UFOs – What does the
President Know?
Grant
Cameron
Don't interfere with anything in the
Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our
liberties. Abraham Lincoln
Every gun that is made, every warship
launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those
who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world
in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers,
the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. Quote from Dwight Eisenhower inscribed on a wall
surrounding his final resting place in Abilene, Kansas
There
is a commonly held belief inside the UFO community that President Eisenhower
was the last president to be in control of the UFO situation. By the end of
Eisenhower’s second term, as the theory goes, a secret government within the
government had taken control of all things dealing with UFOs. The president was
relegated to playing the role of a puppet manipulated by an unelected unseen few
who control of the world.
Any
indication that the president may not be in charge presents a serious problem
for the United States. That is because the United States government is often
held up as a model for the rest of the world. If the president isn’t in charge it also
presents a serious constitutional problem, because in America the constitution
is treated like the inspired word of God.
The
constitutional dilemma of an uninformed president cannot be overstated. That is
because if the UFO cover-up is taking place in the government, constitutionally
the president is the CEO of the government and therefore ultimately in charge.
If the UFO cover-up is taking place in the military, the constitution places the
president as the civilian commander-in-chief of all US military forces. If the
UFO cover-up is being conducted by an intelligence arm of the government then the
president is at the top of that pyramid as well and should be in charge. If the
UFO cover-up is dealing with ETs or non-human entities they are not Americans
but foreigners. Any treaty or negotiation with such being would involve the
president. He is the constitutional head of state and responsible for any
treaty or negotiation. You can’t have a GS-13 or an Air Force Colonel negotiating
with aliens on behalf of the government.
Constitutionally
the president has to cover all four bases of the UFO cover-up. Anything else
would be a violation of the constitution.
Every
president since Roosevelt has gone along with the cover-up which indicates that
there must be rules that everyone in the know agrees with and supports with
their actions. Without a proper constitutional framework and rules there would
be opposition by loyal Americans involved with the UFO cover-up. There appears
to be no opposition, even from President Obama who is a constitutional lawyer.
One of the high level people who seemed to confirm that such rules exist was the former President of
Dr. Eric Walker - 1950 in Pentagon |
Penn State University, Dr. Eric Walker, who appeared by all evidence to have been a key UFO insider. Dr. Walker had 14 honorary doctorate degrees, and was co-developer of the homing torpedo in WW2. He was Chairman of the Institute for Defense Analysis which was the think tank of choice for the US defense department. He set up and ran the Navy's Applied Research Laboratory which did advanced research on submarine related technologies.
At one point in one of the many interviews researchers tried to do, he became angry with an interviewer who was trying to squeeze out answers about the UFO cover-up. In an angry reply Walker shot back, “Why should we change the rules to satisfy your curiosity?” Walker seemed to be indicating a government with rules, as opposed to a secret second government doing whatever it pleased.
The
main piece of evidence that is raised to support the idea that the military
industrial complex had taken over the UFO situation in the United States late
in the Eisenhower administration comes from the words of the final speech given
by Eisenhower before leaving office.
In
that speech Eisenhower stated, “In the councils of government, we must guard
against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought,
by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of
misplaced power exists and will persist.”[1]The
speech has become one of the most well-known of all presidential deliveries,
and the most referenced by UFO historians.
Many
have interpreted this warning as implying that Eisenhower had lost his control
over the key UFO data and policy had ended and that the “military industrial
complex” was the group that everyone should fear.
A
close investigation of the speech reveals, however, that the speech probably
had nothing to do with UFOs.
The
key reason for this non-UFO interpretation is that the initial speech referred
not to the military industrial complex but rather “the military industrial congressional
complex.”[2]
It was a warning about a growing hunger for war because of the money and jobs
it provided. Eisenhower hated war stating at one point, “I hate war as only a
soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its
futility, its stupidity.”[3]
Shortly
before the speech was delivered close advisors to Eisenhower encouraged him to
remove the world congressional from the final draft so as not to offend sitting
legislators. A second proposal to call it “the military industrial scientific
complex” also was pulled at the advice of Eisenhower’s science advisor James
Killian.[4]
The
UFO interpretation becomes even more unlikely when we realize the word
“military industrial” replaced the earlier more accurate “war-based industrial
complex.” The term war-based or military–industrial–congressional complex
refers to the policy and monetary relationships between legislators, national
military forces, and the military industrial base that supports them.
