Two whistleblowers, both formerly involved in secret research and development projects undertaken by US defense agencies, have independently verified their secret teleportation to US bases on Mars, and to meeting intelligent Martian extraterrestrial life. Their accounts are now available on the Internet, and can be seen below in this article.
One of the whistleblowers, Arthur Neumann, who until recently referred to himself as Henry Deacon for fear of retaliation, was formerly associated with a U.S. government agency,
On July 25, 2009, at the European Exopolitics Congress in Barcelona, Mr. Neumann publicly stated, “There is life on Mars. There are bases on Mars. I have been there.” The following day, Mr. Neumann participated in Futuretalk, a Project Camelot documentary interview, in which he provided details of his teleporting to a base on Mars and participating in a one-hour project meeting, which was also attended by representatives of an intelligent civilization that lives in cities under the surface of Mars.
The other whistleblower, lawyer Andrew D. Basiago, is a former child participant in a secret time travel project launched by the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). In a six-hour interview released August 31, 2009, Mr. Basiago “relates his experiences in DARPA’s Project Pegasus during the period 1969 to 1972, and describes probes to past and future events that he took via teleportation and chronovision during the early days of time-space exploration by the US government.
“He [Mr. Basiago] confirms that the United States has been teleporting individuals to Mars for decades and recounts the awe-inspiring and terrifying trips that he took to Mars in 1981 after he was tapped to go there because he had teleported as a child participant in Project Pegasus.”
Mr. Basiago has also publicly confirmed that in 1970, in the company of his late father, Raymond F. Basiago, an engineer for The Ralph M. Parsons Company who worked on classified aerospace projects, he met three Martian astronauts at the Curtiss-Wright Aeronautical Company facility in Wood Ridge, New Jersey while the Martians were there on a liaison mission to Earth and meeting with US defense-technical personnel.
Whistleblower Arthur Neumann and bases on Mars
Arthur Neumann’s verification of the existence of bases on Mars, and of having personally been to Mars, occurred at the end of Command Sgt. Major (USAF retired) Robert Dean’s presentation at the European Exopolitics Summit and can be seen beginning at 54 minutes into the presentation (above).
During his presentation, Robert Dean showed satellite images of an apparent city under the surface of Mars, as well as an apparent base on the surface of Mars.

The July 26, 2009 Futuretalk interview, during which Mr. Neumann spoke about the details of his teleportation to Mars for a one-hour project meeting on Mars attended by Martian humanoids, was conducted by Bill Ryan and Kerry Cassidy of Project Camelot, with the participation of Robert Dean and Alfred Lambremont Webre.

Whistleblower Andrew D. Basiago and the hidden history of the discovery of life on Mars
Dean & Project Camelot: Secret base on Mars
Mr. Basiago was recently featured in “A Conversation with Andrew D. Basiago,” a six-hour interview posted by Jessica Schab on YouTube.
In the 39-part interview, he relates his experiences in DARPA’s Project Pegasus as one of America’s early time-space explorers during the period 1969-72 and narrates the seven episodes over 40 years in which the CIA, in possession of a “quantum access” capability since 1967-68, briefed him about his destiny as a public figure who would one day be principally associated with the discovery of life on Mars.
Ms. Schab writes that in this “six-hour interview, American lawyer Andrew D. Basiago, 47, narrates the hidden history of his discovery of life on Mars in 2008 and reveals the fact that by 1968 the US intelligence community was already aware of aspects of his later Mars work.
“Andy tells the phenomenal story of seven briefings over 40 years in which he was shown evidence of his destiny involving the discovery of life on Mars, and explains how the emergence of time travel and this epochal future event were interlinked.
“According to Andy, by 1968, the CIA was already teleporting individuals to the past and future to retrieve artifacts there and bring them back, while propagating holograms of past and future events with devices called chronovisors to also gather intelligence.
“Incredibly, as a result of this quantum access, Andy was given a copy of his landmark paper The Discovery of Life on Mars in 1971 and asked to read and remember it, so that when, in 2008, he wrote it, it would contain as much data about Mars as possible!”
Public presentation of the discovery of life on Mars
Ms. Schab writes, “I first met Andy in July 2009 at ECETI’s Science, Spirit and World Transformation Conference near Mt. Adams, Washington, where we were both featured speakers.”
Mr. Basiago and Alfred Lambremont Webre co-presented at the ECETI conference on the discovery of life on Mars and its implications.
Ms. Schab continues, “During his lecture, Andy shared numerous photographic images evidencing his discovery of life on Mars, including many photos of humanoid beings, different animal species, carved statues and built structures on Mars that put him at the forefront of Mars research.
“Throughout the weekend, Andy lectured at his table to small groups of conference-goers, who came and sat in rapt attention as he shared stories about his experiences as a child in Project Pegasus, the secret US research program in which time travel was the focus.
“I know that, like me, everybody who took part in those impromptu seminars was certain that Andy is, as Bill Ryan of Project Camelot stated recently, the real deal -- a truth-teller with significant new information to share about the real Philadelphia Experiment.”

How to evaluate the significance of the Mars testimony of Arthur Neumann and Andrew D. Basiago
Arthur Neumann and Andrew D. Basiago are each intelligent, credible professionals with histories as former participants in top secret projects sponsored by US government agencies, including DARPA. Their separate and independent revelations that each has secretly teleported to bases on Mars provide strong corroborative evidence for the existence of a permanent teleportation mechanism linking Earth and Mars, and for the existence of functioning bases of the US government on Mars.
