UPDATE Comment From Jack Sarfatti <sarfatti@Well.com 10-26-99 When Disclosure Serves Secrecy By Steven M. Greer M.D. Ending the secrecy surrounding the UFO/ET subject is a laudable goal. It is long overdue. It would transform the world in ways both simple and profound. And yet it is fraught with danger. The covert projects which have been running UFO related programs for nearly 60 years are not interested in a disclosure which upsets their apple cart. They want such a disclosure to transform their apple cart into a freight train. And they potentially have the power and connections to do it. [Jack] For the record. It is my opinion that if there are actual retrieved alien flying saucers, and I am working on the assumption that there are, that the different militaries in charge of them have all, without exception failed miserably and completely in decoding exactly how they work. Otherwise, we would have seen ample evidence in our skies. Any world leader would proudly demonstrate such superior military technology if they had it. All one need do is look at the physics text books to understand why the military has failed in the ET arena. One has only to look at the attitudes of the "respectable" leaders of physics and technology to understand why the military is clueless about what they have had for almost 60 years. Or, alternatively, there are no retrieved flying saucers at all and it's all disinformation. However, given the recent public French report, and other secret information I have, give the latter alternative much lower probability than the former because of my own post-quantum theory that I have developed since 1995 in spite of the debunkers. "Damn the torpedos, full speed ahead." [Greer] There are multiple scenarios attending the disclosure of the UFO subject-and not all of them have the best interests of humanity at heart. Elsewhere, in the new book Extraterrestrial Contact: The Evidence and Implications' (<http://www.drgreer.com/www.DrGreer.com) I write about the kind of disclosure the world needs. An honest one. An open one. One which replaces secrecy with democracy. A disclosure which is peaceful, scientific and hopeful. [Jack] While I applaud the sentiment, I cannot completely agree for simple commercial business reasons. The US government, for example, is so imprisoned in incompetence and bureaucratic red tape and Kangeroo Courts of Peer Review that they are clearly clueless about what needs to be done. A good example of this is the CIA's recent venture capital fund, another is the measley pittance given to the NASA Breakthrough Propulsion Project and the obvious timidity and conventionality of the leaders of that Project. The Right Stuff to Make Star Trek Real is coming from swash-buckling private entrepreuners from "Silicon Valley" who are cutting through all the obstacles with cash. Money talks. So these investments need to be protected to return a profit down the line. That's why the present secrecy on the real stuff, the right stuff. When patents are secured, when IPOs are done and products put on the marked from "virtual reverse engineering" of ET, then the public will be put into the loop. It's simple free enterprise. Does Macy's tell Gimbels? [Greer] But then there is the disclosure the powers that be would like to see: Manipulated. Calculated to consolidate power and engender fear. Configured in such a way that chaos and a deepening need for Big Brother is carefully inculcated into the masses. [Jack] Paranoid hogwash. It's simply money, profits. It's the good old American Dream with Yankee Ingenuity "Crank 'er up, and see how she runs." It has nothing to do with "Big Brother". "It's the economy, Stupid." It has more to do with Alan Greenspan and Nicoli Tesla and keeping the Dow above 12,000, where it should be, than Orwell's "1984". My prediction, my precognitive remote viewing shall we say, is that when we announce several IPOs in the next few years, the Dow will shoot to over 20,000 and I may be conservative in that estimate. [Greer] We have seen the plans and it is not a pretty picture. [Jack] Fear monger. [Greer] I write this as a warning. A warning that the wolves in sheep clothes are very cunning indeed. [Jack] Bull Tweedle. "We have nothing to fear, but fear itself." I guarantee it. [Greer] And have almost limitless resources. [Jack] What do Bill Gates and Paul Allen have to do with this? You know something I don't? Then practise what you preach and spill the beans. :-) [Greer] Most who work with them do not even know they are wolves. Indeed, it is likely that many of the wolves have been convinced that they are sheep. [Jack] Sounds like you and Dan Smith have jumped into bed together? Politics makes strange bedfellows. :-) [Greer] The UFO matter is not so much a mystery as a matter deliberately obfuscated and