00:01:06,000 involved in the phenomenology 26 00:01:11,750 --> 00:01:08,640 of ufos i'm involved in the politics of 27 00:01:13,109 --> 00:01:11,760 extraterrestrial phenomena 28 00:01:14,710 --> 00:01:13,119 so 29 00:01:17,590 --> 00:01:14,720 i'm not a researcher 30 00:01:19,109 --> 00:01:17,600 i'm advocating for 31 00:01:21,109 --> 00:01:19,119 policy change 32 00:01:23,109 --> 00:01:21,119 uh from the government 33 00:01:25,030 --> 00:01:23,119 with respect to this phenomenon the 34 00:01:27,109 --> 00:01:25,040 current policy of the united states 35 00:01:29,030 --> 00:01:27,119 government which was actually put in 36 00:01:32,469 --> 00:01:29,040 print for the first time 37 00:01:34,230 --> 00:01:32,479 frankly uh on november 4th is that there 38 00:01:35,749 --> 00:01:34,240 is no evidence at all 39 00:01:37,270 --> 00:01:35,759 for 40 00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:37,280 an extraterrestrial not human 41 00:01:42,069 --> 00:01:39,520 intelligence engaging us 42 00:01:43,429 --> 00:01:42,079 which is of course not true 43 00:01:45,510 --> 00:01:43,439 in fact the government has been 44 00:01:47,350 --> 00:01:45,520 deliberately withholding 45 00:01:50,310 --> 00:01:47,360 information and any formal 46 00:01:52,870 --> 00:01:50,320 acknowledgement of this reality 47 00:01:55,590 --> 00:01:52,880 since the late 1940s 48 00:01:57,510 --> 00:01:55,600 as a national security policy so my job 49 00:01:58,870 --> 00:01:57,520 is to change that policy i'm part of a 50 00:02:01,190 --> 00:01:58,880 movement which is often called the 51 00:02:02,469 --> 00:02:01,200 disclosure movement and a goal of the 52 00:02:03,830 --> 00:02:02,479 goal is 53 00:02:05,670 --> 00:02:03,840 the formal acknowledgement of the 54 00:02:06,870 --> 00:02:05,680 extraterrestrial presence 55 00:02:09,589 --> 00:02:06,880 by government that would be the 56 00:02:11,110 --> 00:02:09,599 disclosure event capital d until we get 57 00:02:13,110 --> 00:02:11,120 that we have not succeeded in the 58 00:02:15,910 --> 00:02:13,120 meantime we'll continue to raise public 59 00:02:17,830 --> 00:02:15,920 awareness and pursue that goal yes uh 60 00:02:20,070 --> 00:02:17,840 the one question i have 61 00:02:22,390 --> 00:02:20,080 on this thing that came to mind before i 62 00:02:24,309 --> 00:02:22,400 talked to you was if the government did 63 00:02:26,630 --> 00:02:24,319 go ahead and admit 64 00:02:29,110 --> 00:02:26,640 basically that they've been covering up 65 00:02:30,229 --> 00:02:29,120 and lying all these years 66 00:02:31,509 --> 00:02:30,239 how would they 67 00:02:34,869 --> 00:02:31,519 justify 68 00:02:37,750 --> 00:02:34,879 the tax money they've spent on say seti 69 00:02:40,229 --> 00:02:37,760 and kepler and things uh you know in 70 00:02:42,150 --> 00:02:40,239 regard of searching for extraterrestrial 71 00:02:44,550 --> 00:02:42,160 life if they've known it's been here all 72 00:02:46,949 --> 00:02:44,560 along the government has a great deal to 73 00:02:49,350 --> 00:02:46,959 answer for clearly 74 00:02:51,589 --> 00:02:49,750 there are disclosure 75 00:02:52,550 --> 00:02:51,599 huge number of questions that could be 76 00:02:53,509 --> 00:02:52,560 raised 77 00:02:56,150 --> 00:02:53,519 about 78 00:02:58,149 --> 00:02:56,160 that policy that's one of them but 79 00:03:01,509 --> 00:02:58,159 there's plenty more but the truth of the 80 00:03:03,830 --> 00:03:01,519 matter is that they will justify this 81 00:03:05,509 --> 00:03:03,840 policy on the basis of national security 82 00:03:07,509 --> 00:03:05,519 period right 83 00:03:10,470 --> 00:03:07,519 and uh 84 00:03:12,229 --> 00:03:10,480 the reason i don't call it a cover-up 85 00:03:14,470 --> 00:03:12,239 but rather have 86 00:03:16,710 --> 00:03:14,480 insisted that or made the effort to call 87 00:03:18,550 --> 00:03:16,720 it a truth embargo is that a cover-up 88 00:03:20,070 --> 00:03:18,560 implies illegality and criminality and 89 00:03:22,630 --> 00:03:20,080 it wasn't illegal 90 00:03:24,869 --> 00:03:22,640 the policy to withhold the e.t 91 00:03:25,750 --> 00:03:24,879 and acknowledgement of the e.t issue as 92 00:03:27,509 --> 00:03:25,760 real 93 00:03:29,670 --> 00:03:27,519 was perfectly legal 94 00:03:32,149 --> 00:03:29,680 even without a national security act of 95 00:03:34,789 --> 00:03:32,159 1947 and still would have been legal 96 00:03:35,670 --> 00:03:34,799 this is clearly national security matter 97 00:03:37,270 --> 00:03:35,680 and 98 00:03:39,350 --> 00:03:37,280 they were faced with some very tough 99 00:03:40,949 --> 00:03:39,360 decisions to make back in the 40s and 100 00:03:43,030 --> 00:03:40,959 the 50s with respect to this and they 101 00:03:45,589 --> 00:03:43,040 decided it had to be withheld 102 00:03:46,390 --> 00:03:45,599 so it's uh not illegal 103 00:03:47,910 --> 00:03:46,400 and 104 00:03:49,830 --> 00:03:47,920 if we 105 00:03:50,630 --> 00:03:49,840 and if seti 106 00:03:55,030 --> 00:03:50,640 was 107 00:03:55,990 --> 00:03:55,040 help divert pressure away from the 108 00:03:58,710 --> 00:03:56,000 government 109 00:03:59,990 --> 00:03:58,720 by providing a sort of front a program 110 00:04:01,830 --> 00:04:00,000 to give the appearance the government 111 00:04:03,190 --> 00:04:01,840 does care about the issue and is looking 112 00:04:04,789 --> 00:04:03,200 for it 113 00:04:06,470 --> 00:04:04,799 uh then that would be money spent in 114 00:04:08,309 --> 00:04:06,480 service of national security if 115 00:04:11,190 --> 00:04:08,319 technology is being withheld it could be 116 00:04:13,030 --> 00:04:11,200 very beneficial to us 117 00:04:14,710 --> 00:04:13,040 then they will justify that in the basis 118 00:04:17,030 --> 00:04:14,720 of national security 119 00:04:19,909 --> 00:04:17,040 so it's that simple now to the extent 120 00:04:22,550 --> 00:04:19,919 that the public accepts that explanation 121 00:04:23,510 --> 00:04:22,560 remains to be seen but the vast majority 122 00:04:24,870 --> 00:04:23,520 of people 123 00:04:26,710 --> 00:04:24,880 who are not 124 00:04:28,710 --> 00:04:26,720 aware of these 125 00:04:31,189 --> 00:04:28,720 how would you say 126 00:04:33,030 --> 00:04:31,199 um awkward 127 00:04:34,870 --> 00:04:33,040 uh aspects 128 00:04:36,150 --> 00:04:34,880 the public relations issues are only 129 00:04:38,070 --> 00:04:36,160 going to really be interested in what 130 00:04:39,110 --> 00:04:38,080 can you tell us now and what's going on 131 00:04:44,550 --> 00:04:39,120 and 132 00:04:46,070 --> 00:04:44,560 think that they will be addressed in 133 00:04:48,150 --> 00:04:46,080 various ways 134 00:04:51,189 --> 00:04:48,160 they will not pose initially a major 135 00:04:53,430 --> 00:04:51,199 issue for the united states government 136 00:04:54,950 --> 00:04:53,440 and and 137 00:04:57,909 --> 00:04:54,960 people will be looking 138 00:04:59,430 --> 00:04:57,919 forward not so much backward 139 00:05:00,550 --> 00:04:59,440 that's my belief that doesn't mean that 140 00:05:02,230 --> 00:05:00,560 it won't be awkward and it won't have 141 00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:02,240 there won't be a problem it is a serious 142 00:05:05,350 --> 00:05:03,680 public relations issue and there are 143 00:05:07,830 --> 00:05:05,360 questions to be asked but 144 00:05:10,950 --> 00:05:07,840 overall the disclosure event kind of 145 00:05:14,150 --> 00:05:10,960 overwhelms these concerns 146 00:05:16,070 --> 00:05:14,160 now do you think if if this disclosure 147 00:05:17,430 --> 00:05:16,080 uh came to fruition that it would have 148 00:05:18,629 --> 00:05:17,440 to be 149 00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:18,639 uh 150 00:05:22,310 --> 00:05:20,160 and there would have to be a lot of 151 00:05:24,950 --> 00:05:22,320 countries involved all at the same time 152 00:05:26,629 --> 00:05:24,960 i know that france has come out with 153 00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:26,639 something and recently the mexican 154 00:05:31,189 --> 00:05:28,720 government 155 00:05:32,310 --> 00:05:31,199 the air force actually showed video 156 00:05:34,070 --> 00:05:32,320 which was the