Dear Secretary Clinton:
In March 1993 billionaire Laurance Rockefeller
initiated an extraordinary approach to your
husband's administration via the Office of Science
and Technology Policy headed by Dr. John Gibbons. A memorandum from
Mr. Rockefeller's attorney Henry Diamond dated March
29, 1993 conveyed a request to meet with Gibbons "to
discuss the potential availability of government
information about unidentified flying objects and
extraterrestrial life." Rockefeller, a friend and
supporter of you and your husband, wanted to meet
with the President and inform him "there is a belief
in many quarters that the government has long held
classified information regarding UFOs which has not
been released and that the failure to do so has
brought about unnecessary suspicion and distrust,"
and that "Many believe that the release of such
information on a basis consistent with national
security would be a significant gesture which would
increase confidence in government."
Thus began a three-year effort by a notable
American to convince your husband to essentially
be the "Disclosure President" and end a then
46-year truth embargo on providing the full
facts to the American people regarding an
extraterrestrial presence engaging the human
race. This effort, which included meetings,
reports, briefings, a book, draft letters to the
President and more, came to be known as the Rockefeller
Initiative.
You were aware of this initiative from the
beginning as was a key advisor to the President,
John Podesta. You and your husband met
with Rockefeller at
his Wyoming ranch in August of 1995. Your
husband tasked a close friend, Associate
Attorney General Webster
Hubbell, to look into the UFO issue at the
Department of Justice and elsewhere. He tasked
John Podesta, his eventual Chief of Staff, to
reform and accelerate the document
declassification process.
You were kept informed of the ongoing initiative
and helped draft
a letter from
Rockefeller to the President. It is notable that
John Podesta, the founder and now CEO of the
Center for American Progress, in 2002 and 2003
called for the release
to the public of
all UFO and related documents in government
files. In 2004 Governor Bill Richardson, UN
Ambassador and Secretary of Energy during your
husband's administration, made a similar
request for
documents pertaining to the events in Roswell,
New Mexico during July of 1947.
These facts are known from news articles, public
records and, most importantly, from nearly 1000
pages of correspondence and
documents obtained in 2000 by researcher Grant
Cameron from the Office of Science and
Technology Policy via the Freedom of Information
Act. Additional relevant photos were
later obtained from the Clinton Presidential
Library.
From March 29, 1993 until the present day no
member of the Clinton Administration involved in
or privy to the Rockefeller Initiative has ever
spoken publicly about it. Besides yourself, this
includes President Clinton, Vice President Al
Gore, Governor Bill Richardson, Secretary Leon
Panetta, Mack McLarty, Webster Hubbell, John
Podesta and the late Dr. John Gibbons.
In April/May of 2013 a mock
congressional hearing was
conducted at the National Press Club. Included
in the 30 hours of testimony before six former
members of the U.S. Congress were three hours of
testimony on the Rockefeller Initiative. One
year later, as your presidential campaign was
being set up, the following series of events
came about:
(April 2, 2014) President
Clinton appears on Jimmy
Kimmel Live and
arranges to be asked about aliens.
(February 13, 2015) Upon
leaving his post as advisor to President Obama,
John Podesta tweets:
"1. Finally, my biggest failure of 2014: Once
again not securing the #disclosure of the UFO
files. #thetruthisstilloutthere cc: @NYTimesDowd"
(March 13, 2015) President
Obama appears on Jimmy
Kimmel Live and
arranges to be asked about aliens.
(September 29, 2015) Two
weeks before the first Democratic primary debate
referring to your interview with actress Lena
Dunham, John Podesta tweets: "Great
interview, @lenadunham. But Lena, ask her about
aliens next time!! #TheTruthisOutThere hrc.io/1jusfxk
cc: @HillaryClinton"
(December 30, 2015) You
make extraordinary statements regarding the ET
issue to Conway
Daily Sun reporter
Daymond Steer while campaigning in New
Hampshire.
(February 11, 2016) President
Obama appears on the Ellen
Show knowing
he would be asked about aliens.
(March 1, 2016) While
campaigning in Nevada prior to the Democratic
caucus, John Podesta gives an interview to
Steve Sebelius of KLAS TV Las Vegas when, among
other comments, he confirms your statements to
the Conway
Daily Sun were
serious.
It would appear there is an unprecedented
political subtext pointing to an unstated agenda
on the part of your campaign regarding an issue
of profound importance. But this agenda remains
deliberately obscure with repeated requests from
the media regarding the matter ignored.
It is your
ambition to reach a significant milestone in
American history by becoming the first President
of the United States who happens to be a woman,
or put another way, the 69th female head of
state. While this would be an admirable legacy,
what the American people need is less legacy and
more truth. The people have lost patience with
"in loco parentis" government that treats them
like children and candidates with long lists of
issues they can't discuss because it is not
convenient to their campaign or the people
"can't handle the truth."
Because you were introduced to these matters
within the context of the White House, because
you aspire to the highest office in the nation,
you have an extraordinary opportunity and
primary obligation to directly and unambiguously
address what is easily the most significant
issue of this or any other time - an issue with
major national security and policy
implications.
Madam Secretary, if you choose to speak truth to
power, it is not enough to select those truths
which are convenient or safe or self-serving.
You must speak the whole truth and nothing but
the truth and place your fate in the hands of
history.
Respectfully,
Stephen Bassett
