alive anyway. Those getting into it had/have no idea what is involved until there because of the 'need to know' issue.

This power structure is what allows a subordinate officer in the military or industrial complex enterprise to have greater power and control than their immediate superiors. In other words the visible people in control are not necessarily party to anything to do with contact, technology or other associated things. They are often clueless. It would not be an easy fight when you have no idea who is friend and who is foe. It is part of how the ptb maintains control. The different groups have virtually no contact with each other.

No idea who is friend who is foe. This started 60 plus years ago. Eisenhower warned about the military-industrial complex that it (the Contact controlers) had gotten out of control. He said at the end of his term, he no longer had the reins.

Back to current...there is something more going on behind the scenes. My understanding of this is fuzzy yet. Not enough to even make a partial shot at it. I can FEEL it though if that makes any sense. This sense is the same way I have managed to escape ever getting a ticket for speeding, lol. I'm not a saint behind the wheel! So it does work and so does synchronicity...this is everywhere at this time for whatever it is worth.

We have a job to do. We must sensibly, cautiously, and steadily manage to do the impossible while creating the least amount of damage to human civilization. This must be done soon or we may as well do our best to hide on a world too populated to hide in, that uses technology that makes hiding impossible! We must turn this table around because it is leading only to self-destruction and this is per many people, not just me. We are here in the right place at the right time. (That mean you too dear reader.) As long as we draw breath our future is still ours to choose but the road will not be easy or pretty. Disclosure is the key.

News Subjects Collection 05/08/08

The following...are a collection of news topics which I've been collecting since roughly around the 1st of the Month. Lol, I needed somewhere easy to stash them for friends to check them out at leisure.


About A Press Release – 03/29/08

From: David Griffin
Subject: [exopolitics_institute] PRG Press Release - and horizontal exopolitical info sharing
To: "Paradigm Research Group"
Date: Tuesday, April 29, 2008, 6:36 PM


This is a truly ground-breaking collection of positive disclosure based ideas and action.

Using these core documents and goals, should we attempt to make the summer of 2008 an real make or break push for getting something solid into mainstream consciousness. This will build onto the heavy undercurrent of change in the exopolitical area which I'm sure we're all feeling move dynamically from both top-down and grass-roots upwards in it's effectiveness.

I firmly believe that waves of information - certainly *novel* information - is gyre or spiral-like in its flow or ingression to all layers of society and consciousness. Novel information, such as that surrounding the interfacing of first-contact off-planet cultures, is the only entity that bypasses the law of thermodynamic wind-down in a system. Thus by coherently and transparently mapping exopolitical concepts into an interactive framework with public consensus we now have a real chance at bootstrapping culture into a galactic sense of being,

The present geopolitical situation demands action NOW as from where many of us are looking, reality has taken on a fragile or plastic like construction and along with the blatant information acceleration we could now have a profound impact of evolutionary direction ie: taking us away from the cliff edge of annihilation and instead shifting humanity to a more progressive, co-operative way of viewing the world and its many other galactic inhabitants.

Action! - Macrocosm and Microcosm - An Exopolitical Gestalt Approach.

It may be more effective if some of us act locally and merge these ideas and logistics into a form that is easily digested by people who are part of our own countries cultures and political/education al structures. Plan C and the UN-ETI re-Minder can be worked on by local individuals and groups to see how they can maximise their effectiveness and outcomes. If we develop a good online system, we can share what works with the core originators and other interested parties at the Exopolitics Institute, EWN, Scott's PeaceRoom and so on.

I mentioned this before - but do we think it's worthwhile to establish a second list/group for this purpose? I'm happy to create some rough strategy for the UK, above and beyond what's already planned centrally, and sift through the approach with other countries reps.

Feel free to email me off-list if need be. (confidential).uk - pls note I'm hectically busy for the next week with a couple of presentation and workshops in England though.

What was it last night around Decatur that had people talking?
Friday night and into today, our newsroom has been flooded with peopleinquiring about a strange sighting in the western sky.

See VIDEO Here:http://www.waff.com/global/video/flash/p....fo&rnd=96969930

(Note from Cyrellys: sadly someone has moved moved or deleted this video link. Noted 05/08/09 late p.m.)

What did people see?
What we do know is that an object was in the sky that night. What it was is thefocus of tonight's WAFF 48 Investigators Report.
"I saw it coming thru the sky back that way and it".
Cody Terry was driving by the Aquadome Recreation Center Friday night inDecatur when he happened to look up in the sky and he notice something strange.
When it was coming through the sky, I really thought it was an airplane thatlost control so I came to a complete stop on the road. When I got out andlooked at it was no sound coming from it."
No sound, and he says it didn't appear to be an aircraft.
"It speed up to maybe two hundred miles per hour it went straight to theground and disappeared."
Some people say they saw Med-Flight back here but some people say they sawsomething else.
Cody says he saw three military helicopters in the air and ambulance on theground.
"We saw what was in the ambulance and to me it looked like what was agiant pearl and it was shiny. It put off kind of like a diamond type reflectionon it"."
For now what ever was in the sky will remain a mystery.
WAFF 48 talked to the director of Med-Flight about an hour ago and he didconfirm they had one helicopter in the area and no other helicopters were inthe air around that time.
He also says one of his pilots saw a meteorite in the sky last night.

A tidbit about a fellow working with scalar/radionics
I decided to send you pix of my scalar/radionics machine(s). This machine took me a long time to build... to figure out all the components etc. All is hand made and by trial and error. She is extremely powerful. Using the machine to supercharge drink and food, my dog has now acquired a measurable aura of over 24 feet radius.......

Amnesty 4 Whistleblowers Initiative - Finished It!

