UFOs and Politics
Martin Gottschall, PhD ©
INTRODUCTION
During the
early 1990's a "Position Statement" was produced by the writer
and published in the
ACUFOS (Australian Centre for UFO Studies) Bulletin in
several parts. These parts were also published by ACUFOS as a
booklet. The essence of the Position Statement was - What do
we know? What might it mean? and What should we do? It had a
mixed response, and many researchers seemed to think it was
too "way out". Today it would probably be seen as fairly close
to the mark. The lesson is that in the UFO field we need to
act when the pattern emerges, not ten years later, if we want
to influence the course of events for the better.
Today, we are
in much the same situation we were in almost a decade ago, in
that while the facts we had in our possession, particularly
those relating to the official cover-up and the abduction
phenomenon, gave us ample cause for concern, we did not know
exactly what was going on, or why. In such an environment it
is not easy to find consensus or even to formulate a course of
effective action. This is precisely what the Position
Statement tried to achieve then, and what I am striving for
now, before it is too late.
As we approach
the new millennium, it seems altogether appropriate to explore
these questions again, and perhaps this time achieve a
consensus for action. I propose to publish a new version to
the Position Statement in parts and not necessarily in the
order in which the complete document might present them. I
hope this will help any ensuing discussion to deal with each
of the main issues on their own merits, and defer the question
of how they might all fit together to a later time. This part
will address "UFOs and Politics".
The following
propositions are presented as reasonable in the context of the
facts we have, although this claim may not be supported by any
argument here:
1.
No
democratically elected government has or has ever had any kind
of mandate from the people that elected it, in respect of the
UFO phenomenon. Also, no such government has acted in such a
manner that it can claim to have openly released information
in its possession regarding the UFO phenomenon. This
proposition would then have the consequence that such
decisions or actions by any such government in respect of
UFO's may not be constitutional or lawful, or binding upon the
peoples so governed.
2.
Every
democratically elected government for the past half century at
least has made decisions and taken actions in respect of UFOs.
This includes the establishment of systems of secrecy for
hiding facts from the governed peoples, the retrieval of
crashed or downed UFOs and their occupants, secret research of
UFO technology and probably, dealings and negotiations with ET
aliens.
3.
There is an
"abduction" program which involves about 3% of the planetary
population or about 200 million people, and possibly several
times that figure. The abductors in this program are
overwhelmingly of the "ET alien" type, and UFOs are routinely
associated with the abduction process.
4.
During the
abduction both the minds and bodies of the abductees are
invaded and the subconscious faculties of the abductees are
manipulated in such a way as to achieve the abductors'
purposes and create amnesia in the abductee. A fundamental
premise underlying our rights as free and responsible citizens
is that our bodies and our subconscious are not to be
manipulated except in ways that we consent to consciously and
where appropriate safeguards and assurances are given. This is
blatantly violated in the abduction process and raises grave
concerns about the propriety of whatever is being done to
abductees.
5.
All the
decisions that governments have made in respect of UFOs have
been made in secret and by a relatively small group of
individuals. There is the possibility at a level of
significantly high probability, that all these decisions serve
an ET agenda, and may be contrary to humanity's welfare and
best interest. It is not implied here that the participants
were consciously acting counter to humanity's best interest,
merely that this was the effect of their actions. Since there
is no reasonable doubt that the abducting aliens invade the
minds and bodies of abductees with impunity, it is altogether
likely that they would do the same with government and
military officials if it served their purpose.
6.
Despite
official secrecy, the main features of the UFO phenomenon as
we know it today have been apparent almost from the beginning
of public awareness of UFOs, and the citizens of democracies
could have demanded open disclosures from their governments.
They have not yet done this and are not likely to do so in the
near future. The mindboggling aspects of the UFO phenomenon
can only be a partial explanation of this peculiar state of
affairs. It is possible, and indeed likely, that not just
abductees, but the human population as a whole is being
manipulated in order to maintain this degree of public
"disinterest".
7.
Those students
of the UFO phenomenon who can discern a pattern of the above
kind, can not just be inactive, and await developments. They
need to take effective action to "awaken" the general public
and to counter any danger that might be threatening. I say
this because the "manipulators'" control of secret government
groups is probably far tighter than of the general population,
and it is the general public to which we have ready access.
The rest of
this article will be devoted to a discussion of premise #7.
UFO conferences and discussions rarely get this far, and
without effective action, all the research and all the facts
in the world will achieve nothing. One of the questions which
immediately comes to mind is: If we are so helpless with
respect to the aliens, why do they bother to cover their
tracks? The answer has to be that we are only helpless as long
as we are kept ignorant and prevented from taking effective
action. Historically humanity could not have prevented a
military style takeover of the planet, but there have always
been plenty of ET's visiting Earth who could. That is still
true today and is likely to remain so into the indefinite
future. We do not have to view humanity as helpless and at the
mercy of unfriendly aliens, although many individuals might
find themselves in just this predicament - one that I believe
we can prevent.