Eisenhower was warning of the escalating spending on weapons that took away
from more noble programs. “The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this,”
Eisenhower warned to a gathering of the American Society of Newspaper Editors
in 1953. “A modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric
power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully
equipped hospitals. It is some 50 miles of concrete highway. We pay for a
single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single
destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.”
The
warning from Eisenhower about spending did come to pass. Spending on military
hardware soared during the Kennedy administration that took over the White
House only days after the speech. Lyndon B. Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, led
America into a hugely expensive land war in Asia that was a military industrial
complex wet dream. Sixty years after the speech the military budget, backed by
congressional members bringing back job creators such as weapons factories,
military research facilities, and military bases, has risen to the point where
“the US military budget accounts for approximately 40% of global arms spending.
The 2012 budget is 6–7 times larger than the $106 billion military budget of
China, and is more than the next twenty largest military spenders combined.”[5]
This
was forcefully spelled out by David Berteau, who helped President Obama fiscal
commission craft $100 billion in defense cuts. Berteau stated, “Cutting defense
spending is a political minefield. Every major weapons program and every major
military base has forceful advocates on Capitol Hill – the House and Senate
members whose districts would lose jobs and income when specific programs or
bases are cut.”[6]
A
complete review of Eisenhower’s final speech shows clearly that UFOs are
probably not the focus of the speech. This is especially true with the earlier
draft speech drafts that included the words congress and science. It would also
be hard if not impossible to tie science of congress into a secret unelected government
calling the UFO shot.
The
idea that Eisenhower had lost control of the UFO subject as also totally
inconsistent with much of the presidential UFO history that follows. Start with
President Kennedy for example.
I
didn’t know Kennedy but I am sure he was no General Dwight Eisenhower. Kennedy was not a
5-Star General, nor a former Commander of Allied Forces. He was a liberal democratic
politician who fought against the idea of secrecy as evidenced by his one
speech on secrecy where he stated, “The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a
free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically
opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings.”[7]
If Eisenhower had lost the oversight of UFOs then Kennedy’s bio would hardly
qualify as someone the “shadow government” would return to overseeing the most
highly classified subject in the United States.[8]
Kennedy
also threatened to “splinter the CIA in a thousand pieces and scatter it to the
winds” and slept with many women. Both items would make him a serious security
risk and yet it appears from stories that he did have control over the most
highly classified information on UFOs.
There
are unverified UFO documents that have floated around the UFO community for years
that show that Kennedy demanded the CIA share the UFO information with the
Soviets.[9]
There is also a document that indicates that he may have shared the UFO secrets
with Marilyn Monroe.[10]
Does this then mean that the Soviets and Kennedy’s girlfriends were given
access to the UFO secrets but Eisenhower was denied access?
The
more likely hypothesis is that all Presidents are told as the constitution
demands.
Allene Gramley and Lucile Andrew told of their father's pre-1944 encounter with alien bodies below the Capitol Building in Washington, DC. |
Also
like Roosevelt[13]
before him and Nixon after him there is a story that Kennedy went to Tyndall
Air Force Base in Florida to view the alien bodies at a medical facility there.
The visit involved not only the President but other high brass, which is
consistent with a government (as opposed to shadow government) control over the
UFO phenomena. The story is told by long time UFO researchers Timothy Good who
recounted an interaction he had in 2006 with an impeccable source who was close
to Kennedy and a member of the White House Staff. According to the source the
meeting to see the bodies had been set up by General McHugh, the Air Aide to
the President. (In this regard there is a significant parallel to the Truman
administration where General Robert Landry, the Air Aide, had as part of his
job the job of providing an oral briefing to the President on flying saucers
every three months.) The source told Good,
Kennedy's Air Force Aide General Godfrey McHugh |
Around 1961/62 President Kennedy
expressed a wish to see the alien bodies associated with an alien
crash-site…General Godfrey McHugh, (the Air Force Aide to the President, who
had dated Jacqueline Bouvier prior to her marriage to Jack Kennedy, who was
responsible for Air Force One, rode in the
middle of the front seat of the Presidential State car when the
president was transported, and was the man who guarded the president’s body on
Air Force One after the 1963 assassination in Dallas) was in charge of the
arrangements at the time and the Air Force One was used to take Kennedy and
other top brass on this visit…the alien bodies were taken to Florida when
Kennedy went to see them at a medical facility. They have probably moved around
over time.”[14]
President
Richard Nixon, like Kennedy reportedly saw the alien bodies. He knew where the
bodies were at Homestead Air Force Base in Florida where he landed on every
trip he made during his presidency on the way to his southern White House and
Key Biscayne. Like Kennedy Nixon took others to see the bodies. In the one case
we know about he was able to take comedian Jackie Gleason to see the aliens at
Homestead without any interference from the people guarding the bodies on the
base. Nixon like Kennedy seemed to have the access to the most secret UFO
information.
