PRG Annual Fund Raiser
www.paradigmresearchgroup.org/contribute.htm
This is the third and final issuance of the once-a-year fund raiser notice
for PRG's advocacy work to end the ET truth embargo. Typically only
about one-third of emails to even a directed email list get opened, so this
notice was sent thee times. Please pardon the repetition.
Contributions to PRG's basic advocacy work support the following projects:
Exopolitics World Network including the EWN Cities Initiative and the
Exopolitics United States Network, World Disclosure Day, White House (We the
People) Disclosure Petition Process, Media Watch, networking into the
entertainment community, and PRG's six websites and six Facebook pages.
A major contribution would allow for a seventh X-Conference and other more
ambitious projects.
Right now the grotesquely long and expensive presidential election campaigns
are sucking up enormous amounts of media coverage. This has somewhat masked
(in the U.S.) a broad spectrum of developments which are favorable to
Disclosure. These include actions taking place in a number of South American
countries, emerging witnesses, more document releases by the United Kingdom
and Australia, many global sightings, celebrity contactees coming out, new
documentaries and television series, and more. Of note, a new witness has
emerged named Charles "Chase" Brandon, a long served senior CIA officer.
Another witness, retired Lt. Col. David French, USAF has just come forward.
Is Disclosure inevitable? Yes. Will it come soon enough? Not
certain, and the principal task of the advocacy movement. Timing matters.
An extraordinary new world may lie on the other side of the Disclosure
event. Your support in getting there will be greatly appreciated.

An
Extraordinary 40 Days
www.paradigmresearchgroup.org/newsitems2012.html
In a span of
six weeks the following happened: In late June the story broke a
retired senior CIA officer, Chase Brandon, had publicly stated Rowell 1947
was the crash of an extraterrestrial vehicle with bodies. In early
July the United Kingdom released yet another batch of UFO/ET files from its
archives. In late July Australia, a very, very close intelligence ally
of the United States, proactively released for the first time UFO/ET related
documents from government files. In early August the story broke
a retired Air Force Lt. Col., Richard French, who flew combat mission in
Korea and Vietnam and worked in military intelligence, stated Roswell 1947
was the crash of an extraterrestrial vehicle.

Surprise?

PRG has noted
with interest an article in Space.com which came out today. There is
some speculation on the Web an announcement about Mars life could come out
conveniently prior to the November election. PRG considers this a
distinct possibility. There are two likely options: 1)
confirmation of life on Mars long dead, and 2) confirmation of life (likely
microbial) now. The second option would have the greatest impact
on the election prospects of the President. Degree of confidence
in this outcome: 60%.
Commentary
In a recent
exchange with colleagues, I wrote the follow in response to a comment there
is a "self-coverup" and the larger public don't want Disclosure and won't
listen to the awareness efforts underway. I thought to share this
response with the PRG list.
I would suggest that given the extraordinary complexity of what is a global
phenomena, it is not possible to easily assess the disposition of seven
billion people and two hundred nations toward the truth of a reality that
has been deliberately suppressed. Denial is the critical separation between
the Disclosure movement and all the great social/political activist
movements of the 20th Century. No person and no government denied there was
segregation in America. None denied the British were a colonial occupier of
India, that South Africa practiced apartheid, that woman did not have a
universal right to vote in the United States, that a war was underway in
South East Asia.
The governments of all nations, by intention or by
acquiescence, have denied there is an extraterrestrial presence at all and
therefore nothing to disclose. This is unprecedented at such a scale. That
is why one of the key tasks of the Disclosure movement is to raise public
awareness of the truth of the matter. The governments have billions of
dollars to maintain denial. We have thousands of dollars to increased
awareness.
There is one account that makes this distinction quite
well. When Laurance Rockefeller initially approached the Office of Science
and Technology Policy in 1993 the OSTP wanted nothing to do with it. Had
Laurance not been a friend of the Clintons, it could well have stopped right
there. Laurance happened to "let it be known" he was considering placing
full page ads in major newspapers across the country calling for the release
of all files, amnesty for witnesses and other considerations. It would have
cost millions. He was quickly told that would not be necessary and the OSTP
would work with him on his initiative towards the President.
A close call for the truth embargo. How I wish Laurance
had placed those ads. With that in mind, how many entertainment and sports
celebrities or progressive entrepreneurs or established activist
organizations could place those ads tomorrow and barely miss the money?
Quoting Captain Jones, "we have only just begun to fight."
Disclosure, like suffrage, like civil rights, like
Indian independence, like Apartheid's end, is inevitable. It is only a
matter of how soon. And how soon is only a matter of will and determination.

Disclosure
Petition IV - Chase Brandon
www.disclosurepetition.info
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/response/searching-et-no-evidence-yet
The petition
placing the recent statements of retired CIA senior officer Chase Brandon on
the White House website completed its 30-day run as of August 10. A
fifth Disclosure petition will go up later this month. PRG does not
expect the White House "We the People" project to last beyond the November
election. It was basically a campaign ploy to engage voters, and the
public has lost interest. However, it has made it possible for the
extraterrestrial presence issue to reside on the White House website for the
first time in history. It also generated a formal response from the
White House to the basic Disclosure demand - also a first.

PRG Media
Archive/ Direct Media Archive
www.paradigmresearchgroup.org/newsitems2012.html
www.paradigmresearchgroup.org/direct_media_archive.htm
There are now
6310 mainstream (no ET/UFO/Paranormal media), English language articles on
the UFO/ET phenomena from newspapers, magazines, television/radio websites
worldwide archived on the PRG website. Over the past 24 months PRG has
noted a 20% decline per year in the number of such articles being generated
by mainstream media. Two possible explanations for this decline
are: 1) an acceptance by the media that sightings in particular are no
longer news. They happen all the time and the accounts are very
similar. This is perfectly understandable. 2) the growing
number of articles being generated by "direct media." To some extent
the mainstream media are electing to leave such coverage to "direct media."
PRG defines
"direct media" as structured news and commentary venues where journalists
and non-journalists can publish directly to the public without an editor or
fact checker. Over the past 24 months the number of such articles has
exploded to the point it has been difficult to maintain the PRG Direct Media
Archive. Some of these venues compensate the writers; some do
not. In some cases compensation is based upon page views or ad
clickovers. PRG is not aware of any mainstream media venues which pay
writers in that fashion, but it is possible. Obviously, such
compensation raises journalistic issues. But to be fair, mainstream
journalist's compensation is indirectly dependent on readership levels or
television/radio ratings.
At this time
the direct media venues that are publishing the most ET/UFO/Exopolitical
articles in order by number are the following:
Examiner -
www.examiner.com
Gather -
www.gather.com
The Canadian -
www.agoracosmopolitan.com
American Chronicle -
www.americanchronicle.com
OpEd News -
www.opednews.com
Direct media
articles must be approached with a different set of criteria. Caveat
lector strongly applies and quality varies more widely.
That said, this new genre helps fill the gap created by the government
imposed truth embargo which has prevented standard media from appropriately
covering the UFO/ET issue since the 1950's. PRG will continue to
archive direct media articles, but encourages readers to recognize these
distinctions.