mystified. [Jack] Not anymore it ain't. "Lafeyette we are here." The Space Marines of Star Force are on the beach. :-) [Greer] Confusion and a lack of clarity serves the larger covert goal of keeping it off the long- range radar of society while power and plans are consolidated quietly. And the one thing more dangerous to society than all this secrecy is a planned, contrived disclosure run by the keepers of the secrets. [Jack] Pure paranoia. The "keepers" are old and doddering and many have Alzheimer's - not a Yuppie among them. :-) [Greer] For years such plans have been made - to be unfurled at just the right time. During a time of great expectation. Of social confusion. Perhaps of millennial madness? I have personally met with a number of people who are very involved with such plans. I do not speculate here. Be aware: The disclosure of UFO reality is being planned very carefully. It will assiduously follow a scheme to spin the subject in just the right way - the only way which will further redound to the glory and power of the secret-keepers. It will be a false disclosure - one born out of the age-old bane of human existence: selfishness and greed. Greed for power. Greed for control. Greed for domination. [Jack] You sound like a Militia spokesman. The above is balderdash. [Greer] We must be mature and informed on such matters. Only a vigilant and informed public can see through such deceit - and correct it should such a plan be unfurled. Every citizen needs to know that great good can come from the truth being known. But the mature citizen must also recognize that the truth' can be spun and spun again -until the goals of those who crave secret and overt power are met. Consider: One scenario for disclosure is that the UFO and Extraterrestrial subject is acknowledged in a way which is scientific and hopeful. Excessive secrecy which lacks executive branch and congressional oversight is ended. Humanity begins to entertain open contact with other civilizations, with peaceful engagement as the goal. Technologies which are currently suppressed are allowed to be disseminated: Pollution ends. An economy of abundance and social justice is firmly established. Global environmental destruction and mind-numbing world poverty become a faint memory. Zero-point based energy devices transform the world. Electro-gravitic devices permit above ground travel without paving over the world's precious fertile farm land. As an ET once told Colonel Philip Corso, " Its a new world, if you can take it...". This is the disclosure which we are working for. But the disclosure envisioned above could have happened in 1950. [Jack] Bull. It did not happen, it could not have happened back then because physics was still so primitive that not even Einstein, Bohr, John Von Neumann, Ed Teller, Richard Feynman, Julian Schwinger, J Robert Oppenheimer et-al and All The King's Men could figure it out! Many of these men were my teachers. I was around in the 50's and I know how those men were thinking. Disclosure of the UFO Reality had to wait for several developments like Feynman's idea of nanotechnology "Room at the Bottom" and David Bohm's reformulation of quantum theory that did not reach the critical point until 1993 and others, and then my post-quantum theory in 1995. [Greer] It did not - Why? For such a disclosure would lead to the total transformation of the status quo. [Jack] This is irresponsible drivel. [Greer] Centralized energy systems would be obsolete. Oil would be useful only for lubricants and synthetics. The geo-political order of today would be a thing forgotten: Every country and people on earth would have such a high degree of progress and advancement that all nations would have a seat at the global table. Power would need to be shared. Peaceful acknowledgment of life from elsewhere would make the earth seem like the very small, organic homeland which it is. The vast trillion dollar global military - industrial sector would be reigned in. And a universal spirituality might dawn... But remember, there are hugely powerful interests who dread this scenario. [Jack] Nonsense. Every businessman would love it to happen because it means their profits will be enormous! The energy companies have lots of money to invest in the new post-quantum economy and they will and they will make more money than they ever dreamed of. Enough of your Doom and Gloom Rant and Rave. stuff deleted [Greer] My meetings over the past 9 years with covert operatives who have worked on UFO related programs have introduced me to some characters right out of a spy novel - and then some. [Jack] I don't believe you. If it were true you would already be dead. [Greer] Whether in private high tech industry, at the Pentagon or at a midnight meeting in a private mansion, a theme has emerged. It is one of