On January 23, 1870, perhaps the most outrageous act of ethnic repression was carried out by the US cavalry, when they massacred most of an American Indian tribe, the Piegans. The dead were mostly women and children in this possibly greatest slaughter ever of native Americans by U.S. troops.

 While the Blackfoot Confederacy – Blood, Piegan and Blackfoots – had endured hostile relations with local white settlers for several years things came to a head when, in 1869, Piegan warrior Owl Child stole several of horses. His victim, one Malcolm Clarke, tracked him and beat him in front of his peers.

 The humiliated, Owl Child led a rogue Piegan band in pursuit of Clarke, killing him, the reason a band of cavalry – led by Major Eugene Baker – was sent by General Sheridan to track the killers and punish them. It was this troop that, on January 23, 1870, received a scout report telling of a Piegan group camped along the Marias River.

 Dawn saw 200 dismounted troopers spread out in ambush positions around the camp, awaiting orders to open fire. When chief Heavy Runner appeared, he approached the troops waving a safe-conduct paper he had been earlier presented with.

Army scout Joe Kipp shouted that the cavalry had found the wrong camp, but was silenced by Baker, who ordered his men to open fire. Heavy Runner fell, and the ensuing massacre of the unprotected. Indian camp was brutal, 173 innocents, mainly elderly, women and children dying in the hail of bullets.

 140 other Piegans were taken prisoner, later released with no food, no clothing and no horses, meaning that the 90-mile trek to Fort Benton, saw many of these poor refugees freezing to death on the march. The incredibly callous and unfeeling murderer Baker never even found the tribe members he was looking for, because they had escaped to Canada.

Despite a brief Congressional storm of outraged protest at the time, General Sherman issued a press denial of any military guilt, blaming the alcoholism of Major Baker for both the massacre and failure to capture the right Indians, an official investigation into the incident never taking place.

This little-known incident was every bit as significant and damning as other dreadful acts of savagery by the US military, like Bear River or Washita, where massacres also took place, but, history has overlooked it.

No monument was ever erected to mark the site of the mass Piegan grave, but it should not ever be forgotten. America has its own share of dirty secrets and atrocities, something nobody should ever overlook.

When recently applied to the video testimony of 1947 Roswell UFO incident key witness Major Jesse Marcel, this incredible program confirmed that he had been telling the whole truth as he believed it to be. The software, now much in demand obviously, was written by Doctors Raj Chandramouli and Kodusayur Subbalakshmi, and is set to revolutionize crime detection.

This amazing programme combs any testimony for a total of 88 psycholinguistic clues, far more sensitive than traditional lie detectors, and does not even require that a subject be hooked up to any machine for it to be successfully employed. As long as there is taped or video recorded conversation by the subject, even if they are deceased, the software will ferret out any lying that they do.

Major Marcel had claimed to have discovered a lot of debris at the crash site that was not only paper-thin metallic in nature, but also impervious either to blows from a sledgehammer or the application of fierce heat. His contention all along was that such materials were, as far as he knew, unknown on earth at that time, so the aircraft spread over that field must have been of extra-terrestrial origins.

Analysis of the recorded words of the Major, employing the new software, reveal that he was indeed speaking the whole truth as far as he believed it to be, indicating that the 1947 crash site may well, indeed have been the subject of a mysterious US government cover-up, to what end it seems doubtful the general public will ever get to know. The truth is definitely out there, but getting at it may be mission impossible, at least for now.

Those were the recorded words that Joe Paterno heard when he dialed an anonymous phone number that had been hand delivered to him via messenger.

Another role model bites the dust. Another fallen legend. Another hero turfed.

The end of an era.

An era we now know the sickening truth about. An era in which Penn State knowingly chose to sweep child rape and sexual abuse charges under the AstroTurf in order to maintain their sterling reputation and continue to fill their coffers with the gold generated from their highly respected and revered football program – and it’s fearless leaders.

Yes, this author believes that run-on sentence to be the simple, terrifying truth of the matter. That, once again, money and power took precedence over morals and principles. Bothersome legalities aside, of course.

