We started with a demonstration in front of the White House in Washington DC that stimulated demonstrations and other forms of activism across\u00a0America, even to Argentina and the UK. The idea was to try to kick start a global UFO\/ET activist movement that would stimulate mainstream media to take the subject seriously and not only report on UFOs, but to seriously investigate the issue. Even though we are in the mist of UFO\/ET disclosure as Richard Hoagland aptly points out, most informedpeople\u00a0realize that mainstream press attention is still key to the final unraveling of the 60 year old cover-up.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You know? For the life of me I cannot think of a more useless thing than UFO\u00a0activism. Demonstrating in front of the White House? I&#8217;ve been to many a protest and I can tell you, what they are talking about sounds a little like\u00a0masturbation. It might feel good, but it really won&#8217;t get you anywhere and as Robert Heinland so\u00a0succinctly\u00a0points out, &#8220;it&#8217;s\u00a0lonely!&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>You could also demonstrate\u00a0practicably\u00a0anywhere in DC and get far more attention than in front of the US\u00a0President&#8217;s\u00a0palace, the mainstream media is not in front of the White House most of the important ones are inside the White House with the\u00a0President who&#8217;s\u00a0wrestling\u00a0with, you know! World politics and domestic tranquility, that sort of stuff. You yahoos and your flying saucers are really not part of that are you? <\/p>\n<p>Well on second though, perhaps in front of the White House is the best place for you. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Unfortunately in the abAs Richard Hoagland in a recent\u00a0interview\u00a0with George Noory\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7sfjEkYX5Ek\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7sfjEkYX5Ek<\/a> pointed out, government&#8217;s create boundaries that the mainstream press will not cross and it&#8217;s not real unless its on CNN. It is now my contention that a ground swell of sustained citizen activism is growing to a point that will allow the press to push the boundaries of serious reporting and investigation to eventually bust up the UFO\/ET cover-up. We can&#8217;t hold the mainstream press entirely responsible for abdicating it&#8217;s watchdog\u00a0status\u00a0beginning in the 1950&#8217;s in the face of a government propaganda blitz of denial and ridicule and public apathy.sence of vigorous citizen activism on a variety of issues including UFOs the mainstream press becomes the lapdog of government and special interests, rather than a watchdog for the citizenry. In the 1990&#8217;s the overall conditions for a sustained vigorous UFO\/ET activism movement to end UFO secrecy was not favorable and our effort failed in its main goal to end the UFO\/ET cover-up once and for all.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I love this hero worship of Richard Hoagland. Has anyone but me noticed that he&#8217;s been wrong about nearly everything he&#8217;s said, including his own\u00a0credentials? That should be a red flag if\u00a0nothing\u00a0else but Noooooooooo! He&#8217;s some kind of\u00a0authority! Perhaps it&#8217;s this that creates\u00a0boundaries\u00a0that the press won&#8217;t cross. People for the most part know when they are being lied to, most people that is. In UFOlogy it&#8217;s &#8216;whomever can tell the biggest whopper gets the prize.&#8221; Whatever that is. Book deals and panel discussions I guess. He did get an <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ig_Nobel_Prize\">Ig-Nobel prize<\/a>! That has to account for something! <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Some secondary goals succeeded like the focusing of major press attention onto the subject. I believe this succeeded in sparked many mainstream UFO shows. We also made inroads in stimulating an awareness in the UFO community that good science can&#8217;t succeed if it being suppressed, and its data being manipulated for political reasons. A political problem deserves political solutions, something some very savvy propagandists and intelligence\u00a0people\u00a0in the UFO community realize very well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Propagandists? Those who\u00a0deliberately\u00a0lie to create false\u00a0beliefs\u00a0in people? I&#8217;d say you got that spot on. And I hate to break it to you partner, the mainstream media is not interested in covering UFOs or much of anything else. They are\u00a0primarily\u00a0interested in selling stuff and capturing an\u00a0audience\u00a0to sell stuff to. \u00a0UFO and ghost shows are just\u00a0pieces\u00a0of cheese (literally) to bring in the suckers and get them to buy overly\u00a0expensive cars to\u00a0somehow\u00a0prove their manhood.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7sfjEkYX5Ek\" target=\"_blank\">kYX5Ek<\/a> pointed out, government&#8217;s create boundaries has a that the mainstream press will not cross and it&#8217;s not real unless its on CNN.

You yahoos running around flapping your gums about gooberment cover-ups might want to actually do a bit of\u00a0research\u00a0on the subject. The US\u00a0Government\u00a0doesn&#8217;t\u00a0bother to cover up UFOs\u00a0because\u00a0there is no need. \u00a0UFOs might be an interesting\u00a0phenomena\u00a0that\u00a0warrants\u00a0further *scientific* study (I think so,) but the don&#8217;t seem to\u00a0exist\u00a0in the &#8220;real world&#8221; of paychecks and airplanes. UFOs seem to\u00a0reside\u00a0in the never-never land of\u00a0belief\u00a0and faith. Once\u00a0these so-called UFOligests stop protesting and waving their hands about cover-ups, they might actually find out that .<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s very old, there are reports of UFOs in\u00a0antiquity which are identical to UFO reports today.<\/p>\n<p>Most people really don&#8217;t give a flapping damn about them because they have little to do with the ordinary things in life, you know! Jobs, families and that sort of thing. <\/p>\n<p>Most UFOs are seen by people who are prone to see them. People who are not prone to see them don&#8217;t (strange that.)<\/p>\n<p>UFO&#8217;s hardly ever leave no\u00a0physical\u00a0traces. They seem to be more like projections.<\/p>\n<p>The projections are *subjective* to the person witnessing them.<\/p>\n<p>The projections reflect the\u00a0technical\u00a0bias of the witness. As craft they seem to be just ahead of whatever human\u00a0technology is known to the witness.<\/p>\n<p>There is a tiny\u00a0smidgen\u00a0of\u00a0evidence\u00a0that\u00a0these\u00a0projections *\u00a0occasionally\u00a0* have some effect on\u00a0physical\u00a0reality. \u00a0There are almost no photographs of UFOs that do not have a\u00a0mundane\u00a0explanation.<\/p>\n<p>UFOs do not interact with mainstream thought. In fact the\u00a0phenomena\u00a0seems to avoid direct interaction and changes\u00a0whenever scientific\u00a0processes\u00a0are brought to bare.<\/p>\n<p>Well, this is just if you have\u00a0yourself\u00a0at least a little grounded in\u00a0reality\u00a0and not buried into some stupid &#8220;space brother&#8221; nonsense. UFOs are an interesting\u00a0phenomena, one that I\u00a0believe\u00a0warrants\u00a0further study. What really draws people away is this business of * proclaiming* what UFOs really are as apposed to rendering an opinion of what they *look like.* (Which is what I was doing above.) Not that I didn&#8217;t claim they were the result aliens, why? Because there is absolutely no evidence that UFOs have anything to do with *anything* off of planet Earth. Heck there is no evidence the durn things fly into space at all. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, you can read the rest of the article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufodigest.com\/article\/ufoet-activism-now\">HERE. <\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Be sure to read the single comment (woo-woo!) <\/p>\n<p>Share and enjoy! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once and\u00a0awhile\u00a0I run across\u00a0something\u00a0so absurd, so stupid that I simply must comment on it. http:\/\/www.ufodigest.com\/article\/ufoet-activism-now In the early 1990&#8217;s Operation Right To Know (ORTK)\u00a0http:\/\/exopolitics.blogspot.com\/2008\/03\/ortk-ufo-demonstration.html began a series of UFO\/ET demonstrations and other forms of activism.
