White House responds to Petition on ET Disclosure

[calikid]

“The U.S. government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race. In addition, there is no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public's eye.”

Cover up? Or is it that PotUS doesn't need to know???

White House Response to the Disclosure Petition

Washington, DC - Sixty-four years after flying disks became a worldwide phenomenon, a formal position on this phenomenon has been issued in print by the executive branch of the United States government for the first time. On Friday, November 4 the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) responded to two petitions submitted to the We the People section of the White House website. One of these, the Disclosure Petition, was submitted by Paradigm Research Group. The White House response gave the administration's assessment of the assertion by a growing number of researchers and activists that flying disks and other related phenomena confirm an extraterrestrial, non-human intelligence engaging the human race. See: https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions#!/response/searching-et-no-evidence-yet and www.disclosurepetition.info

OSTP researcher Phil Larson wrote, "The fact is we have no credible evidence of extraterrestrial presence here on Earth." Unfortunately for the OSTP and the Obama administration, that assertion is false. Furthermore, given that approximately 50% of the American people are now convinced of an extraterrestrial presence and more than 80% believe the government is not telling the truth about the phenomenon, it is an embarrassment.

There are only four possible explanations for this statement from the OSTP:

1) It is a political lie. Whatever the executive branch personnel may know about extraterrestrial evidence, the administration cannot acknowledge any such awareness in order to protect the President's political prospects in the next election.

2) It is a national security lie. The administration cannot acknowledge any such awareness of the evidence as a matter of national security. Which is to say the people cannot handle such truths.

3) It demonstrates the present executive branch of the United States government, including a substantial collection of military, science and intelligence advisors, is completely unaware of the massive evidence for an extraterrestrial presence that has been accumulated over six decades by an extraordinary citizen science/truth movement. Which is to say the administration is both ignorant and incompetent.

4) The statement is correct and the aforementioned accumulation of evidence is just a sixty year, worldwide misunderstanding.

There are no other possible explanations, and in due course administration officials will have to defend their formal statement on one of these bases.

Paradigm Research Group invites the political media to give the evidentiary matrix behind the extraterrestrial reality a modest examination and consider challenging the Obama administration's position on what is easily the most important issue in the world today. Such an examination might include:

1) Reviewing quotes by persons of high rank and station over many decades. See: www.paradigmresearchgroup.org/QuotesPage.html

2) Reviewing a database of thousands of sightings by pilots in flight. This database is managed by NARCAP. See: www.narcap.org

3) Reviewing the following books:

UFOs and the National Security State - Vols. 1 and 2 (Dolan),
UFOs and Nukes (Hastings),
Witness to Roswell (Carey/Schmitt),
UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record (Kean),
Missing Times: News Media Complicity in the UFO Cover-up (Hansen),
Above Top Secret (Good),
Abduction: Human Encounters with Aliens (Mack),
Top Secret/Majic (Friedman).


4) Reviewing the following documentaries:

Out of the Blue (Fox/Coleman)
UFOs: 50 Years of Denial (Fox)
The Day Before Disclosure (Toftenes)



5) Reviewing the public statements of two astronaut legends: Col. Gordon Cooper and Dr. Edgar Mitchell. See: http://tinyurl.com/742xm4p and http://tinyurl.com/62az8q

6) Reviewing the government witness testimonies amassed by the Disclosure Project. See: www.disclosureproject.org/access/

The above represent but a small fraction of the evidence the White House now formally claims is either not credible or does not exist, and there is one more area of enquiry the political media might engage - one with an ironic aspect.

From early 1993 to late 1996 billionaire Laurance Rockefeller engaged the Clinton administration through the Office of Science and Technology Policy to convince President Clinton to release all files regarding the UFO/ET issue and end the truth embargo. Why is this relevant to the current administration? Those persons who at the time were either directly involved with or knew about what has come to be called the "Rockefeller Initiative" include: Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton (Secretary of State), John Podesta (Obama transition co-chair), Webster Hubbell, Leon Panetta (CIA Director/Secretary of Defense), Dr. John Gibbons - involved; Albert Gore, Bill Richardson (Governor of New Mexico) - knew.

None of these high level officials have ever spoken publicly about the Rockefeller Initiative or been asked a single question about the Initiative in public by the political media. Perhaps it is time for that to change.

There's an analogy I often use, that comes to mind.

Image a situation: A & B have a very heated argument in public, with many witnesses.
A is seen leaving the scene in a huff. Some minutes later, he buys a gun, which is confirmed by the owner of the shop where he bought it, and CCTV.
A is seen arriving in his car at B's house.
Neighbors hear shots, and subsequently see A dragging a rolled up carpet that seems excessively heavy to his car and drive off.
20 Minutes later, several witnesses see him stop on a bridge, throw something small - that looked like a gun - in the water at first, followed by the rolled up carpet.

If this was an official UFO investigation, the case would be solved in minutes:
- there is no body, therefore there is no murder or homicide, or any serious crime that should be investigated.
- A is entitled to buy a gun. If he loses it, that's his problem.
- We don't know where B is, but that does not make A a suspect of any crime in that regard.
- The real issue is that A may or may not have dumped some domestic waste illegally into a river, but witnesses are not always very reliable so there is insufficient proof in this case.
Next case!

I believe that there are two different scenarios here regarding the POTUS and disclosure:

- first is that there have been administrations who have either not been briefed into the "situation" or who have been given an abbreviated version of it. They really have nothing to disclose as they are truly ignorant of the Core Story and it's implications. I believe this to be the status of the current administration.

- second is that there are administrations who have been fully briefed into the situation and because of its implications concerning a disturbing message have no desire to commit what amounts to political suicide by being the administration in power when the announcement is made.

Either one of these scenarios results in a situation whereby we can not overcome the stagnated inertia of the politics in place.

However, all is not lost and this is where we can discuss our options to move forwards to full disclosure.

I've been keeping tabs on this, and signed the Disclosure Petition...

I think that the so--called "disclosure" will never come through this criminal government. There has to be some big adjustments in government and there are some indications that such changes may be imminent---and I do not mean the "election" of 2012. The ETs themselves will bring massive FULL disclosure when the time is ripe for it. Disclosure is much more than acknowledgement of the ET presence. It includes the full revelation of why the PTB have done absolutely nothing but lie to the people continually---about everything----for a very long time. Huge changes are afoot----and soon.