According to Mr. Basiago, the US government has had a fully operational teleportation capability since 1967-68, and by 1969-70, was already training a cadre of gifted and talented American schoolchildren, including himself, to become America’s first generation of “chrononauts” or time-space explorers.
This training, he said, culminated in 1981, when, as a 19-year-old, he teleported to Mars, first by himself after being prepared for the trip by CIA officer Courtney M. Hunt, and then a second time in the company of Hunt. Both trips, Mr. Basiago said, were made via a “jump room” located at a CIA facility in El Segundo, CA. The apparent purpose of the trips to Mars was to familiarize him with Mars because the CIA knew of his destiny as the discoverer of life on Mars and deemed it important that he visit Mars and experience it first-hand.
Mr. Basiago’s involvement in US time-space research as a child, as well as Courtney M. Hunt’s identity as a CIA officer, have been confirmed by Dr. Jean Maria Arrigo, an ethicist who works closely with US military and intelligence agencies, and by US Army Captain Ernest Garcia, whose storied career in US intelligence included both serving as a guard on the Dead Sea Scroll expeditions of Israeli archaeologist Yigal Yadin and as the Army security attaché to DARPA’s Project Pegasus.
Arthur Neumann has stated that he teleported to Mars in order to participate in an project meeting there at which Martian extraterrestrials were present. Mr. Basiago has publicly stated that he and his father briefly met three Martian astronauts at a US defense contractor location while the Martians were there on a liaison visit from Mars.
These independent whistleblower statements, in turn, provide a threshold of corroborative evidence that an intelligent civilization lives under the surface of Mars, and that this civilization is involved in on-going secret liaison programs with agencies of the US government, including the CIA.
There were seven times in his life when the CIA informed Mr. Basiago about some aspect of his future Mars work.
Five of the episodes were informational briefings in which aspects of his future landmark paper The Discovery of Life on Mars (2008), establishing the existence of life forms on the ecologically fragile surface of Mars, were revealed to him.
The other two episodes – the meeting with the Martian astronauts at Curtiss-Wright in 1970 and his two trips to Mars in 1981 – were practical exercises in which Mr. Basiago’s future role in making public the existence of a strategic relationship between the US government and the Martian civilization seems to have been the purpose.
The seven briefings apparently resulted from a finding by the CIA, made some time around 1967-68, that Mr. Basiago’s future Mars writings were of international security significance. According to Basiago, when the CIA asked him to teleport to Mars in 1981, he was told that he had to go to Mars but not told why he had to go.
Mr. Basiago told the Examiner:
“When I asked Courtney M. Hunt why I had to teleport to Mars, he said, ‘Because the survival of the human race depends on it.’ At this point, we can only guess at what my CIA contact knew. I wish I knew.
“Clearly, I was qualified to teleport to Mars because I had teleported back and forth between New Jersey and New Mexico as one of the children attached to Project Pegasus. But the broader reason why I had to teleport to Mars remains a mystery.
“Maybe it involved the normalization of relations between Earth and Mars pertaining to an extraterrestrial defense posture that was then being established. Maybe it was something as basic as the fact that they knew that my discovery of life on Mars would inspire the next generation of Americans to become astronauts and space scientists.
“All I know is that it was a journey to Mars that the CIA had determined that I absolutely had to make and that I could not decline. Today, I’m glad that I went to Mars, because it gave me an understanding of what Mars is like, and this understanding informs the works of natural history that I am currently writing about life on Mars.”
Mr. Basiago’s paper heralding his discovery of life forms on Mars, together with approximately 40 other research monographs that he has written proving that Mars is an inhabited planet, can be accessed at www.exopolitics.com by clicking here.

Andrew D. Basiago is the founder and president of the Mars Anomaly Research Society (MARS), which is working for public recognition of the existence of life on Mars and a new international law and policy regime pertaining to it.
Lennon was famous throughout the world for his music and peace activism. Lesser known to many was his interest in the existence of extraterrestrial life and its visitations to earth. Lennon saw a UFO “flying saucer” outside the rooftop deck of his apartment in New York City August 23, 1974.
The late and phenomenal musical genius Michael Jackson also had a passionate interest in extraterrestrial life and a desire to someday do his famous ‘moonwalk’ on the moon. An entire chapter of Michael Luckman’s book “Alien Rock: The Rock ‘N’ Roll Extraterrestrial Connection” is dedicated to Michael Jackson. If Jackson were to be alive at the time of the moon bombing there’s no doubt it would have been greatly disturbing to him.
It’s not just Exopolitics experts like Webre, and deceased celebrity musicians that talked about extraterrestrial life. According to George Filer, during the Apollo landing, Neil Armstrong, the “first man on the moon” said, "They're here. They are right over there and look at the size of those ships. And, it is obvious they don't like us being here". Dr. Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man to walk on the moon, has been very vocal about ending the government cover-up of UFOs and extraterrestrial civilizations.
The moon bombing would result in a five-mile wide crater that could engulf most of Washington, D.C. ‘As you sow, so shall you reap’. If nothing else, maybe NASA will dig their own grave on the moon. Then their free reign and squandering of taxpayer money amidst allegations of fraud and waste will come to an end far away from intelligent, civilized society.
