Abstract
There has
been a worldwide suppression of a secret extraterrestrial presence on
Earth for at least 50 years from the general public and most elected
public officials. The official public disclosure of the extraterrestrial
presence has long been speculated to be imminent. The repeated delays have
led to much uncertainty over when the secret extraterrestrial
presence will eventually be disclosed. Some whistleblowers
persuasively argue that once international terrorism fails to be a
credible justification for the vast military expenditures by the U.S.
military, then military-intelligence agencies will turn to the
extraterrestrial presence to justify such expenditure.
However, rather
than ‘when’ being the critical issue to be decided, it appears that
the more difficult issue is ‘how’ the extraterrestrial presence
will be disclosed or ‘politically spun’. The different scenarios of
a first contact that have emerged into the public arena by various
UFO researchers/whistleblowers point to a competition
between and within government agencies for how ‘First
Contact’ will be ‘spun’ for world-wide consumption. It appears
that there are strong factional rivalries within clandestine
organizations that respectively have their own favored contact
scenario. It is these rivalries that best explain the long delay in public
disclosure of the extraterrestrial presence.
Preparing for
‘First Contact’ is a means of understanding the full extent
of the extraterrestrial presence, the accompanying secrecy that has
accompanied this, and being ready for a ‘First Contact’ event that
firmly transforms human life on Earth. There are, however, a number of
contact scenarios that put a particular ‘spin’ on the extraterrestrial
presence that would allow clandestine national security agencies to
continue to control extraterrestrial affairs in a secret and
undemocratic manner.
Significant
changes in public opinion of extraterrestrials
can be attributed not just to alleged extraterrestrial behavior and
spontaneous changes in public attitudes, but to a secret competition
between different factions of the ‘shadow government’
promoting perceptions that support a particular First Contact scenario
that best permits their continued influence and power.
Beginning in
the months of October/November 2003, an alternative scenario
began circulating on the World Wide Web that has led to the emergence of a
new actor in how public opinion is being shaped for a ‘First
Contact’ event. This new actor is outside of the
mass media system that is largely controlled by a small number of elites
associated with management groups of extraterrestrial affairs, and appears
to be solely a result of a spontaneous global response to
‘when’ and ‘how’ First Contact should
occur.
In what
follows, I examine three First Contact scenarios that have varying
degrees of support and can be considered most likely to occur. Finally, I
examine how public opinion is being shaped in ways that promote particular
First Contact scenarios, and the respective roles of
extraterrestrials, national security agencies,
UFO/exopolitics researchers, and the general public.
Introduction [1]
There has
been a worldwide suppression of a secret extraterrestrial presence on
Earth for at least 50 years from the general public and most elected
public officials. The official public disclosure of the
extraterrestrial presence has long been speculated to be
imminent. In an alleged 1954 meeting between President Eisenhower
and an extraterrestrial delegation, for example, it was reported that
disclosure of the extraterrestrial presence was imminent. [2] The
repeated delays have led to much uncertainty over when the secret
extraterrestrial presence will eventually be disclosed.
Some
whistleblowers persuasively argue that once international terrorism fails
to be a credible justification for the vast military expenditures by the
U.S. military, then military-intelligence agencies will turn to the
extraterrestrial presence to justify such expenditure. [3]
However, rather than ‘when’ being the critical issue to be
decided, it appears that the more difficult issue is ‘how’
the extraterrestrial presence will be disclosed or ‘politically
spun’. There appears to be a secret effort to shape public opinion of an
extraterrestrial presence in a way that prepares the public to accept a
particular ‘first contact’ scenario.
It appears that what has
yet to be decided is when public disclosure of the extraterrestrial
presence occurs and how it will be ‘spun’ to facilitate continued control
by small clandestine groups of public officials not governed by usual
democratic rules over accountability and transparency. The different
scenarios of a first contact that have emerged into the public arena by
various UFO researchers/whistleblowers point to a
competition between and within government agencies for how ‘First
Contact’ will be ‘spun’ for world-wide consumption. It appears that
there are strong factional rivalries within clandestine organizations that
respectively have their own favored contact scenario. It is these
rivalries that best explain the long delay in public disclosure of the
extraterrestrial presence.
Preparing for ‘First Contact’ is
a means of understanding the full extent of the extraterrestrial presence,
the accompanying secrecy that has accompanied this, and being ready for a
‘First Contact’ event that firmly transforms human life on Earth.
There are, however, a number of contact scenarios that put a particular
‘spin’ on the extraterrestrial presence that would allow
clandestine national security agencies to continue to control
extraterrestrial affairs in a secret and undemocratic manner. Significant
changes in public opinion of extraterrestrials can be attributed not just
to alleged extraterrestrial behavior and spontaneous changes in public
attitudes, but to a secret competition between different factions
of the ‘shadow government’ promoting perceptions that
support a particular First Contact scenario that best permits their
continued influence and power.
Beginning in
the months of October/November 2003, an alternative
scenario began circulating on the World Wide Web that has led to
the emergence of a new actor in how public opinion is being shaped for a
‘First Contact’ event. This new actor is outside of the mass media
system that is largely controlled by a small number of elites associated
with management groups of extraterrestrial affairs, and appears to be
solely a result of a spontaneous global response to ‘when’ and
‘how’ First Contact should occur.
The new actor
comprises a number of rapidly emerging ‘contact groups’ that
believe global humanity has been recently contacted by
extraterrestrial races that want to know if ordinary
citizens want extraterrestrials to simply ‘show up’ and end public secrecy
over the extraterrestrial presence. The rapid emergence of these
‘contact groups’ their impact on global public opinion on
extraterrestrials, and repression of key spokespersons of these contact
groups, suggests a secret struggle exists between multiple players
over ‘when’ and ‘how’ First Contact will occur. In what follows, I examine
three First Contact scenarios that have varying degrees of support and can
be considered most likely to occur.
Finally, I
examine how public opinion is being shaped in ways that promote particular
First Contact scenarios, and the respective roles of extraterrestrials,
national security agencies, UFO/exopolitics researchers, and the general
public.