I propose that
effective action should be pursued on three levels
simultaneously. These are:
1. EDUCATING
THE PUBLIC
Reaching the
daily consciousness of people with the UFO facts and their
possible meanings. We can not wait until we know all, because
it may be too late then. We just have to be very careful to
distinguish between our facts and what we think they mean.
This is what many students of the subject have always been
doing, but clearly it has not been enough. We need to continue
with our efforts to educate the public, but couple this effort
with other actions as well.
2. REACHING THE
SUBCONSCIOUS OF PEOPLE -
- the place
where they are being manipulated - with the thing that frees
them, not another manipulation. Advertisers are well aware of
peoples' subconscious, and target it in their campaigns. The
behavioural sciences recognise the subconscious as a vital
part of our individual and collective constitution. If we do
not have access to the mass media and do not wish to
manipulate people, how do we reach their subconscious? I think
the answer lies in certain discoveries that have yet to become
widely accepted. Experiments by Cleve Baxter during the late
1960s and others have demonstrated that a "telepathic" link
exists between all living things, that we can utilise. Baxter
connected his polygraph equipment to his pet plant and
discovered that it responded to his intentions and feelings,
the death of shrimp in its vicinity, and other human subjects.
Its response to Baxter and his experiments was particularly
strong because he had loved and nurtured this plant. The
reader is encouraged to make a detailed study of this
research, since it can not be discussed in detail here.
The inference
which I think can be fairly drawn is that If any one of us
focuses his or her attention on an individual or group, or the
whole of humanity with an attitude of genuine goodwill and
love coupled with an intense feeling about the urgency of this
matter, and asks that individual or group to seek the truth
regarding the UFO phenomenon and any associated issue or
danger requiring action by them, this will reach the
subconscious of those to whom it is directed, and produce
results. If a group of individuals does this in unison, the
effect is probably much stronger. Likewise, a single such
action will achieve far less than continuing regular activity
of this kind.
If any
researcher thinks that the above is "unscientific", please
note the following. The findings of Baxter and others are
based on hard laboratory data. The telepathic link between
living things exists beyond any reasonable doubt. It is the
person who rejects or ignores the facts of this field of
research who is unscientific, because that rejection will have
been based on some kind of prejudice, belief or theory which
is now contrary to experimental facts. We do not have to
create any telepathic link. It is and always has been there.
We just have to accept it and utilise it in the right way.
3. INVOKING THE
ASSISTANCE OF POWERFUL FRIENDS
We are up
against what seem to be powerful adversaries that are using
our fellow humans and our institutions against us. Clearly we
need powerful friends who know what is really going on, and
are able as well as willing to do what we might not be able to
know or do for ourselves. Such friends do exist. Scores of
independent contactee accounts that have been carefully
investigated and are often supported by independent evidence
or witnesses, testify to this.
Unfortunately,
we are not in the position where we can select and ask the
right "friends" to help us. In effect they have to select
themselves. There are three different ways in which we can go
about getting the help we might need. Firstly, we can turn our
attention to those ET visitors who are well disposed towards
us and are able to help, and send our thoughts and feeling to
them in the same way that we do to the humans we tried to
reach via their subconscious. There is ample indication from
contactee accounts, that they have no trouble in getting such
a message.
Secondly, those
of us who believe that some kind of Divine Presence oversees
this universe can and should direct requests for help to this
Presence. It is sure to be passed on to just the right
individuals or groups who can do whatever needs to be done at
that level.
Thirdly, those
who have no particular belief in a Divine Presence, might well
believe in "Goodness" as a principle to live by. If they send
their request to those who might help, who also live by
Goodness, the right helpers are bound to select themselves.
The reader
might wonder why it is necessary to invoke the help of
powerful friends at all. Would such help not be automatic? To
a degree it no doubt is, but not beyond the point of our own
free will to act and choose. In invoking the help of powerful
friends, we take our stand, exercise our free will, and hence
open the way for much more help to be given us. We will also
be doing everything in our power do deal with the issues
involved.
In summary
then, there are ETs visiting our planet, living amongst us and
going about their business, who respect our rights and
privacy, whom we have no cause to fear or suspect. However
there are also others who invade our lives, bodies and minds
and manipulate our institutions, whose intentions are not
necessarily benign. The official cover-up has to be dismantled
at least to the extent that the democratic process can take
control of our relationship with the abducting ET's, and they
have to be compelled to disclose what they are doing and why,
or desist and make appropriate restitution. This is a tall
order, and the biggest challenge is to bring the general
population to the point where they do their bit and will not
be bought or frightened off. Nothing less, however, is going
to be good enough.