As more comes to light about the moon bombing, more questions arise as to the true purpose of such a destructive act. Some ask if the U.S. is declaring war on extraterrestrials to provoke a pre-emptive attack that will bolster sales in the global weapons industry. Or maybe the idea is about the U.S. going to ridiculous and expensive extremes to cover-up evidence that extraterrestrial intelligent life has been on the moon and has visited earth. Others suggest that illiegal secret projects related to extraterrestrial civilizations use up a big chunk of the estimated “$2.3 trillion in expenditures that can’t be accounted for” as previously mentioned by former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
Time will tell but hopefully NASA will come to its senses before it's too late. The grassroots Denver ballot initiative to create and Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission is attempting to address issues like this from a local perspective but will not be on the ballot for a vote before the moon bombing.
Summary: Part II of a conversation with Barbara Hand Clow, author of The Mayan Code: Time Acceleration and Awakening the World Mind, on the relationship of the quadrant in the time acceleration matrix of the Mayan Calendar known as the Sixth Day of the Galactic Underworld (Nov. 13, 2008 - Nov. 7, 2009). How Exopolitics - the science of relations between our human civilization and other intelligent civilizations in the Universe - will be the paradigm of the Sixth Day, including possible open contact by our civilization with an ET civilization, ending a planeary quarantine since a solar system, Mars and Earth cataclysm of 9500 BC. How the discovery of intelligent Life on Mars in NASA photos by Andrew D. Basiago, formally announced Dec. 28, 2008 by the Mars Anomaly Research Society (MARS) may a part of this Sixth Day paradigm.

In traditional Mediation, mediator neutrality is the action of the mediator to remain neutral which means to not issue or imply judgment. A mediator seeks understanding rather than development of an opinion which results in judgment. This ability to be and remain neutral is incredibly important for success in traditional mediation. Rachel Fishman Green, Esq., describes the benefits of neutrality in the following way, “If I really understand how you are feeling, what this experience has done to you, what this means for you, the challenges that you are facing as you try to restructure your life – then I can help (others) understand these things. And I can also make sure that (what) we put together takes care of you and your needs.”
The same is applicable to Exopolitical Mediation. The participant or group and the inter-lying public which the Exopolitical Mediator works with has needs, hopes, and expectations just as participants in traditional mediation do. The human equation is no different in this respect and does indeed demand a voice to be heard and received seriously. The act of experiencing mediation is very powerful and can facilitate not only understanding but also changes to peoples goals and outlooks. This lays a tremendous burden of responsibility upon the Mediator to maintain a position of holistic caring service which is created when a mediator maintains neutrality.
Every individual experiences life from a perspective. That perspective will be a consequence of their knowledge, their experiences, their health, and their maturity. No other person is more appropriate to speak about their lives or their needs than themselves. In the Contact Paradigm the ability to communicate and be treated with dignity and respect is severely hampered by many layers of confusion, fears, illegitimate ridicule, inadequate knowledge and experience as well as the human tendency to compete or dominate. Mediation gives the opportunity for all voices to approach the human collective consciousness and be heard fairly in our reality.
An Exopolitical Mediator in remaining neutral does not judge and does their best to listen to everything that a participant or group has to say. The Mediator will ask questions to garner the best understanding of the information that he/she can. And the Mediator will assist in brainstorming to figure out how best to achieve a person's or group's needs. An Exopolitical Mediator will use all of the tools at their disposal to make sure that each party involved in the mediation HEARS the other.
One of the valuable skills a Mediator can apply is evaluating the communication of a participant to encourage improvements or additions which help prevent miscommunication. In Exopolitics the distance between the participant and the public audience, if that is the end recipient or alternate party in the mediation, can issue misconceptions or misconstrue the information or intents involved. The Mediator works to alleviate this known difficulty through experience & scope of paradigm awareness. Here again mediator neutrality comes into play, allowing the Mediator great flexibility of perception themselves.
A neutral mediator helps to improve communication by helping all parties or participants involved to understand where the other(s) are coming from. No party involved has to agree with the other(s) but it helps to understand why you disagree or where or why differences exist.
Mediators often feel great empathy for the participants. They not only perceive needs but they also perceive the emotions, challenges, and strength of personal investment involved in the participant's experiences, information, and existential position. The Mediator's job is to utilize this depth of their own perception to help all parties increase their understanding of each other and then to facilitate the best way for them to communicate or interact effectively. His or her greatest challenge is to understand everyone involved.
And the ultimate goal is the honest and honorable exchange of Truth.
Three in Four (74 percent) Claim They Are At Least Somewhat Psychologically Prepared For an Official Government Announcement Regarding the Discovery of Intelligent Extraterrestrial Life
Clearly, a majority of Americans are ready for the discovery of extraterrestrial life, with 42 percent saying they are "very prepared" and 32 percent saying they are "somewhat prepared." Psychological preparedness is particularly common among the following demographic groups:
Males (83%)
18-to-64-year-olds (79%)
Those with household incomes of $50,000 or more (85%)
Residents of the West (82%)
Those with Internet access at home (82%)
Americans who believe in extraterrestrial phenomena and who claim to have had, or know someone who had, a Close Encounter of their own are also significantly more likely to say they are psychologically prepared for the discovery of intelligent life.
Announcement of Extraterrestrial Life Would Not Prompt a Religious Crisis
Very few Americans say that an official government announcement about the discovery of intelligent extraterrestrial life would cause them to question their religious beliefs. A full 88 percent say that such an announcement would have no impact on their religious beliefs.
As age increases, so does the likelihood that religious beliefs will not be changed by the discovery of extraterrestrial life. Those 50 years of age and over are significantly more likely than 18-to-24-year-olds to claim that such a discovery would have no impact on their beliefs at all.