Let’s face it: Under Paterno’s reign, Beaver Stadium expanded from a measly 29,000 seats to a glorious 108,000. The school’s endowment fund exploded and now stands proudly in excess of a billion dollars annually. Mr. and Mrs. Paterno themselves donated over four million dollars to their beloved school, and he almost single handedly raised fourteen million dollars for a badly needed new library.

The Joe Paterno Library, by the way.

If all that isn’t worth a few boys getting raped now and then – what is? Only nine boys over a fifteen year period, that we’ve heard of. Only nine lives shattered, so far.

Let’s not forget that Jerry Sandusky runs a camp – a children’s camp – has has since 1999. Heavily and personally involved, of course. What a great guy!

Sigh.

But, clearly, now that the shit has hit the fan – it’s every man for himself. The harsh and unrelenting media glare combined with public shock and outrage have forced the university into action. After a long couple days of virtual silence and wishful thinking, they finally announced their decision to fire the almighty Paterno.

The original play they wanted to run was to let him carry the proverbial ball until the end of the hopefully glorious season. Football first. Business as usual. No big deal.

Go team Go!

But suddenly, with the world watching – it seemed prudent to change plays mid-game. Adjust strategy. Bring in the offence. Win at all costs.

Paterno must go. He should have done more.

Ok, fair enough. I have no qualms with the turfing of Joepa Paterno.

The only question remaining is: who’s firing/arresting the rest of the silent and the guilty?

This stench and filth goes a lot further and a lot deeper than either Jerry Sandusky or Joe Paterno. While there is no question that Paterno should have done more, he did do one thing. He reported it to the powers that were, the powers that still are – the very powers that held a press conference to announce their decision to fire him.

Wow. Arrogance and self-preservation hath no shame and no boundaries! These folks should be stepping down into the open and waiting arms of the law just as Paterno should have – voluntarily and immediately. Instead, not surprisingly – they choose to hold firm, dig in – passing and dodging blame in their pathetic attempts to maintain their positions of power.

Great examples, all! Leaders by example!

Let’s not forget that this nauseating drama is being playing out on the stage of a world renowned University – institutions that are charged with instilling ethics and principles into the impressionable sponges called students. Students that are the future leaders of this country. Students that are studying. Watching. Learning.

Be afraid.

I may be old and slow, but, I am starting to learn – just as they are. I am beginning to understand that the weakest and most vulnerable members of our society must suffer for the greater good of those charged with their safety, protection, and growth.

We should be terrified that our children may be learning their lessons too well.

And the beat goes on…

Sandusky retired in 1999 but continued to use the school’s facilities for his work with The Second Mile, a foundation he established to help at-risk kids, where authorities say he encountered the boys. The case took on added dimension Saturday when perjury charges were announced against Tim Curley, Penn State’s athletic director, and Gary Schultz, vice president for finance and business. They were also accused of failing to alert police—as required by state law— of their investigation of the allegations.

“This is a case about a sexual predator who used his position within the university and community to repeatedly prey on young boys,” state Attorney General Linda Kelly said Saturday in a statement.

Paterno, who last week became the coach with the most wins in Division I football history, wasn’t charged, and the grand jury report didn’t appear to implicate him in wrongdoing.

Under Paterno’s four-decades-and-counting stewardship, the Nittany Lions became a bedrock in the college game, and fans packed the stadium in State College, a campus town routinely ranked among America’s best places to live and nicknamed Happy Valley. Paterno’s teams were revered both for winning games— including two national championships—and largely steering clear of trouble. Sandusky, whose defenses were usually anchored by tough-guy linebackers—hence the moniker “Linebacker U”—spent three decades at the school. The charges against him cover the period from 1994 to 2009.

Sandusky, 67, was arrested Saturday and released on $100,000 bail after being arraigned on 40 criminal counts. Curley, 57, and Schultz, 62, were expected to turn themselves in on Monday in Harrisburg.

The school said Sunday that it would bar Sandusky from campus.