first time that was 157 00:05:35,990 --> 00:05:34,080 actually released 158 00:05:38,150 --> 00:05:36,000 to the public 159 00:05:40,070 --> 00:05:38,160 so do you think that like all countries 160 00:05:41,909 --> 00:05:40,080 would have to come 161 00:05:44,629 --> 00:05:41,919 forward with us all at the same time for 162 00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:44,639 it to work properly 163 00:05:49,110 --> 00:05:47,600 no and that's not likely to happen 164 00:05:50,550 --> 00:05:49,120 many governments have been taking some 165 00:05:52,390 --> 00:05:50,560 actions which are 166 00:05:54,629 --> 00:05:52,400 advancing the disclosure process and 167 00:05:56,309 --> 00:05:54,639 putting pressure on the united states by 168 00:05:57,749 --> 00:05:56,319 not the least of which is releasing 169 00:05:59,990 --> 00:05:57,759 thousands of files into the public 170 00:06:01,670 --> 00:06:00,000 domain um there are probably been about 171 00:06:03,270 --> 00:06:01,680 30 countries that have taken one action 172 00:06:06,150 --> 00:06:03,280 or another but there's about 12 that 173 00:06:08,950 --> 00:06:06,160 have really done quite a bit in the last 174 00:06:12,150 --> 00:06:08,960 10 years including france the united 175 00:06:13,350 --> 00:06:12,160 kingdom canada denmark sweden 176 00:06:14,870 --> 00:06:13,360 and others some of the ones you 177 00:06:17,350 --> 00:06:14,880 mentioned but 178 00:06:18,870 --> 00:06:17,360 it's likely that disclosure 179 00:06:20,790 --> 00:06:18,880 this formal event this formal 180 00:06:22,309 --> 00:06:20,800 announcement will start with a single 181 00:06:24,390 --> 00:06:22,319 country 182 00:06:27,749 --> 00:06:24,400 the reason is is that 183 00:06:29,830 --> 00:06:27,759 it will be very difficult to coordinate 184 00:06:32,870 --> 00:06:29,840 say some sort of group 185 00:06:34,550 --> 00:06:32,880 announcement without risking a leak and 186 00:06:36,870 --> 00:06:34,560 i'm sure the united states government is 187 00:06:39,189 --> 00:06:36,880 very concerned that this might leak out 188 00:06:40,790 --> 00:06:39,199 ahead of time and create a kind of media 189 00:06:42,870 --> 00:06:40,800 frenzy 190 00:06:45,430 --> 00:06:42,880 uh which would force their hand they 191 00:06:47,670 --> 00:06:45,440 want to do it they want to do it clean 192 00:06:49,510 --> 00:06:47,680 they want to come forward yes this is it 193 00:06:51,510 --> 00:06:49,520 here is what's going on 194 00:06:52,870 --> 00:06:51,520 or we acknowledge the ct presence we'll 195 00:06:54,390 --> 00:06:52,880 be answering questions over time 196 00:06:55,909 --> 00:06:54,400 whatever but they don't want this thing 197 00:06:57,589 --> 00:06:55,919 to sort of be messy 198 00:07:00,309 --> 00:06:57,599 and to try to coordinate a number of 199 00:07:02,070 --> 00:07:00,319 nations on on an event of this magnitude 200 00:07:03,589 --> 00:07:02,080 without it suddenly getting out would be 201 00:07:06,070 --> 00:07:03,599 very hard 202 00:07:07,270 --> 00:07:06,080 so i anticipate a single country will 203 00:07:08,230 --> 00:07:07,280 act 204 00:07:10,150 --> 00:07:08,240 first 205 00:07:11,350 --> 00:07:10,160 the most likely one is still the united 206 00:07:13,430 --> 00:07:11,360 states but 207 00:07:15,270 --> 00:07:13,440 with the passage of time 208 00:07:17,510 --> 00:07:15,280 there's there's increasing prospect that 209 00:07:19,990 --> 00:07:17,520 another country will act first the 210 00:07:21,909 --> 00:07:20,000 united nations could do it but i do not 211 00:07:25,029 --> 00:07:21,919 think the united nations will be allowed 212 00:07:28,070 --> 00:07:25,039 to to do it it's also possible a major 213 00:07:30,710 --> 00:07:28,080 religious group like the catholic church 214 00:07:32,950 --> 00:07:30,720 could trigger this but again i don't 215 00:07:34,710 --> 00:07:32,960 think so because there are 216 00:07:37,670 --> 00:07:34,720 some reasons why that's probably not a 217 00:07:39,589 --> 00:07:37,680 good idea so the most likely scenario is 218 00:07:41,350 --> 00:07:39,599 a single country probably the united 219 00:07:42,830 --> 00:07:41,360 states will go before the public will 220 00:07:45,670 --> 00:07:42,840 acknowledge this 221 00:07:46,950 --> 00:07:45,680 reality probably present i don't know if 222 00:07:48,629 --> 00:07:46,960 they have to but they probably will 223 00:07:49,589 --> 00:07:48,639 present some evidence and cooperating 224 00:07:52,230 --> 00:07:49,599 evidence 225 00:07:55,270 --> 00:07:52,240 to make the point and then other nations 226 00:07:57,990 --> 00:07:55,280 will follow very quickly um 227 00:07:59,589 --> 00:07:58,000 the press will immediately on put 228 00:08:00,869 --> 00:07:59,599 questions before 229 00:08:03,270 --> 00:08:00,879 the uh 230 00:08:04,710 --> 00:08:03,280 the leaders of other nations within 231 00:08:07,270 --> 00:08:04,720 their own countries 232 00:08:09,189 --> 00:08:07,280 and they will have to respond and with 233 00:08:10,629 --> 00:08:09,199 the issue now out particularly if it's a 234 00:08:12,309 --> 00:08:10,639 major country like the us these other 235 00:08:14,309 --> 00:08:12,319 nations will follow and you'll just have 236 00:08:16,710 --> 00:08:14,319 one after another confirming that 237 00:08:19,270 --> 00:08:16,720 acknowledgement 238 00:08:21,990 --> 00:08:19,280 until there's 10 or 12 or 13. 239 00:08:24,150 --> 00:08:22,000 that's all it's really going to take 240 00:08:26,070 --> 00:08:24,160 right and it'll unfold that way this is 241 00:08:29,749 --> 00:08:26,080 the most likely scenario that i see 242 00:08:31,830 --> 00:08:29,759 happening okay now wikileaks um you know 243 00:08:34,230 --> 00:08:31,840 i've found online there's 244 00:08:36,310 --> 00:08:34,240 some correlation between wikileaks and 245 00:08:37,589 --> 00:08:36,320 ufo documents and things like that but i 246 00:08:39,670 --> 00:08:37,599 don't know 247 00:08:41,909 --> 00:08:39,680 what is true and what is not have you do 248 00:08:44,230 --> 00:08:41,919 you have any take on that nothing of any 249 00:08:45,990 --> 00:08:44,240 consequence regarding the et issue has 250 00:08:47,350 --> 00:08:46,000 come out of wikileaks there is 251 00:08:49,509 --> 00:08:47,360 speculation 252 00:08:51,590 --> 00:08:49,519 that they have received documents or 253 00:08:53,430 --> 00:08:51,600 they've received information 254 00:08:55,190 --> 00:08:53,440 it's very possible they have 255 00:08:57,670 --> 00:08:55,200 there were a couple of communiques that 256 00:08:59,509 --> 00:08:57,680 were included in the 257 00:09:02,630 --> 00:08:59,519 one of the major releases that they did 258 00:09:04,389 --> 00:09:02,640 that alluded to ufos in the context of i 259 00:09:06,829 --> 00:09:04,399 forget the nation involved but they were 260 00:09:09,750 --> 00:09:06,839 hardly significant 261 00:09:12,310 --> 00:09:09,760 wikileaks certainly has the potential to 262 00:09:14,070 --> 00:09:12,320 impact this issue now a great deal of 263 00:09:16,389 --> 00:09:14,080 information and documents and everything 264 00:09:19,269 --> 00:09:16,399 else has been out there for some time on 265 00:09:21,110 --> 00:09:19,279 websites all around the world um 266 00:09:23,509 --> 00:09:21,120 so wikileaks would have to come up with 267 00:09:26,310 --> 00:09:23,519 something new 268 00:09:28,550 --> 00:09:26,320 uh and and a good deal of it 269 00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:28,560 and publish it if they did 270 00:09:35,750 --> 00:09:30,080 it would 271 00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:35,760 closer to boiling without question 272 00:09:40,630 --> 00:09:38,080 but so far they haven't done it and 273 00:09:43,670 --> 00:09:40,640 i think mickey wikileaks knew that it 274 00:09:47,750 --> 00:09:43,680 was already in deep controversy of water 275 00:09:51,030 --> 00:09:47,760 from the outset and quickly made enemies 276 00:09:52,790 --> 00:09:51,040 amongst the major nations so their their 277 00:09:54,630 --> 00:09:52,800 plate was pretty full and i think that 278 00:09:56,389 --> 00:09:54,640 they probably were very concerned that 279 00:09:58,230 --> 00:09:56,399 