Political Spin and the
Extraterrestrial Presence
William Safire defines ‘political
spin’ as "a deliberate shading of news perception; attempted
control of political reaction." [4] The
terms ‘political spin’ and ‘spin doctors’ first came to be
used in U.S. Presidential campaigns. [5] The
following editorial by the New York Times referred to how
‘political spin’ was professionally handled shortly by President
Reagan’s senior advisors shortly before the 1984 elections:
A dozen men
in good suits and women in silk dresses will circulate smoothly among
the reporters, spouting confident opinions. They won’t be just press
agents trying to impart a favorable spin to a routine release. They’ll
be Spin Doctors, senior advisors to the candidates, and they’ll
be playing for very high stakes. How well they do their work could be as
important as how well the candidates do theirs. [6]
Rather than
something that pertains solely to the conventional political process,
‘political spin’ has been used in managing the
extraterrestrial phenomenon from the 1940’s due to the covert work of
military intelligence agencies whose task it has been to cover up the
extraterrestrial presence to the general public. Official documents leaked
to the general public show that a secrecy policy was initiated as early
as 1947 under the Truman administration. [7]
The following
passage from an ‘alleged official document’ leaked to
UFO researchers, describes in stark detail the official
secrecy policy as it had evolved by April 1954:
Any encounter
with entities known to be of extraterrestrial origin is to be considered
to be a matter of national security and therefore classified TOP SECRET.
Under no circumstances is the general public or the public press to
learn of the existence of these entities. The official government
policy is that such creatures do not exist, and that no agency of
the federal government is now engaged in any study of extraterrestrials
or their artifacts. Any deviation from this stated policy is absolutely
forbidden. [8]
The officially
sanctioned secrecy policy was supported by military intelligence agencies
whose task it has been to deflect public attention away from the
extraterrestrial presence. Arguably the single most important achievement
in deflecting public attention away was in developing the term
‘UFO’, which was supposedly coined by Captain Edward
Ruppelt in 1951 to replace the less scientifically precise term
‘flying saucer’. Ruppelt claimed that “UFO is the official
term that I created to replace the words ’flying saucers’." [9]
Yet as Dr Steven Greer
discovered in his consultations with a range of military-government
insiders, the term UFO was not widely used at all by
insiders:
“They’re
actually ETV, extraterrestrial vehicle, related. No
one uses the word UFO, by the way. UFO was coined
after they knew they weren’t unidentified.” [10]
The term
UFO therefore provided a useful cover for the
extraterrestrial vehicles that were known rather than unidentified.
This piece of word sophistry proved to be invaluable in the
succeeding decades for senior officials who might have to occasionally go
on the public record. So rather than outright lying, senior government and
military officials who knew about the extraterrestrial presence
were strictly telling the truth when they could say, for example, ‘that
they had seen no evidence supporting the existence of UFOs.’
Such denials of the existence of UFO’s or evidence
supporting them was simply military intelligence ‘spin’ based on
secret military knowledge of extraterrestrial piloted craft that were
‘identified’, rather than ‘unidentified’.
According to
John Maynard, a former Defense Intelligence Agency analyst who
helped in covering up the extraterrestrial presence this was done through
what he described as ‘disinformation’ which has a similar dynamic to
political spin:
Disinformation or misinformation: The art of provided
information in a form that has a certain amount of truth in the
statement to make it a plausible answer to a question or a possible
solution to the topic at hand. Yet, if employed correctly will lead the
person to believe the opposite of what is correct, in other words, come
to the wrong conclusions… [For example] A simple program, say changing
the shape of an object, such as flying saucers.
State the
real fact of what was stated, but add that you ’thought it was
saucer-shaped’, and suggest that the person who was looking at it from a
different angle, saw something like this: "You said it was cigar-shaped,
I thought it was more of a saucer shape myself, probably the angle made
the difference." If you keep repeating this eventually they will believe
it was saucer- shaped. The truth: the person saw a cigar-shaped object.
You changed their minds, and that is what will be reported. [11]
So along with
disinformation, ‘political spin’ made it possible for senior
officials to cover up for decades what they knew, and to
allow the general public to remain in the dark about visiting
extraterrestrial races. So rather than a new development,
‘political spin’, along with other military intelligence strategies such
as disinformation, has been used since the very beginning of the
UFO phenomenon to shape public perceptions about the reality
of visiting extraterrestrial races and their vehicles.
So I now
precede to examine two ‘officially sanctioned’ scenarios that are likely
to be ‘spun’ to prepare the general public for ‘first contact’ with
extraterrestrial races in a way that will assist the long term agenda of
national intelligence agencies.
Contact Scenario 1:
‘War of the
Worlds’ – The Hostile Extraterrestrial
In 1938, Orson Wells produced a radio adaptation of
H.G. Wells, ‘War of the Worlds’. [12] In
the famous broadcast, listeners believed they were hearing genuine news
reports of an attack by Martians on Earth, and the destruction of the
United States. While Wells’ production shocked listeners, it gave a
classic example of how mass communication could very easily shape public
opinion of extraterrestrial races.
Moving to the
present era, Dr Steven Greer, director of the ‘Disclosure Project’, has interviewed over 400
whistleblowers that are former or current employees in the U.S.
military-intelligence community, corporations working on military
projects, or the aviation industry. [13]
In his
interviews he has learned of a secret plan that involved producing another
fictitious ‘War of the Worlds’ as a ‘First Contact’ event
where the global population would officially learn of the hitherto
secret extraterrestrial presence in terms of a contrived
extraterrestrial invasion:
To justify
eventually spending trillions of dollars on space weapons, the world
would be deceived about a threat from outer space, thus uniting the
world in fear, in militarism and in war. Since 1992 I have seen this
script unveiled to me by at least a dozen well-placed insiders. Of
course, initially I laughed, thinking this just too absurd and
far-fetched. Dr. Rosin gave her testimony to the Disclosure
Project before 9/11. And yet others told me explicitly that
things that looked like UFOs but that are built and under
the control of deeply secretive ’black’
projects, were being used to simulate - hoax -
ET-appearing events, including some abductions and cattle mutilations,
to sow the early seeds of cultural fear regarding life in outer
space.
And that at
some point after global terrorism, events would unfold that would
utilize the now-revealed Alien Reproduction Vehicles
(ARVs, or reversed-engineered
UFOs made by humans by studying actual ET craft - see the
book ’Disclosure’ by the same author) to hoax an attack on Earth.
Like the movie Independence Day, an attempt to unite the world
through militarism would unfold using ET as the new cosmic
scapegoat (think Jews during the Third Reich). [14]
The fake
extraterrestrial invasion would presumably happen at a time and
place that suits the interests of clandestine organizations that have
secretly managed extraterrestrial affairs since the Second World
War era. [15]
A significant development that supports such a possibility is the
production of modern version of ‘War of the Worlds’. Directed by
Steven Spielberg, staring Tom Cruise and produced with a budget of
$200 million, the remake was fast –tracked for release in June 2005. The
movie would, like the “Independence Day” movie, popularize in the
U.S. and global population the idea of an extraterrestrial invasion, and
the need for a coordinated global defense.