The allegations against Sandusky, who started The Second Mile in 1977, range from sexual advances to touching to oral and anal sex. The young men testified before a state grand jury that they were in their early teens when some of the abuse occurred; there is evidence even younger children may have been victimized. Sandusky’s attorney Joe Amendola said his client has been aware of the accusations for about three years and has maintained his innocence.

“He’s shaky, as you can expect,” Amendola told WJAC-TV after Sandusky was arraigned. “Being 67 years old, never having faced criminal charges in his life and having the distinguished career that he’s had, these are very serious allegations.”

A preliminary hearing scheduled for Wednesday would likely be delayed, Amendola said. Sandusky is charged with multiple counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, corruption of minors, endangering the welfare of a child, indecent assault and unlawful contact with a minor, as well as single counts of aggravated indecent assault and attempted indecent assault.

No one answered a knock at the door Saturday at Sandusky’s modest, two-story brick home at the end of a dead-end road in State College. A man who answered the door at The Second Mile office in State College declined to give his name and said the organization had no comment.

The grand jury said eight boys were targets of sexual advances or assaults by Sandusky. None was named, and in at least one case, the jury said the child’s identity remains unknown to authorities.

One accuser, now 27, testified that Sandusky initiated contact with a “soap battle” in the shower that led to multiple instances of involuntary sexual intercourse and indecent assault at Sandusky’s hands, the grand jury report said.

He said he traveled to charity functions and Penn State games with Sandusky, even being listed as a member of the Sandusky family party for the 1998 Outback Bowl and 1999 Alamo Bowl. But when the boy resisted his advances, Sandusky threatened to send him home from the Alamo Bowl, the report said.

Sandusky also gave him clothes, shoes, a snowboard, golf clubs, hockey gear and football jerseys, and even guaranteed that he could walk on to the football team, the grand jury said, and the boy also appeared with Sandusky in a photo in Sports Illustrated. He testified that Sandusky once gave him $50 to buy marijuana, drove him to purchase it and then drove him home as the boy smoked the drug.

The first case to come to light was a boy who met Sandusky when he was 11 or 12, the grand jury said. The boy received expensive gifts and trips to sports events from Sandusky, and physical contact began during his overnight stays at Sandusky’s home, jurors said. Eventually, the boy’s mother reported the allegations of sexual assault to his high school, and Sandusky was banned from the child’s school district in Clinton County in 2009. That triggered the state investigation that culminated in charges Saturday.

But the report also alleges much earlier instances of abuse and details failed efforts to stop it by some who became aware of what was happening.

Another child, known only as a boy about 11 to 13, was seen by a janitor pinned against a wall while Sandusky performed oral sex on him in fall 2000, the grand jury said.

And in 2002, Kelly said, a graduate assistant saw Sandusky sexually assault a naked boy, estimated to be about 10 years old, in a team locker room shower. The grad student and his father reported what he saw to Paterno, who immediately told Curley, prosecutors said.

Curley and Schultz met with the graduate assistant about a week and a half later, Kelly said.

“Despite a powerful eyewitness statement about the sexual assault of a child, this incident was not reported to any law enforcement or child protective agency, as required by Pennsylvania law,” Kelly said.

There’s no indication that anyone at school attempted to find the boy or follow up with the witness, she said.

Curley denied that the assistant had reported anything of a sexual nature, calling it “merely `horsing around,”’ the 23-page grand jury report said. But he also testified that he barred Sandusky from bringing children onto campus and that he advised Penn State President Graham Spanier of the matter.

The grand jury said Curley was lying, Kelly said, adding that it also deemed portions of Schultz’s testimony not to be credible.

Schultz told the jurors he also knew of a 1998 investigation involving sexually inappropriate behavior by Sandusky with a boy in the showers the football team used.

But despite his job overseeing campus police, he never reported the 2002 allegations to any authorities, “never sought or received a police report on the 1998 incident and never attempted to learn the identity of the child in the shower in 2002,” the jurors wrote. “No one from the university did so.”