Those who say that they are "very psychologically prepared" for the discovery of extraterrestrial life are more inclined to believe that their religious beliefs will not be affected by such a discovery. However, the reverse is true of those who are "very" interested in encountering an extraterrestrial themselves — they are less likely to state that their religious beliefs would not be changed by the discovery of intelligent life.
Many Would Like to Meet Extraterrestrial Life Here on Earth When it comes to encountering extraterrestrial life forms themselves, more than half (52%) of Americans say they would be very or somewhat interested. Interest is especially strong among males and among 18-24 year olds as opposed to those 50 and older.
Not surprisingly, believers of extraterrestrial phenomena and those with personal experiences relating to such phenomena are more inclined to take an interest in meeting intelligent life forms themselves. Interest is also higher among Americans who believe the U.S. government does not share enough information with the public and does not tell us everything it knows about extraterrestrial life and UFOs.
Percentage of Respondents Who Were "Very/Somewhat Interested" in Meeting Intelligent Extraterrestrial Life, Among Those Who…
Believe in intelligent life: 64%
Believe in abductions: 83%
Have had, or know someone who had, a Close Encounter: 79%
Feel they are "very psychologically prepared" for the discovery of extraterrestrial life: 67%
Think the government does not share enough information with the public: 58%
Believe the government does not tell us everything it knows about extraterrestrial life and UFOs: 58%
U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont) has moved forward with his truth and reconciliation commission to investigate abuses during the Bush-Cheney Administration, by extending these abuses in a public petition letter to include “the use of torture, warrantless wiretapping, extraordinary rendition, and executive override of laws”. By including the “executive override of law”, Leahy has potentially opened up in the scope of the truth and reconciliation to crimes against and abuses against the U.S. constitution by secret treaties between the executive branch of the U.S. government and specific extraterrestrial civilizations. Ironically, a truth and reconciliation commission on ET-treaty crimes and ET-derived technologies has been long sought after by exopolitical activists, whistleblowers, and if we are to believe long-time ET contactees like Jim Sparks, by the treaty-signing extraterrestrial civilizations themselves. Senator Leahy and his fellow members of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee may yet not be conscious of these ramifications because public discourse about extraterrestrials has been prohibited in the U.S. since the 1953 CIA Robertson Panel, which decreed that mainstream media coverage of extraterrestrials issue include ridicule and disparagement.
Truth & reconciliation is a microcosm of the extraterrestrial issue
Exopolitics is the science of relations between our human civilization and other intelligent civilizations in the universe, and the truth-reconciliation issue is a microcosm of exopolitical relations.
The truth amnesty issue raised by Sen. Leahy’s call has implications among extraterrestrial civilizations who have been under secret treaty with the U.S. government and who by some reports want disclosure; among whistleblowers who are trying to bring abuses and crimes as well as ET-derived technologies to the public and who need the legal amnesty of a truth and reconciliation committee to “go public” and testify; among exopolitical activists who are making public the results of their research in a way that does not make them legally liable; and among major media (for example Washington Post) reporters who are still following 1953 Robertson Panel rules, and attacking the exopolitical activists in order to keep ET-related crimes and abuses, and benefits of the ET-derived technology secret, discourage truth amnesty, and forestall a change away from petroleum and nuclear energy sources.
Exopolitical activists call for ET truth amnesty at National Press Club in 2007
This reporter was part a National Press Club (Washington, DC) press conference sponsored by the X-Conference in September 2007, which included a call for a truth & reconciliation commission regarding ET-related crimes and ET-derived technologies.
My statement at the press conference addressed the issues raised by Sen. Patrick Leahy’s call for a Bush Truth & Reconciliation Commission: “Truth-Amnesty Disclosure process is a promising avenue for Exopolitics because the embargo on the Extraterrestrial presence is based upon U.S. military-intelligence wanting to keep its top secret human-Extraterrestrial liaison programs sequestered from public scrutiny.”
“The motive of U.S. military-intelligence agencies has been to maintain a monopoly on advanced energy technology reportedly transferred and re-engineered for human use,” Webre said. “This advanced technology would virtually revolutionize the transport of people and goods on this planet, and would rejuvenate the biosphere.”
“As part of maintaining this secret sequestration, numerous constitutional and legal structures have been violated, and the constitutional decision-makers – the US President, the Congress, and the Courts as adjudicators, have been kept from knowledge of these secret liaison programs, as has the Fourth Estate – the Press - and our Scientific and Educational formal knowledge establishment,” Webre affirmed. “A well-funded U.S. military-intelligence disinformation campaign has been put into place to virtually destroy any knowledge about Universe society and advanced extraterrestrial sciences,” Webre said.
“Individual employees and officers within the national security state have over the course of six decades committed what would amount to a Tsunami of criminal acts under the U.S. Constitution and the U.S. criminal code against the U.S. government, the civilian population, and untold properties and enterprises”, Webre said. “I would argue that these acts rise to the level of war crimes under the Rome Statute of the International Court: Crimes Against Humanity; Aggressive War; Genocide; and War Crimes”, Webre stated. “That the acts were done in the course of a military-intelligence program of psychological warfare to protect secret human-Extraterrestrial liaison programs may or may not be a valid defense to criminal prosecution, depending on individual circumstances.”
“Disclosure must address this Gordian Knot – that individuals within the national security state who have knowledge of secret Extraterrestrial-human liaison programs, and of advanced energy technologies may want to disclose these, and cannot come forward for fear of criminal prosecution. Otherwise, we will continue to seek Disclosure as we have done in the past, with the same results, “ Webre stated.