Such a need was
something that former U.S. President Ronald
Reagan fervently believed was necessary
based on his secret knowledge of the extraterrestrial presence:
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?" "There are only a handful of
people who know the truth about this. [16]
The association
of Spielberg with the new ‘War of the Worlds’ is quite
significant since there have been rumors that his earlier movie, “Close
Encounters of the Third Kind” was secretly an effort to prime the
general public for disclosure of the extraterrestrial presence. [17]
A contrived ‘War of the Worlds’ would allow
military-intelligence organizations in the U.S. and elsewhere to continue
their vast network of secret projects that are funded by
‘black’ budgets that in the case of the US, go
as high as $1.7 trillion dollars annually. [18]
The ‘fake
invasion’ would allow the passage of strict national security
laws that would benefit those factions within the national and global
extraterrestrial management groups that desire to maintain full control of
all aspects of the extraterrestrial presence without being scrutinized by
open and transparent democratic processes.
The strongest
supporters of a fake extraterrestrial invasion have been described
by former ‘government insiders’ Daniel Salter and Michael
Wolf, as a mysterious military ‘Cabal’ within the
‘shadow government’ running extraterrestrial affairs, that
has in the past approved policies targeting and shooting down visiting
extraterrestrial space craft. According to Salter, a “renegade
force called the Cabal is responsible for attacking and
retrieving extraterrestrial entities and craft. They may be the
group that is aggressively disturbing the potential of contact between the
ETs and humankind.” [19]
According to Greer and another UFO researcher, Dr Richard Boylan, many
of the recent reports of extraterrestrial abuses are related to
military abductions (MILABs). They cite the work of Dr Helmut
Lammer who has provided extensive analysis of the role of
military-intelligence agencies in the abduction experience. [20]
Lammer’s work
suggests that these MILABs have a genuine extraterrestrial
component in them implying either cooperation or connection
with extraterrestrial abductions. For example, if an extraterrestrial
abduction occurs, then this is somehow monitored and the same ‘victim’ is
then abducted and examined by military-intelligence forces using invasive
medical and psychological techniques.
Reflecting on
the relationship between extraterrestrial abductions and MILABs,
Lammer writes:
“If one
speculates that a core of the alien abduction phenomenon is indeed real,
the same people who are behind these [secret military] projects would
have an interest in alien biology/genetics and mind control
procedures.” [21]
Prominent
UFO ‘abduction’ researchers such as Dr David Jacobs, Budd
Hopkins and the late Dr Karla Turner have provided detailed
case studies of the abusive aspects of UFO ‘abductions’. [22]
These researchers found disturbing evidence of abusive treatment of
individuals taken into UFO craft, of women being
involuntarily subjected to a genetic program aimed at producing
human-extraterrestrial hybrids, and of adult hybrids performing
humiliating sexual activities on female abductees.
Jacobs
elaborates on the possible goal of the extraterrestrial abduction program
as follows:
With the use
of superior technology, both physical and biological, they are engaging
in the systematic and clandestine physiological exploitation, and
perhaps alteration, of human beings for the purposes of passing on their
genetic capabilities to progeny who will integrate into the human
society and, without doubt, control it…. In the end it is possible that
it will be of some benefit to us but if we survive as a species, the
price for this charity will be relinquishment of the freedom to dictate
our own destiny and, most likely, our personal freedom as well. [23]
Elaborating on
recent reports of abusive human extraterrestrial encounters, the
well-known UFO writer, Whitley Strieber suggested that a
‘dark chapter’ has started as far as the extraterrestrial
presence is concerned for those experiencing the abduction phenomenon.
[24]
More
disturbingly, he cites reports of human mutilations as worrying testimony
of this disturbing new phase. A detailed study of one human mutilation was
evidence that the perpetrators had no concern about the life of the victim
and of leaving the evidence behind. [25]
In addition to
the human mutilation phenomenon, are reports of underground bases where
extraterrestrials perform a variety of experiments on abducted
humans who are held indefinitely and appear to be little more than
laboratory specimens. Most disturbing is evidence that national
security agencies are aware of such abuses
and even complicit in their occurrence. [26]
The increasing evidence of hostile extraterrestrial
behavior have contributed to shifts in public opinion of
extraterrestrials from the friendly ‘space brothers’ of early
UFO experiences such as George Adamski, to the more
dangerous ‘hostile visitors’ that need to be closely
monitored and even opposed by national security agencies. [27]
This increase
in reports of abusive extraterrestrial behavior may have different
explanations. The first is that there has been an increase in
extraterrestrials performing abductions and/or humans remembering and
reporting these negative encounters as Jacobs and Strieber
contend. The second is that there has been an upsurge in
military-intelligence abductions which have thrown a distortive
layer into the more benign human-extraterrestrial encounter as
Greer and Boylan contend. It is likely that both
explanations are valid which accounts for the wide range of perspectives
found in those studying the abduction phenomenon. [28]
Consequently, the evidence in terms of increased reports of abuses
related to the abduction phenomenon points to the conclusion that there
has been a distinct shift in the way the extraterrestrials presence is
being managed and being ‘leaked’ to the general public. It is very likely
that the military-intelligence community is playing a prominent role in
leaking information that extraterrestrials visiting Earth are hostile and
regularly violate human abductees.
This
‘spinning’ of the extraterrestrial data would make possible a
First Contact scenario where an extraterrestrial invasion
is faked either entirely by military-intelligence units, staged with
cooperative factions of extraterrestrials, or represent a limited military
confrontation with extraterrestrial races performing unauthorized
abductions.
As Steven Greer suggests, the contrived
war on terrorism and invasion of Iraq are
stepping-stones to the ultimate ‘war of the worlds’. [29] The
‘Cabal’ is very influential within the Bush
administration as evidenced by the preemptive war in Iraq, and views its
long term interests as best served with continuation of a strict national
security system. [30]
A contrived
extraterrestrial invasion would allow the Bush administration to
release sufficient information about the historic extraterrestrial
presence to support past U.S. military intelligence polices regarding
the cover-up of the extraterrestrial presence. This would ensure that
former officials involved in secretly managing extraterrestrial affairs
would not be made accountable for past actions and protected from legal
prosecution. While there appears to be firm support from within the U.S.
military-intelligence community for a ‘contrived invasion’, there has also
reportedly been significant opposition that has led to factional splits in
the ‘shadow government’
responsible for managing ET affairs. [31]
Furthermore, there appears to be only weak support from global
institutions for a contrived ‘war of the worlds’ that are more
influenced by moderate extraterrestrial control management groups
associated with international institutions such as the Bilderberg Group and the Trilateral Commission.
