Aloha, I highly recommend the
following (draft) article by Grant Cameron which presents an exhaustive
list of 65 reasons why the reality of extraterrestrial life has not
been 'officially' disclosed by responsible government entities. The
article helps considerably in giving a detailed understanding of some
of the powerful public policy choices being faced by government
entities dealing with the reality of extraterrestrial life. Most
compelling are factors relating to the secret government's fear that
official disclosure would lead to it losing power in deciding public
policy issues, and the likelihood that UFO/ETI groups would gain great
influence. 'Official' disclosure would mean real power shifts from the
small secretly appointed committees dealing with ETI, to a larger
democratic base of global society.
Grant Cameron's article is
probably as close as we can get to a comprehensive understanding why
"official" disclosure has not occurred. In contrast, we have only
received officially sanctioned partial releases of information that
maintain plausible deniability by withdrawing physical evidence, and
including inconsistencies and disinformation. Thus the mainstream press
avoids such officially sanctioned information leaks given the risk to
professional reputations in running stories that can't be confirmed.
Similarly, scholars, who study extraterrestrial life face significant
challenges in getting articles published in peer reviewed journals, and
even holding on to their academic positions as experienced by this
author and others.
So while 'official disclosure is yet to
occur, officially sanctioned leaks of information have been permitted
so those that are ready for the information can develop a "situational
awareness" of extraterrestrial life and the public policy issues it
presents. In contrast, those not ready for the truth can maintain
blissful ignorance or remain in a state of denial where they become
skeptics/debunkers.
The following paper encourages us to develop
an appropriate strategy that culminates in 'official' disclosure. Most
critical in such a strategy will be a series of educational and
political initiatives to stimulate informed public policy debate of
extraterrestrial life, and of the evidence available in the public
realm. Once an informed public dialogue is underway that includes
policy professionals and scholars, then 'official' disclosure will be
much more likely.
The good news is that the rapid increase of
UFO sightings and experiences with extraterrestrial life, and
mainstream press interest in Presidential candidate views, raises
considerably the prospects of official disclosure. The wild card in
public efforts to stimulate official disclosure, is the attitude of
extraterrestrial civilizations monitoring the Earth. Ultimately, they
may decide to precipitate official disclosure by unveiling themselves
to the global public. This is something that should not be
underestimated and indeed may result from informed public debate on
extraterrestrial life.
In peace

The Reasons Why the Government Might Have Chosen not
to Disclose the ET Reality
DRAFT
I think there is a general agreement within the UFO community that UFO
disclosure on the part of the government would be a good idea. Many researchers are
therefore somewhat distressed that the government has made few open indications of any
disclosures any time soon. There is, however, a disconnect between what is viewed as
the apparent best course of action, and what is happening.
In the many lectures I have given on the President and his role in the
UFO cover-up I have been often asked, why the government has chosen to cover-up the ET
presence from the people.
To answer this question I looked back on the administration of Jimmy
Carter who came into the White House after making the promise that he would release
the UFO files once elected.
I have always believed that disclosure will come with extreme pressure on
the government. This is the way it has happened with all major political shifts of the
past. Rarely, if ever, has a politician come up with a good idea to advance society,
and then had all members of the House and Senate jump in and pass it. UFO Disclosure,
just because it is deemed a good idea for society, will not be given a free ride
inside Congress. Nor should it. It is in competition with many good ideas being
promoted by many public interest groups.
In viewing the actions of government I think it is important to remember
that the points below are talking about how the government (not a normal average
American citizen) might think. For example an average citizen would use logic and see
no threat where the government would. In Iraq the White House saw an imminent threat
to the United States from Sadam Hussein who had no weapons of mass destruction, no
planes, no water and electricity in most of the country. The American forces had high
tech fighters flying over the country many times a day shooting at anything they
deemed to be a threat. The military saw a bigger threat than the American populous or
other countries in the United Nations. Danger is a relative term.
A similar example would be the handling of the security situation in the
country following 911. Government security officials developed a system of yellow,
orange, red alerts. Based on the same intelligence agencies that produced bad Iraqi
War intelligence, the color of the light would be changed at wimp representing a
different level of security threat. There was no obligation to justify any change in
the color alert.
Historically, in almost every case, the government is dragged kicking and
screaming to ever important advance in society. Some examples would be:
·
Women’s Right to Vote
began in 1848 when the first Woman's Rights Convention was held, but it was not until
there were large demonstrations outside the White House, where 500 women were
imprisoned, that woman got the right to vote in 1920. Women were not handed the vote.
The vote came after 75 years of struggle.
·
Both large and high
profile demonstrations by Greenpeace activists have stopped US and French nuclear
testing, radioactive waste dumping at sea, and generated a general ecological
awareness by many nations. Our ideas of recycling and protecting the environment came
after years of pressure on politicians.
·
Gay rights was driven by
many large marches on the Mall in Washington DC.
·
Money for aids research
came after great pressure exerted from within the gay and Hollywood communities.
·
The decision to end the
Vietnam War came after years of demonstration on campuses and various U.S. cities.
Our present government is no more willing to make the move for disclosure
than our past leaders were to let African-Americans and women vote, or to recognize
gays. Enough people must support the issue until it becomes a powerful voting block.
Then politicians who must get reelected begin to listen.
The reason by the forces that control the cover-up might be one (or a
combination) of the following points.