Lawyers for both Curley and Schultz issued statements saying they are innocent of all charges.

In response to a request for comment from Paterno, a spokesman for the athletic department said all such questions would be referred to university representatives, who released a statement from Spanier calling the allegations against Sandusky “troubling” and adding that Curley and Schultz had his unconditional support.

He predicted they will be exonerated.

“I have known and worked daily with Tim and Gary for more than 16 years,” Spanier said. “I have complete confidence in how they handled the allegations about a former university employee.”

The university is also paying legal costs for Curley and Schultz because the allegations against them concern how they fulfilled their responsibilities as employees, spokeswoman Lisa Powers said.

Sandusky, once considered a potential successor to Paterno, drew up the defenses for the Nittany Lions’ national-title teams in 1982 and 1986. The team is enjoying another successful run this season; at 8-1, Penn State is ranked No. 16 in the AP Top 25 and is the last undefeated squad in Big Ten play. The Nittany Lions were off Saturday.

As the head football coach, Paterno has spent years cultivating a reputation for putting integrity ahead of modern college-sports economics. It’s a notion that has benefited Penn State’s marketing and recruiting efforts over the decades and one that the Big Ten school’s alumni proudly tout years after they leave.

“We’re supposed to be one of the universities to follow after, someone to look up to,” said sophomore Brian Prewitt of Poughkeepsie, N.Y. “Now that people on the top are involved, it’s going to be bad.”

August 5th 1962, was the sad day, 49years ago, when Marilyn Monroe, having placed a call the previous evening to the white house, was found dead, supposedly an overdose of drugs, in a moment that would sadden people all over the world.

Early in the morning of that fateful day, police sergeant, Jack Clemmons, took a call from a Dr. Hyman Engelberg, stating that the star had overdosed on pills. Arriving at the modest home this iconic lady owned, in Brentwood, this policeman saw Marilyn’s nude body sprawled diagonally, face down across the bed, left hand on the nightstand telephone.

This furniture item was bestrewn with empty pill containers, labels describing the drugs in question as Nembutal and chloral hydrate. Oddly, no water glass, for washing the pills down was found, and indeed it transpired that the bathroom had no running water anyway, due to a plumbing problem.

Even more strange, to the trained eye of the policeman, was the unmistakable fact that the housekeeper  had been doing laundry and general tidying the house up, which seemed way out of keeping with the circumstances. The star’s had been dead for several hours, demonstrated by the advanced state of rigor mortis.

What later emerged, to fuel conspiracy theories, was that the housekeeper had actually found the bedroom door locked at midnight, and been unable to get an answer to her queries from Marilyn, though it was to take another four hours before the police were called, and what might have happened in those hours has always been hotly debated.

The body of the unfortunate, only 36 year-old actress went to Westwood Village Mortuary. The Brentwood house was sealed for further investigations to take place. Los Angeles County Deputy Medical Examiner Dr. Thomas Noguchi performed the autopsy at the county morgue, attributing a lethal overdose of Nembutal and chloral hydrate as the cause of death, probably in a suicidal act.

In fact, Dr. Noguchi claimed to have bowed to pressure from superiors in signing the original autopsy report, which he subsequently tried to change, and no wonder. For instance,the yellow discoloration of bowel tissue common with this drug was notably absent from her gut, as indeed was any evidence of half-dissolved capsules. To kill herself with this two drug combination, at least fifty tablets would have to be ingested,  but no water was found at the scene, and the so-called official death certificate, citing probable suicide, seemed to be not quite right somehow, as the word probable was in pencil, quite possibly added later

Another quirky fact is the revelation that housekeeper Eunice Tan had actually been dismissed from her job on the afternoon before, yet was still hanging around in the middle of the night? We can never know for sure if that call was to her rumored lover John F Kennedy, or if her death was  somehow linked to that doomed relationship, but the questions remain to this day.

Just how much Marilyn was loved was perhaps best demonstrated by ex-husband Joe Di Maggio, who had roses placed annually on her tomb, until the day he himself died. A truly iconic, if tragic star, Marilyn will never be forgotten, and the questions will always be asked.