The
idea that Eisenhower lost control of the UFO situation is inconsistent with the
stories told about President Jimmy Carter when they are read in the proper context.
Carter like Kennedy was a liberal democrat who had run against the idea of the
Washington insiders. Yet it appears that he too had the keys to the Top Secret
UFO vault as the constitution would demand.
Carter
made two promises when he was running for President. In the one instance he
told the National Enquirer, “"If I become President, I’ll make every piece
of information this country has about UFO sightings available to the public and
scientists. I am convinced that UFOs exist because I have seen one."[15]
The
statement to the Enquirer has led to the generally held misconception that
Carter promised to release everything and that he was completely denied
anything on the subject of UFOs.
In
evaluating what really happened it is important to note that Carter did not
promise to release everything about UFOs. Carter’s Deputy Press secretary
Walter Wurfel spelled out the actual UFO promise,
He (Carter) is committed to the
fullest possible openness in government and would support full disclosure of
material that was not defense sensitive that might relate to UFOs. He did not,
however, pledge to "make every piece of information concerning the UFOs
available to the public." There might be some aspects of some sightings
that would have defense implications that possibly should be safe-guarded
against immediate and full disclosure.[16]
A
close look shows that Wurfel is right. Carter only promised to release to the public
the material that fell outside the rules of national security. Carter stated,
There may be some aspects of the UFO
information, with which I am not familiar which might be related to some secret
experiments that we were doing that involve national security – a new weapons
system. I surely wouldn’t release that, but if it was something removed from
our national security, then I as president would go ahead and release it. I see
nothing wrong with that.[17]
The
second misconception is that Carter was denied any UFO material. The actual
situation was there were two types of UFO information – UFO information for the
public and the UFO information he would require to oversee and make policy
regarding the UFO situation.
What
actually happened when Carter became President is that he did try and fulfill
his promise to get out the UFO information to the public that did not involve
national security. The effort had only limited success.
Carter
began his attempt to get the files he had promised the public when he asked for
“the UFO files” during his president-elect briefing on national security in
November 1976. The story that is told is
that Bush turned him down stating that if he wanted the UFO files he would have
to go through the House Committee for Science and Technology.
The
significant point to note is that Bush didn’t turn him down but sent him to a
house committee. This hints that Carter’s UFO request had nothing to do with
getting information on UFOs for himself as President, but may just have been
Carter asking for the UFO files to satisfy his election promise – all of the
UFOs that did not involve national security.
This
makes sense because if he wanted the Above Top Secret UFO files, Bush would
certainly not have sent him to the House Committee for Science and Technology
to find the files. The Top Secret files for the “President’s Eyes Only” would
have more likely be held by the National Security Agency, CIA, MJ-12, DIA, or
some other agency with access to black budget funding. Because Bush sent him to
the house the request must have been for files that could he could publicly
release.
Once
in office Carter had high level officials in his administration such as Press Secretary
Jody Powell and Science Advisor Frank Press contacted various agencies such as
the CIA, FBI, and NASA. The FBI released 1,600 files, the CIA released about
1,000 with the help of a private lawsuit files by a research group, and NASA
offered to analyze UFO hardware and answer UFO mail. (which involves sending
out a pamphlet with the government party line that there are no ETs) They walked
around heading up another Blue Book type study. Carter’s science advisor was
told NASA did not have the resources to do another study and they lacked the “appropriate
scientific protocols” established. This came after they received a letter from
USAF Col. Charles Senn encouraging them to avoid participation in the Carter’s
idea of opening up the UFO subject to the public.