Just the other day I finished the Amnesty For Insiders Initiative Letter. There is a story and plenty of prewriting period discussion about this over on OM (open minds forum), in case you are wondering why such an initiative might be needed,

http://lucianarchy.proboards21.com/index.cgi?board=unitednations&action=display&thread=2468&page=94

you can go check it out there. I designed the letter as a form that can be adapted for individual use by anyone who would like to contact their favorite elected politician to encourage consideration of such an initiative. You (anyone) are welcome to copy it and use it yourself as long as the content remains the same. You may choose who to send it to and fill in those particular blanks. Add your personal information at the bottom in the appropriate spots. Work such as this is only likely to be effective if many are involve vs only a few so learn about it and pass it on to your friends because the whistleblowers who wish to come forward are in need of your help.

Dear Mr/Ms (Name)

I am contacting you in regards to the following subject because of your proven stance as a guardian of the rights and desires of your people. The following information to the uninitiated may seem a little ‘out there’ but I beg you give it serious consideration at this time to assist in this matter. The subject of this is to begin an initiative to consider and institute action of amnesty for whistle-blowers regarding previously classified governmental extraterrestrial studies. I believe this initiative to be a crucial step to allowing disclosure of physical evidence of extraterrestrial contact and influence. Below I will also provide a link that you may go and review a discussion in progress related to this subject as it evolves.

For many years now there have been serious researchers who have dedicated their lives and nearly every penny of personal possession in the effort to collect evidence of planetary importance and present it to the public as they have felt it their duty to do. It has come to the point where events have arranged that there is no longer time for just the proving of this issue. The community of researchers are beginning the first steps forward on the premise that proof has been obtained and now other issues in managing it are to be dealt with.

As the public is brought to full awareness (disclosure) of this reality on many fronts one of their primary concerns has been how to address the intent of the ‘veteran insiders’ the ‘multi-agency working groups’ and their associates residing within the massive span of the current ‘control structure’ which wish to come forward in an honest and open manner to participate with their history and experience. This desire is extensive and includes many in positions of power and influence right down to the average individual among them. This party (the groups, etc) have lived an existence of extreme control and internal fear for many reasons. I wish to assist by helping to provide an avenue for fruition of their desire which will reassure them that in the public’s eyes they are not nor will they be treated in such a way as to justify their fears.

It has been observed that as a more general extraterrestrial contact disclosure progresses it may be a proactive measure toward preventing general fear among those new to this subject that having the complete story available would heal the rifts our society now faces. The party(s) above have expressed that if it could be considered or arranged a form of immunity or amnesty for those who come forward from that ‘internal world’ it would make great strides in easing their fears and assisting them to choose joining this effort. Please know that not all within that world are whole to this desire and many are, out of fear, at this time on the fence. I seek to bridge this gap for them between their world and the world of the public that they may walk through that door.

I am contacting you in the hope that you may be willing to assist in this by providing a back door to the public machine of elected government for initial communication on this matter. You are highly respected in many circles. When this ball moves at last it will go very fast and if such effort to include these people without a public mass lynching first is to happen it will need to happen before-hand, or early, or extremely quickly. I and others from where I stand will be relying upon your experience in this and the experience of any allies you may be able to arrange from your position both up and down of you.

If you cannot for reasons participate in this, I fully understand. If you still have questions, you may feel free to ask me directly, relay your questions, concerns, etc through myself to other researchers or go direct to the following community of which I am a member and find others of similar concern there. My involvement is and is to remain strictly through online means.

Opening Thoughts on Contact Disclosure

Hello, and welcome. I have been trying to decide what I would like to convey as an introduction to my thoughts on exopolitics and the developing disclosure of contact. The subject being huge and controversial even among experts, makes it difficult to decide where to start.

There is a tremendous flurry of activity in the UFO Community right now. This is being driven by both veterans in ufology/exopolitics and by many new energetic highly skilled researchers hotly pursuing current events and associated evidence. The stigma that has for years been attached to this subject is lifting as internet becomes the center for news, communication, and information exchange over the old way via television & radio. Today's people especially younger generations are tech saavy and open to new and rapidly changing ideas. Instant on demand ability to exchange communication throughout the world unhindered by geographic difficulties is making it highly difficult to keep secrets. This is a positive change for the evolution of understanding about UFOs, ET existance & contact, and the involvement of insiders wherever they happen to reside.

My experience in this until recently has been from the fringes. Watchful but largely uninvolved. Recent events however have brought me out of the woodwork to help in whatever way I can devise. I am currently a member of Open Minds Forum. Researchers and interested laypersons from around the world are gathering there to discuss events and evidence as such can be obtained. A concerted effort toward devising a plan to process the massive amounts of data that are and have been gathered by field investigators is underway. The data is to be analyzed and then released to the public in a revolving door built with flexibility to adjust to additional data as it develops.

While it would be nice and at some point I may come up with some inspiring type introduction, I haven't yet. Additionally my postings here may end up either sporadic or perhaps extensive. At this point I have yet to decide on a pattern of use for my blog so I will ask for your understanding and patience. I think to begin with it will simply start as a place to chew upon my thoughts/experiences and compare them to prior ones. I may add bits about associated subjects and links for reference. Do not be surprised if at first this work is disorganized and confusing. My thoughts tend to run in all directions and until you get to know me you will likely be exasperated trying to follow any single train of thought! Feel free to ask questions...I'll answer if I can or point a direction in which you might find what you seek.

The world primarily knows me as Cyrellys. I'm 37 F with a colorful history and this is my pen name. I have used it for over 15 years online. I don't use my given name online as that is extremely personal and has ties to other people who have no desire to be so public preferring to be left alone. So for an explanation as to my use of Cyrellys that will have to suffice. LOL it may be interesting to note that I am more real in this form anyway than under my given name which has so little associated with it. So heading the question off before you ask...nope just call me Cyrellys.