The Tipping Point Event    by Bill M. Tracer

Previously, we explored possible reasons authorities may have maintained the cover-up of such data in the article, UFO Cover-up: Why? Then as observed in another earlier article, Is The Brookings Report Now Obsolete? we found that skepticism regarding the reality of UFOs and Extraterrestrial life has shrunken over time since 1947 from a considerable majority to a decided minority in the present day. We may not yet have reached a true level of critical mass of belief, but we are getting close to that tipping point. It wouldn’t take much to knock us over that teetering edge from skepticism to belief. For example in their latest book, A. D. After Disclosure, Richard Dolan and Bryce Zabel explore the scenario of a dramatic mass sighting that might be fairly undeniable, for this time many witnesses record the event with cell phone cameras, and digital video recorders simultaneously coming from many different angles. These videos almost immediately presented on YouTube, coupled with a media buzz, would sky rocket the number of people who would view them. They would go viral in a matter of hours after being uploaded online. This sort of incident could be the tipping point event, such as depicted in the above artistic rendering. And if more than one event of this type occurred within a relatively short time period, critical mass could be reached quite abruptly. Then if disclosure is not soon forthcoming, those within the government will likely find themselves facing a populous growing increasingly impatient for a proper explanation.

What then?

How will our government respond when confronted with a general public demanding some serious answers on this topic, asking frank questions about just what these obviously real craft are? Is this the scenario that will force the hand of disclosure? Or will we still get more run around and bold face lies, in spite of having such an opportunity to come clean at last? The problem at this point with more lies is that the government would be digging themselves deeper into a policy of lies that would insure the end of all the political careers of those currently in office, when these secrets inevitably are finally exposed. It would really be in their better interest to come out with it at such a point in time. This is especially true in light of the fact that the Brookings Report revealed to us that part of the reason for the cover-up was to give the general public the chance to acclimate or adjust emotionally, intellectually, and attitudinally to the idea of extraterrestrials among us. Once our critical mass of the populous has made this particular adjustment, this primary reason for the cover-up becomes no longer an issue. The appropriate response at that point would be Disclosure.

Almost, But Not Quite

On the night of Friday January 28, 2011 it almost happened. As events go this one was still not quite enough of a punch, for there were ostensibly not enough witnesses. It was apparently recorded by two different cameras. In fact, in one of the two videos we see the other recorder holding up his phone while recording the same event. Both of their videos show a bright light in the sky over Jerusalem, directly above the Dome of the Rock. It hovered high for a while, then slowly dropped straight down to a level much lower over the city. After a short time a bright flash illuminated the area, and abruptly the light zipped away at a great speed. This was then followed by a strange blinking like show high in the sky.

Here is a good side by side composite video of the two recordings:

This is the sort of thing you would expect to have a great many witnesses. If it had occurred in the day time, most certainly there would have been many. It will likely be this sort of event taking place in the day time with many recording witnesses that will be the tipping point. Unfortunately the Dome of the Rock event will not be the tipping point event, due to it not being clear enough or big enough. It is noteworthy that just before the publishing of this article; this writer has learned that there is now another recording at YouTube purporting to be a closer view of this same event; however it does not look consistent, lacking the flash, and appears to be a hoax. There is much controversy already about the whole thing being a hoax, which is to be expected regardless of whether the original recordings are a hoax or not. When the actual tipping point event does occur, it will be much more clearly not a hoax than this particular event over Jerusalem.

Here is the closer, pretty clearly hoaxed video:

Keep your eyes in the sky, and carry that camera. You never know when you might become a part of the Disclosure tipping point event.

On 6 July, he collected up some of the debris and took it to the town of Roswell where, possibly hoping to get a reward, he showed it to George Wilcox, the Sheriff of Chavez County. Neither Brazel nor Wilcox knew what the debris might be from but Wilcox thought it best to contact the Roswell Air Base, home of the 509th Bomber Group. In the meantime, Brazel was contacted by Frank Joyce of the local radio station KGFL for whom he conducted a telephone interview, that has never been aired. 

