Controversy is the spirit of community intellect. It is the motive force behind sharing thought. It is what made ancient Greece notable to history; it is everything about which civilization can pin all hope to survive. To me it is evident that there is an almost constant two-lane highway to our discussions upon forums which deal with any matter of controversy touching government. One path of thought is traveling one way while another is consumed by the same directional incapacity. If we, while at the university, ventured but slightly from the lectures, required reading, exams, and football schedule, we came across those that were not content with the status quo. Sometimes to radical extent... sometimes even faschist extent. But we learned about extremes. And we learned one charges its counterpart. In the middle are the thoughts of great men and women... be they authors, philosophers, scientists, even rustic thinkers like Thoreau and Eric Hoffer. One thing sticks how about such men (and women,) distrust of government. With Samuel Clemons this was true, almost pathological, though in his humor sometimes hidden. However, in his Letters to the Earth, it is glaring. Always, in the swing of the pendulum of time, we see the same primitive forces generated within the seats of power we allow government. Today that swing moves towards assaults in social contract the people have with their governments and with attitudes contrived to steal rights and protections such a social contract proffers... even to implement torture when the historical base behind a govenment is meant to abolish such barbarity. Still, one lane of the highway wants nothing to do with recognizing such dangers. For them these great men and women represent a very unidimensional example, i.e., their professional accomplish- ments. Dwight Eisenhower's warning about the threat of an unchecked alliance between military and industry falls on deaf ears. But the thinkers, the great thinkers, have all known better. Governments are like children, only as good as they are made to be and as bad as permitted. And allowing various cults of secrecy within them is affording them the cover to defeat meaningful input by public oversight. Allowing fewer and fewer concerns to own greater and greater share of the media does not help either. Ufology is the one field of inquiry that suffers most from this iniquity. It is the lightening rod upon which all the secret keepers know their storms of confusion can be brought to ground. For opening up the secrecy around UFOs will reveal the purpose of why the secrecy mechanism itself has become such a citadel of this, The Fourth Reich. Not based on the German model, but what the German model had been... that of the Roman. The discovery of this, more than anything else, led to the murder and absolute dishonest defamation of Francis Parker Yockey. Another great thinker that knew our law, derived from that of Rome, was devised purely to protect privilage. While one lane of that highway has been carefully constructed to avoid ever facing this revelation and where it leads. JCH Listen to 'Strange Days...
