-Caveat Lector- http://www.alienzoo.com/features/b/200012130001.cfm Dear George: An open letter to the President Elect (revised) Facing an issue of transcendent importance by Stephen Bassett - 12/13/2000 Author's note: Beginning almost two years ago, heaven and earth have been moved to achieve the election of a most unlikely candidate to the presidency. Major power brokers lined up early and raised hundreds of millions of dollars. Other candidates, some with extraordinary life histories and accomplishments, were brushed aside. Every chit was called in, every string was pulled. The religious right, still bitter, ambitious, and contemptuous of a centrist platform, held its tongue. The most famous military leaders of recent times stood shoulder to shoulder on stage. And when the final outcome was forced to pass through an unprecedented denouement, every stratagem was applied, regardless of the deferred cost. It is not nice to fool with Mother Nature, and it is political suicide, if you are a Republican, to galvanize the Democratic base. That has been effected in spectacular fashion. The mid-term election in 2002 will be a Republican bloodbath with the Democratic Party taking clear control of the House and Senate. To all of this, the ultimate question remains unanswered: Why? This author suggests that the American people, and by extension the world's people, will soon find out. Washington, DC - Mr. President, you have just been elected by one of the narrowest popular vote margins in the history of the nation. After hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign expenditures, the Senate is now in the remarkable status of a 50/50 party split and the Republican majority in the House has been reduced. So by mere virtue of the vice presidential tiebreaker, the country has chosen unified government for only the fourth time since 1969. Of equal importance, you campaigned from the getgo as a "uniter" not a "divider." You said you would end the bickering and gridlock. This is a laudatory goal for which the American public has expressed a clear desire. Your timing is excellent as there is an unprecedented need for bipartisanship in Washington. That need? The executive and legislative branches of the United States government must delay no longer the direct engagement of the 50-year suppression of the truth surrounding the presence of extraterrestrials in our world, now. The long term implications to the nation of social security structure, Medicare benefits and guns may be of importance � the resolution of the UFO/ET cover-up and the reform of the military industrial complex is of a monumental importance only a fully bipartisan effort can address. It is notable that during your campaign a gentleman by the name of Charles Huffer asked if you would as president get out the truth concerning UFOs. You answered that you would do so. It is worth mentioning there are tens of millions of American citizens prepared to hold you to that promise. Each day the UFO/ET cover-up continues and each new revelation of abuse of power by this or that government agency further erodes the fundamental trust the American people hold in their government � and trust in government is at all time lows. As you consider your course of action toward this issue, permit the expression of some particular concerns. There is ample evidence the last two Democratic presidents, Carter and Clinton, were personally interested in the UFO/ET question, looked into the matter and were rebuffed with extreme prejudice by their agency heads. There is also a developing sense the military leadership in the nation has a "favorite" party � the Republican Party. A recent study by two Duke University professors found 64 percent of officers describing themselves as Republicans and just 8 percent as Democrat. Numerous images during the campaign showed retired Generals Colin Powell and Norman Schwarzkopf standing with you on the dais. From the very beginning of the Clinton administration the contempt of the military for the sitting president was severe enough to require disciplinary action. Within the UFO/ET research community there is some consensus that some presidents are permitted full briefings on the UFO/ET question and some are not, and this determination has for some time been split along party lines. These are dangerous trends for which you will likely be under some pressure to continue. Don�t. While there is obviously a firmament of questions and issues connected to the extraterrestrial presence, there are three primary political decisions to make: 1) whether to hold a disclosure event or continue the cover-up, 2) how comprehensive and truthful the initial information disclosed will be, and 3) whether to create a military, hostile posture toward the extraterrestrials acknowledged in this disclosure event. For the past ten years a growing political movement has targeted the politics of UFOs/disclosure. All levels of the media have received extensive materials on the subject. Former members of the U. S. military, former astronauts and many other government employees have been speaking privately and publicly in unambiguous terms regarding the extraterrestrial presence and a government cover-up. Documentaries are in production which will highlight these facts. Investigative journalists are now targeting the political realities and articles are working their way toward the top media outlets. Other nations such as France and Mexico are moving to assert there hegemony in this matter. Pressure on the U.S. government to end the cover-up is only going to increase during your administration. Yet, there will be advisers who will encourage you to disregard this growing movement and play the cover-up game out until such time as certain non-elected military / intelligence personnel give you the green light to proceed � if ever. You will be tempted to take this advice. Don�t. If you truly wish to unite the country and begin a new era of cooperation, you must engage an issue of transcendent importance. That issue is at hand. Engage.
