Access Denied

"At what point shall we expect the approach of danger?  By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant to step the ocean and crush us at a blow? Never!............... At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected?  I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us.  It cannot come from abroad.  If destruction be our lot, we ourselves must be its author and finisher.  As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."

The Perpetuation of Our Political Institutions
Abraham Lincoln, Lyceum Address - January 27, 1838

American
Social
Contract

Three modern phrases have come to represent to an unacceptable degree the relationship between citizens and their government.   They are, "Need to Know Basis," "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," and "You Can't Handle the Truth."   These concepts are often stated verbatim in actual policy and reside at the center of an increasingly patronizing posture - the government acting in loco parentis.   These phrases and the ideas behind them are nowhere to be found in the U.S. Constitution.

ET / UFO
Truth
Embargo

It is now time, twelve years after the end of the Cold War, for the embargo (often referred to as the UFO Cover-up) to end. The United States government should inform American citizens and the rest of the world’s population of the presence of extraterrestrial beings engaging the planet – “the disclosure event.”

Timing for
Disclosure

2003 represents a window of opportunity for the government to effectuate formal disclosure.   The military and intelligence communities have a president, vice president, secretary of defense and secretary of state to their liking.    A rare instance of unified government will begin on January 1.  The President has high approval ratings.    The military, intelligence agencies and public safety departments are held in the highest esteem by a public majority since the end of World War II.   These conditions will change.   The management of the issue is collapsing under the weight of hundreds of witnesses coming forward to speak out.   The government should move to disclose in early 2003.   

Congressional
Hearings

Hearings before the appropriate House and Senate committees to take testimony from government/agency witnesses to events and evidence pertaining to an ET presence and the government truth embargo should begin immediately.

Secrecy
Reform

The military/agency intelligence infrastructure and the congressional oversight of this infrastructure needs a top to bottom review followed by reform.

This concept is highlighted because of its unique and powerful possibilities.  For the first time in history  there are five living ex-presidents.   One is indisposed due to illness.   The other four include two Democrats, Carter and Clinton, and two Republicans, Ford and Bush.   The relationship between Ford, Carter and Clinton with the ET/Disclosure issues is being documented (see www.presidentialufo.com).   The senior Bush's relationship to these issues is less understood.

These gentlemen have an extraordinary opportunity.  They represent a powerful bipartisan option whereby they come forward together and call for open, comprehensive congressional hearings to take government/agency witness testimony, because they take the UFO/ET/Disclosure issues seriously.

[Important note:  President Carter has received the Nobel Peace Prize for his collective work in and outside the White House.   This only reinforces his ability to step forward and help bring the truth to the American people regarding an extraterrestrial presence.]

NASA's
Dilemma

NASA has a special relationship to the Department of Defense under the 1958 Space Act.   Under Section 102(b) any evidence NASA might encounter which has extraterrestrial implications would immediately come under the control of the DOD.  Since its inception NASA has been caught between its obligations as the nation's space exploration agency and its obligations to the DOD.  This has created enormous stress on the agency.   NASA's dilemma will be resolved by the disclosure event.

The American people do not properly understand the power of the Echelon surveillance system run by the NSA in cooperation with Canada, Great Britain, New Zealand and Austrialia.   They had better.  With the brief exception of CBS' Sixty Minutes, the top-tier media stay clear of Echelon.  The quickest way to get a sense of the upside and downside potential is this: go to the video store, rent Enemy of the State 1998 and watch it twice.   All of the technology showcased in this movie exists and more.  Echelon is never referred to by name, but is central to the movie.   The first viewing think about what this technology can do to America's enemies.  The second viewing think about what this technology can do to you, if Congressional oversight breaks down and abuse takes place.   Spying/surveillance technology has completely outrun the legal system.   Without reform privacy rights measures cannot possibly keep up.

Space Weapons
Ban Treaty and
the Kucinich
Legislation

The Kucinich legislation to ban weapons in space now working its way through Congress is only one example of a host of issues which cannot be properly debated and considered without full knowledge of the extraterrestrial presence.   How can policy regarding space weapons, space militarization, NASA, the environment, energy, science resource allocation, to name a few, be understood and pursued with such a huge hole in the information matrix?   The debate over the nature of an extraterrestrial agenda has been underway within the UFO/ET research/activist community for years.   Are extraterrestrials hostile, benign, a mixture of both?   To what degree is  U.S. space policy taking into account profound information not available to the public or even the Congress?  This debate must move into the halls of the Congress, be covered by the highest levels of political journalism and serviced by the truth.