On 7 July, Major Jesse A Marcel, from the Intelligence Department of the 509th Bomb Group and Sheridan Cavitt a Counter Intelligence Officer, accompanied Brazel to the crash site. In an interview in 1978, Marcel described what he found there:

” When we arrived at the crash site it was amazing to see the vast area it covered. The debris was definitely not that of a tracking device or any sort of plane or missile. I don’t know what it was but it certainly wasn’t anything built by us, and it most certainly wasn’t any weather balloon.”

” We recovered some small beams about three eighths or half inch square with some sort of hieroglyphics on them that no one could decipher. These looked something lie balsa wood and were about the same weight except that they were not wood at all. They were very hard, although flexible, and would not burn at all.”

“ The tinfoil we found had little numbers with symbols on them, they were pink and purple and looked as if they had been painted on. I took my cigarette lighter and tried to burn the material we found that resembled parchment but it would not burn, and wouldn’t even smoke.”

” The pieces of metal we brought back were so thin, just like the tinfoil in a pack of cigarettes. But you couldn’t cut it or tear it either. We even tried to make a dent in it with a sixteen pound sledgehammer, and couldn’t. When we screwed it up it would immediately return to its original shape.”

On 8 July, the Public Information Department at the Roswell Army Air Force Base issued a press statement confirming that debris from a crashed flying saucer had been recovered from the desert near the small town of Corona some 30 miles north of Roswell. It stated, ” the many rumours the flying disc became a reality when the Intelligence Office of the 509th Bomb Group of the Eight Air Force , Roswell Army Air Field, was fortunate enough to gain possession of a disc.” The local paper ran the story the same day and in no time at all it had gone national. Later that same day, Mac Brazel was taken into custody.

Colonel William H Blanchard, the Commanding Officer at Roswell Air Force Base contacted his superior General Roger Ramey who furiously ordered that the remaining debris be shipped to Fort Worth in Texas immedaitely, and that Major Marcel was to accompany it.

Once in Texas Major Marcel was ordered to take the debris to General Ramey’s office where it was laid out on brown paper for the Generals inspection. According to Major Marcel it was then taken away and replaced with the debris from a weather balloon. A Warrant Officer, Irving Newton, was then asked to confirm that it was indeed the debris from a weather balloon. A photographer was then called in to take a picture which along with an accompanying statement was released to the press.

 ***

Mac Brazel, who was to remain in military custody for over a week, was taken under military escort to the offices of the Roswell Daily Record to provide a statement of the events leading up to his discovery of the crash site and what he found there. But his story had changed. Later, when he was asked by Frank Joyce why he had changed the details of his story he confided, ” I’m sure what I found out there was no weather balloon. But if I found anything else beside a bomb they are going to have a hard time getting me to say anything about it.” He then added rather nervously, “It’ll go hard on me.”

Within ten days of the original sensational headlines that indicated that an alien flying saucer had crashed in the New Mexico desert the U.S Military had effectively killed the story and it was to remain dormant and forgotten about for the next thirty years.

Interest in the Roswell Incident was reignited when in an interview in 1978, Jesse Marcel revealed that the weather balloon story had been a cover up. Throughout the 1980’s further witnesses to events came forward to tell their stories. It was also during this period that reports of a second crash site began to emerge. A crash site near Socorro, some 150 miles west of the Foster Ranch, where alien corpses had been recovered, and, it has been suggested, the capture of one who was still alive. Is it possible that the entire Roswell Incident was contrived to distract attention away from the real crash site. Some certainly believe this to be the case.

Local people who saw the crash site at Socorro reported having seen a number of small grey bodies, though the site itself was later surrounded by armed guards and cut off from the public gaze. A Military Policeman, Elias Benjamin, has since described how he was assigned to guard aliens, one of whom was still alive. It is believed that any bodies that may have been recovered were taken to Roswell Air Base where any autopsies would have taken place, and the local mortician Glenn Dennis claimed that he had been asked to deliver several child-sized coffins to the base.

