I just watched the movie “Unacknowledged”, which is really about the cover-up. It is really quite impossible for me personally not to attach the CIA–some part of it at least–to this whole thing, and to connect all of that to the Deep State.
Perhaps comically, his more controversial claims in that book relate not to alien spacecraft, but to the infiltration of and subversion of the CIA by Communist agents back in the Cold War, and the CIA’s image of itself as a world unto itself, with survival and independence being their prime motivators. He claims that the KGB and the CIA were closer to one another than either was to their respective governments. He claims the CIA spied on him personally.
If you add to this the claims made by Stephen Greer, the conclusion is inescapable that we have a secret government, one which operates with no oversight and no rules, and which seems to have reverse engineered astonishing technology indistinguishable from that of the aliens.
This is a large claim, one which is hard to digest.
And I ponder how many people would have nervous breakdowns if and when actual aliens were presented to us. The Grays seem to have been piloting the Roswell craft (he says, incidentally, that our radars seem to mess them up somehow), but what if there actually are lizard people? What if Men in Black actually is a CIA sponsored PsyOp to mock the whole thing, while masking the reality?
How would your world change, if you saw actual aliens on TV, or perhaps even on a stage somewhere? How would our culture change? How would the world change?
These are big questions, obviously.
I think, as with most things, once the shock was over, most people would accommodate themselves to the idea, and I think on balance it would be inspiring, particularly if these alien beings were culturally/spiritually more advanced than us. The technology isn’t really important to me. One world is enough, if we learn to see.
Think about it. Think about how people deal with sudden traumatic deaths, say the death of a loved one in a car accident. What initially feels like a gut punch, slowly looses its sharp bite. And here, we are talking about not a loss, but potentially a huge gain.
I’m not of course sure what Trump has been told, nor do I have a good guess. I don’t know secret motivations might lie behind his formation of a Space Force. I can’t but wonder if the F-35 is intended to give us a publicly known craft which can chase the alien spacecraft.
There are oceans of ignorance in front of us. If you buy even a fraction of what is being claimed, then that is certain.
In the book, he has thus far claimed that quick leaps in a number of existing but primitive technologies were made because of the debris recovered from Roswell. Thus far it is night vision, and the solid state integrated circuit. I’m on the chapter on lasers, just starting.
But he also claims he briefed Bobby Kennedy on how the CIA was intentionally feeding the President Soviet originated disinformation, and that he played an influencing role on Kennedy’s decision to put a man on the moon. He claims the original Army plan was a manned base on the moon by 1965, but they lost the political turf war with NASA.
Everywhere you look around you, if you are alert, there are mysteries. Most of them are not hidden well, if at all, but we all have this brain feature which allows us to simply not see things we are not prepared emotionally to deal with.
I personally was speculating the other day that the (in my considered view) non-existent “threat” of global warming actually is comforting to many. Given all the disasters which are possible, it allows them to focus on merely one, and one which conforms to their existing biases against, in most cases, the modern world generally. AI is a threat. Nuclear War is a threat. Pandemics are a threat. Asteroids and possibly comets are a threat. Economic downturns and depressions and terrorism are threats. But if you focus on only one threat, you can forget the others. You are DOING something, and acting always calms people down.
So the whole Global Warming thing is not just useful for aspiring tyrants, but useful psychologically for otherwise normal but appropriately anxious people who otherwise feel like helpless spectators.
Largely, we ARE helpless spectators. It helps a lot to vote people into office who actually feel affection for the notions of political freedom and equality before the law–people like Donald Trump–but there are decisions being made in tall office towers, and tropical island retreats, and perhaps ski chalets somewhere, which we have no influence on.
Life has always been risky, and it has always ended the same way. We are lucky that we have the time and leisure to worry about abstract threats, versus the concrete ones of hunger, exposure, and threat of sudden death by murder or accidents in dangerous places.
Learning to be aware, but not freaking the fuck out, is a vital life skill. It is the only way to learn to see what is in front of you.
