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.

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.

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.

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.

Aloha,

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.