Truth-amnesty & the forces for and against ET disclosure
There are powerful forces addressing ET truth-amnesty which now need to catalyze public support in the political system. These include the exopolitical activists, and members of the public who now beleive the government is hiding the ET presence (over 70%), extraterrestrial civilizations who are part of the secret treaties and want disclosure, whistleblowers who are waiting for legal amnesty to go public with their testimony of crimes and abuses, as well as the benefits of ET-derived technology. There are also retrograde forces in the mainstream media and in military-intelligence, who still follow the 1953 Robertson Panel rules and are determined to “spike” any initiative for ET-related truth amnesty.
On March 3, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman, Senator Patrick Leahy, held a hearing on creating a nonpartisan "commission of inquiry" to investigate wrongdoing during the eight years of the Bush administration. The proposed “Truth Commission” focuses on a number of areas since 9-11 where the Bush administration broke the law in the "war against terrorism". According to a statement released by Leahy, “Nothing has done more to damage America’s place in the world than the revelation that this Nation stretched the law and the bounds of executive power to authorize torture and cruel treatment.” Six expert witnesses spoke at the hearing on behalf of or against Leahy’s proposed Truth Commission which he believes will help restore America’s “moral leadership.” Leahy’s proposal needs to be expanded to investigate all wrong doing in the Bush administration. A Truth Commission with a broad mandate can expose many areas in addition to those pointed out by Leahy where laws were violated in classified programs. Getting witnesses to emerge to reveal these violations has the potential to expose many secrets, including unanswered questions about 9-11 and the facts behind the UFO phenomenon.
Leahy’s proposal is a compromise between those wanting Attorney General Eric Holder to investigate wrong doing during the Bush administration, and those seeking, in the words of Leahy, to “obstruct and delay” such an investigation. Leahy further elaborated on the merits of his “middle ground” position:
Over the last month, I have suggested a middle ground to get to the truth of what went on during the last several years, in a way that invites cooperation. I believe that that might best be accomplished though a nonpartisan commission of inquiry…. Such a commission of inquiry would shed light on what mistakes were made so that we can learn from these errors and not repeat them.”
If a Truth Commission goes ahead, then former Bush administration officials are given amnesty to testify about all they knew. According to Leahy:
People with first-hand knowledge would be invited to come forward and share their experiences and insight, not for purposes of constructing criminal indictments, but to assemble the facts. If needed, such a process could involve subpoena powers, and even authority to obtain immunity to secure information, in order to get to the whole truth. Of course, this avenue would be pursued in consultation with the Justice Department and would not rule out prosecution for perjury."
A Truth Commission will encourage many former officials, in exchange for amnesty, to testify about all they know and did. Many illegal activities can be revealed that occurred in classified programs that provide cover for those authorizing such activities. The idea of restricting a Truth Commission solely to the Bush administration’s policies in dealing with detained prisoners, however, should be dismissed. A much broader mandate is needed.
Truth and Consequences Panel - Senate Judiciary Committee - March 4, 2009
While a Truth Commission will allow the truth to emerge, it also wrong doers an escape strategy from potential prosecution. This will upset some since the historical results of Truth Commissions have been mixed. Critics of Leahy’s Truth Commission view it as unnecessary since the Department of Justice has all the power it needs to conduct an investigation and to prosecute wrong doers. When Leahy first proposed his idea of a Truth Commission at Georgetown University in Feb 9, 2009, one of the most trenchant criticisms came from George Washington University Law School Professor, Jonathan Turley. Turley said the proposed Truth Commission is a “shameful” effort to “block the investigation” of “war crimes” by the Bush administration.
Turley and other "Truth Commission" critics overlook the high standards of evidence needed to successfully prosecute criminal cases. For example, the criminal investigation into the leaking of covert CIA officer Valerie Plame's name lasted more than three years (December 2003 - March 2007) and resulted in the conviction of a single person many regard as a scapegoat - Lewis “Scooter” Libby. More senior officials responsible for authorizing Valerie Plame’s name for political purposes were never prosecuted since documentary evidence was hidden and/or destroyed. A Truth Commission would be more likely to have the truth emerge on Bush administration policies since it would not be burdened by the high evidentiary standards needed for criminal prosecution.
If Leahy’s Truth Commission goes ahead with a broader mandate to explore all wrong doing in the Bush administration, then truth will emerge about more issues rather than soley the treatment of terrorism detainees. Three months after President Bush began office on January 20, 2001, a Press Conference was held at the National Press Club in Washington DC., concerning UFOs. Twenty two witnesses came forward on May 9, 2001, to reveal evidence that UFOs are intelligently guided vehicles of possible extraterrestrial origin, and governments are illegally suppressing the release of this information. Four months later, the world was absorbed by events on September 11, and interest in the May 9 UFO Press Conference quickly waned. There has been relatively little interest in a possible relationship between 9-11 and UFO secrets revealed at the May 9, 2001 Press Conference. A Truth Commission will do much to release the secrets behind unanswered questions concerning 9-11 and the truth behind the UFO phenomenon.
First, a disclaimer: I’m a peace person and my husband, Jim, is a UFO enthusiast. You might call that a mixed marriage, but you’d be wrong. In fact, the topic at the next meeting of the Arizona Department of Peace Campaign will be The Phoenix Lights and Peace.