if they were to bring out e.t stuff 280 00:10:00,150 --> 00:09:58,240 ufo-related stuff that it would 281 00:10:02,710 --> 00:10:00,160 undermine their 282 00:10:04,550 --> 00:10:02,720 overall credibility amongst the general 283 00:10:06,710 --> 00:10:04,560 population it would be a liability not 284 00:10:07,990 --> 00:10:06,720 an asset and there was plenty to to 285 00:10:10,069 --> 00:10:08,000 release so 286 00:10:12,389 --> 00:10:10,079 they have stayed away from this 287 00:10:14,870 --> 00:10:12,399 now of course the the governments were 288 00:10:16,949 --> 00:10:14,880 extremely angry about this and they've 289 00:10:19,910 --> 00:10:16,959 already made their counter-attacks 290 00:10:22,069 --> 00:10:19,920 against julian assange 291 00:10:24,310 --> 00:10:22,079 and they have tied wikileaks up a bit 292 00:10:26,550 --> 00:10:24,320 it's not getting the press it got it's 293 00:10:27,750 --> 00:10:26,560 not as active as it got they've created 294 00:10:31,670 --> 00:10:27,760 division 295 00:10:34,230 --> 00:10:31,680 uh by charging uh him with uh 296 00:10:36,150 --> 00:10:34,240 sex sexual misconduct in sweden right i 297 00:10:38,069 --> 00:10:36,160 believe those charges are utterly bogus 298 00:10:40,230 --> 00:10:38,079 and and that 299 00:10:43,110 --> 00:10:40,240 the other stuff being uh pressed at him 300 00:10:45,030 --> 00:10:43,120 or bogus that this is hardball this is 301 00:10:46,790 --> 00:10:45,040 nasty business 302 00:10:48,389 --> 00:10:46,800 in another time someone like julian 303 00:10:49,750 --> 00:10:48,399 assange would have been assassinated 304 00:10:52,389 --> 00:10:49,760 extremely 305 00:10:54,389 --> 00:10:52,399 quickly oh sure yeah but this is a 306 00:10:55,590 --> 00:10:54,399 different time and he he has gone very 307 00:10:56,790 --> 00:10:55,600 public so 308 00:10:59,990 --> 00:10:56,800 uh 309 00:11:01,750 --> 00:11:00,000 i am sure that that the ufo et issue is 310 00:11:03,269 --> 00:11:01,760 something that 311 00:11:04,389 --> 00:11:03,279 a lot of nations including the us 312 00:11:06,389 --> 00:11:04,399 government 313 00:11:08,150 --> 00:11:06,399 are very concerned could turn up on 314 00:11:09,190 --> 00:11:08,160 wikileaks but in order for that to 315 00:11:10,790 --> 00:11:09,200 happen 316 00:11:12,870 --> 00:11:10,800 some people are going to have to provide 317 00:11:14,550 --> 00:11:12,880 him a lot of or provide with illegal 318 00:11:16,389 --> 00:11:14,560 substantial documents that have not been 319 00:11:18,550 --> 00:11:16,399 seen before and if and if that would 320 00:11:20,389 --> 00:11:18,560 happen and they were then published 321 00:11:23,430 --> 00:11:20,399 there would be a 322 00:11:25,910 --> 00:11:23,440 definite effect uh is wikileaks capable 323 00:11:28,790 --> 00:11:25,920 of trigging disclosure outright not 324 00:11:30,949 --> 00:11:28,800 likely but they could set in motion 325 00:11:33,910 --> 00:11:30,959 uh some media activity that could lead 326 00:11:35,269 --> 00:11:33,920 to disclosure in in a period of time uh 327 00:11:36,710 --> 00:11:35,279 what one of the things going on right 328 00:11:38,230 --> 00:11:36,720 now is that 329 00:11:39,430 --> 00:11:38,240 documents 330 00:11:40,790 --> 00:11:39,440 uh 331 00:11:42,949 --> 00:11:40,800 relevant to the 332 00:11:45,509 --> 00:11:42,959 clinton administration are now 333 00:11:47,350 --> 00:11:45,519 accessible and are being accessed 334 00:11:49,670 --> 00:11:47,360 uh particularly by grant cameron the 335 00:11:53,030 --> 00:11:49,680 canadian researcher who has an important 336 00:11:54,949 --> 00:11:53,040 website presidential ufo.com 337 00:11:56,230 --> 00:11:54,959 uh and some of these documents could be 338 00:11:57,350 --> 00:11:56,240 could be helpful and relevant 339 00:12:00,069 --> 00:11:57,360 particularly with respect to the 340 00:12:04,150 --> 00:12:00,079 rockefeller initiative and 341 00:12:06,710 --> 00:12:04,160 foias are continuing to be filed but uh 342 00:12:09,269 --> 00:12:06,720 right now nothing major has come out 343 00:12:12,870 --> 00:12:09,279 that i'm aware of recently 344 00:12:15,430 --> 00:12:12,880 and the foia law is such that the 345 00:12:17,829 --> 00:12:15,440 government has not required to release 346 00:12:19,509 --> 00:12:17,839 anything it doesn't want to release 347 00:12:22,870 --> 00:12:19,519 so the fia 348 00:12:24,790 --> 00:12:22,880 is mostly just a procedural or a process 349 00:12:26,870 --> 00:12:24,800 law that that 350 00:12:28,310 --> 00:12:26,880 gives you an avenue to possibly to get 351 00:12:29,829 --> 00:12:28,320 some documents 352 00:12:32,150 --> 00:12:29,839 from government 353 00:12:34,629 --> 00:12:32,160 that you could also possibly get simply 354 00:12:37,030 --> 00:12:34,639 by going to the agency in question but 355 00:12:39,590 --> 00:12:37,040 the idea that the foia allows us to 356 00:12:42,710 --> 00:12:39,600 really get it get some some secret 357 00:12:45,030 --> 00:12:42,720 material and and and and uh 358 00:12:46,949 --> 00:12:45,040 controversial documents that would raise 359 00:12:48,710 --> 00:12:46,959 all kinds of important questions is 360 00:12:50,629 --> 00:12:48,720 bogus uh 361 00:12:52,949 --> 00:12:50,639 they can withhold at will under the 362 00:12:55,030 --> 00:12:52,959 under the guise of national security but 363 00:12:57,110 --> 00:12:55,040 it's better than nothing and it has been 364 00:12:58,470 --> 00:12:57,120 used and it has gotten documents from 365 00:13:01,110 --> 00:12:58,480 time to time 366 00:13:04,310 --> 00:13:01,120 uh there's been so many thousands of ufo 367 00:13:06,389 --> 00:13:04,320 fia filings that occasionally an 368 00:13:07,350 --> 00:13:06,399 agency will make a mistake 369 00:13:09,829 --> 00:13:07,360 and some will get released that 370 00:13:13,670 --> 00:13:09,839 shouldn't get released 371 00:13:16,550 --> 00:13:13,680 but the foia law to be truly a 372 00:13:19,190 --> 00:13:16,560 a public asset needs to be strengthened 373 00:13:21,990 --> 00:13:19,200 uh and i don't expect that anytime soon 374 00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:22,000 my normal co-host that's on the show 375 00:13:25,670 --> 00:13:24,480 couldn't be here today and he had a 376 00:13:28,629 --> 00:13:25,680 question 377 00:13:31,990 --> 00:13:28,639 for you he's more or less a skeptic but 378 00:13:34,550 --> 00:13:32,000 his question was based on if they 379 00:13:37,110 --> 00:13:34,560 if the government did disclose uh 380 00:13:39,110 --> 00:13:37,120 wouldn't there be panic as his question 381 00:13:43,829 --> 00:13:39,120 and another thing you know what would 382 00:13:46,389 --> 00:13:43,839 the religious implications be etc etc um 383 00:13:49,350 --> 00:13:46,399 what's your take on all that it's 384 00:13:50,629 --> 00:13:49,360 there's two things one a lot of this 385 00:13:52,710 --> 00:13:50,639 um 386 00:13:54,150 --> 00:13:52,720 concept of 387 00:13:55,990 --> 00:13:54,160 disclosure leading to panic and 388 00:13:58,069 --> 00:13:56,000 destruction of religion 389 00:13:59,750 --> 00:13:58,079 and economic systems what have you is 390 00:14:02,629 --> 00:13:59,760 propaganda that the government 391 00:14:04,150 --> 00:14:02,639 encouraged and probably even disbursed 392 00:14:07,030 --> 00:14:04,160 over the years to help maintain the 393 00:14:09,750 --> 00:14:07,040 truth embargo to help keep people 394 00:14:11,189 --> 00:14:09,760 satisfied with not wanting to know more 395 00:14:13,110 --> 00:14:11,199 the press from not 396 00:14:15,350 --> 00:14:13,120 engaging the issue and certainly for 397 00:14:17,829 --> 00:14:15,360 insiders not to go public 398 00:14:19,590 --> 00:14:17,839 to honor their agreements to not violate 399 00:14:21,509 --> 00:14:19,600 their their national security oaths and 400 00:14:23,829 --> 00:14:21,519 confidentiality agreements 401 00:14:25,430 --> 00:14:23,839 uh out of moral conscience because well 402 00:14:27,670 --> 00:14:25,440 look if you tell the truth you know 403 00:14:30,069 --> 00:14:27,680 civilization will collapse 404 00:14:32,870 --> 00:14:30,079 good strategy and i think it worked the 405 00:14:34,710 --> 