We
have watched with some concern as the emerging area of exo-politics
has taken a dangerous and potentially ruinous turn towards
rumor, urban-myth speculation and inflammatory xenophobia.
While there are certainly diverse opinions regarding why any
given extraterrestrial civilization may wish to visit Earth at
this time in our history, recent public comments by Michael
Salla have added a virulent strain of fear-based xenophobia,
based on the flimsiest of documentation. While I am usually
reticent to engage in commentary regarding the opinions
espoused by certain personalities, I feel a point has been
reached where silence only redounds to the further empowerment
of a message of fear, hatred, prejudice – and the unwitting
buttressing of the argument for weapons and war in space.
Clearly, more is unknown than known in the vast field of
extraterrestrial studies. And at this embryonic stage of
human-extraterrestrial relations, there is yet much to learn,
explore and discover. But in the past year, Salla, who
purports to support peaceful initiatives in this regard, has
put forth prejudicial and dangerous characterizations of ET a
ctions – up to and including the ludicrous accusation that a
certain tall, white ET race caused the Boxing Day Tsunami of
2004! He has maintained that a nefarious and injurious group
of ETs have made a secret pact with covert humans – and have a
harmful agenda towards the human race. This, and more.
The
Disclosure Project has over 450 military, government and
corporate insiders who have first-hand knowledge of actual
UFO/ET events and projects. We find it odd that not a single
one of these insiders can confirm the xenophobic rumors
proffered by Salla.
The
conflation of urban myth and rumor as fact is a dangerous
precedent given what is at stake: The early stages of ET/Human
interaction and relations. We cannot afford to recklessly take
every rumor and tale - often originating from
counter-intelligence operatives who are tasked with either
defaming the UFO subject or sowing fear and prejudice - as a
point of fact upon which to reach a conclusion.
The
facile acceptance of every story as true- no matter how
dangerously xenophobic - is irresponsible and can only serve
the agenda of those who wish to see the populace dis-informed,
panicked and cowed into eventually accepting a military,
space-based solution to the ET problem.
Consider: The Disclosure Project, as well as other
researchers, have found a multi-decade pattern of hoaxed
UFO/ET related events that are clustered around pseudo-contact
experiences (also know as abductions) mutilations,
vivisections and the like. Numerous, corroborative military
and shadowy para-governmental witnesses have testified to
actually conducting abductions and mutilations for their
psychological warfare value. Once such witness, an Army Ranger
involved with special ops stated to me: “You have no idea how
many people – including prominent military and political
figures – we have abducted and terrified so that they will
learn to hate the ET presence and support conflict with them…”
Martin Cannon in the 1980s, and later the book MILAB (Military
Abductions) documented the sophisticated use of electronics,
ARVs (man-made UFO look-alike craft called alien reproduction
vehicles) and ‘stage-craft’ to hoax ET contact events for
their psychological warfare value.
Indeed, CIA documents released to us under FOIA, and which
appear in ‘Extraterrestrial Contact: The Evidence and
Implications’, and ‘Disclosure’, both by this author, discuss
using the UFO matter for psychological warfare purposes.
The
Canadian top–secret document by Wilbert Smith from the early
1950s explains that the UFO matter is the most secret subject
in the US government, exceeding even the secrecy surrounding
the development of the hydrogen bomb. Given these facts, is it
reasonable to accept as true every scary account circulating
in the public, and based on such tales, make sweeping,
prejudicial statements regarding this ET race or that?
We
must use restraint and caution if we are to avoid being
manipulated into the acceptance of another false enemy to
unite around and fight. Numerous senior shadow government
insiders have independently described to me a concerted effort
to dis-inform the public and create the false impression of a
threat from space, so that eventually a multi-trillion dollar
build-up of weapons in space will be accepted by the masses.
Such propaganda is nothing new. Every military power that has
wished to further engage in warfare has first demonized the
enemy. Hitler and his minions expertly demonized Jews, gay
people and others so that people would passively accept the
‘final solution’. The virulent, negative portrayal of such
groups was essential to the creation of a supposed enemy to be
dealt with violently.
Today, we see racist appellations applied to certain alleged
ET groups – The Grays! The Reptilians! The Tall White Ones!
Must we go down this tired, dirty path again? Must we replay
the sordid history of human racism, prejudice, and xenophobia
as we begin our first steps towards the stars?
No.
We must not. We must restrain our lower fears and tame our own
demons – and look with the eye of truth at the cosmos around
us, and ask ourselves this: Who would benefit from such
fearsome portrayals of ET life? Where might such a shadowy
group wish to lead us? How much information – bandied about so
cavalierly as fact - may actually be sophisticated
counter-intelligence disinformation designed to sow the seeds
of hate and fear – thus justifying weapons in space.
The
usual suspects – those who thrive on enormous concentrated
wealth and power - would like to unite the world - but not in
peace. They wish to unite and control us not for that good
future that assuredly awaits humanity. Rather, they wish to
control through fear and war – a war between worlds – the
final master-play of power consolidation where all of humanity
may be stampeded into a unified opposition to some – maybe
only one - ET race. And by so doing, amass the ultimate global
control, through fear spreading like wildfire amongst the
people.
Dr.
Von Braun on his death-bed warned of such a plan. He warned us
that after the Cold War, there would be ‘rogue nations and
nations of concern’; and that this would be followed by global
terrorism; and that this would be followed by a threat from
space – the ultimate trump-card of fear, whereby the entirety
of humanity could be united to, as the movie ‘Independence
Day’ put it, “kick alien butt!”
There is no way to assess an ET agenda without first grasping
the covert human agenda. We cannot discern what is real and
what is Memorex – what is ET and what is pseudo-ET
disinformation, unless we penetrate the halls of smoke and
mirrors that is the vast shadow government’s propaganda
machine.
It
is not easy. It takes enormous patience, perseverance,
diligence and care.
But
it is worth it - for to do otherwise is to wittingly or
unwittingly make exo-politics an arm of the propaganda war
machine.
We
must do better than this. We must restrain our fears and
prejudices and avoid the dissemination of negative and
fear-inducing stereotypes, based on anecdotal tales and
counter-intelligence programs. We must investigate fully the
technological and psychological capabilities of those who are
behind human UFO secrecy - and learn to discern the false from
the real.
CSETI (The Center for the Study of
Extraterrestrial Intelligence -
www.CSETI.org) which is the parent
organization for The Disclosure Project (www.DisclosureProject.org)
has been sending expeditions around the world for 16 years to
make contact with ET peoples. We have never been harmed. We
have never been threatened. We have never been afraid.
Thousands of people over the course of hundreds of
expeditions, have interacted with these UFOs – and with the
beings on-board them.
Through all of this, we have only found ET people who want to
understand and help us. They are waiting for us to join them
in space - as a people at peace. Then and only then will we
find the arms of the Cosmos wide open, ready to embrace a
peaceful and enlightened humanity, which will then travel
freely among the stars.
We
are proposing that those concerned with a constructive, mature
approach to the emerging ET/Human relationship form a new
Council on Inter-Planetary Relations. As a council of
concerned citizens, let us explore how to best further a
peaceful relationship with these cosmic visitors. Will you
join us?
