Joe has written an excellent treatment of the disclosure-disinformation tug of war re: the Extraterrestrial Presence. Alfred Webre. ===== Cosmic Comentary - http://members.tripod.com/~CosmicRose/CCC.html The Year of Disclosure, or Disinformation? by Joseph Held August 13, 2000 Since the turn of the New Year there has been a buzz of sorts amongst those in the UFO Research Field that somehow, this was to be the year of disclosure. The year that all the beans will begin to spill, in a manner of speaking. Where this hopeful and enthusiastic idea originated, I really can't say, for in my own research, I am finding, unfortunately, the exact opposite seems to be occurring. One of the first signs that this year might be different came when Malin Space Sciences dumped an unprecedented 25,000 raw images onto the net from the MGS. Of course, this was only done after years of protest from concerned citizens to re-image Cydonia, and to release more photos. At first, this seemed like a beginning of the disclosure. But in no time, the same old routine showed itself again, as researchers started pointing out new anomalies from the Martian surface, debunkers wasted no time in slamming the new information. Nasa, and Malin both stand by their previous position, which seems to be, we can discuss the possibility of life on other planets, just not intelligent life. Then the next big buzz occurred with hints of NASA releasing new information about the planet Mars. Many people held their breath in expectation, thinking maybe NASA would finally admit the possibility of artificiality on Mars. While many more of us, just sighed, knowing that the upcoming announcement would more likely be a disappointment. And we were right. NASA's big announcement, "there MAY be liquid water on Mars." An announcement that stupefied many who have been following developments on Mars. Liquid water? Didn't a couple of scientist discover liquid water 20 years ago from the Viking Photos? And weren't they ridiculed for their theories? Now, with no credit to them, Nasa announces the POSSIBILITY of water. As usual, Nasa releases only enough info to get their funding going again. So, as far as NASA being part of the disclosure movement, forget it. It's business as usual for them. Even though NASA is supposed to be a civilian operation, it is obvious that over the years they have been swallowed up in the Military Industrial Complex that President Eisenhower warned us about in the mid fifties. Now, just in the last week or so, we have back to back reports of debunkery. First, Dr. Andrews, funded through a grant from the Rockefeller institute, reports that 80% of crop circles are hoaxes, and the remaining 20% are caused from Earths own magnetic field. This story appears everywhere. From the Internet, to Network television. With no evidence to support these findings published thus far. Yet, his story makes it to network TV? Big news! If a UFO researcher came forth with so little evidence, he or she would be laughed right out of business. Another point worth mentioning, is the fact that the grant came from the Rockefeller institute. Investigators already know that the Rockefeller name is tied into the UFO cover up, and the Secret World Government from as early as the 1950's. The next item to be released comes from the ex-Soviet Union. The investigators, Dr. Yuliy Platov of the Academy of Sciences, and Colonel Boris Sokolov of the Ministry of Defense has summarized the results of the Soviet Union's official 13 year study of UFO reports. Their conclusion. "Many people are the eyewitnesses of strange things," the writer's report, "which cannot always be precisely identified with natural or man-made effects. However, this amount is very insignificant, and from this there does not follow even a 'hint' of the probable interference of extraterrestrial forces into our lives." According to these guys, There are no UFOs in Russia. Stories from Russia are just that. Fabricated and sold to people by desperate Russian citizens, who give the researcher just what they are looking for, all the reports from Russia are phony, and no secret operation involving Soviet Military, and UFOs ever happened. Even though many witness's claim otherwise. As usual, these witness's are just not a reliable source of information, no matter who they might be. This story also managed to make the news on the Internet, print media, and television. Wow! Try to get a story from the opposite point of view recognized. You will be lucky if anyone even notices, no matter who you are. Next big story. The NSA releases previously classified documents regarding UFOs. Thinking this will passify the public at large, the opposite has occurred. The NSA website has been swamped by people trying to dig into these files. What are they finding? Huge portions of documents blacked out. If there is nothing to hide, why all the black outs. Kent Steadman of Cyberspace Orbit advises," use the NSA web site at your own risk. Reports indicate that the NSA is tracking all users. Why again? If there is nothing to hide? This tracking may just be a rumor, but...? Next tidbit: Bush promises UFO disclosure. Give me a break! How many times have we heard promises during campaign time? Bush comes from the wrong side of the tracks when it comes to UFO disclosure. Father, and ex president was head of the CIA, and the family is from big oil. Two of the biggest perpetrators of the whole cover up. There would be no reason for George W. Bush to come forward if he is elected. In fact, he would be cutting his own throat. My advice, vote for the one who you think is LESS evil. With just these few stories it is fairly easy to see that things have not changed a bit over the last year. Anyone who professes to believe in the existence of UFOs and Aliens is still marked as a whacko. Serious researchers of the UFO phenomenon are still not being recognized. Even though there is at this time, overwhelming evidence to support the fact that this phenomenon is real, it is ignored vigorously by the mainstream scientist's, and news media. Conclusion. All of us researcher's are here either because we have seen something that has changed our lives forever, or been exposed to someone who has. We already know, as do many more intelligent folks, that these things are indeed for real. That our Government, along with others, has worked very hard to keep this from the public at large. What can we do? The same thing we always have. Keep out eyes, ears, and mind open, and bring forth whatever evidence we can dig up. If I said it once, I'll say it a million times. "There are too many fingers pointed in too many directions for true disclosure to ever occur. There is no benefit for those involved to release this information. Therefore, it is my humble opinion that the Government will continue to undermine the public at large, and that it is up to all of us to dig a little deeper and harder, to uncover not only the UFO phenomenon, but also to uncover the atrocities committed against the citizens of this country, perpetrated by these covert operators. Joe Held "If suddenly there was a threat to this world from some other species from another planet, we'd forget all the little local differences that we have between our two countries and we would find out once and for all that we really are all human beings on this Earth. - "Ronald Reagan to Mikhail Gorbachev"- "In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think, how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet, I ask is not an alien force ALREADY among us?"