00:14:32,880 second point is is that i think that 406 00:14:36,550 --> 00:14:34,720 certainly if the extraterrestrial 407 00:14:39,350 --> 00:14:36,560 presence had been 408 00:14:41,990 --> 00:14:39,360 acknowledged and almost was acknowledged 409 00:14:43,590 --> 00:14:42,000 uh in 47 410 00:14:45,110 --> 00:14:43,600 the roswell 411 00:14:46,069 --> 00:14:45,120 and people 412 00:14:48,389 --> 00:14:46,079 may not 413 00:14:49,750 --> 00:14:48,399 realize most people don't know all these 414 00:14:52,629 --> 00:14:49,760 most people do not know the details of 415 00:14:54,790 --> 00:14:52,639 roswell but the fact is is that 416 00:14:57,110 --> 00:14:54,800 if only 417 00:14:59,590 --> 00:14:57,120 another 24 hours had passed before they 418 00:15:01,430 --> 00:14:59,600 were able to get the second story out 419 00:15:04,710 --> 00:15:01,440 i think the roswell event would have led 420 00:15:06,310 --> 00:15:04,720 to disclosure right then in 1947 because 421 00:15:07,509 --> 00:15:06,320 quite a few reporters would have made 422 00:15:08,629 --> 00:15:07,519 their way to roswell and started 423 00:15:10,550 --> 00:15:08,639 interviewing witnesses and there were 424 00:15:11,910 --> 00:15:10,560 quite a few and 425 00:15:15,350 --> 00:15:11,920 i don't think they could have contained 426 00:15:18,710 --> 00:15:15,360 the story so it was a very close call 427 00:15:20,310 --> 00:15:18,720 if this had come out in 47 it would have 428 00:15:21,590 --> 00:15:20,320 been a challenge 429 00:15:23,509 --> 00:15:21,600 to 430 00:15:25,670 --> 00:15:23,519 amer american society let's just let's 431 00:15:26,710 --> 00:15:25,680 just focus on the united states uh 432 00:15:29,110 --> 00:15:26,720 clearly 433 00:15:31,030 --> 00:15:29,120 it would have been stunning uh it would 434 00:15:33,110 --> 00:15:31,040 have been concerning plus would just 435 00:15:34,629 --> 00:15:33,120 come out of a war 436 00:15:37,590 --> 00:15:34,639 and people would have been in that 437 00:15:38,550 --> 00:15:37,600 mindset okay well is this the new enemy 438 00:15:40,870 --> 00:15:38,560 are we gonna have to fight the 439 00:15:42,389 --> 00:15:40,880 extraterrestrials now uh it would have 440 00:15:44,389 --> 00:15:42,399 been a bit more challenging on the other 441 00:15:45,350 --> 00:15:44,399 hand the american people had just gone 442 00:15:46,550 --> 00:15:45,360 through 443 00:15:48,389 --> 00:15:46,560 a long 444 00:15:50,790 --> 00:15:48,399 massive war 445 00:15:54,870 --> 00:15:51,910 stood up 446 00:15:55,670 --> 00:15:54,880 they handled that um 447 00:15:57,269 --> 00:15:55,680 so 448 00:15:58,790 --> 00:15:57,279 i i you know they're pretty resilient 449 00:16:00,470 --> 00:15:58,800 this was a time in america was pretty 450 00:16:02,710 --> 00:16:00,480 resilient in my view 451 00:16:04,150 --> 00:16:02,720 a little less complicated i i i think 452 00:16:06,150 --> 00:16:04,160 that frankly they would have handled it 453 00:16:08,470 --> 00:16:06,160 a fine religion 454 00:16:10,790 --> 00:16:08,480 is going to be fine it's it's not going 455 00:16:13,189 --> 00:16:10,800 anywhere uh it's been around a long time 456 00:16:14,470 --> 00:16:13,199 and it's very it's somewhat adaptable 457 00:16:16,790 --> 00:16:14,480 certainly 458 00:16:18,470 --> 00:16:16,800 so i've always stated that i think 459 00:16:19,590 --> 00:16:18,480 religious memberships will go up after 460 00:16:21,670 --> 00:16:19,600 disclosure 461 00:16:22,389 --> 00:16:21,680 but at the time that the truth embargo 462 00:16:27,030 --> 00:16:22,399 was 463 00:16:29,189 --> 00:16:27,040 it would given the fact that this this 464 00:16:30,470 --> 00:16:29,199 idea of extraterrestrials was 465 00:16:33,110 --> 00:16:30,480 very much 466 00:16:34,949 --> 00:16:33,120 and i make the pun deliberately alien to 467 00:16:36,949 --> 00:16:34,959 the vast majority of people in this 468 00:16:39,189 --> 00:16:36,959 country i mean they just simply off the 469 00:16:41,269 --> 00:16:39,199 outside their their spectrum would have 470 00:16:43,749 --> 00:16:41,279 been a shock uh but i would make the 471 00:16:45,189 --> 00:16:43,759 case that we would have adapted pretty 472 00:16:46,949 --> 00:16:45,199 quickly and 473 00:16:48,150 --> 00:16:46,959 and we would have accepted it 474 00:16:49,509 --> 00:16:48,160 and uh 475 00:16:52,870 --> 00:16:49,519 and we would have asked our government 476 00:16:54,710 --> 00:16:52,880 to address it and keep us informed and 477 00:16:56,069 --> 00:16:54,720 we would start to start educating 478 00:16:57,910 --> 00:16:56,079 ourselves but of course the government 479 00:17:00,069 --> 00:16:57,920 had another problem it wasn't just what 480 00:17:02,150 --> 00:17:00,079 the american people's reaction would be 481 00:17:05,270 --> 00:17:02,160 they had the the they were in the early 482 00:17:06,710 --> 00:17:05,280 stages of what would be the cold war and 483 00:17:08,789 --> 00:17:06,720 they were very much concerned that there 484 00:17:10,470 --> 00:17:08,799 could be a nuclear war with the soviet 485 00:17:12,390 --> 00:17:10,480 union there was certainly concern there 486 00:17:14,230 --> 00:17:12,400 would be a war with the soviet union in 487 00:17:16,710 --> 00:17:14,240 fact there were quite a few american 488 00:17:19,189 --> 00:17:16,720 military people that wanted to go to war 489 00:17:21,270 --> 00:17:19,199 with the soviet union immediately 490 00:17:23,029 --> 00:17:21,280 and it would very well be nuclear 491 00:17:24,150 --> 00:17:23,039 because they knew about the soviet 492 00:17:27,510 --> 00:17:24,160 nuclear 493 00:17:29,029 --> 00:17:27,520 uh research how far the how the the 494 00:17:31,270 --> 00:17:29,039 progress they made 495 00:17:33,110 --> 00:17:31,280 both in nuclear weapons as well as 496 00:17:35,190 --> 00:17:33,120 ballistic missiles so 497 00:17:37,350 --> 00:17:35,200 they had a real tough situation but this 498 00:17:38,950 --> 00:17:37,360 is now 60 years later 499 00:17:40,230 --> 00:17:38,960 and uh 500 00:17:41,669 --> 00:17:40,240 hundreds of films about 501 00:17:43,830 --> 00:17:41,679 extraterrestrials 502 00:17:44,870 --> 00:17:43,840 have been made some of the most popular 503 00:17:46,630 --> 00:17:44,880 ever 504 00:17:48,070 --> 00:17:46,640 produced 505 00:17:49,350 --> 00:17:48,080 the awareness of the issue is almost 506 00:17:52,310 --> 00:17:49,360 universal 507 00:17:53,590 --> 00:17:52,320 the idea of an extraterrestrial is is 508 00:17:56,390 --> 00:17:53,600 not even a 509 00:17:58,070 --> 00:17:56,400 most people don't give a second thought 510 00:17:59,750 --> 00:17:58,080 half the american people and most of the 511 00:18:02,549 --> 00:17:59,760 industrialized nations 512 00:18:03,350 --> 00:18:02,559 believe that the et's are here in fact 513 00:18:06,310 --> 00:18:03,360 so 514 00:18:10,070 --> 00:18:06,320 again i do not think the 515 00:18:15,430 --> 00:18:12,470 or there will be any massive 516 00:18:16,549 --> 00:18:15,440 disruption of our major institutions you 517 00:18:19,750 --> 00:18:16,559 know 518 00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:19,760 the thing i believe is also there's a 519 00:18:24,789 --> 00:18:22,160 lot of people that have had a situation 520 00:18:26,150 --> 00:18:24,799 like myself where i actually saw 521 00:18:29,909 --> 00:18:26,160 something 522 00:18:31,990 --> 00:18:29,919 and my first thought is i have this fear 523 00:18:32,630 --> 00:18:32,000 of ridicule so i don't really talk about 524 00:18:34,630 --> 00:18:32,640 it 525 00:18:36,549 --> 00:18:34,640 and i'm wondering you know how many 526 00:18:37,510 --> 00:18:36,559 people out there have had a situation 527 00:18:39,510 --> 00:18:37,520 happen 528 00:18:41,669 --> 00:18:39,520 that they're they feel the same way 529 00:18:43,350 --> 00:18:41,679 because it's uh it just follows well 530 00:18:45,029 --> 00:18:43,360 certainly uh 531 00:18:46,950 --> 00:18:45,039 one of the key aspects of the truth 532 00:18:49,190 --> 00:18:46,960 embargo was to 533 00:18:51,190 --> 00:18:49,200 ridicule the phenomena 534 00:18:53,350 --> 00:18:51,200 ridicule the people that that addressed 535 00:18:56,070 --> 00:18:53,360 the