immense, though currently hidden, power. It transcends government as we know it (at this point the government of 'We the people...' has been made irrelevant on this issue). And the theme has two main strands - the eventual covert militarization of the ET subject and a weird covert religious strain which can only be viewed as bizarre. [Jack] You must mean Dan Smith and his "Eschaton". [Greer] Here, we find some very strange bed-fellows indeed. War mongers and militarists in cahoots with industrialists who share a certain bizarre eschatological bent: A dark view of the future, featuring an extraterrestrial Armageddon - or at least the threat of it. Such a theme supports retrograde and fanatical religious causes as well as deeply covert military-industrial plans to expand the arms race into space. In fact, the big players in the so-called civilian UFO community' are tied into such beliefs and agendas. It strains credulity, I admit, but here is what we have found by penetrating these operations. [Jack] Name names. Describe exact meetings etc. While Dan Smith does, at times, apparently promote the kind of thing you mention he has no real power. I am "The Force without force" here for legitimate optimism. Listen to me, not to Dan Smith. Even Dan Smith listens to me, though he mostly does not take my advice. [Greer] From a military-industrial perspective, the disclosure of choice is one which frames the UFO/ET issue in a threatening manner. If a threat from space can be established ( as President Reagan liked to say) [Jack] He got that idea mostly from me and ... . The Buck stops here. [Greer] then the entire world can be united around the need to fight such a threat. This would ensure trillion dollar plus military - industrial spending well into the next century, and beyond. If you think the cold war was costly, wait until you see the price tag for this protection' from the threats' in space: The trillions spent on the cold war will look like a blue light special. Retrograde and fanatical religious groups, similarly, have great vested interests in fulfilling the promise of Armageddon. An eschatological paradigm, well enshrined in the belief systems of those running covert UFO projects, is supported by the portrayal of a cosmic conflict in the heavens. Voila! We have the necessity of spinning the UFO/ET issue in the evil invading aliens (translates in religious terms as demons) direction. Indeed, this has already been accomplished , courtesy of the civilian UFO community' and the tabloid media (which at this point is virtually all media...). [Jack] Let's put a little balance and sanity into this. It would be as stupid to assume that the ET's all ALL benevolent as to assume that they are ALL malevolent. We have to be prepared for whatever comes either way. We have to be fair, decent, noble, moral, responsible, and all those good things. Also we have to be ready to kick alien ass and squash those Bugs, like in Heinlein's "Star Troopers", IF AND ONLY IF they put us in harm's way. It's a Big Universe Out There, we cannot assume that all ET's come from the same culture with the same objectives. [Greer] Additionally, there is a subtext which can only be viewed as thinly veiled racism. [Jack] I am an avowed enemy of all racism including racism against ETs who mean us no harm. [Greer] You will note that part of the 'new myth' regarding UFOs involves the 'good ET s' , which invariably are described as 'Pleidians' who are 'handsome' white, blue-eyed Aryan appearing types. Naturally, those evil, bad ET s' are darker, shorter, look funny and smell funny. Please. Such clap-trap would have us trade age-old human racism for an extraterrestrial variety. This nonsense and propaganda could only make Hitler proud. [Jack] That is the first point on which we agree. Look there are a lot of pathetic idiots in the UFO movement as in any movement. They are basically too stupid to have any real impact. The Mossad keeps watch and will take care of any Little Hitler Clone who might wish to use the ET issue to resurrect the Third Reich. Yes, there may still be some of those jokers around, but this time we have the Israeli Air Force, second to none. :-) [Greer] In one lengthy meeting with a multi-billionaire, I was told that he gave great support to UFO activities which propel the so-called alien abduction' subject into public awareness because he wanted humanity to unite around fighting this alien threat'. [Jack] Do you mean Laurance Rockefeller? Who do you mean? In any case, what's really wrong with that IF alien abductions are real as John Mack has persuasively argued? There may well be an "alien threat". It all depends on the facts. Just the facts. Also we may have "alien allies". Remember that time travel to the past from the future plays the major role here. [Greer] Later, this