Surprised? Most people think UFO hunters are looking for little green men to capture and study, like zoo animals or lab specimens. But if intelligent beings have conquered long-distance space flight, don’t they deserve respect, as well as the kindness even the least creatures on our planet deserve? The nascent discipline of exopolitics involves not only how much the government knows about this issue, but how to establish peaceful relations with an alien race when contact is made.
I jumped into the discussion a couple of years ago when I wrote that we have no business leaving this planet when we don’t yet know how to behave right here at home. This column became the last section of my book, The World I Imagine: A creative manual for ending poverty and building peace.
Obviously, any discussion of the Phoenix Lights should be very interesting. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the AZ DOP Campaign meeting begins at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 3, in the Tekakwitha room, in the back of the campus at The CASA, Franciscan Renewal Center, 5802 East Lincoln Drive, Scottsdale, AZ 85253.
The speaker will be Dr. Lynne Kitei, M.D., a medical doctor, author, and director of the award-winning documentary "The Phoenix Lights."
On March 13, 1997, thousands of witnesses in Arizona saw an enormous craft in the night sky. What was it? Where did it come from? What did former Governor Fife Symington see? What does former astronaut and moon walker Dr. Edgar Mitchell believe? Dr. Lynne has been investigating this incident with top experts in research, academia, government, military.
If you miss this meeting, you can catch "The Phoenix Lights" on March 15 at Harkins Shea Theatre, 7354 East Shea Boulevard (east of Scottsdale Road), Scottsdale. There will be three showings of the documentary at 1:00 p.m., 4:00 p.m., and 7:00 p.m. Dr. Lynne will speak at each showing.
You might also want to watch the short video on this page of John Podesta, President Obama's Transition Team Co-Chair and President Clinton's Chief of Staff, speaking about the need for more openness on data the government has on UFOs. Jim and I couldn’t agree more.
Dr. Michael E. Salla, PhD, founder of the Exopolitics Institute, along with members such as Jeff Peckman and others in the exopolitics movement are utilizing Examiner.com as a means to publish information on the web in support of the exopolitical agenda. They are, following in the ideological footsteps of Steven Bassett, actively attempting to propagate the meme that the Obama administration will be the one to finally revoke what Basset calls the 'truth embargo' and formally disclose the existence of ET operating in Earth's biosphere.
Seasoned observers of the UFO/ET phenomenon and the political landscape in America wonder whether or not the exopolitical movement is sufficiently grounded in terrestrial political reality to be conducting such a program with any hope of success. Given the number and magnitude of the crises facing Barack Obama and his administration, the last thing it needs is association with an issue that opens them to ridicule. The Republicans are already resorting to politics as usual, broadly labeling the stimulus package with the catch all denigration of "wasteful government spending". It would be counter productive, conventional wisdom has it, for the administration to even bring up the subject of UFO's, much less endorse it. Henceforth, any idea presented by the administration would somehow be rhetorically and dismissively linked to memes of 'little green men' and 'UFO conspiracy theorists'.
Indeed, the exopolitical advocates might pause to consider whether the fusillade of news stories linking Obama and UFO disclosure are making it easier or harder for Obama or his administration to make a move in the direction they are encouraging.
Exopolitical advocates counter with the argument that it is precisely because of the unprecedented nature and scope of the issues facing the nation and the planet that the time is ripe for a departure from existing public UFO policy. The presumed benefits of advance energy generation technologies available in a technological exchange with diplomatically recognized ET races would solve the intractable problem of peak oil and avoid a malthusian correction. The situation is so dire, they argue, that only radical and novel political calculus will resolve the factors to a term satisfying to the future of the nation.
Whether or not recognizing ET would result in free energy remains to be seen. Certainly it's difficult for a President to endorse a phenomenon where evidence is so elusive and 'proof' so difficult to arrive at in minds entrenched in a paradigm that has to ask 'are we alone?'.
More importantly, the faction of society that does know of ET existence has a huge vested interest in the status remaining quo--the multinational energy, food and media conglomerates are based on a world economy driven by oil revenue.
What conventional wisdom does not take into account is the emerging impact of the internet as a many-to-many, two way medium, an unprecedented development in communications history. Books, movies, television and political speeches are one-to-many broadcast style mediums allowing mass communications with varying degrees of speed and scope, but only in one direction, from the speaker to the audience. Telegraph, telephone, and i-chat are bidirectional, interactive mediums that allow a dynamic, interactive exchange of ideas, but are limited to two or three individuals.
Only very recently has the true power of the internet emerged as a revolutionary medium that incorporates both widespread, instantaneous broadcast and dynamic, two way idea exchange. This comprehensive universality of medium—and its implications, both social and political—were first fully identified by incisive Internet thinker and author Clay Shirky in his book Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations'. In it, Shirky examines how novel use of the existing technology, specifically the inclusion of several names on the CC field of an email, leads to the ad-hoc formation of self-defining operating groups. Indeed, it is that exact mechanism that fostered the development of the exopolitics news advocacy group, which formed as a result of Peckman's communications on the Exopolitics mailing list.
Shirky's example of collective action resulting from the insanely easy group forming ability of Web 2.0 is a story of political action in Belarus. In 2006 a flashmob assembled in October Square Minsk for the activity of eating ice cream. This would be innocuous enough were it not for the fact that it is illegal to act in concert in October Square—a political mechanism intended to quell dissent. The flashmob concept was reengineered from quirky ad-hoc street theater into quirky ad-hoc political protest. As Shirky puts it, "Nothing says dictatorship like arresting people for eating ice cream."