phenomena to literally ghettoize it 536 00:18:58,150 --> 00:18:56,080 i call it an intellectual ghettoization 537 00:18:59,750 --> 00:18:58,160 which was very effective so that people 538 00:19:03,750 --> 00:18:59,760 would be embarrassed to talk about it 539 00:19:05,830 --> 00:19:03,760 embarrassed to certainly put money into 540 00:19:08,150 --> 00:19:05,840 research or activism 541 00:19:09,990 --> 00:19:08,160 the press would be reluctant to cover it 542 00:19:12,150 --> 00:19:10,000 this is this happens all the time in 543 00:19:13,350 --> 00:19:12,160 societies uh it's a very effective tool 544 00:19:15,110 --> 00:19:13,360 of government 545 00:19:17,990 --> 00:19:15,120 uh they can ghettoize people they can 546 00:19:20,230 --> 00:19:18,000 ghettoize ideas organizations 547 00:19:21,990 --> 00:19:20,240 they can even get otherwise uh 548 00:19:23,510 --> 00:19:22,000 a whole area of science if they want to 549 00:19:25,270 --> 00:19:23,520 it's a nasty business we should never 550 00:19:27,430 --> 00:19:25,280 have that happen in the united states uh 551 00:19:29,430 --> 00:19:27,440 we should never have it happen again 552 00:19:30,870 --> 00:19:29,440 but that's up to the people if they if 553 00:19:32,710 --> 00:19:30,880 they want to see that stop they need to 554 00:19:35,510 --> 00:19:32,720 make their their 555 00:19:39,110 --> 00:19:35,520 intentions the desires heard but 556 00:19:39,909 --> 00:19:39,120 uh it was very effective so ridicule 557 00:19:41,510 --> 00:19:39,919 kept 558 00:19:42,710 --> 00:19:41,520 a great number of people pretty much 559 00:19:46,630 --> 00:19:42,720 contained 560 00:19:49,029 --> 00:19:46,640 uh but that's changing rapidly about 561 00:19:50,710 --> 00:19:49,039 20 of the american people when polled 562 00:19:52,789 --> 00:19:50,720 say they've had some a sighting of some 563 00:19:53,750 --> 00:19:52,799 consequence 564 00:19:59,110 --> 00:19:53,760 and 565 00:20:01,669 --> 00:19:59,120 percent depending upon the nature of the 566 00:20:03,350 --> 00:20:01,679 question indicate again anonymously that 567 00:20:05,350 --> 00:20:03,360 they they believe they've had contact 568 00:20:07,909 --> 00:20:05,360 with extraterrestrials extraordinary 569 00:20:10,549 --> 00:20:07,919 number uh and of course everybody knows 570 00:20:12,710 --> 00:20:10,559 uh what we're talking about there's 100 571 00:20:13,830 --> 00:20:12,720 cultural 572 00:20:16,390 --> 00:20:13,840 awareness 573 00:20:18,470 --> 00:20:16,400 of the idea of extraterrestrials and of 574 00:20:22,789 --> 00:20:18,480 ufos so 575 00:20:25,909 --> 00:20:22,799 given that it's less and less of a of a 576 00:20:28,070 --> 00:20:25,919 peer pressure issue to come forward 577 00:20:30,070 --> 00:20:28,080 however within a person's 578 00:20:31,909 --> 00:20:30,080 personal life 579 00:20:34,390 --> 00:20:31,919 uh one can definitely get some ridicule 580 00:20:35,909 --> 00:20:34,400 from some family members or a friend or 581 00:20:37,669 --> 00:20:35,919 two 582 00:20:40,390 --> 00:20:37,679 and so uh 583 00:20:43,190 --> 00:20:40,400 you can experience it but 584 00:20:46,149 --> 00:20:43,200 even then i don't think it's it's of a 585 00:20:48,310 --> 00:20:46,159 of a drastic nature because the issue is 586 00:20:50,070 --> 00:20:48,320 simply too much in play now so somebody 587 00:20:51,110 --> 00:20:50,080 might kid you about it they might joke a 588 00:20:52,549 --> 00:20:51,120 little bit 589 00:20:54,950 --> 00:20:52,559 but the idea that they would kind of 590 00:20:57,190 --> 00:20:54,960 dismiss you as being crazy or or really 591 00:20:59,590 --> 00:20:57,200 look down on you this is really just 592 00:21:00,470 --> 00:20:59,600 less the case there are people coming 593 00:21:02,070 --> 00:21:00,480 forward 594 00:21:04,390 --> 00:21:02,080 in the entertainment industry that are 595 00:21:05,830 --> 00:21:04,400 now talking about it more often uh in 596 00:21:06,870 --> 00:21:05,840 addressing it you'll see much more of 597 00:21:08,149 --> 00:21:06,880 that 598 00:21:09,750 --> 00:21:08,159 and of course there have been many 599 00:21:11,750 --> 00:21:09,760 witnesses 600 00:21:13,750 --> 00:21:11,760 and government people such as astronauts 601 00:21:16,070 --> 00:21:13,760 mitchell and cooper and others who are 602 00:21:18,470 --> 00:21:16,080 speaking directly to it their view their 603 00:21:20,870 --> 00:21:18,480 videos are all over youtube 604 00:21:23,590 --> 00:21:20,880 uh so and other politics politicians and 605 00:21:24,950 --> 00:21:23,600 others so again we're coming out of the 606 00:21:26,870 --> 00:21:24,960 truth we're coming out of the 607 00:21:28,950 --> 00:21:26,880 intellectual ghetto process we're coming 608 00:21:31,750 --> 00:21:28,960 out of the truth embargo process 609 00:21:33,830 --> 00:21:31,760 uh the truth embargo is coming apart and 610 00:21:35,669 --> 00:21:33,840 so i i just don't think there's much 611 00:21:37,909 --> 00:21:35,679 risk to anybody addressing this issue 612 00:21:40,149 --> 00:21:37,919 now there are aspects of this phenomena 613 00:21:43,029 --> 00:21:40,159 and there are theories uh 614 00:21:45,510 --> 00:21:43,039 embedded in this phenomena or related to 615 00:21:46,390 --> 00:21:45,520 it that are really outrageous and out 616 00:21:53,190 --> 00:21:46,400 there 617 00:21:55,270 --> 00:21:53,200 far enough out of the box if you get far 618 00:21:57,029 --> 00:21:55,280 enough outside the box even with this 619 00:21:58,310 --> 00:21:57,039 issue or any other issue 620 00:22:00,870 --> 00:21:58,320 yeah you're going to get some negative 621 00:22:02,470 --> 00:22:00,880 feedback and you could be ridiculed 622 00:22:03,990 --> 00:22:02,480 but 623 00:22:06,390 --> 00:22:04,000 the fundamental issue is are there 624 00:22:09,190 --> 00:22:06,400 extraterrestrials here or not 625 00:22:10,789 --> 00:22:09,200 right and that is that's pretty basic 626 00:22:12,549 --> 00:22:10,799 it's not complicated they're here 627 00:22:14,390 --> 00:22:12,559 they're not and the evidence is 628 00:22:17,510 --> 00:22:14,400 overwhelming that they are 629 00:22:20,149 --> 00:22:17,520 so if one stays close to home there and 630 00:22:21,029 --> 00:22:20,159 speaks in those terms i had a sighting 631 00:22:24,230 --> 00:22:21,039 uh 632 00:22:27,990 --> 00:22:24,240 i i i may be a contact he by and large 633 00:22:30,310 --> 00:22:28,000 again it's it's less less of an issue 634 00:22:32,070 --> 00:22:30,320 now the the one thing that always seems 635 00:22:34,470 --> 00:22:32,080 to come up in this 636 00:22:36,870 --> 00:22:34,480 when people talk about this is okay you 637 00:22:39,590 --> 00:22:36,880 know the nearest star 638 00:22:41,270 --> 00:22:39,600 you know is what four four and a half 639 00:22:43,909 --> 00:22:41,280 light years away 640 00:22:45,270 --> 00:22:43,919 how how on earth you know do they get 641 00:22:49,350 --> 00:22:45,280 here and i know there's all kinds of 642 00:22:52,470 --> 00:22:49,360 theories on that um but um and also 643 00:22:54,390 --> 00:22:52,480 uh we're thinking in the terms that we 644 00:22:55,909 --> 00:22:54,400 know of course 645 00:22:58,070 --> 00:22:55,919 uh you know where and these 646 00:23:00,870 --> 00:22:58,080 civilizations and other 647 00:23:03,590 --> 00:23:00,880 planets and other galaxies even you know 648 00:23:05,830 --> 00:23:03,600 could possibly be a billion years 649 00:23:08,230 --> 00:23:05,840 advanced because we're such a young 650 00:23:09,830 --> 00:23:08,240 solar system in a young planet that 651 00:23:11,350 --> 00:23:09,840 doesn't have to be a billion a thousand 652 00:23:13,350 --> 00:23:11,360 would be more than enough yeah that's 653 00:23:15,990 --> 00:23:13,360 true right this situation is exactly 654 00:23:18,070 --> 00:23:16,000 analogous to someone making a statement 655 00:23:19,590 --> 00:23:18,080 say back in 1850 656 00:23:20,470 --> 00:23:19,600 that how could we possibly go to the 657 00:23:21,990 --> 00:23:20,480 moon 658 00:23:23,590 --> 00:23:22,000 right or even how could how could 659 00:23:27,029 --> 00:23:23,600 someone fly 660 00:23:29,029 --> 00:23:27,039 at high speeds hundreds of miles an hour 