According one
researcher:
The
"progressives" within Bilderberg and within the National
Security apparatus of the U.S. have as their objective that the
world’s conflicts be ended, and that thus, there be no temptation to
weaponize ET technology, before ET high-tech such as
zero-point energy devices are allowed to go into public
circulation. [32]
This is
reflected in major global opposition to the Bush administration’s
policies in Iraq which is a cover for a more aggressive
extraterrestrial management role by the Cabal embedded
within the U.S. national security system. [33] It
appears that there is a genuine factional struggle between a hard-line
control group apparently wanting to have or to create the impression of a
need for a war with extraterrestrial races, and another faction seeking
cooperation and a more genuine form of disclosure.
Consequently, a
contrived “War of the Worlds’ is a possible extraterrestrial
contact scenario that would be spun for general public consumption,
and has varying degrees of support in the secret management groups that
run extraterrestrial affairs.
Contact Scenario 2:
Close
Encounters of the Third Kind - The ‘Friendly Though Enigmatic’
Extraterrestrial
This contact
scenario would use a variation of scripts popularized by Steven
Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and the more recent
television mini-series he produced Taken. [34]
Here the
extraterrestrials would be depicted in a more friendly though enigmatic
light as a technologically advanced race that has entered into some loose
agreements with the U.S. and possibly other national governments. In these
agreements, the extraterrestrials exchanged their advanced
technology for the U.S. government acquiescing to the
extraterrestrials using human genetic material for the biological
enhancement of their race.
The agreements
would portray the relationship and motivations of both the
extraterrestrials and clandestine government authorities as benign, but
that these agreements suffered hiccups due to the willful activities of a
renegade group of military-intelligence officials - the
‘Cabal’.
The secrecy surrounding
extraterrestrial-government agreements, extraterrestrial abuses of
civilians, shooting down of extraterrestrial ships would presumably be
attributed to the willful activities and disinformation stemming from the
‘Cabal’, and/or the possible assistance of ‘rogue’
extraterrestrial groups. [35]
Military-intelligence officials associated with the ‘Cabal’
would be identified and made accountable for their activities, and/or
‘rogue extraterrestrials’ would be forced to leave. The script for
this scenario would then involve the world celebrating the open appearance
of ‘friendly’ extraterrestrials willing to assist humanity
acquire advanced technology, purging of the ‘Cabal’ from the
military intelligence community, and/or departure of ‘rogue’
extraterrestrials. Remaining extraterrestrials would subsequently
be depicted in a more positive light as friendly though enigmatic entities
that can assist in the development of human civilization.
Supporters of Spielberg’s Close Encounters ‘contact
scenario’ within the military intelligence community have long leaked
information of the benign intentions of extraterrestrial visitors.
This ‘leaked’ information comes from ‘whistleblowers’ or those
embedded with national security organizations that may be part of a covert
campaign to shape public opinion for a forthcoming public disclosure.
Researchers such as Steven Greer and Richard Boylan support
the view that extraterrestrials are friendly and that all stories of
abusive extraterrestrial behavior is due to disinformation stemming from
the ‘Cabal’. Greer in particular cites an impressive array
of military whistleblowers he has interviewed who testify to the benign
nature of the extraterrestrials.
For example,
Clifford Stone who served for twenty years in covert retrievals of
extraterrestrial craft, stated the following in an interview with
Greer:
We have
contact with aliens not originating from some foreign country but from
some other solar system. And I have been a party to that. I’ve worked
it. I’ve been there. And I know some of the things we do is really,
really, really, really terrible. They are not hostile toward us. We are
the enemy in this instance – be we are the enemy, I like to think, for
good reasons.” [36]
Another
whistleblower Greer interviewed, Daniel Salter, also attests to the benign
nature of extraterrestrials:
“[Werner] von
Braun knew that from 1947 through 1951, we had shot down, captured and
arrested extraterrestrials with their vehicles so we could study them.
Yet the ETs have never committed an aggressive act towards
humans; humans have always shot first.” [37]
Boylan relies
on interviews with Dr Michael Wolf to assert the benign intentions
of extraterrestrials. [38]
Despite these clear references to benign extraterrestrials,
there are references by some of these same whistleblowers to
‘rogue extraterrestrials’ in other interviews not cited by Greer or
Boylan. For instance in another interview, Clifford Stone
distinguishes between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ extraterrestrials, and
clearly refers to one group, the Grays, as committing egregious
abductions and that the U.S. government is unsure how to disclose this to
the general public:
“The good
guys [ETs] are, well, I like to refer to them as being
nomadic. What you’re talking about, about the non-intervention with
other intelligent life forms is a universal law. The
nomadics go along with that. The greys violated the
universal law…. I think there is the effort for the good guys
to make contact with the people within our government, but I think now
what is happening is that the U.S. government learned in 1983 or
thereabout that they are NOT dealing with the good guys, but really
don’t know what to do about it. [39]
Michael Wolf
also elaborated on the motivations of extraterrestrial races in an
interview where he stated:
Most are
benevolent. Occasionally some get through the alien barrier, but they
don’t generally come back. They don’t come back here once they are
spotted and identified. Once they have hidden agendas, once they are
identified, they are barred from coming here…. But those are out of a
myriad of races, and they are few and far between. [40]
The idea
that most extraterrestrials are benign, but that a few are rogue who
form a troublesome minority in the galactic community has been supported
by the remote viewer, Dr Courtney Brown who has conducted numerous
remote viewing sessions
of visiting extraterrestrials. [41] He
argues, for example, that the “reptilians are involved with weapons
manufacture... I suggest that these prototypes are designed to shoot down
ships aligned with the Galactic Federation,
particularly Grey ships.” [42]
The most intriguing whistleblower information concerning different
extraterrestrial factions come from a microbiologist, Dr
Dan Burisch, who
allegedly worked closely with a ‘Gray’ extraterrestrial known as
J-Rod. [43]
According to Burisch he actually took biological samples from the
extraterrestrial that was from Zeta Reticulum:
“I was
briefed that J-Rod was an alien, specifically from the
(Zeta) Reticuli 1 and 2 (binary) system,
specifically from Reticulum 4 (fourth planet from one of the
suns).” [44]
Using the
knowledge and material gained from his interaction with J-Rod,
Burisch allegedly worked on a highly classified project called
‘Lotus’ which focused on acquiring knowledge of a mysterious
‘Ganesh Particle’ that could lead to cell regeneration and
the creation of life. [45] The case involving
Burisch has led to the release of information of his classified work with
J-Rod, his work on Project Lotus, and his communications
with select shadow government committees.
A very significant fact
about Burisch is that a number of independent researchers have been able
to conduct face to face interviews concerning his classified activities,
and were even allowed to distribute this information to the general
public. These include well known researchers such as Linda Moulton Howe
and Bill Hamilton, and members of a popular internet forum, Sterling D.