At the very center of the truth embargo lies this simple deductive process. (1) UFOs have been proven to be extraterrestrial craft; (2) these craft must have a propulsion system and an energy system; (3) their flight performance strongly indicates technology well beyond human capabilities; (4) one or more of these craft have crashed, and witnesses have reported seeing extraterrestrial or human created copies of such craft within government facilities, as well as operating over government facilities such as Area 51 (which were filmed); and (5) Lt. Col. Philip Corso in his memoir, The Day After Roswell, clearly stated that some extraterrestrial-derived technological concepts were transferred to the commercial arena under his guidance, but the energy and propulsion systems were not among these technologies.

Therefore, it is quite appropriate to conclude the Unite States government has in its possession and may be reengineering extraterrestrial propulsion and energy technology with profound capabilities. Without disclosure, it is unlikely the world’s people will know whether these technologies can mitigate the human suffering and environmental damage now endemic to the planet.  Therefore, disclosure has major potential implications to the planet and all life on it.

In-Q-Tel

In-Q-Tel (formerly In-Q-It) is a venture capital company set up by the CIA to invest in high tech startups.  The $60 million invested over the past two years has focused on  information and browser technologies. The CIA should not be in the venture capital business funding high technology startups with seed money. 

The Override
of the 1978
Presidential
Records Act

The effect of this Presidential Order was to give a sitting president control over the release of the records of former presidents, in this case those of Ronald Reagan..  The Order also extended its reach to include the vice presidential papers of George H. W. Bush.  Unless repealed the Order will begin covering the presidential records of former President George H. W. Bush in 2005.   There should be more, not less, access to presidential records and this action by the sitting president requires serious scrutiny.  [Note: documents related to the disclosure process may well exist within the presidential records of Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton.]

Land Mine
Ban Treaty

The failure of the United States to sign the Land Mine Ban Treaty is an embarrassment to the nation.    It sends the wrong message that America cares more about minor military technicalities than the killing and maiming of children at play.   It has slowed down the process of land mine removal.   America should be leading not following in this area.

IRS Reform

This is a core issue because it directly impacts trust in government.  The federal tax code is a nightmare and must be reformed.   It must be reformed, not because citizens should not pay taxes, but because it is an extraordinarily intrusive system which invades the privacy of every American to an unacceptable degree.   A combination of value added and flat taxes should replace the current system and 90% of all tax law as it pertains to private citizens should be eliminated.

Don’t Ask,
Don’t Tell

The “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy toward gay service men and women is an outrage and should end immediately.    Discrimination of any kind within the military based upon race, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, or religion is particularly repugnant because the military is bound by honor and service to one purpose - defending the constitutional rights of all Americans from foreign enemies who would infringe upon those rights.

On Sunday, May 19, 2002 the X-Files ended its nine-year run on the Fox Television Network.  Sadly, Dana Scully and Fox Mulder were unable to end the UFO Cover-up and the truth is still "out there."   The reason?   It turns out Fox and Dana are NOT ACTUALLY FBI agents, but are really actors PLAYING FBI agents.  Who knew?   And the series, which has almost paralleled in time the politics of disclosure underway since 1991, was not even filmed in Washington, but in LOS ANGELES of all places.

So, if you are  interested in the truth "out there," it's time to turn to the real X-Files "in here" - meaning your computer and the internet.   Start off with a visit to the Black Vault, where thousands of FOIA documents are archived addressing the government posture on UFO/ET phenomena.   Then visit the Disclosure Project and read the testimony of some of the hundreds of current and former government employees who are coming forward with direct testimony collectively confirming an extraterrestrial presence.  Then surf on over to the research bibliography section of the Paradigm Clock and take in 2500 book, article and video listings (there are between 6 and 10 thousand).  Then drop by the home of the only political action committee targeting the politics of disclosure, X-PPAC.   From there go to the links section of the Paradigm Clock, where you can hyperlink out to hundreds of other websites - all part of a 55 year citizen-science movement - the real X-Files.