very influential figure informed me that he believed these demonic ET s were the cause of every set back in human history since Adam and Eve. Sound familiar? Military interests, which are heavily involved in covert projects which hoax ET events, such as human military- related abductions, have a shared goal of demonizing the UFO/ET phenomenon. Doing so lays the foundations for the fear and dread necessary for an organized opposition to all things ET. And this subserves the long - term need to provide a rationale for an expanding global military even should world peace emerge. In fact, under this scenario, world peace', or strictly speaking peace on earth, could be secured by the world uniting, eventually, against the threat from space' referred to by President Reagan. (By the way, personally I believe Reagan was the victim of disinformation specialists who surrounded him and who manipulated him into the statements he made on this subject.) [Jack] Mea Culpa. However, I do not think it is disinformation. I certainly played a part in that. Who else did? That I do not know. [Greer] Under this scenario, currently being gamed and disclosed' courtesy of the trial - balloon UFO community', we would get peace on earth - in exchange for inter-planetary conflict. One step forward, ten steps back. Wonderful. Such a false and contrived disclosure of the truth' regarding UFOs and ET s would, then, subserve agendas held by powerful covert interests in both the military - industrial sector and those of a strange collection of religious fanatics, who pine for Armageddon - and the sooner the better. [Jack] How do you know the Real Truth here? Where is your God Phone? Where is your hotline to ET? [Greer] Lest the reader think such a strange amalgam of militarists and cult-like religious interests are unlikely, remember the weird views of the Third Reich. Or more recently, the views of one US Department of the Interior cabinet secretary during the Reagan years named James Watts. It was he who, not knowing a microphone was still on and recording his comments, stated in the 1980s that we did not need to worry about all these environmental problems since Armageddon was coming soon and the world would be destroyed anyway...This bizarre view, held by a man who shaped and applied policy for the Interior Department of the US Government, was later reported in the general media. At the time a comical footnote perhaps. But what does it say about the degree to which such beliefs may be shaping covert UFO policy - and specifically disclosure plans? We have found that such views - bizarre as they may seem to most - are heavily represented in covert policy development on the UFO subject. [Jack] In fact it is true that Reagan and probably other Presidents as well did play with those ideas. I know about that. But that was because we did not have enough knowledge back then to turn the tide should we ever be attacked by such advanced super-technology in a serious way. In fact we were not so attacked and will not be. Why? Obviously there is a kind of balance of power and this has to do with time travel - globally self-consistent loops in time. See Kip Thorne's book, "Black Holes and Time Warps" for a discussion of some of the physics involved. [Greer] And most disconcerting of all: This strange mixture of military cosmic saber - rattling and bizarre religious beliefs are the dominant forces shaping both the civilian UFO community' and the planned eventual spin' on UFO disclosure. Let the buyer beware. [Jack] OK Mr. Know It All. What's your plan? What's your Alternative. Put up or shut up. [Greer] To the rational and intellectual, such views seem ridiculous. Why, you might ask, would anyone want a cosmic war in space, an Armageddon and the destruction of the earth? To comprehend this, you have to get inside the head of people who hold such beliefs - people like James Watts. [Jack] How about our own Danny Smith? :-) [Greer] In his case, why worry about a little bit of deforestation, air pollution and areas of dead oceans if the entire world is going to be destroyed in a couple of years anyway? But the thinking goes further than this. Because such fanatical thinking has within it the concept that as a result of the Armageddon we will see the return of Christ- and with it the good people's salvation. Now, people are free to believe what they want. But what we have found is a deliberate influencing of covert policy on UFOs by such beliefs. Some of these people want Armageddon - and they want it ASAP. [Jack] If such Looney Toons are around simply expose them. Name names. Give real evidence. I think you are exaggerating the power of the Lunatic Apocalyptic Right. [Greer] Strictly speaking, the militarists and war-mongers, itching to kick some alien butt' as it was said in the movie