Another
thing Carter did in an attempt to fulfill his UFO promise to release UFO files
was the signing of an Executive Order 12065- National Security Information
which introduced the "public interest balancing test." It became an
important consideration in the way UFO (and any other subject) FOIA requests
were dealt with. The consequence was a deluge of declassified government UFO
documents released under the Carter administration as Carter had probably
planned. The CIA, FBI, NSA, State, Army, USAF and the Navy department released
thousands of pages of UFO documents under the Carter administration which made
up over half of the UFO documents ever released under the FOIA.
Carter
summed up his efforts to fulfill the UFO promise during a private conversation with
actress Shirley MacLaine shortly after she released her 1983 book “Out on a
Limb” which described her experiences with UFOs.
Carter
hinted to MacLaine he had been briefed on the most sensitive UFO information.
He told MacLaine that it was true- “There were crafts and there were occupants
– why should we be the only ones in the universe.”
Then
in a reference to trying to get the information out to the public Carter stated
he had done what he could. He told MacLaine that he had “tried to shine the
sunshine laws[18]
on intelligence, to expose it, to see how the people would react, but he didn't
and wouldn't and couldn't.”[19]
So
was there concrete evidence that Carter himself got the classified UFO
information? The following information points out that Carter, unlike the public
may just have gotten the truth about UFOs, despite beliefs to the contrary.
·
Prominent
Harvard training civil rights lawyer Danny Sheehan has testified many times
that in 1977 when he was Chief Counsel for the Jesuit headquarters in
Washington DC, that he was contacted by Marcia S. Smith, Director of the
Library of Congress’s Science and Technology Division of the Congressional
Research Service as a consultant. Sheehan was asked to help with two classified
reports Smith was preparing for the president – one was on UFOs and a second
report dealt with extraterrestrial intelligence.
As part of his consultant role he asked for and
spent one afternoon reviewing the classified Blue Book files which included
pictures of a crashed flying saucer being recovered. If Sheehan, as just a
consultant to the two reports, saw pictures of a downed saucer it would
indicate nothing much was held back from Crater who was the final customer for
the classified reports.
Sheehan reported that he saw the final classified
reports that went to the president. In the study on extraterrestrial
intelligence Sheehan reported that he read that it had been determined it was
estimated that there were at least 2-6 extraterrestrial races visiting the
Earth.

Secret service
agent Harvey Jack McGeorge tells a story of being in the Carter briefing. The
story came in a recounting by reporter Harry Lebelson who was then at OMNI
magazine. Lebelson heard it from a close friend of McGeorge. McGeorge was a
munitions counter weapons specialist.
The story told by McGeorge is that he was in the UFO
briefing where Carter was told the and why the aliens were here, the religious
implications, and the fact the aliens are in control. He was also shown the
Holloman Air Force Base landing film which purported shows a landing of a UFO
at Holloman in May 1971 where aliens get out and are greeted by base officials.
The concept was later adopted by Steven Spielberg in his 1977 “Close Encounters
of the Third Kind.” (I have a separate source who told me he had received
information from both Gerald Ford and George Bush Sr. that they had seen the
same Holloman film. Bush saw it as CIA Director and Ford stated he had viewed
it during his presidential briefings. The Bush and Ford stories are further
indicators that all presidents are given the Top Secret UFO briefing)
·
There is also a
document called the Aquarius document that floated around in the 1980s that
purported to be notes from the Carter UFO briefing that occurred on June 14,
1977. This 9 page document mentions many UFO projects complete with code names.
·
Researcher
Timothy Good had written correspondence with Carter’s CIA Director Stansfield
Turner from 1977 to 1981 on the subject of UFOs. Good reported that the one
question refrained from responding to was the subject of MJ-12, the alleged
group that ran the UFO cover-up. If Turner and Carter were out of the loop
Turner could just have said he knew nothing about such a group or it didn’t
exist. He didn’t.