661 00:23:30,710 --> 00:23:29,039 uh the fact is they couldn't back then 662 00:23:32,230 --> 00:23:30,720 because they didn't have the technology 663 00:23:33,669 --> 00:23:32,240 and we don't know how we could go to 664 00:23:36,070 --> 00:23:33,679 another star because we don't have the 665 00:23:37,590 --> 00:23:36,080 technology and these ets do it's this 666 00:23:39,110 --> 00:23:37,600 that simple 667 00:23:41,269 --> 00:23:39,120 um 668 00:23:42,950 --> 00:23:41,279 it is the case that our current 669 00:23:44,870 --> 00:23:42,960 understanding of 670 00:23:48,149 --> 00:23:44,880 time and space is heavily relativistic 671 00:23:49,350 --> 00:23:48,159 relativity dominated and the relativity 672 00:23:52,950 --> 00:23:49,360 theory 673 00:23:55,029 --> 00:23:52,960 uh seems to preclude uh travel between 674 00:23:58,549 --> 00:23:55,039 uh two star systems 675 00:24:01,110 --> 00:23:58,559 and any reasonable length of time 676 00:24:05,190 --> 00:24:01,120 but even our own physics is starting to 677 00:24:07,909 --> 00:24:05,200 show that that ain't necessarily so 678 00:24:09,430 --> 00:24:07,919 so yeah we don't know the full we don't 679 00:24:11,590 --> 00:24:09,440 have a full understanding of the physics 680 00:24:12,470 --> 00:24:11,600 of the cosmos 681 00:24:15,029 --> 00:24:12,480 uh 682 00:24:16,630 --> 00:24:15,039 and so the idea that it could be 683 00:24:19,830 --> 00:24:16,640 physically possible to go between two 684 00:24:22,950 --> 00:24:19,840 stars absolutely cannot be precluded 685 00:24:25,510 --> 00:24:22,960 and if you if you want to test 686 00:24:27,590 --> 00:24:25,520 that that assertion that is possible to 687 00:24:28,870 --> 00:24:27,600 go you would to one star to another in a 688 00:24:30,710 --> 00:24:28,880 reason amount of time the first thing 689 00:24:33,269 --> 00:24:30,720 you do would be look for evidence of of 690 00:24:35,190 --> 00:24:33,279 any anyone doing that uh that would be 691 00:24:36,470 --> 00:24:35,200 pretty obvious i mean 692 00:24:38,390 --> 00:24:36,480 it's one you know you don't you don't 693 00:24:40,789 --> 00:24:38,400 necessarily have to prove how it's done 694 00:24:43,110 --> 00:24:40,799 just see if it is being done and that 695 00:24:46,310 --> 00:24:43,120 that makes the case and when you look 696 00:24:48,789 --> 00:24:46,320 for evidence of visitation uh it's all 697 00:24:51,909 --> 00:24:48,799 over the place now that just because 698 00:24:53,750 --> 00:24:51,919 et's are here doesn't necessarily mean 699 00:24:55,269 --> 00:24:53,760 that they are start that they have got 700 00:24:56,390 --> 00:24:55,279 the ability to travel between star 701 00:24:58,310 --> 00:24:56,400 systems 702 00:25:00,149 --> 00:24:58,320 in a reasonable amount of time 703 00:25:02,390 --> 00:25:00,159 there is a possibility that they're 704 00:25:05,350 --> 00:25:02,400 coming from another dimension another 705 00:25:07,750 --> 00:25:05,360 parallel reality that is 706 00:25:09,510 --> 00:25:07,760 nearby that doesn't even involve 707 00:25:11,590 --> 00:25:09,520 star travel or they could come from the 708 00:25:12,789 --> 00:25:11,600 future or the past it could be time 709 00:25:14,870 --> 00:25:12,799 travelers 710 00:25:19,269 --> 00:25:14,880 these are possibilities but they happen 711 00:25:20,870 --> 00:25:19,279 to just be very low uh possibilities and 712 00:25:22,630 --> 00:25:20,880 the most logical 713 00:25:24,549 --> 00:25:22,640 the most 714 00:25:26,830 --> 00:25:24,559 straightforward explanation is they come 715 00:25:30,149 --> 00:25:26,840 from other planets i mean this is 716 00:25:31,669 --> 00:25:30,159 straightforward and so either 717 00:25:35,110 --> 00:25:31,679 they 718 00:25:37,669 --> 00:25:35,120 spend enormous amounts of time in space 719 00:25:39,190 --> 00:25:37,679 and move around over huge numbers of 720 00:25:40,630 --> 00:25:39,200 years and centuries and millennia 721 00:25:42,950 --> 00:25:40,640 between places 722 00:25:44,549 --> 00:25:42,960 or they're able to get back and forth 723 00:25:46,149 --> 00:25:44,559 using a different kind of physics that's 724 00:25:47,430 --> 00:25:46,159 about what you're left with 725 00:25:50,630 --> 00:25:47,440 and 726 00:25:51,430 --> 00:25:50,640 i have pretty i do have some scientific 727 00:25:53,029 --> 00:25:51,440 uh 728 00:25:55,510 --> 00:25:53,039 training i do have a degree in physics 729 00:25:59,269 --> 00:25:55,520 i'm not alien to that kind of thinking 730 00:26:01,190 --> 00:25:59,279 uh and i i have high confidence my my 731 00:26:02,789 --> 00:26:01,200 view my model for this is pretty 732 00:26:04,310 --> 00:26:02,799 straightforward i believe there are 733 00:26:07,029 --> 00:26:04,320 other planets that have other 734 00:26:09,350 --> 00:26:07,039 civilizations like ours and that they 735 00:26:11,590 --> 00:26:09,360 are more advanced with better technology 736 00:26:14,390 --> 00:26:11,600 and they are in fact able to travel to 737 00:26:15,669 --> 00:26:14,400 stars between stars and do so in a 738 00:26:17,750 --> 00:26:15,679 manner that 739 00:26:18,870 --> 00:26:17,760 is 740 00:26:20,710 --> 00:26:18,880 functional 741 00:26:22,630 --> 00:26:20,720 and useful 742 00:26:24,470 --> 00:26:22,640 and that some of them are engaging us 743 00:26:28,390 --> 00:26:24,480 they are visiting here 744 00:26:31,269 --> 00:26:28,400 it's that straightforward uh and 745 00:26:32,710 --> 00:26:31,279 uh beyond that 746 00:26:34,870 --> 00:26:32,720 you know that's about as far as we can 747 00:26:37,350 --> 00:26:34,880 go right now right i don't think it'll 748 00:26:39,430 --> 00:26:37,360 be that long before we will know even if 749 00:26:42,470 --> 00:26:39,440 we don't have disclosure even if the 750 00:26:44,630 --> 00:26:42,480 et's don't provide us the explanation if 751 00:26:47,350 --> 00:26:44,640 they haven't already i believe on our 752 00:26:49,510 --> 00:26:47,360 own we will probably figure out 753 00:26:51,669 --> 00:26:49,520 interstellar travel 754 00:26:52,390 --> 00:26:51,679 within 50 years 755 00:26:54,070 --> 00:26:52,400 wow 756 00:26:56,149 --> 00:26:54,080 that would be something and i don't 757 00:26:58,390 --> 00:26:56,159 doubt that the way technology 758 00:27:00,470 --> 00:26:58,400 is just uh you know like a snowball 759 00:27:01,750 --> 00:27:00,480 rolling downhill you know gathering all 760 00:27:03,590 --> 00:27:01,760 the time 761 00:27:06,390 --> 00:27:03,600 i want to talk a little bit about i 762 00:27:07,990 --> 00:27:06,400 about 20 years ago i had an insurance 763 00:27:09,909 --> 00:27:08,000 life insurance agent 764 00:27:12,630 --> 00:27:09,919 and he was 765 00:27:14,710 --> 00:27:12,640 hanging on my house one day and he i 766 00:27:16,950 --> 00:27:14,720 don't know how we got on the subject but 767 00:27:19,190 --> 00:27:16,960 he brought up the fact that he was 768 00:27:21,750 --> 00:27:19,200 involved in a special 769 00:27:22,870 --> 00:27:21,760 task in the air force during vietnam and 770 00:27:30,630 --> 00:27:22,880 it was 771 00:27:32,549 --> 00:27:30,640 blue book but i think that was 772 00:27:34,789 --> 00:27:32,559 i think that stopped in the 60s didn't 773 00:27:36,630 --> 00:27:34,799 it i'm not i'm not clear that was an 774 00:27:39,190 --> 00:27:36,640 investigation program when they were in 775 00:27:41,669 --> 00:27:39,200 quote investigating sightings 776 00:27:44,310 --> 00:27:41,679 okay well he was involved in 777 00:27:45,110 --> 00:27:44,320 he was involved in vietnam itself 778 00:27:47,990 --> 00:27:45,120 and 779 00:27:49,750 --> 00:27:48,000 his uh he was saying that anywhere he 780 00:27:51,029 --> 00:27:49,760 said when they were when there was 781 00:27:52,549 --> 00:27:51,039 napalming i don't know if you've ever 782 00:27:54,470 --> 00:27:52,559 heard this before if anyone else has 783 00:27:56,470 --> 00:27:54,480 ever said it but he told me when they 784 00:27:57,830 --> 00:27:56,480 were napalming that there were sightings 785 00:27:59,830 --> 00:27:57,840 all the time 786 00:28:01,110 --> 00:27:59,840 during the napalming which is 787 00:28:02,950 --> 00:28:01,120 unusual and he said that they were 788 00:28:04,549 --> 