Witness accounts continued to leak out. It was said that Joseph Montoya, who as Lieutenant-Governor of New Mexico, had been taken to the Air Base had been physically shaken at having seen four alien bodies and one that was barely alive. Miriam Bush, secretary to the chief medical officer at Roswell, also claimed to have seen alien bodies laid out in preparation for an autopsy to take place. Indeed, the officer who flew Jesse Marcel and the debris of the Roswell crash to Fort Worth, Colonel Oliver Henderson, shortly afterwards flew a cargo plane stashed with crates, boxes, and something described as being like small coffins, to Wright-Patterson Airfield, this was where retrieved foreign aircraft or technologies were taken for examination.

Many of those who witnessed events at Roswell have since claimed that they were the victims of threats and intimidation. Certainly, Mac Brazel would have appeared to have been intimidated into silence. Though he wasn’t shy in complaining of his treatment at the hands of the military he refused to speak again of what he found at the crash site. Officials at the radio station KGFL complaimed that they had been threatened with having their licence to broadcast withdrawn if they refused to cease any further investigation and toe the line. Similar threats were made towards the Roswell Daily Record.

As with all conspiracy theories you will in the end believe what you want to believe. But as always some facts do emerge. Something crashed in the New Mexico desert in July, 1947, and to this day, more than 60 years on we still don’t know what it was. A series of Inquiries have since concluded that it was most likely a surveillance balloon from a secret project codenamed Mogul, but until the evidence for this is revealed along with all the information relating to the Incident, most of which remains secret, we cannot know for sure and are forced to take the word of those who refuse to reveal the facts. Why they refuse to reveal the facts is perhaps as intriguing a question as the facts themselves. So the question remains – did a spaceship crash in the desert near the town of Roswell on the night of 2 July, 1947, and have we already made contact with alien beings from another planet?

The piece of paper in General Ramey’s hand (indicated) has writing on it that is said to be alien in origin. Enlarged versions can be found on the internet.

Belief Is Not Enough…I Want To Know!  by Bill M. Tracer

Polls Suggest We’ve Grown Up and Are Now Ready

Starting with disbelief, just how much have things changed? It is interesting to note that according to a 1947 US Gallup Poll, 90 percent of the population did not believe “flying saucers” were real.

In November of 1996 NEWSWEEK conducted a poll, in which 48 percent believed UFOs to be real, 29 percent believed that Humanity has made contact with aliens, and 48 percent believed that there was a government conspiracy to cover up this contact.

According to a 1997 CNN/Time Poll 80 percent of Americans believed the government was hiding knowledge of the existence of Extraterrestrials. That is a significant number, and that was in 1997. Those numbers have likely grown since then. From that same poll, 50 percent said they believed Alien abductions are real, and 64 percent said they believed Aliens have contacted Humans.

For some numbers a little closer to the present on June 24, 2002 SKY NEWS reported that 65 percent of viewers said they believed in UFO’s. Then in August 2002, according to an opinion poll conducted by the CIRM Institute, as reported in Quark – Monthly Science magazine; 80 percent of those polled believed that other life forms exist in the Universe, and 55% believed there to be a foundation in truth for the existence of UFO’s.

For more information see: Summaries of Some Recent Opinion Polls on UFOs

Now lastly, (and these results are not scientific, yet still noteworthy), there is the informal on-line poll at the website, SodaHead, found at: Do You Believe in Alien Abduction? There were some interesting up to date numbers. Now these values will change over time, but the snap shot when I went to the site on December 29, 2010 were as follows:

Out of 1,436 on-line respondents, 842 or 59 percent said yes they do believe in Alien Abduction; 403 or 28 percent said no, but they do believe in extraterrestrial life; and 191 or 13 percent said no, UFOs and crop circles are bologna. So if we add up the results from those who do believe in Alien Abductions, and those who do not, but who do believe in extraterrestrial life, then we get 87 percent who do believe in Extraterrestrial life. These are the most up to date numbers we can currently get.