Allan and Harry Dschaak. [46]
Even the author
of this paper was even able to have a limited email communication with Dr
Burisch that discussed aspects of the classified projects Burisch was
engaged in. [47] These researchers have
all detected something of great significance occurring in the Burisch
case, and their unprecedented access to Burisch who was actively engaged
in a classified project suggested that the disclosures made by Burisch had
insider support.
Prominent
individuals within one of the key shadow government committees, apparently
the ‘Committee of the Majority’, were facilitating access, and
enabling the distribution of the Burisch material. [48]
According to
Burisch’s supporters, this is because Burisch is insisting on the
information he possessed being distributed to the public, otherwise he
wouldn’t cooperate in Project Lotus which was essential since he
apparently was the only microbiologist with the requisite knowledge to
understand the Ganesh particle. [49]
Another
significant aspect of the Burisch saga is that there is apparently a
policy schism within the secret committee system that runs
extraterrestrial affairs. While Burisch has had access to the general
public and been able to release classified information, there has also
allegedly been efforts to intimidate and silence him by those insider
factions opposed to the disclosure process he was participating in.
Apparently, Burisch was physically attacked, had his memories removed, was
taken to remote locations and held incommunicado for extensive periods.
[50]
Some of the
major exopolitical themes coming through the Burisch saga are that
there are two factions of J-Rod extraterrestrials. One faction
apparently helped Burisch in his research and is benign, and wants the
knowledge concerning the ‘Ganesh particle’ disseminated in a way
that helps humanity, and also assists the Grays/J-Rods themselves
in repairing their own damaged DNA.
The other
faction of J-Rods/Grays is somehow causing problems that leads to
‘reactionary’ or ultra-nationalistic national security officials
(i.e., ‘the Cabal ’) implementing xenophopic policies towards
extraterrestrials. Evidently, the Cabal wants to gain control
of the Ganesh Particle so it can be used for the usual range of
self-serving reasons of power, greed and exploitation.
Burisch’s
information and public interviews is evidence of a factional struggle
between different control groups within the extraterrestrial management
system over how to present the first contact scenario. [51] ‘Progressive
controllers’ are allegedly in an intense struggle against
‘reactionary’ controllers (‘the cabal’) in setting up policy on
extraterrestrials and how to respond to Dan Burisch.
There is also a
split between friendly J-Rods/Grays and rogue J-Rods/Grays
in terms of extraterrestrial motivations and activities towards humanity.
Individuals following the Burisch saga believe that the very fate of
humanity is being decided through this clandestine struggle, and the
general public is being urged to support Dr Burisch in releasing the
information and appearing before the U.S. Congress. [52]
This implies
supporting the progressives within the management system in their
‘difficult struggle’ against the reactionaries and rogue
‘J-Rods’. Such a struggle is alluded to by Boylan in his discussion of
progressive and reactionary management factions in U.S. and global
institutions, and his support for ‘progressive’ factions. [53]
What can be
concluded from the Burisch material is that it has been largely developed
to present a credible contact scenario sought by military-intelligence
organizations managing extraterrestrial affairs. The unprecedented public
access to Burisch and his ability to disclose classified information
indicates he is ‘unknowingly’ part of a covert campaign to influence
public opinion about the extraterrestrial presence and classified
projects.
Burisch’s work
with J-Rod/Grays and his involvement with ‘Ganesh particle’
indicates a joint government/ extraterrestrial effort to give a more
morally positive image to the extraterrestrial presence, and to create the
perception that their biological work has beneficial applications for both
humanity and the Gray extraterrestrial race. At the same
time, the existence of ‘rogue extraterrestrials’ and a reactionary
‘Cabal’ provides the basis for explaining the more negative
aspects of the extraterrestrial presence found in numerous abduction
reports and whistleblower testimonies. [54]
Another
variation of the ‘friendly though enigmatic’ extraterrestrial
contact scenario emerges from the recent publication of a
whistleblower’s experiences with a race he described as ‘Tall
Whites’. [55]
Charles Hall was
stationed at Nellis Air force base from 1965-67 where his duty was to use
weather balloons for the Air Force from the Indian Springs location on the
base. He describes his interactions with ’Tall Whites’ beginning in
1965 and how he and other servicemen coped with their disturbing presence.
Hall described a catalogue of incidents where the ‘Tall Whites’
terrorized other military servicemen who didn’t understand them, surprised
them or threatened them in some way.
The ‘Tall
Whites’ are described in enigmatic terms as a race that physically
intimidated some servicemen, yet were capable of displaying sincere
friendship and appreciation to Hall since he had apparently saved the life
of a ‘tall White’. [56] This is where the Tall
Whites display more positive qualities such as friendship and superior
knowledge that they shared with Hall and with the U.S. Air Force. Hall
describes how the US Air Force would supply the tall whites with metals
such as titanium and aluminium, as food and clothing in exchange for the
technologies relating to development of atomic powered space crafts. [57]
Significantly,
the ‘Tall Whites’ began to be seen in the Mojave desert area in
1954 indicating that they were associated with the agreement(s) reached between the ‘tall
Grays’ and the Eisenhower administration in 1954. [58]
Hall further
describes regularly seeing them in the presence of Air Force generals and
other senior officials who recognized the ambassadorial status of the Tall
White leader. [59] This indicates that a
disclosure announcement will be likely made that spins information in a
way that justifies the shadow government’s agreements with the
‘Tall Whites’, and casts them as ‘friendly though enigmatic’
extraterrestrials.
In conclusion, the contact scenario that is
being spun for public consumption is based on success by one faction of an
extraterrestrial control management group (the ‘progressives’) over
a more reactionary faction (the Cabal). The public disclosure
process and the subsequent purging of the Cabal would be ‘spun’ in
a way that legitimates the policies and approach of the ‘progressive’
faction of the management groups responsible for extraterrestrial affairs.
This First
Contact scenario would be more peaceful than the ‘War of the
Worlds’ scenario and would lead to a more genuine account of
the extraterrestrial presence. However, it would still be ‘spun’ in
a way that disguises the full extent of extraterrestrial abuses,
government complicity in this, and the presence of more ‘service
oriented’ extraterrestrial races that have not been
permitted to operate openly in human affairs. [60] This First Contact
scenario would be based on cooperation between ‘progressives’ and
extraterrestrials participating in secret agreements, to hide the
full extent of the extraterrestrial presence on the planet, and the
abusive activities that have occurred. [61]
The shaping of
public perceptions for a ‘First Contact’ scenario with ‘friendly
though enigmatic’ extraterrestrials is well advanced as evidenced by
public interest in the Burisch saga, the extraterrestrial abduction
phenomenon, the popularity of the mini-series Taken, and the recent
publication of Charles Hall’s memoirs.