00:28:02,960 attracted to you know he 789 00:28:06,070 --> 00:28:04,559 that was the first time i had ever heard 790 00:28:08,950 --> 00:28:06,080 of anything about them being attracted 791 00:28:09,909 --> 00:28:08,960 to like nuclear arms weapons and things 792 00:28:11,990 --> 00:28:09,919 like that 793 00:28:14,789 --> 00:28:12,000 and he said you know i asked him the 794 00:28:17,110 --> 00:28:14,799 question i said so you were part of this 795 00:28:19,909 --> 00:28:17,120 task force or whatever it was 796 00:28:21,269 --> 00:28:19,919 um and i says what's what's the bottom 797 00:28:23,190 --> 00:28:21,279 line are they really here and he says 798 00:28:25,430 --> 00:28:23,200 yes and the government knows that and 799 00:28:26,950 --> 00:28:25,440 this was you know 20 years ago he told 800 00:28:29,750 --> 00:28:26,960 me that and 801 00:28:31,669 --> 00:28:29,760 you know i've recently just got more 802 00:28:34,070 --> 00:28:31,679 interested in this since i had a 803 00:28:35,990 --> 00:28:34,080 situation happen a number of years ago 804 00:28:38,470 --> 00:28:36,000 and one of the questions that comes to 805 00:28:40,710 --> 00:28:38,480 mind for me is when you get 806 00:28:41,990 --> 00:28:40,720 let's see in bent waters in england in 807 00:28:43,590 --> 00:28:42,000 1980 808 00:28:46,549 --> 00:28:43,600 when you get such 809 00:28:48,950 --> 00:28:46,559 you get all these air force personnel 810 00:28:51,510 --> 00:28:48,960 uh and you all actually have a staff 811 00:28:54,310 --> 00:28:51,520 sergeant i think it's uh james penning 812 00:28:56,789 --> 00:28:54,320 pennington or something like that 813 00:28:57,510 --> 00:28:56,799 actually walked around the craft touched 814 00:28:59,190 --> 00:28:57,520 it 815 00:29:01,269 --> 00:28:59,200 he would as far as i know he'd probably 816 00:29:03,269 --> 00:29:01,279 be the only one that ever touched one uh 817 00:29:05,590 --> 00:29:03,279 and then wrote down the hieroglyphics 818 00:29:07,750 --> 00:29:05,600 that were on it and and all that now 819 00:29:09,909 --> 00:29:07,760 these are these are not just you know 820 00:29:12,070 --> 00:29:09,919 random people for reciting there was 821 00:29:13,669 --> 00:29:12,080 something like 80 people that saw this 822 00:29:15,990 --> 00:29:13,679 within a three-day 823 00:29:17,669 --> 00:29:16,000 time period and then you know again it 824 00:29:19,830 --> 00:29:17,679 swept under the rug the whole thing is 825 00:29:24,389 --> 00:29:19,840 swept under the rug 826 00:29:27,029 --> 00:29:24,399 a precise enough phrase 827 00:29:29,990 --> 00:29:27,039 the fact is is that a substantial number 828 00:29:33,110 --> 00:29:30,000 of people that serve the military 829 00:29:36,789 --> 00:29:33,120 and also agencies have come forward 830 00:29:37,669 --> 00:29:36,799 uh to testify to events and evidence 831 00:29:40,149 --> 00:29:37,679 that 832 00:29:41,909 --> 00:29:40,159 all of which is confirmatory of the et 833 00:29:44,630 --> 00:29:41,919 presence 834 00:29:45,990 --> 00:29:44,640 uh including a number of of uh air force 835 00:29:47,750 --> 00:29:46,000 personnel who were involved in our 836 00:29:49,029 --> 00:29:47,760 nuclear 837 00:29:50,630 --> 00:29:49,039 deterrence 838 00:29:52,149 --> 00:29:50,640 with high classification including 839 00:29:55,430 --> 00:29:52,159 people that worked at 840 00:29:57,990 --> 00:29:55,440 sac nuclear bases uh talking about the 841 00:29:59,510 --> 00:29:58,000 uh these craft interfering coming down 842 00:30:01,110 --> 00:29:59,520 and then interference taking place with 843 00:30:02,470 --> 00:30:01,120 our nuclear weapons which is a pretty 844 00:30:04,389 --> 00:30:02,480 big deal 845 00:30:05,909 --> 00:30:04,399 yeah recently there was a recently there 846 00:30:09,430 --> 00:30:05,919 was a press conference that effect in 847 00:30:11,990 --> 00:30:09,440 washington uh and the major press 848 00:30:13,029 --> 00:30:12,000 again skirted it they didn't 849 00:30:15,110 --> 00:30:13,039 there was some press there was some 850 00:30:16,789 --> 00:30:15,120 media coverage but it wasn't anywhere 851 00:30:17,669 --> 00:30:16,799 near the appropriate 852 00:30:19,990 --> 00:30:17,679 uh 853 00:30:22,710 --> 00:30:20,000 amount and and intensity that you would 854 00:30:24,230 --> 00:30:22,720 expect on a story like this and the 855 00:30:25,750 --> 00:30:24,240 bentwater's case there are quite a few 856 00:30:28,549 --> 00:30:25,760 witnesses that have testified there that 857 00:30:29,510 --> 00:30:28,559 was another very likely another nuclear 858 00:30:35,909 --> 00:30:29,520 uh 859 00:30:38,070 --> 00:30:35,919 reflects the truth embargo the the media 860 00:30:39,350 --> 00:30:38,080 went along with the truth embargo 861 00:30:41,909 --> 00:30:39,360 without i think 862 00:30:44,470 --> 00:30:41,919 any resistance or much resistance in the 863 00:30:45,750 --> 00:30:44,480 40s and 50s when the media as we know it 864 00:30:47,909 --> 00:30:45,760 was 865 00:30:49,190 --> 00:30:47,919 infant dissidents infants 866 00:30:50,789 --> 00:30:49,200 incipient 867 00:30:52,710 --> 00:30:50,799 the three networks haven't been around 868 00:30:55,029 --> 00:30:52,720 for very long when roswell happens the 869 00:30:56,950 --> 00:30:55,039 first network news broadcast of 15 870 00:30:59,830 --> 00:30:56,960 minutes occurred about two weeks before 871 00:31:02,230 --> 00:30:59,840 roswell really wow we had our dependence 872 00:31:03,750 --> 00:31:02,240 was primarily on major newspaper dailies 873 00:31:05,350 --> 00:31:03,760 and there were a number of papers that 874 00:31:07,110 --> 00:31:05,360 were papers of records so if they got 875 00:31:09,669 --> 00:31:07,120 the papers of record like the washington 876 00:31:11,430 --> 00:31:09,679 post new york times early times on board 877 00:31:13,590 --> 00:31:11,440 and the networks on board they they were 878 00:31:15,350 --> 00:31:13,600 able to maintain a media containment 879 00:31:17,990 --> 00:31:15,360 without any problem 880 00:31:20,470 --> 00:31:18,000 uh the cold war ensured that the media 881 00:31:23,350 --> 00:31:20,480 would continue to play along with the 882 00:31:24,230 --> 00:31:23,360 truth embargo uh you know it wasn't hard 883 00:31:29,350 --> 00:31:24,240 to 884 00:31:30,830 --> 00:31:29,360 uh this issue was highly 885 00:31:35,190 --> 00:31:30,840 uh 886 00:31:37,750 --> 00:31:35,200 implicative that it were to come out it 887 00:31:39,990 --> 00:31:37,760 would clearly be destabilizing for a 888 00:31:42,870 --> 00:31:40,000 while and we have thousands of nuclear 889 00:31:44,710 --> 00:31:42,880 warheads pointed over the poles 890 00:31:46,870 --> 00:31:44,720 that go off at any time not to mention 891 00:31:48,950 --> 00:31:46,880 the submarines and and so we just can't 892 00:31:50,549 --> 00:31:48,960 risk it and so 893 00:31:52,870 --> 00:31:50,559 while the cold war was underway the 894 00:31:55,029 --> 00:31:52,880 media was totally on board 895 00:31:57,430 --> 00:31:55,039 by whatever mechanisms 896 00:32:01,590 --> 00:31:57,440 some of it was simply institutionalized 897 00:32:02,950 --> 00:32:01,600 or status quo but 898 00:32:04,549 --> 00:32:02,960 that the truth embargo was going to be 899 00:32:06,389 --> 00:32:04,559 maintained and so by the time the cold 900 00:32:08,950 --> 00:32:06,399 war ends in 91 901 00:32:11,430 --> 00:32:08,960 it's really over by end of 91 902 00:32:13,350 --> 00:32:11,440 it's it's virtually institutionalized 903 00:32:15,029 --> 00:32:13,360 and and the media 904 00:32:16,070 --> 00:32:15,039 which of course is a full generation 905 00:32:17,909 --> 00:32:16,080 later 906 00:32:19,509 --> 00:32:17,919 of reporters and editors and so forth 907 00:32:21,110 --> 00:32:19,519 they just sort of that was the way it 908 00:32:23,350 --> 00:32:21,120 was you just didn't cover this you just 909 00:32:25,669 --> 00:32:23,360 didn't treat this seriously and so from 910 00:32:29,750 --> 00:32:25,679 91 forward the media 911 00:32:31,830 --> 00:32:29,760 was going along with it 912 00:32:34,630 --> 00:32:31,840 as a matter of 913 00:32:36,070 --> 00:32:34,640 of standard operating procedure 914 00:32:39,110 --> 00:32:36,080 that really doesn't start to change 915 00:32:40,470 --> 00:32:39,120 until after 2000 and then since 2000 the 916 00:32:41,590 --> 00:32:40,480 media 917 00:32:44,389 --> 00:32:41,600 under a 918 00:32:47,750 --> 00:32:44,399 constant onslaught of new events new 919 00:32:50,710 --> 00:32:47,760 research new documents new witnesses 920 00:32:51,990 --> 00:32:50,720 slowly are coming out of their 921 00:32:52,950 --> 00:32:52,000 embargo 922 00:32:54,549 --> 00:32:52,960 uh 923 00:32:56,789 --> 00:32:54,559 mode and and 924 00:32:58,470 --> 00:32:56,799 are covering the issue 925 00:33:00,789 --> 00:32:58,480 with uh 926 00:33:01,990 --> 00:33:00,799 a little more intensity not to the point 927 00:33:04,630 --> 00:33:02,000 that it should be covered without 928 00:33:06,950 --> 00:33:04,640 question they have not broken through 929 00:33:07,990 --> 00:33:06,960 but they could at any time and and right 930 00:33:11,190 --> 00:33:08,000 now 931 00:33:13,350 --> 00:33:11,200 one of the major uh factors in ensuring 932 00:33:15,350 --> 00:33:13,360 that the truth embargo ends 933 00:33:18,149 --> 00:33:15,360 is the fact that any and there's any 934 00:33:19,269 --> 00:33:18,159 number of points in the in the media 935 00:33:22,470 --> 00:33:19,279 spectrum 936 00:33:24,070 --> 00:33:22,480 where a breakout could occur and a a 937 00:33:25,750 --> 00:33:24,080 certain particular newspaper a 938 00:33:27,669 --> 00:33:25,760 particular network 939 00:33:29,909 --> 00:33:27,679 particular investigative group 940 00:33:31,350 --> 00:33:29,919 would really plunge into the issue and 941 00:33:33,509 --> 00:33:31,360 start asking 942 00:33:36,789 --> 00:33:33,519 questions that are 943 00:33:38,470 --> 00:33:36,799 been known for years decades even but 944 00:33:39,990 --> 00:33:38,480 actually forcing those questions on to 945 00:33:42,230 --> 00:33:40,000 government 946 00:33:43,350 --> 00:33:42,240 and in the truth embargo fairly quickly 947 00:33:46,149 --> 00:33:43,360 so 948 00:33:49,590 --> 00:33:46,159 that's where we are right now um 949 00:33:51,750 --> 00:33:49,600 and my my one of my principal uh 950 00:33:53,509 --> 00:33:51,760 tasks from the beginning from 1996 when 951 00:33:55,509 --> 00:33:53,519 prg was formed 952 00:33:57,509 --> 00:33:55,519 is to keep pushing the media constantly 953 00:33:58,630 --> 00:33:57,519 relentlessly 954 00:34:00,310 --> 00:33:58,640 and letting them know that we're not 955 00:34:02,230 --> 00:34:00,320 going away that the issue's not going 956 00:34:03,669 --> 00:34:02,240 away and that they have not done their 957 00:34:05,269 --> 00:34:03,679 job they have not 958 00:34:06,710 --> 00:34:05,279 acted in the proper 959 00:34:08,550 --> 00:34:06,720 fashion with respect to the most 960 00:34:09,829 --> 00:34:08,560 important issue in the world 961 00:34:11,109 --> 00:34:09,839 and that 962 00:34:12,230 --> 00:34:11,119 one way or another they're going to have 963 00:34:14,230 --> 00:34:12,240 to deal with it 964 00:34:16,069 --> 00:34:14,240 and the sooner the better they're there 965 00:34:17,750 --> 00:34:16,079 the war rewards will be great there will 966 00:34:20,310 --> 00:34:17,760 be pulitzer prizes 967 00:34:22,629 --> 00:34:20,320 there will be ratings increases there 968 00:34:24,629 --> 00:34:22,639 will be plenty of benefits to the 969 00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:24,639 to the media if they finally take this 970 00:34:27,270 --> 00:34:26,240 issue on but 971 00:34:29,510 --> 00:34:27,280 they haven't 972 00:34:31,669 --> 00:34:29,520 fully engaged it yet but that could 973 00:34:34,310 --> 00:34:31,679 happen at any time 974 00:34:36,550 --> 00:34:34,320 i was watching a youtube that you were 975 00:34:37,750 --> 00:34:36,560 on i i can't remember if it's fox news 976 00:34:39,190 --> 00:34:37,760 or what 977 00:34:41,190 --> 00:34:39,200 it was a 978 00:34:43,430 --> 00:34:41,200 female commentator and at the end she 979 00:34:45,430 --> 00:34:43,440 said something like after 980 00:34:47,990 --> 00:34:45,440 they you were off 981 00:34:50,470 --> 00:34:48,000 camera she said and he's never seen a 982 00:34:52,629 --> 00:34:50,480 ufo himself you know like that 983 00:34:54,869 --> 00:34:52,639 kind of like almost debunking everything 984 00:34:55,909 --> 00:34:54,879 you just stood for and said 985 00:34:57,910 --> 00:34:55,919 uh 986 00:35:00,470 --> 00:34:57,920 and yeah the media is just not on the 987 00:35:04,150 --> 00:35:00,480 side i think you know but i have seen a 988 00:35:07,349 --> 00:35:04,160 few clips that the commentator at least 989 00:35:09,750 --> 00:35:07,359 certainly is involved in it yeah 990 00:35:11,829 --> 00:35:09,760 television is a little more 991 00:35:13,430 --> 00:35:11,839 sensitive uh they're a little more 992 00:35:15,750 --> 00:35:13,440 worried that 993 00:35:16,870 --> 00:35:15,760 they might be tainted if they show a 994 00:35:18,069 --> 00:35:16,880 serious 995 00:35:19,190 --> 00:35:18,079 uh 996 00:35:20,870 --> 00:35:19,200 approach 997 00:35:23,109 --> 00:35:20,880 but there are exceptions i think larry 998 00:35:26,230 --> 00:35:23,119 king did a number of shows which treated 999 00:35:28,390 --> 00:35:26,240 this issue seriously right uh but 1000 00:35:30,470 --> 00:35:28,400 did cnn did the rest of the cnn news 1001 00:35:33,190 --> 00:35:30,480 operation follow suit did they 1002 00:35:34,870 --> 00:35:33,200 follow up no no i was contained to king 1003 00:35:36,390 --> 00:35:34,880 so cnn had his foot in the door but 1004 00:35:37,829 --> 00:35:36,400 that's it wouldn't it wouldn't walk all 1005 00:35:40,230 --> 00:35:37,839 the way in 1006 00:35:42,069 --> 00:35:40,240 paradigm research group has had its 1007 00:35:44,870 --> 00:35:42,079 activities covered by 1008 00:35:47,589 --> 00:35:44,880 scores of media 1009 00:35:51,069 --> 00:35:47,599 and if you go to the media archive well 1010 00:35:52,790 --> 00:35:51,079 the the our articles archive uh at 1011 00:35:55,190 --> 00:35:52,800 paradigmresearchgroup.org 1012 00:35:57,510 --> 00:35:55,200 in the main prg site you can read those 1013 00:35:59,750 --> 00:35:57,520 and you can follow them and overall 1014 00:36:02,390 --> 00:35:59,760 they're it's not bad coverage is 1015 00:36:03,589 --> 00:36:02,400 reasonable there are some there are some 1016 00:36:04,630 --> 00:36:03,599 uh 1017 00:36:05,330 --> 00:36:04,640 flippant 1018 00:36:06,710 --> 00:36:05,340 uh 1019 00:36:08,950 --> 00:36:06,720 [Music] 1020 00:36:11,510 --> 00:36:08,960 approaches there's some some negatives 1021 00:36:12,630 --> 00:36:11,520 but in general it covered what prg's 1022 00:36:13,829 --> 00:36:12,640 been doing 1023 00:36:16,470 --> 00:36:13,839 could they have covered it more 1024 00:36:17,910 --> 00:36:16,480 absolutely and they will there will be 1025 00:36:21,190 --> 00:36:17,920 more covered 1026 00:36:23,349 --> 00:36:21,200 so it we're sort of in a 1027 00:36:25,190 --> 00:36:23,359 we're in the tran wind transition 1028 00:36:28,710 --> 00:36:25,200 the media is coming out of the truth 1029 00:36:30,470 --> 00:36:28,720 embargo they are slowly coming out of it 1030 00:36:33,190 --> 00:36:30,480 and i think once that process has 1031 00:36:35,190 --> 00:36:33,200 started once that process did start it's 1032 00:36:36,710 --> 00:36:35,200 almost irreversible it can't go 1033 00:36:38,470 --> 00:36:36,720 backwards 1034 00:36:39,750 --> 00:36:38,480 so while it's easy to get angry at the 1035 00:36:41,670 --> 00:36:39,760 media 1036 00:36:43,190 --> 00:36:41,680 ultimately we need them 1037 00:36:44,630 --> 00:36:43,200 and they could end the truth embargo at 1038 00:36:46,950 --> 00:36:44,640 any time so 1039 00:36:47,990 --> 00:36:46,960 i try to be optimistic i encourage your 1040 00:36:50,470 --> 00:36:48,000 readers 1041 00:36:52,310 --> 00:36:50,480 there is only one book that 1042 00:36:53,510 --> 00:36:52,320 specifically addressed 1043 00:36:54,550 --> 00:36:53,520 the immediate connection of the truth 1044 00:36:56,470 --> 00:36:54,560 embargo 1045 00:36:59,349 --> 00:36:56,480 and it's uh terry hands by terry hanson 1046 00:37:00,630 --> 00:36:59,359 he's a he's a