The
idea that the president has not been in charge of the UFO situation since
Eisenhower is
inconsistent with the
statement made by Steven Spielberg relating the statement that President Ronald
Reagan made following a screening of “ET: The Extraterrestrial” at the White
House on June 27, 1981. According to Spielberg Reagan stood up in front of 39
people there to see the movie and without smiling made the following revelation,
“'I wanted to thank you (Spielberg) for bringing E.T. to the White House. We
really enjoyed your movie. There are a number of people in this room who know
that everything on that screen is absolutely true.”[20]
June 27, 1981 - Reagan and Spielberg just before ET screening. |
This
statement hints that Reagan was given the Top Secret UFO briefing and that a number
of people around his administration knew what was going on as well.
One
of the people in the ET screening was George Bush Sr. who may have been one of
the people Reagan was referring to as being in the know. As I mentioned above
Bush told a researcher that he had seen the filming of aliens landing at
Holloman AFB.
Another
piece of evidence that shows he knew came when Bush was running for president
in 1988. During one event in Rogers, Arkansas he was captured on audio tape by
UFO saying he knew a fair bit about UFOs. The comment came when researcher
Charles Huffer asked him if he would release the UFO secret if elected.
Bush
replied that he would and added that Huffer should send him what he had on the
subject to which Huffer challenged Bush saying “You were a CIA man. You know
all that stuff.” At that point Bush replied, “I know some I know a fair
amount".[21]
As
Bush appeared to know the UFO secrets and had nowhere near the qualifications of
Eisenhower, it adds weight to the idea that Eisenhower and every other
president are in the UFO loop.
It
was in the Clinton Administration that most of the stories of the president not
knowing came from. Most of these stories were reported by Dr. Steven Greer and
included 1) Clinton’s first CIA Director James Woolsey saying he and the
president were not able to get access to the UFO material 2) Clinton reportedly
making the statement “I know this is all true, but God damn it, they won't tell
me a thing,” after returning in August 1995 from the Rockefeller Ranch where
Rockefeller presented his pitch for UFO disclosure. 3) Senior White House
reporter Sarah McClendon reporting that Clinton had stated “there was a
government within the government” after asking she asked why he was not doing
something to disclosure the truth of the UFO story.
Yet
there is one story that involved a close involvement by Clinton’s Secretary of
State Warren
Christopher which points to a direct involvement by the White
House with one of the most famous UFO crashes of all times – the January 13,1996
Varginha, Brazil crash. The crash involved the reported recovery of live aliens
by the Brazilian military.
Clinton Secretary of State Warren Christopher |
The
reports of Clinton’s Secretary of State Christopher and NASA Director Daniel S.
Goldin appearing in Brazil five weeks after the event. The appearance of the
two men was quickly picked up by Brazilian researchers as the Americans coming
to get the saucer and aliens.[22]
Later reports claimed that the Americans were successful in their mission. . It
is not known what the Brazilians got in return except for the promise of a Brazilian flying on
the space shuttle. Brazilian Marcos Pontes began his NASA training 17 months later.
If
the story is true and there was a deal for the aliens and craft it would
clearly show that the government, and not the shadow government, is in control
of the most important UFO hardware and ET body evidence. The involvement of
Christopher means that his boss Bill Clinton would have been the source of his
mission to Brazil and the final report coming back. Clinton, despite his claims
of not being told anything, would have been in charge of this key UFO
information. It is inconceivable that Christopher would be reporting back to
some secret cabal and not Clinton.
The
role in the Varginha crash by the State Department also provides strong
evidence that the constitution and strict rules are being followed. As Varginha
is in a foreign country constitutionally it makes sense that the State Department
was reported to be negotiating for the body and hardware on behalf of the
United States government. The state department deals with events in foreign
countries.
Another
key link to the state department implying that the rules are being followed
dealing with all the reports in multiple presidential administrations is that
any UFO debris recovered in foreign countries was historically handled by the
State Department under Project Moon Dust and Blue Fly.
PROJECT
MOONDUST - A specialized aspect of the U.S. Air Force’s over-all material of
the exploitation program to locate, recover, and deliver descended foreign
space vehicles. The designator ‘MOONDUST’ is used in cases involving the
examination of non-US space objects and objects of unknown origin.”
OPERATION
BLUE FLY – [A unit] to facilitate expeditious delivery to the Foreign
Technological Division (FTD) of Moon Dust and other items of great technical
intelligence interest.
The
key to these programs is that the files of recovered foreign debris were found
in state department files and the recovered hardware was moved to the USAF
Foreign Technology Division at Wright Patterson for analysis.[23]
Both are part of the US government. This indicates that the constitution and
government rules on classification, as opposed to a secret non-elected
government governing the process.