Scenario 3:
Star Trek –
The Galactic Federation Shows Up
Very recently, another First Contact scenario emerged
into the public arena that could very easily have come from the pen of the
famous Star Trek producer Gene Rodenberry.
It involved a message that claimed to originate from
a group of extraterrestrial races addressed to ordinary
citizens or ‘individuals without distinction’, and operating under a
principle very similar to the ‘Prime Directive’ Rodenberry
attributed to the Galactic Federation in his Star Trek
series. The ‘Change the World’ message was received and
distributed by a French aviation expert, Jean Ederman (aka Eric Julien) and continues to circulate on the Internet, and gained
worldwide attention. [62]
The alleged
extraterrestrial sponsors of the message transmitted through Ederman
wanted to ask “individuals without distinction” the question "Do You
Wish That We Show Up?" The extraterrestrials claimed to be conducting
a global ballot on behalf of extraterrestrials concerned about the future
of humanity’s sovereign control of the planet.
The
extraterrestrials described how they had earlier attempted to reach
agreement with government representatives on establishing First Contact
but were rejected:
There are
two ways to establish a cosmic contact with another
civilization: via its standing representatives or directly with
individuals without distinction. The first way entails fights of
interests, the second way brings awareness. The first way was chosen by
a group of races motivated by keeping mankind in slavery, thereby
controlling Earth resources, the gene pool and human emotional energy.
The second way was chosen by a group of races allied with the cause of
the Spirit of service. We have, at our end, subscribed to this
disinterested cause and introduced ourselves a few years ago to
representatives of the human power who refused our outstretched hand on
the pretext of incompatible interests with their strategic vision. [63]
The reference
to abusive extraterrestrial races that had signed secret
agreements with human representatives is an accurate description of
what has historically occurred, and presented a dilemma for more ‘service
oriented’ extraterrestrials races that wanted to assist global humanity
but were limited to something similar to Rodenberry’s Prime
Directive. [64]
In explaining
how they would establish contact by raising ‘awareness’ the
extraterrestrials wrote about how a response to the question over them
showing up would be the catalyst for the First Contact scenario they had
in mind. A simple answer could be monitored and tabulated in some way as
part of a ballot of global humanity:
"The truth of
soul can be read by telepathy. You only need to clearly ask yourself
this question [Do You Wish That We Show Up?] and give your answer as
clearly, on your own or in a group, as you wish. … YES or NO,
IMMEDIATELY AFTER ASKING THE QUESTION!" [65]
In
understanding the significance of this message and the plausibility of the
contact scenario is describes, it’s worth first examining the individual
responsible for distributing the ‘Change the World’ message,
it’s consistency with earlier contactee reports of
‘benevolent’ extraterrestrials, and the likelihood that it
is a genuine communication from extraterrestrials.
The author of
the message is Jean Ederman, a French pilot, air traffic controller
and airport manager, who claims to have been given the Message by a
visiting group of ’benevolent extraterrestrials’ after ‘mentally
projecting himself into their space’.
On his website
he describes a number of experiences he has had with visiting ET races
over the years as well as the experience that produced the ‘Change the
World’ message:
“after having
learned how to mentally project myself to a place in the presence of
benevolent ETs, I received the following message on behalf of
their hierarchy.” [66]
Ederman’s
method of communication falls into the category ‘telepathic thought
exchange’. Such a form of communication is not unusual when it comes
to analyzing the literature on extraterrestrials since many
researchers/former government employees have commented on this including
Dan Burisch and his interaction with J-Rod.
For example,
Sergeant Dan Sherman has written extensively of his participation in
‘Project Preserve
Destiny’, a secret U.S. National Security Agency
communication project that used psychics for establishing telepathic
contact with extraterrestrial races. [67]
This suggests
that Ederman’s claimed communication with extraterrestrials is
plausible. The difficult question is how to ascertain whether it is
genuine or not? One way is to look for clues in Ederman’s own experiences
and writings concerning extraterrestrials, the other way is to examine the
message itself in terms of textual clarity, coherence, and its political
content as far as extraterrestrials are concerned.
In examining
Ederman’s website and his writings, one finds a chronology of Ederman’s
experiences with extraterrestrials that date from 1977. He
provides descriptions of extraterrestrial technology that while
technical in nature, are not that difficult to conceptually grasp. Much of
his material is consistent with the material provided by well-known
whistleblowers such as Bob Lazar, a former physicist employed at Area 51. [68] Based on his
experiences, website material, and the history of psychic communications
with extraterrestrial races, there is nothing to dismiss the possibility
that Ederman did genuinely achieve telepathic communication with one or
more advanced extraterrestrial races in the
‘Change the World’
message. This now takes me to a textual analysis of the
message.
What immediately stands out in the ‘Change the World’
message allegedly received from extraterrestrials is the
strange grammar. This grammatical oddity appears to be little more
than a translation problem from French to English, and may have been an
intentional aspect behind the message, and the choice of a non-English
speaker by the possible extraterrestrial race(s) behind it.
The odd
grammar forces the native English speaker to deviate from the typical
left hemisphere brain processing that dominates when reading textual
information. The left-brain processing of information tends to be
analytical, logical, and reductive. The pondering of the strange grammar
forces English speakers to use the right brain hemisphere where the
processing of information is more creative, intuitive and expansive. [69]
If an
advanced extraterrestrial culture wanted to communicate to the
general mass of humanity, and in the process shift individuals from using
left brain dominant processes, to right brain dominant processes in order
to more fully appreciate the content and significance of the
communication; then translation from a non-dominant global language into
the dominant language used on the internet would partly achieve this
purpose.
The overall text in the ‘Change the World’ message
is coherent and consistent, and indicative of someone with a
high degree of intelligence and conceptual sophistication. He is able to
express a range of complex issues in an accessible manner, despite the
grammatical difficulties the English reader encounters when reading the
French translation.
More
importantly, the text brings together a range of issues that combine
together very well to frame the essential question posed by the text:
“Do You Wish that We Show Up?” The organization of the text
suggests someone who is familiar with the issues and concepts being
discussed, and is competent in communicating this to others.
Ederman’s style is deliberative and purposive, rather than
discursive or didactive. This is indicative of someone who wants to
‘inform’ others rather than ‘impose’ beliefs on others. [70]
The message
outlines the choices humanity has in dealing with a range of problems it
has, rather than telling humanity what to do. The message makes clear what
the extraterrestrials recommend, but does so in a way that leaves
the choices up to humanity to decide. This suggests that the writer, is
not setting out to establish a new philosophy or religion, but merely
acting as a vehicle for transmission of the Message.