When you stop to consider that substantially more people believe the government is not telling everything it knows about ET/UFO activity or believe that there is life operating beyond earth than voted for Obama in the first place, it becomes clear that there may not be a political downside to disclosure for the administration—not from a widespread self-informed public, at least. And remember that this is an administration who won what once seemed like an impossible election victory in no small part through its concerted and savvy use of Web 2.0 technology. Online Media Daily stated that Obama was the "first occupant of the White House to have won a presidential election on the Web."
While many politicians are just getting up to speed on the concept of having a website and running a browser, the vast, immediate and personal power of social networking is changing the nature of modern social reality.
Facebook is the killer app for disclosure advocacy. If a Facebook enabled constituancy can elect a President, it can enable disclosure. Social networking applications, from MySpace down to Twitter seem trivial at first glance to media observers used to the booming power of a newspaper press running at full tilt or the constant and pervasive visual dynamics of a television broadcast network. But social networking applications are what the military would characterize as a 'force multiplier', magnifying the effect of the ideas Salla, Peckman and others present and turning them into instant memes.
What remains to be seen is if the exopolitical advocates can persuasively make the case to the American technoliterati that ending UFO secrecy, denial and ridicule is in the the collective best interest of those who know how to twitter. If so, and if the novel mechanisms Shirky illustrates evolve to address ET denial, it could dramatically alter the political calculus the administration would use when contemplating the most paradigm changing policy shift since the country renounced slavery.
If large numbers of average Americans, fed up with the cost of gas, pollution, environmental damage, the lies, secrecy and denial were to begin to flashmob the local capital building as a result of spontaneously generated citizen advocacy, acknowledging the existence of ET would eventually become a mere formality for the administration.
And something like that is what it would take, conventional wisdom has it, for the Obama adminstration to take such a dramatic step forward in public UFO policy.
If they do, then the world could proceed to the next logical question:
On Friday morning, Leon Panetta was sworn in as the new Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. This was after the U.S. Senate, the night before, confirmed Panetta as the new Director of the Central Intelligence Agency on a voice vote. A day earlier, on Wednesday, the Senate Intelligence Committee approved him without dissent. At 70, Panetta becomes the oldest man ever to take charge of the CIA. In his first message to CIA employees, he said: "Throughout my 40-year career in government, I have made it a point to speak honestly to my colleagues, my coworkers, my constituents, and my president. I hope that we can speak honestly to each other and to those we serve."
Panetta achieved prominence as President Clinton’s Chief of Staff (1994-1997). He is a veteran political insider and his supporters hope he can rebuild morale in the CIA which was badly tarnished by faulty intelligence assessments that led to the Iraq war.Significantly, Panetta is close to John Podesta who served as Panetta’s deputy during the Clinton Administration. Podesta eventually succeeded Panetta as Clinton’s Chief of Staff from 1998-2001. Podesta served as co-chair of Obama’s transition team, and the selection of Panetta reflected Podesta’s influence.
Podesta has been an outspoken advocate of increased declassification of government documents. Both Panetta and Podesta were in key positions to support President Clinton’s Executive Order 12958 passed on April 17 1995. EO 12958 made it easier to declassify national security information that had been unnecessarily classified for decades. Podesta's influence was more recently seen in Obama's January 21 Presidential Memoranda on Open Government and Transparency, and Freedom of Information Act.
During the Clinton administration, Podesta was open about his interest in possible X-Files hidden in different government agencies as depicted in the hit television series. In fact, a video of a Clinton administration X-Files party is soon to be released under the Freedom of Information Act according to a Canadian UFO researcher. The X-Files was a term that could be traced to the FBI’s historic efforts to get to the bottom of the UFO phenomenon. These files were often categorized under "Flying Discs: Security Matter-X".This led to Podesta's support for declassification of many national security files, especially those concerning UFOs. On October 22, 2002, Podesta made a statement at the National Press Club concerning the legality of UFO information that has not been released to the public on national security grounds. He said: "I think it's time to open the books on questions that have remained in the dark on the question of government investigations of UFOs.”
Interest in finding about UFOs in the Clinton administration wasn’t just limited to Podesta. Webster Hubbell was a personal friend of President Clinton who had appointed him as associate attorney general of the Justice Department. In his autobiography, Hubbell wrote: "Clinton had said, 'If I put you over at Justice I want you to find the answers to two questions for me. One, who killed JFK? And two, are there UFOs?'... Clinton was dead serious. I had looked into both, but wasn't satisfied with the answers I was getting."
Bill Clinton’s interest in finding the truth of UFOs very likely influenced his choice of the last Intelligence Community outsider, who like Panetta, was asked to head the CIA. Former CIA Director James Woolsey was very interested in finding out about any UFO information secretly kept at the CIA. In fact, Woolsey was given an informal ‘briefing’ by Dr Stephen Greer in 1993 who told him what civilian researchers had discovered about UFOs. Woolsey then ordered the CIA to prepare a report on all its information about UFOs. Woolsey was part of a hushed up effort by the Clinton administration to find the truth about UFOs. His failure to force the CIA to give the Clinton administration access to its X-Files, is possibly why Woolsey eventually became estranged from President Clinton and rarely got to meet him.