Colonel
Phillip Thompson, deputy assistant chief-of-staff for Intelligence was
challenged about the legality of withholding the Moon Dust records. He replied
with a statement indicating that the government (and not some secret cabal) did
control the files. “It, [Project Moon Dust] has been replaced by another name
that is not releasable. FTD’s [Foreign Technology Division, headquartered at
Wright-Patterson] duties are listed in a classified passage in a classified
regulation that is being withheld because it is currently and properly
classified.” [24]
Then there is the story of Vice-president Dick Cheney. Cheney was one of the most powerful person
in American politics. He had five terms as a congressman from Wyoming, Chief of Staff to President Ford, Secretary of Defense under George Bush Sr., and vice-president for 8 years under George Bush Jr. Within the UFO community Cheney had been rumored to be part of the mysterious MJ-12 control group that was rumored to be the real government power in control of UFOs.
Cheney - "If I had been briefed on it, it would probably be classified and I wouldn't talk about it." |
In April 2001, just after entering the White House, Cheney faced my question of whether or not he had been read-in on the true Top Secret UFO information. I asked him the briefing question saying, Mr. Cheney, in all your jobs in government, have you ever been briefed on the subject of UFOs, if so when was it, and what were you told?"
Cheney paused and then gave a reply that seemed my more in line with a government policy than a secret cabal working in complete secrecy. Cheney made reference to classification which would explain why every president is in the secrecy box for life once he is given the real "UFO Briefing."
"If I had been briefed on it," Cheney replied, I'm sure it was probably classified and I wouldn't talk about it."
The
final evidence that indicates the UFO material is controlled by the government
comes from the Obama administration. In fact President Obama who made some of
the most revealing statements that the president may in fact be in charge of
the UFO subject as the constitution has mandated.
Obama
is the most important president to compare to Eisenhower because he did not
even serve in
the military let alone become a war hero. Obama is considered the
most left wing politician that has ever been in the White House. Many think he was
not even born in the country, and is therefore not even qualified to be
president. These things would make it unlikely that the most highly classified
secret in the country would be shared with him. If Obama was given the Top
Secret UFO briefing then it is absolutely guaranteed that all the presidents
were told.
Obama in Roswell - "We'll Keep our Secrets Here" |
The
first statement made by Obama indicating that he is aware and in charge came
during a March 21, 2012 trip to Roswell New Mexico Obama made the following
opening statement,
We had landed in Roswell. I announced
to people when I landed that I had come in peace. (Laughter) Let me tell you –
there are more nine and ten year old boys around the country when I meet them –
they ask me, “Have you been to Roswell and is it true what they say? And I tell
them, ‘If I told you I would have to kill you.’ So their eyes get all
big…so…we’re going to keep our secrets here.[25]
In
light of a November 7, 2011 statement by the Obama White House that there is no
“ET presence” on earth and “no credible information to suggest that any
evidence is being hidden from the public’s eye,”[26]
the immediate question that pops up is what secrets is Obama referring to? If
the president is out of the loop in the UFO chain of command (as is interpreted
by some from the Eisenhower speech) what Roswell secret is Obama claiming he
will keep secret?
The
Obama Roswell statement made makes it very clear that Obama knows the Roswell
ET crash story, and is willing to joke about it. His straight faced statement
that “we will keep our secrets here” indicated that he and other people intend
to keep the classified Roswell story details from the public.
The
second incident that indicates Obama is in the know happened during a tour of
the White House by Men in Black actor Will Smith and his family. When Will’s
son Jaden learned that he would be going to the White House he told his dad
that he would like to ask the president about “ the aliens.” Will stated that he
didn’t want Jaden asking the president about this.
Jaden,
however, was determined, and was about to ask the president about it and
prepared to ask the question when the tour arrived at the situation room which
is the center of power and secrecy in the White House. Before he could ask the question
Obama cut him off saying, “Don’t tell me. The aliens, right? OK, I can neither
confirm nor deny the existence of extra-terrestrials but I can tell you if
there had been a top secret meeting and if there would have been a discussion
about it, it would have taken place in this room.”[27]
The
statement is hardly what one would expect Obama to volunteer if he was locked
out of the UFO story.