While in 1947 the majority did not believe, those numbers have since turned around, so that now a clear majority believes! We’ve gone from 90 percent who did not believe in “flying saucers” in 1947, to 87 percent who do believe in Extraterrestrial life in 2010. That is an impressive alteration of beliefs over a period of 63 years.

Brookings Report: Then and Now

Have some of the proposals recommended in the Brookings Report grown stale with time?

In an earlier article I expounded upon the Brookings Report, prepared by the Brookings Institution, commissioned in 1960 by NASA. As stated in that article, UFO Cover-Up: Why?, the full formal name of that report is, Proposed Studies on the Implications of Peaceful Space Activities for Human Affairs. Follow the link to see a transcription of the entire report.

If you want a more extensive analysis of this report see: UFO Cover-Up: Why?

In short, allow me to reiterate a little, it is a lengthy report, but there are some small portions near the end, under the Subtitle: The implications of a discovery of extraterrestrial life, that deal with confirmation of the existence of extraterrestrial life and the possible ramifications of the general public learning of this confirmation. It even explores the possibility of ancient extraterrestrial artifacts being discovered, once full blown exploration takes us to other worlds like the Moon, Mars, and even Venus. Toward the end of that section, the writers suggest the consequences of such a discovery would be “unpredictable” because of limited knowledge of Human behavior if extraterrestrial confirmation were uncovered. As a result they recommended studies to determine the emotional, intellectual understandings, and attitudes of the general public on this issue, as well as “successive alterations” of those attitudes related to the discovery of intelligent extraterrestrial life. Their suggestions even implied withholding from the general public such confirmation of extraterrestrials, until such time as the general public’s emotional, intellectual understandings and attitudes were adjusted to the implications of any such discovery of or confirmations of extraterrestrials. As stated in my earlier article these recommendations are a perfect description of what those in the Ufological community call the “acclimation program”, which is the effort to acclimate or adjust the attitudes of the public to the idea of real extraterrestrials. In essence the Brookings Report suggested withholding this information, and recommended the acclimation or adjusting of the general public’s attitudes to accept the reality of extraterrestrial life, so that when this withheld information was finally disclosed, any disruptive effects would be minimized or even eliminated.

Now based on the polling information sited earlier in this article, I’d have to say that the emotional, intellectual understands, and attitudes of the general public have become sufficiently adjusted. Look at the dates of the polls, and see how the attitudes change over time, up until now. The majority, 87 percent, now believe in extraterrestrial life. We are ready, and it is indeed past time for the withheld information to be disclosed! The recommendation to withhold this information in the Brookings Report has now become obsolete!

We’ve come a long way in the last 63 years since Roswell. We have the right to know, and like it or not Jack, we’ve come to the point where we can handle the truth!

Did Extraterrestrials Form a Basis of Ancient God Myths?

Not content with the outcome, a French novelist, Emile Zola, published an open letter which was titled ‘J’Accuse’ it appeared on the front page of the newspaper Aurore. In the letter the judges were accused of being under the thumb and in the pay of the military. More than 200,000 copies were sold on that day alone. One month later and Zola was jailed for libel charges but managed to make an escape to England. However, out of the scandal a national division which verged on being a perilous one had emerged. On one side were the nationalists and members of the catholic Church which were in support of the military. The other side saw the republicans, socialists and advocates of religious freedom were all united in support of Dreyfus.

In 1898, Major Hubert Henry, the man that claimed to have discovered the original letter that implicated Dreyfus committed suicide, but not before admitting that he had forged much of that damning evidence against the artillery officer. Soon after this Esterhazy fled from France and the French military were forced to give a new court martial to Dreyfus. Even with the new evidence they still found him guilty in another show trial and this time his life sentence was reduced to 10 years. A new administration was in power in France and it overturned the decision and gave a pardon to Dreyfus. In 1906 the supreme court of appeal in France overturned his conviction. The debacle of this case helped to bring about a greater liberalization within France and also greatly reduced the power of the military, it also witnessed a formal separation between the church and the state.