The initial nominations of Panetta as CIA Director and Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State first signalled that the Obama administration was also interested in the declassification of X-Files from different government agencies. John Podesta was a key figure in the selection of Panetta and Clinton by Obama, and appears to be playing a similar role to what he played in the Clinton administration in encouraging the declassification of X-Files. The subsequent confirmation of Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State meant that a key Clinton era figure involved in an earlier effort to release government X-Files would once again be in a position to seek declassification of UFO information. Panetta's February 12 Senate confirmation now adds a powerful new element in what increasingly appears to be a coordinated effort by former Clinton era figures to steer the Obama administration towards locating and declassifying UFO files. Panetta is now in a position to finally finish what the Clintons had first attempted and pressure the CIA to release its deepest held secrets – X-Files concerning UFOs and extraterestrial life.
16:09 GMT, February 8, 2009 Nearly 300 reports of possible UFO incidents from 2008 showing the date, time, location and a brief description of each sighting have been published on the UK MOD's website this week.
Among the incidents reported were 30 UFOs seen in February 2008 in West Yorkshire, a triangular craft with lights on each corner hovering at aircraft-height above Slough, and a fast-moving green object seen in May above the M6 motorway in the West Midlands!
The MOD receives a large number of requests every year for information relating to UFOs, and therefore introduced a system to meet this demand, releasing the first files to the public in May 2008.
Since then further dossiers have been released relating to reports of sightings over recent years.
Further incidents in the latest report relating to 2008 include the following description from Tonbridge in Kent: "An object was flying around in circles at aeroplane level and sounded like an industrial train. There was a strange flashing on the object."
From Doncaster, South Yorkshire: "A metallic, capsule-shaped object. There was no sound. The object was moving from South East to North West, and was going quite fast and didn't slow down at any point."
And opposite the Houses of Parliament in London the following incident was reported: "There was a craft that had green, red and white lights. It was still and static in the sky. Was seen for about an hour-and-a-half."
On New Year's Eve at the end of 2008 an Essex Police Officer reported: "A bright orange/yellow light in the sky. Quite large, 1,500-2,000ft [457-609m] up. Moved very slowly in a half-circle then stopped over the water between Brightlingsea & East Mersea. Shot straight up and disappeared very fast."
And in Bristol: "A big alien craft landed on the top of the witness's house. The craft then flew off over Bristol."
Reports of UFOs are examined by the Ministry of Defence solely to establish whether UK airspace may have been compromised by hostile or unauthorised military activity.
If required, sighting reports are examined with the assistance of the Department's air defence experts. Unless there is evidence of a potential threat, no further work is undertaken to identify the nature of each sighting reported.
The Ministry of Defence has no other interest or role regarding UFO matters and does not consider questions regarding the existence or otherwise of extraterrestrial life-forms.
In January 2006, the Associated Press reported that “Exopolitics” was nominated for 2005 Word of the Year. “Exopolitics” was coined in Canada.
“Exopolitics” gave a name to what adult Americans had reported to pollsters at Ropers several years earlier in 2002: that American public opinion was in agreement with the existence of intelligent life on other planets.
In fact, the 2002 Roper poll on American beliefs and personal experiences on intelligent life on other planets, using rigorous scientific polling methods, found that about half (48%) of U.S. adults believe that intelligent life from other planets or dimensions is now visiting Earth, and that two-thirds (67%) of U.S. adults believe in the existence of intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe.
The Roper poll also found that 72% of U.S. Adults believe the U.S. government is not telling all it knows about space craft or “unidentified flying objects” visiting Earth. Fully 14% of Americans say they have had a close encounter with a space craft or “unidentified flying object.”
Two percent of Americans told Roper that they have had an encounter with intelligent beings from other planets or dimensions. Roper also found that among those adult Americans who believe in abductions by non-terrestrial beings, fully one-third (33%) claim they either experienced or know someone who experienced a close encounter with intelligent beings from other planets or dimensions.
The “Exopolitics” Model of the Universe
“Exopolitics”, the new political science of outer space, is the science of relations between our human civilization and other intelligent civilizations in the universe.
The Exopolitics Model of the universe, first presented in June 2000 by this author at a scholarly conference at the University of Wyoming chaired by Prof. Leo Sprinkle, may be one candidate for triggering a crucial sea change in human perception.
The Exopolitics Model of the universe is the obverse of the 20th century canon of science, which held that all intelligent life ends at earth’s geostationary orbit.
The 20th century penalty for any professional, educator, journalist, or government official not towing the scientific canon that only earth harbored intelligent life was probable loss of employment, professional status, and harassment by government authorities.
The Exopolitics Model holds that we live in a highly populated universe filled with intelligent, evolving civilizations operating under universal law, with governance systems and mediated by universe politics. We on earth are just becoming aware that we live in a populated universe.
Like all models, Exopolitics provides a path for minds to go where they had not ventured before. The Exopolitics Model provides the interface between human and Extraterrestrial societies.
The Exopolitics Model is a human version of the 100 monkeys syndrome - that 100 monkeys washing their yams on one island will result in all monkeys on all islands washing their yams.
Exopolitics allows us all to internalize a truth: that we are part of a populated cosmos and that the neighbors are outreaching to us at this time.
As Thomas Kuhn (author of The Structure of Scientific Revolutions) has written, scientific revolutions come about in paradigm-shifts, in sea-changes about the way that our entire human species chooses to see its reality.
No amount of scientific data will change any single individual’s mind about humanity’s living in a populated universe, filled with diverse advanced civilizations, some of which are seeking to engage us now. Each person has to want to change her or his own mind, on the basis of available data and context.
Here is some hard, scientific evidence that the exopolitical paradigm shift is well underway.
Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