In
conclusion it appears that there is a good chance that the president is at the
top of the UFO flow chart as was shown in a 1988 documentary called “UFOs, It
Has Begun.” A top level agent of the CIA sat through the entire production so
the documentary appears to be a controlled leak of information to the public
about the UFO subject.
If
UFOs are an unacknowledged special access program (USAP) as was indicated in a
November 1950 Top Secret memo written by the Canadians after questions to
officials in the United States about what the truth was about flying saucers,
then this is what would be expected. Those read into a USAP program could not
even acknowledge that such a program exists because even the existence of the
program is classified.
The
idea of the president being out of the chain of command and simply a puppet for
a government with no real power may just be disinformation. The plan might
simply be to avoid the president perjuring himself on the subject or taking
questions. These questions might include why has the government lied for almost
70 years, how many people were killed to keep the secret, alien abductions,
cattle mutilations, and what is he doing to stop the alien intrusions. The president
is limited to joking references to the subject because the major media
considers it a joke and will not then ask a series question. Meanwhile, the
President and others scramble behind the scenes to find answers to what is
going on and develop advanced military technologies from their discoveries.
It
appears to all comes down to classified vs. unclassified UFO files. It may
simply be that the President and those with a “need to know” have access to
what the Canadian referred to as the most highly classified subject in the
United States. The public is considered outside the circle of those with a need
to know. As George Bush was rumored to have told president-elect Carter –
curiosity is not sufficient need to know.
Postscript: The CIA
Connection
Constitutionally it would
make sense that the CIA, as the top intelligence unit until the formation of
the Director of National Intelligence in 2004, should be the agency that could
provide the UFO briefing to the President. If the President was out of the loop
we would not expect to see an interaction between the President and the CIA on the
subject of UFOs.
There is a lot of evidence
that the CIA is providing intelligence briefing to the President on UFOs. Take,
for example, the situation that existed in March 1993 when the powerful Laurance
Rockefeller made an effort to get President Bill Clinton to disclose the truth
about UFOs.
Rockefeller’s White House
contact was the President’s Science Advisor Dr. Jack Gibbons. Upon hearing that
Rockefeller was coming Gibbons immediately requested a UFO briefing from the
CIA which is what would be expected if the rules were being followed and there
were no secret second government calling the shot.
The job of providing the
UFO briefing was given to Dr. Ron Pandolfi who was described by the New York
Times in 1996 as the top scientist in the CIA. In the UFO community Pandolfi
was better known as the man who had run “the weird desk” at the CIA since 1983.
This weird desk is where all the paranormal and UFO material was dealt with.
The man in charge of the weird desk has also always been rumored as the man who
briefs the President and the Executive branch on UFOs and other paranormal
subjects.
Pandolfi did acknowledge
that he received the request for a UFO briefing but handed off the job to a
private UFO researcher Dr. Bruce Maccabee. This was done as it was known the
Rockefeller story would get out. As the CIA is on the record as not being
involved in UFOs, it would be impossible to have the CIA producing a UFO
briefing that Rockefeller would tell the world about. The briefing provided by
Maccabee became just one citizen’s opinion that had nothing to do with the
official government.
According to what Pandolfi
told researcher Dr. Steven Greer, after Rockefeller was finished with his
briefing of Clinton’s Science Advisor, Pandolfi went in off the record and
provided information.
The man rumored to have held
the UFO job at the CIA before Pandofli was analyst Dr. Kit Green. Researcher
Bill Moore who knew Green well described Kit Green as “a person close to the
President of the United States, capable of checking on information to determine
its reliability."
Kit Green even made
reference to the fact that he had spoken with Presidents about UFOs and indicated
that the President was not cleared on the subject. (This is the CIA story that
runs counter to the idea that the President is in charge.) Speaking to reporter
Gus Russo Green stated, “I have spoken to three former presidents and the
subject (UFOs) always comes up, not as a briefing, but they also want to know
the truth. But apparently they aren’t cleared for it.”
The big question related to
this statement is – if all the Presidents aren’t cleared on UFOs as Green
maintains how would they know that Green is the UFO expert inside the CIA? Why
would the President ask for information if he has no need to know, and how does
an analyst who job is it to provide intelligence to the President turn around
and tell the President he can’t tell him? The job of the CIA is to provide
intelligence for the President not to keep secrets from him. If they are
keeping the UFO secret who are they then reporting this information to and how
is that constitutional?
