Subject: When Disclosure Serves Secrecy


Hello EBK, list and all,

I've been worried about Dr. Greer and others push for "an end to
ufo secrecy" for the reasons obvious if you've read any of
Vallee's 1979 _Messengers of Deception_ as well as his
subsequent books; the probability that such disclosure would be
manipulated as a continuance of the manipulations that have gone
before. Greer seems to have wisened up to this same scenario's
probability.

I find this one of the most important statements to have been
written in recent ufological history. I hope it will find its
way onto the UpDates list and beyond. It deserves to and needs
to be circulated widely.

Read on...

WHEN DISCLOSURE SERVES SECRECY

Copyright 1999
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.

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' (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.

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.

We have seen the plans and it is not a pretty picture.

I write this as a warning. A warning that the wolves in sheep
clothes are very cunning indeed. And have almost limitless
resources. 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.

The UFO matter is not so much a mystery as a matter deliberately
obfuscated and mystified. 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.

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.

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.
It did not - Why? For such a disclosure would lead to the total
transformation of the status quo. 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. 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 'disclosure' which would make these
covert control programs happy. This is the false or contrived
'disclosure' 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 'facts' 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. 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.

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.

 >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) 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...).

Additionally, there is a subtext which can only be viewed as
thinly veiled racism. 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.

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'. 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.)

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

But why should we wait for these darker scenarios to be
unleashed on an unsuspecting world?

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.

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. 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.
