It has been over two years since this blog was first posted on social media. I believe that the information and analysis offered is still pertinent.
“The 4-minute interview linked below covers a great deal of important material. It starts by mentioning the Navy’s remarkable admission in 2017 that 3 separate videos, from 2004 and 2015, are genuine images of UFOs. Now in 2020, the Navy has refused to declassify all information related to these incidents because this would allegedly severely imperil national security. The former head of a US Defense Department’s project studying UFOs, Mr. Luis Elizondo, states that a complete release of all the information obtained on those tapes would include “metadata” revealing important aspects of defense technology. He suggests however that the Pentagon has means of “cleaning up” the material to remove any sensitive data that could aid potential enemies in learning about classified technology.
Elizondo then goes on to reiterate comments he has made in the past that there is opposition within the defense establishment to release information about UFOs. Thus, we have a wavering policy that reflects a struggle between competing factions. On one hand, we have those pushing for more openness. On the other hand, they are being opposed by more conservative factions that might want to continue a strict de facto program of ridicule and denial forever.
That struggle within the Pentagon I believe mirrors a much larger conflict within various elements of ruling elites. From the Wilson-Davis leak, we now know that attempts have been made to reverse engineer flying saucer technology for decades. Allegedly, according to the sources described in the Wilson-Davis interview, not a great deal of progress had been accomplished in deciphering the secrets of the saucers. This is thought to be due, at least in part, to the extraordinary secrecy in back engineering projects that must limit the numbers of scientists and technicians involved. When they are faced with technical problems, unlike in open scientific research settings, they are not able to employ the most knowledgeable scientists in that field to help solve the problems blocking progress.
Thus, the highly classified nature of back engineering not only prevents rapid development of new technology, but more importantly rules out completely any commercial applications of the advances learned from “off planet” sources. It is probable that secret budgets for back engineering projects over the decades have generated hundreds of millions of dollars in profits for private contractors. My guess is that this sum is “chump change” compared to the trillions in profits that would accrue if super advances from the “saucers” could be downloaded into our commercial technological culture.
Luis Elizondo has talked about the possible benefits of such advanced technology. These could include not only space craft design and propulsion systems, but also commercial transportation and even medical care. Thus, it is important to see how the battle in the Pentagon about openness on this subject is part of an even more decisive struggle occurring within the economic and political elites of our planet.”
Addendum: The confirmation process that has been going on since December of 2017 involves the acknowledgement that flying saucers are real, and that the US government is studying the challenge as a defense concern. This policy must be distinguished from what people imagine is the big D “Disclosure.” This is supposedly when some kind of “authority” figure (US President, or the Pope) makes a announcement to the world that “We are not alone.” Confirmation of the reality of the phenomenon is a necessary preliminary step prior to more substantial disclosures and are part of what researcher Grant Cameron calls the US Executive Branch’s gradual “acclimatization” project. And it has been going on since the very beginning of the modern UFO era. In his important book “Managing Magic” Cameron documents this eight-decade process in detail.
Dedicated observers of the flying saucer scene should understand that the predominant response of ruling elites has been a counterintelligence one. This is because UFO intelligence threatens all terrestrial elites, economic, political, military, scientific and even religious ones. In my opinion, however these, “others” don’t threaten the Earth’s peoples. So, it is not surprising that any confirmation process will involve a combination of accurate information and disinformation to maintain elite control over the process. The problem is that the elites of our wounded planet will never be able to control the actions of what Jacques Vallee called a “higher intelligence agency”, the non-human forces responsible for flying saucer phenomena.
Additional Comment by the Author:
The posting above is not intended as an endorsement of Fox News or the racist/right wing populist Tucker Carlson. It is offered because Fox News has a viewership of tens of millions, and they have consistently covered the UFO story. This coverage even includes giving the CE-5 network’s founder Steven Greer a brief interview if memory serves me correctly on the Laura Ingram show. I don’t recall any of the other networks allowing a champion of Human Initiated Contact doing so. If viewers of this social media platform know of such interviews on other networks, MSNBC CBS etc., please provide the links.
In my judgment, Fox News has so frequently covered this subject because their goal is to promote a populist right wing agenda that culminated in Mr. Trump taking over the Republican Party and wining the 2016 election. They are not conservatives. Fox and the MAGA movement they have helped to create are reactionaries. This means they don’t want to preserve the status quo, but instead want to roll back the clock and have us return to “the good old days.” This translates as cutting taxes for the wealthy, curtailing social security, attacking non-white segments of society, but strangely enough putting limits on foreign US commitments. I believe this last aspect is consistent with the radical right’s nativist sentiments.
I suggest that Fox provides frequent interviews with the prominent people in the UFO subculture for political reasons. Fox executives understand that the UFO coverup has been maintained by both Democratic and former conservative Republican establishments. Therefor to rally more people to its reactionary agenda, they are using the considerable interest in this topic to build viewership. Those promoting an anti-establishment political shift to the radical right are sophisticated enough to recognize of how popular flying saucers and use that popularity to their advantage.

You can’t control a person who wants “no thing.” I suspect that Flying Saucer Intelligences are feared by our planet’s elites because they can’t be controlled by the usual methods applied to the general population. If we start to identify, not with things and thought forms, but rather with universal consciousness, then ultimately, we cannot be controlled either.
Confirmation rather than the big “D” Disclosure is likely the next step in the authority’s gradual acclimatization program. The possibilities of linking flying saucers to solutions for major terrestrial problems is discussed.
If flying saucer intelligences threaten all terrestrial elites, but not necessarily the Earth’s people, then it is understandable that governmental response to UFOs is a counterintelligence one.https://contactunderground.wordpress.com/2022/02/03/dueling-paradigms-perhaps-a-counterintelligence-model-is-better-than-a-scientific-one-to-study-ufos/