A final related story
linking Green, UFOs, and the President is the story of Dr. Eric Walker who is
mentioned above. In the late 1980s Moore sent Green to Walker to determine his
level of UFO knowledge.
Reportedly, the two had
worked together in the past and the conversation went well until the subject of
UFOs came up. At that point Walker started to raise his voice and started tt
talk towards a pile of books in the corner of the room. “The President didn’t
say I have to talk to you,” Walker said in a raised voice. “Did the President
say I have to talk to you? I don’t have to talk to you.” At that point Green
was asked to leave.
The CIA man in charge of
the UFO subject at the CIA before Kit Green was Arthur Lundahl.
Lundahl was one
of the most powerful people in the CIA. He was the man who went into Kennedy’s
office with U-2 photos and briefed Kennedy on the Cuban missile crisis. Lundahl
was chosen to do this briefing because he was the Director of one of the most
secret departments in the CIA. That unit was the National Photographic
Interpretation Center which analyzed all the U-2, SR-71, and later all the spy
satellite photos.
Lundahl on Left with Kennedy |
According to UFO researcher
and former NSA/ASA communications specialist Todd Zechel, “A former CIA
colleague states that Lundahl briefed at least three Presidents on another
subject he is probably the world’s foremost authority on: UFOs.”
A second Lundahl story that
indicates the UFO information resides in the CIA rather than in a secret second
government came in 1977 after Jimmy Carter had been elected. Todd Zechel
questioned Lundahl about a US News and World Report story that there might be
“startling disclosures” from the government about UFOs. Lundahl promised that
he would check with “the boys” who Zechel determined were former CIA Director
Richard Helms and William Colby.

In November 1950 the Canadian government produced a Top Secret memo in which
they described what had been learned about UFOs from American officials. One
thing that was listed was the
fact that the subject was considered to be “the most
highly classified subject in the United States.”

Allene Holt Gramley and her sister Lucile Andrew were daughters of the late
Reverend Turner Hamilton Holt, who was the minister at the Shenandoah Christian
Church in Greenwich, Ohio. Both women, then in their 80s, told me in a 2009
video interview that they had been told a story by their father around 1948.
The story was that their father’s cousin, Roosevelt Secretary of State Cordell
Hull, had showed him a crashed metal object and bodies of three “creatures” a
sub-basement of the Capitol Building in Washington DC. As Hull left office in
1944 the incident happened during the Roosevelt administration.

The same involvement was reported to me by 80+year old Allene Holt Gramley and
her sister who told me the story of her father Turner Holt, a minister in Ohio,
who was shown wreckage and three “creatures” that were being held in a sub-
basement of the Capitol building. The person who showed them to him was his
cousin Cordell Hull, who served as Secretary of State for Roosevelt from
1932-1944.
Good article, Grant,
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Grant Cameron!
ReplyDeleteStraight talk on the 'POTUS does not know' meme.
This was the theme of the TV Series 'The Event', which I covered for Examiner.com at the time.
The post script is particularly revealing...

ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to read an article that was checked for grammar, spelling and tenses as exhaustively as it was researched. I believe a big problem the MSM has with articles such as this is they read very sloppily, and when such lack of care is evident, are hard to take "series"-ly (seriously).
ReplyDeletePeople have been asking about this for decades. Finally it gets addressed.
ReplyDeleteThis is the longest, stupidest, article I could only read part of. "...inspired word of God."! Give me a break, there is no god except the one(s) humans created. U.S. Presidents or otherwise, no one knows anything about UFOs and their alleged "pilots". Adamski as an authorititave source? Give back any degrees you may have gotten for there is little intelligence, common sense, logic, or reason in this article.
ReplyDeleteThe question of what the U.S. president knows or does not know about UFOs and similar phenomena is reasonable, given a recent CIA Director (Panetta) was kept in the dark for four months about a covert program CIA was running behind his back. When he finally learned of the program, he shut it down within 24 hours.

ReplyDeleteAlso goodbye to much of Newtonian materialistic science. Consciousness is the ground of being. This phenomena will be found to be much less physical than is generally believed at the moment.