Independence Day, may actually only want a pretext to justify their existence and get the world to eventually spend huge sums of money on a perceived (if contrived) threat from space. But in some cases - high up on the food chain of the covert entity running UFO secrecy - the two views meet. A place where militarism and eschatology merge. Where Star Wars and Armageddon join. In tracing the history of both the UFO civilian community and the covert policy-making group concerned with UFOs, we have found a growing penetration of the latter into the former. So much so that at this point there are projects which ostensibly are innocent civilian initiatives but which in reality are totally controlled and financed by cut-outs' from ultra-secret projects. Moreover, our careful penetration of such projects yielded the disturbing finding that deep-cover black project operatives are working closely with alleged civilian researchers, journalists and UFO glitterati. CIA and military intelligence operatives are working with civilian think tank' heads, alongside very wealthy business people who are eschatologists, and being advised by civilian' technologists and scientists - who are themselves proponents of bizarre religious belief systems involving the end of the world and ET s.... Thus, the new chosen ones' have been assembled. They are planning your disclosure on the UFO/ET subject. They are owned by the money whores and power brokers doing the bidding of the secret entity which runs UFO projects to begin with. And it all looks like a civilian initiative. So innocent. So well-intended. So scientific'. And by the way, the sky is falling courtesy of ET and we need your money and your souls to defend against it. Do not be deceived. You need to be awake to the darker scenarios which some would like to thrust upon the world. And you need to know that there are alternatives. If a disclosure' is unleashed on the world which is xenophobic, militaristic and terrifying, know that it comes from the spinmeisters of secrecy - regardless of how respectable the person or group may appear to be. And remember: Part of this disclosure plan involves the use of UFO look-alike devices made by humans in an attack on earth or military assets of earth. This would be a well-orchestrated use of advanced human technologies to hoax an ET attack - all for the purpose of disclosing the truth with the desired military-oriented spin. In such a scenario, most of humanity will be deceived into believing the threat from space has arrived - and that we must fight it at all costs. This is nothing more than long-term social security for the military-industrial complex. There must be people who can expose this fraud. [Jack] I really suspect your motives, Greer, in all this paranoid demonizing. [Greer] But why should we wait for these darker scenarios to be unleashed on an unsuspecting world? [Jack] Why indeed? [Greer] Here is another idea: Why don't we the people' unite and launch a disclosure which resembles the first one described above. An honest one. One which leads to peace, not war. To a sustainable and beautiful world, free of pollution and brimming with abundance, of all types. One which reaches out into the unknown, instead of firing particle beam weapons into the darkness of space. [Jack] Greer, you are an obvious Demogogue. I am more afraid of you than the so called secret Illuminati you are calling for a Jihad against. Your appeal here reminds me of Senator Joe Mc Carthy exaggerating the internal Communist threat which made real counter-intelligence against actual Soviet spies and moles that much more difficult. Enough of your self-serving rabble-rousing. [Greer] Additionally, we welcome those who can come forward with first hand knowledge of the machinations referred to in this paper and who wish to expose such madness to contact us at <http://www.cseti.org/http://www.cseti.org. The one thing the darkness of secrecy cannot tolerate is a spotlight shining right on it. And the more of us holding the light, the better. Evil steps in when good people do nothing. This is a lesson taught through thousands of years of human history. We stand at the beginning of a new time, and a new world awaits us. But we must embrace it, and help create it. For if we are passive, others will have their way - at least in the short run. Steven M. Greer M.D. CSETI Director Albemarle County, Virginia 21 October 1999 [Jack] With friends like Greer, who needs enemies? I could also say that about Dan Smith. :-) ----- Ending the secrecy surrounding the UFO/ET subject is a laudable goal. It is long overdue.