My overall
conclusion based on my analysis of the text is that Ederman is a rational
intelligent individual, intent on faithfully communicating a message he
has received, rather than concocting a story for a hidden agenda due to
some psychological need for attention or ego gratification. The choice of
a non-English speaker also appears to be significant in how the majority
of humanity would process the ‘Change the World’ message. This
takes me now to an exopolitical analysis of the message.
The content of the message refers to different extraterrestrial
races that have interacted with various governments, and that the
orientations and agendas of extraterrestrials differ widely. I have argued
in another paper that there are at least seventeen different
extraterrestrials races interacting in a significant way with
humanity. [71]
Six of these
have extensive ties with or cooperated with what is described as a
‘military-industrial-extraterrestrial complex’. The other eleven
extraterrestrial races were outside of this
‘military-industrial-extraterrestrial complex’ due to their principled
opposition to giving technology to national governments that might be used
for weapons research. My analysis is that the extraterrestrial
races that apparently communicated with Ederman lie outside of the
military-industrial-extraterrestrial complex.
This is
evidenced in the concern the extraterrestrials in the ‘Change the
World’ message display with the human predicament and the sense of
urgency they have in terms of the little time they argue humanity has.
They show special concern for the situation created by ‘official
representatives’ of humanity entering into agreements with other
extraterrestrials and creating a military-industrial-extraterrestrial
complex.
The extraterrestrials communicating in the ‘Change the
World’ message are very respectful as evidenced by their
asking for humanity’s permission and they appear to be quite
guarded in what they can offer. Their reference to a hierarchy of
extraterrestrials to which they report suggests that they are
following galactic protocols laid down by more developed
extraterrestrial races for intervention on planets such as Earth.
Such protocols are described in the work of Alfred Webre who conducted
research into different forms of communication with visiting
extraterrestrial races. [72]
Thus far, my
(exo)political analysis of the ‘Change the World’ message is
quite consistent with the research I have conducted on the political
implications of the extraterrestrial presence. The message is
sophisticated in its analysis of the political problems caused by
extraterrestrials visiting the planet and the consequences of the
agreements they have reached with the military-intelligence communities
that have ‘represented’ global humanity.
I now look at the
‘Change the World message’ and its consistency with
contactee reports of extraterrestrials visiting and
physically interacting with humanity. Ever since George Adamski wrote his
famous book, Inside the Flying Saucers, in 1955, there has been a
succession of private citizens who have claimed to have been contacted
by extraterrestrial races and had extensive communications and
interactions with them. [73] Along with Adamski,
some of these initial contactees included Howard Menger, Orfeo Angelucci,
Paul Villa and George Van Tassel. [74]
These
communications and interactions with extraterrestrials varied considerably
depending on the contactee but essentially all revealed that
extraterrestrial races were deliberately contacting private
individuals to disseminate information about the existence of
extraterrestrial races, and the benevolent intentions of extraterrestrials
who were making contact. Over the years, the list of ‘contactees’
has grown considerably and the more well known in the recent era include
Billy Meier, Carlos Diaz,
Alex Collier, Enrique
Castillo, and Phillip Krapf. [75]
These
‘contactees’ have consequently given public lectures, written books,
formed support groups, and communicated with key elites, all with the
purpose of conveying the information given by extraterrestrials and
convincing a skeptical public of the friendly nature of these
extraterrestrials. The message distributed by Ederman is very consistent
with the information distributed by most of these contactees who describe
secret agreements involving national governments, deception by
‘rogue’ or ‘manipulative’ extraterrestrials, use of
extraterrestrial technologies for military purposes, and widespread global
environment damage caused by existing government policies.
I now
look at one further possibility that might cast doubt on the genuineness
of the message. One possibility that has been raised is that the message
is a form of sophisticated disinformation. [76]
The
military-intelligence community in the U.S. and elsewhere has developed
sophisticated disinformation strategies to distract UFO/Exopolitics
researchers, misdirect their meager resources to unproductive areas,
create division in the UFO/exopolitical research community, or to
simply confuse and create uncertainty. [77] The primary goal of
such disinformation is to direct attention away from any information that
might threaten the non-disclosure policy of the military-intelligence
community.
The ‘Change
the World’ message, on the contrary, achieves precisely the opposite.
It has achieved a growing degree of public attention by disseminating
information that undermines efforts by the military-intelligence community
and responsible political representatives to deny the reality of the
extraterrestrial presence. The message directs attention to the
culpability of national agencies in establishing agreements with
extraterrestrial races that have led to abuses of individuals and global
humanity more generally.
This reference
to the culpability of the military-intelligence agencies is not
something that these agencies desire to become public as evidenced in
efforts to cover up cases such as human rights abuses in shared
military-extraterrestrial facilities. [78] Due to the orientation
and effect of the message, and the consistency with results of my own
research on the extraterrestrial presence, I conclude that it is not
government disinformation.
As a result of my analysis of Ederman’s
background, intellectual abilities, and technical knowledge, nothing
stands out as excluding the possibility that his ‘Change the World’
message constitutes a genuine communication from one or more
extraterrestrial races. My analysis of the political implications of the
message indicates that it is consistent with the basic facts concerning
the extraterrestrial presence. Perhaps the most compelling reason for
believing in the authenticity of the ‘Change the World’ message is
what has occurred to Jean Ederman subsequent to his distribution of the
message up until March 12, 2004.
After
mysteriously disappearing for several weeks where he allegedly spent time
as a ‘contactee’ with the extraterrestrials responsible for
initiating the message, Ederman subsequently returned only to be
silenced by French national security agencies through a series of
threats and intimidation against family members. Ederman was prevented
from disclosing to the general public more information about the
extraterrestrials responsible for the ‘Change the World’ message
and his more recent extraterrestrial contact experiences. [79]
This is
consistent with the practice of National Security Agencies to silence
‘contactees’ who have physically interacted with extraterrestrials with
threats and intimidation. [80] My overall conclusion
is that the Message is a genuine communication to global humanity
from one or more extraterrestrial races.
The ‘Change the World’
message describes a very different First Contact scenario to
the first two described in this paper which are different spins on the
extraterrestrial presence created by the shadow government responsible for
extraterrestrial affairs. The ‘Change the World’ message provides an
offer of tangible assistance to a global political problem we have - the
world wide suppression of the extraterrestrial presence and the secret
agreements that exist.