For them, it is the end of the world as they know it. The end of centralized, elite power. The end of a controlled geo-political order which today leaves nearly 90% of the people of earth barely one step out of the stone age. And they do not wish to share the power they wield. Now, let me describe the ëdisclosure' which would make these covert control programs happy. This is the false or contrived ëdisclosure' which has only one clear goal: The further consolidation of their power and their paradigm. It has to do with fear, not love. With war, not peace. With division and conflict, not unity. It is the dominant paradigm - but it is slipping away slowly. And a carefully orchestrated disclosure of the ëfacts' of the UFO and ET subject could secure their power. This is the disclosure which is to be dreaded. This is the disclosure to watch out for. This is the disclosure which is already occurring. My meetings over the past 9 years with covert operatives who have worked on UFO related programs have introduced me to some characters right out of a spy novel - and then some. Whether in private high tech industry, at the Pentagon or at a midnight meeting in a private mansion, a theme has emerged. It is one of immense, though currently hidden, power.

But in some cases - high up on the food chain of the covert entity running UFO secrecy - the two views meet. A place where militarism and eschatology merge. Where Star Wars and Armageddon join. In tracing the history of both the UFO civilian community and the covert policy-making group concerned with UFOs, we have found a growing penetration of the latter into the former. So much so that at this point there are projects which ostensibly are innocent civilian initiatives but which in reality are totally controlled and financed by ëcut-outs' from ultra-secret projects. Moreover, our careful penetration of such projects yielded the disturbing finding that deep-cover black project operatives are working closely with alleged civilian researchers, journalists and UFO glitterati. CIA and military intelligence operatives are working with civilian ëthink tank' heads, alongside very wealthy business people who are eschatologists, and being advised by ëcivilian' technologists and scientists - who are themselves proponents of bizarre religious belief systems involving the end of the world and ET s.... Thus, the new ëchosen ones' have been assembled. They are planning your disclosure on the UFO/ET subject. They are owned by the money whores and power brokers doing the bidding of the secret entity which runs UFO projects to begin with. And it all looks like a civilian initiative. So innocent. So well-intended. So ëscientific'. And by the way, the sky is falling courtesy of ET and we need your money and your souls to defend against it. Do not be deceived. You need to be awake to the darker scenarios which some would like to thrust upon the world. And you need to know that there are alternatives. If a ëdisclosure' is unleashed on the world which is xenophobic, militaristic and terrifying, know that it comes from the spinmeisters of secrecy - regardless of how respectable the person or group may appear to be. And remember: Part of this disclosure plan involves the use of UFO look-alike devices made by humans in an attack on earth or military assets of earth. This would be a well-orchestrated use of advanced human technologies to hoax an ET attack - all for the purpose of disclosing the truth with the desired military-oriented spin. In such a scenario, most of humanity will be deceived into believing the threat from space has arrived - and that we must fight it at all costs. This is nothing more than long-term social security for the military-industrial complex. There must be people who can expose this fraud. But why should we wait for these darker scenarios to be unleashed on an unsuspecting world? Here is another idea: Why don't ëwe the people' unite and launch a disclosure which resembles the first one described above. An honest one. One which leads to peace, not war. To a sustainable and beautiful world, free of pollution and brimming with abundance, of all types. One which reaches out into the unknown, instead of firing particle beam weapons into the darkness of space. Additionally, we welcome those who can come forward with first hand knowledge of the machinations referred to in this paper and who wish to expose such madness to contact us at <http://www.cseti.org/http://<http://www.cseti.org/www.cseti.org. The one thing the darkness of secrecy cannot tolerate is a spotlight shining right on it. And the more of us holding the light, the better. Evil steps in when good people do nothing. This is a lesson taught through thousands of years of human history. We stand at the beginning of a new time, and a new world awaits us. But we must embrace it, and help create it. For if we are passive, others will have their way - at least in the short run. Steven M. Greer M.D. CSETI Director Albemarle County, Virginia 21 October 1999