By going
directly to the general population – individuals without distinction –
this group of extraterrestrials has sparked a very different
process for shaping public opinion concerning First Contact. At the time
of writing, the message had been translated into fourteen languages, and
continues to generate numerous website discussions and initiatives
including an online petition with over 750 signatures by December 2004.
[81]
The spread of
the message and the enthusiasm it generated for an alternative contact
scenario has had a surprising effect on public opinion of the
extraterrestrial presence. Contact groups are emerging around the planet
united by enthusiasm for the prospect of a First Contact and promise to be
a significant new actor in how the extraterrestrial presence is understood
and managed. [82]
The emergence
of these contact groups and the impact on public opinion they are having
may well have been the primary purpose of the message – preparing
humanity to openly interact with extraterrestrial races.
Conclusion: Political Spin
and Extraterrestrial Disclosure
In startling testimony for the Disclosure Project, Dr Carol Rosin testified
how she had been present in secret high level discussions where disclosure
of the extraterrestrial presence would occur after international terrorism
failed to be a credible justification for vast military expenditures by
the U.S. military. [83]
These
expenditures are vital to major U.S. corporations that have played a vital
role in secretly servicing the vast network of projects that are directed
towards the extraterrestrial presence. In an interview, Dr Carol
Rosin revealed how Dr Werner Von Braun who had intimate
knowledge of the vast covert projects that dealt with
extraterrestrials, catalogued the list of future ‘threats’ to be
used to justify military expenditures.
He [Von Braun] would
say that starting where I entered the industry with the supposed
Russian threat, but never actually existed the Russians
were made to be the enemy. Then there would be terrorists,
Third World country threats, there would be an asteroid
threat. They might even say to us to try to influence the public into
believing that there are many reasons for why we should put weapons in
space. There might be a reason to protect our assets in space. But, the
real one that he was always holding off on and would say again with tears
filling his eyes every time he said this to me repeatedly was that the
last card they are holding is the ’alien card,’ the
extraterrestrial card and none of them are hostile. [84]
The eventual
exhaustion of conventional threats that justify growing military
expenditures related to extraterrestrial projects is certain to result in
eventual disclosure of an extraterrestrial presence. Furthermore,
the growing amount of extraterrestrial related information released on to
the internet also points to a critical point being reached that makes
disclosure unavoidable. Consequently, it can be asserted with some
confidence that public disclosure of the extraterrestrial presence is
inevitable, but what remains to be decided is how this will happen.
The role of
public perception is the key to understanding ‘how’ First Contact will
occur and how political spin will be used in this process. There is
evidence that powerful factions within the control groups managing
extraterrestrial affairs are competing to secretly shape the public’s
perceptions of the extraterrestrial presence in a way that makes possible
a contact scenario that suits the long terms agendas of these factions.
[85]
One of these
factions, described as the ‘Cabal’, represents a very
nationalistic and militaristic approach to extraterrestrial affairs
that is based on distrust over extraterrestrial motivations and
activities. Another faction, the ‘progressives’,
represents a more internationalist approach to extraterrestrial
affairs that depict those extraterrestrials that have cooperated with
covert agencies as ‘friendly though enigmatic’. While it was expected that
an effort to shape public opinion would be something different factions in
the extraterrestrial management groups would attempt due to the long
history of non-disclosure and their complicity in this secrecy and use of
‘political spin’, the rapid spread of the ‘Change the World’
message has come as a major surprise.
Groups of
individuals are emerging around the world believing that they now have
a role to play in how the extraterrestrial presence is managed, and how
First Contact emerges. Their unifying principles include
‘transparency’, ‘openness’ and ‘participatory democracy’ in how the
extraterrestrial presence is managed. As these groups communicate and
network amongst themselves, they have the potential to become a global
mass movement that emerges as a major player in the way in which the
extraterrestrial presence is managed at the national and global levels.
Already one
popular Yahoo discussion group with approximately 750 members by
December 2004, ‘prepare4contact’, has drafted and voted on a
document that outlines the aspirations and expectations of ‘individuals
without distinction’ in how extraterrestrials need to conduct
themselves when visiting Earth. [86] The public silencing
of the author of the ‘Change the World’ message will ultimately only
hinder rather than reverse the spread of the message and its
popularity.
There is consequently a competition occurring between
two factions of the clandestine groups that manage the
extraterrestrials presence around the planet - the ‘progressives’
and an ultra nationalistic ‘Cabal’ that ostensibly represent
the ‘light’ and ‘dark’ sides in how the extraterrestrial presence will be
disclosed and ‘spun’ to the general public. However, a third actor in
the form of an emerging global mass movement has been sparked into
action by an unknown group of extraterrestrials responsible for
initiating a series of global ballots on whether extraterrestrials should
show up.
These contact
groups represent a genuine revolution in management of the
extraterrestrial presence, going far beyond the limited reforms promised
by ‘progressive’ global insiders in their efforts to remove the
‘Cabal’ from dominating the management of the extraterrestrial
presence, while still maintaining a high degree of secrecy over the true
extent and history of the extraterrestrial presence.
The effort to
shape public opinion is likely to enter unchartered waters as the two
rival factions in the extraterrestrial global management system find that
the rise of a broad based global movement of contact groups represents a
new dynamic in ‘when’ and ‘how’ First Contact will
occur. The contact scenarios supported by opposing factions of the
shadow government are
variations of two dominant themes both of which involve extraterrestrials
that have been parties to various agreements with the shadow government.
The first is the emergence of ‘hostile extraterrestrials’
leading to a ‘War of the Worlds’ promoted by ‘reactionary
insiders’ or the ‘Cabal’.
The
second is the emergence of ‘friendly though enigmatic
extraterrestrials’ that are given a cautious welcome by
‘progressive’ elements of the shadow government. These two
insider supported contact scenarios have been joined by a third
scenario – a plausible ‘Star Trek’ - like contact event
involving extraterrestrials who have not previously entered into
agreements with military intelligence organizations. The emergence of
this group of extraterrestrials with no track record of secret
agreements or intrusive interactions with the global population is
gradually capturing the hearts and minds of many familiar with the
extraterrestrial presence.
The political spin surrounding First
Contact is already well underway, and it is up to every individual to
learn as much as possible in the remaining time before a disclosure
announcement of the extraterrestrial presence is made or extraterrestrials
emerge into the public consciousness in some unanticipated way.
Understanding and learning about the extraterrestrial presence and
First Contact is the best way in which private citizens or
‘individuals without distinction’ can influence ‘when’ and
‘how’ First Contact will occur, and limit the political spin that
will be used to shape public perceptions about the extraterrestrial
presence.
A new world
awaits us all with disclosure of the extraterrestrial presence, now is the
time to contribute to how that new world will be shaped by our
expectations and aspirations.
