1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,309 hi I'm Richard Dolan on November 30th my 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,560 colleague Bryce is Abel and I published 3 00:00:05,309 --> 00:00:09,359 the need-to-know petition demanding that 4 00:00:07,559 --> 00:00:11,789 the White House conducted transparent 5 00:00:09,359 --> 00:00:14,879 investigation of reports of unknown 6 00:00:11,789 --> 00:00:17,669 aerial phenomena UAP or as a lot of 7 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:20,670 people say UFOs and to make those 8 00:00:17,670 --> 00:00:21,660 findings public some people might wonder 9 00:00:20,670 --> 00:00:24,210 why even bother 10 00:00:21,660 --> 00:00:26,460 when it seemed pointless and certainly 11 00:00:24,210 --> 00:00:29,368 it is if you don't believe in you ap or 12 00:00:26,460 --> 00:00:31,050 UFOs in that case it's like asking the 13 00:00:29,368 --> 00:00:34,409 government to investigate a make-believe 14 00:00:31,050 --> 00:00:36,420 phenomenon and just waste our money if 15 00:00:34,409 --> 00:00:39,539 you already know the truth why spend 16 00:00:36,420 --> 00:00:41,609 money reaffirming the obvious even some 17 00:00:39,539 --> 00:00:43,769 people who believe in the phenomenon 18 00:00:41,609 --> 00:00:45,570 might think it's pointless for many 19 00:00:43,770 --> 00:00:48,120 decades there have been researchers and 20 00:00:45,570 --> 00:00:49,950 activists who have gotten nothing other 21 00:00:48,119 --> 00:00:51,570 than silence and denial from the 22 00:00:49,950 --> 00:00:54,180 government why should it be any 23 00:00:51,570 --> 00:00:56,640 different now and actually the White 24 00:00:54,179 --> 00:00:58,500 House recently replied to a petition by 25 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,960 Stephen Bassett of paradigm research 26 00:00:58,500 --> 00:01:04,409 group and said that there is no evidence 27 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:07,710 of genuine UFOs nor any credible 28 00:01:04,409 --> 00:01:10,350 information to suggest a cover-up now if 29 00:01:07,709 --> 00:01:12,959 you ask me there's one and only one way 30 00:01:10,349 --> 00:01:16,259 a person can say that and that's by 31 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:18,989 doing absolutely no inquiry at all so 32 00:01:16,259 --> 00:01:20,728 when a military report describing UAP 33 00:01:18,989 --> 00:01:21,209 lands on your desk or appears on your 34 00:01:20,728 --> 00:01:24,239 screen 35 00:01:21,209 --> 00:01:25,739 shut your eyes when the credible witness 36 00:01:24,239 --> 00:01:28,199 describes something that should be 37 00:01:25,739 --> 00:01:31,140 impossible but isn't you just cover your 38 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:33,509 ears and whistle a merry tune now to be 39 00:01:31,140 --> 00:01:35,400 fair it's hard to imagine what else the 40 00:01:33,509 --> 00:01:38,069 White House could have said can you 41 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:40,680 imagine the reaction that might occur 42 00:01:38,069 --> 00:01:44,309 from even a hint that there is something 43 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:46,618 to UFOs see the White House the Pentagon 44 00:01:44,310 --> 00:01:50,250 the intelligence community they cannot 45 00:01:46,618 --> 00:01:51,810 ever voluntarily acknowledge the reality 46 00:01:50,250 --> 00:01:55,140 of this persistent troubling phenomenon 47 00:01:51,810 --> 00:01:57,240 and it's troubling all right there have 48 00:01:55,140 --> 00:02:00,299 been enough confirmed military reports 49 00:01:57,239 --> 00:02:02,669 over the decades describing how unknown 50 00:02:00,299 --> 00:02:05,729 objects have been able to invade 51 00:02:02,670 --> 00:02:08,550 restricted airspace with impunity easily 52 00:02:05,728 --> 00:02:10,759 evade jet interceptors disable 53 00:02:08,550 --> 00:02:13,099 electronic systems of our top aircraft 54 00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:15,620 demonstrate interest in nuclear 55 00:02:13,098 --> 00:02:17,988 and having the ability to disable 56 00:02:15,620 --> 00:02:20,930 nuclear weapons whatever they've got 57 00:02:17,989 --> 00:02:22,489 it's some serious capabilities maybe 58 00:02:20,930 --> 00:02:24,590 they're wonderful creatures maybe not 59 00:02:22,489 --> 00:02:27,799 but it's easy to see the reasons for 60 00:02:24,590 --> 00:02:30,079 secrecy but here's the thing government 61 00:02:27,799 --> 00:02:32,599 is one thing the people are another and 62 00:02:30,079 --> 00:02:35,659 the people that means you have a right 63 00:02:32,598 --> 00:02:37,759 to the truth governments never act in 64 00:02:35,658 --> 00:02:40,219 the interest of ordinary people until 65 00:02:37,759 --> 00:02:42,108 ordinary people force them to that's 66 00:02:40,219 --> 00:02:42,739 always been the case that's always been 67 00:02:42,109 --> 00:02:45,709 our job 68 00:02:42,739 --> 00:02:48,170 and by the way finding that a truth will 69 00:02:45,709 --> 00:02:50,359 not be easy not for us and not for the 70 00:02:48,169 --> 00:02:52,638 White House there's been a world of 71 00:02:50,359 --> 00:02:54,969 secrecy that has developed around UFOs 72 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:58,189 buried behind layers and layers of 73 00:02:54,969 --> 00:02:59,989 classification it doesn't even seem that 74 00:02:58,188 --> 00:03:02,900 our highest elected officials have 75 00:02:59,989 --> 00:03:05,209 access to him the powerful senator Barry 76 00:03:02,900 --> 00:03:07,310 Goldwater was once cussed out by his 77 00:03:05,209 --> 00:03:10,759 friend general Curtis LeMay just for 78 00:03:07,310 --> 00:03:12,949 making one inquiry I once learned from a 79 00:03:10,759 --> 00:03:15,199 very high-level intelligence source that 80 00:03:12,949 --> 00:03:17,298 President Jimmy Carter was brought to 81 00:03:15,199 --> 00:03:20,209 tears over whatever it was that he was 82 00:03:17,299 --> 00:03:22,129 told even President Bill Clinton tried 83 00:03:20,209 --> 00:03:26,539 to move this issue forward but had to 84 00:03:22,128 --> 00:03:28,489 admit defeat who is in control don't you 85 00:03:26,539 --> 00:03:29,658 think you have a right to know maybe 86 00:03:28,489 --> 00:03:31,609 even a need to know 87 00:03:29,658 --> 00:03:34,280 that's why Bryce and I feel this 88 00:03:31,609 --> 00:03:36,409 petition matters government's always 89 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,680 have to be reminded that the people are 90 00:03:36,408 --> 00:03:41,780 their boss not the other way around 91 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:44,829 truth is often unpleasant truth can turn 92 00:03:41,780 --> 00:03:48,079 our world upside down but ask yourself 93 00:03:44,829 --> 00:03:51,590 what kind of world do you want a world 94 00:03:48,079 --> 00:03:54,829 built on lies or one in which government 95 00:03:51,590 --> 00:03:59,199 of by and for the people still lives and 96 00:03:54,829 --> 00:04:02,090 breathes still responds still inspires 97 00:03:59,199 --> 00:04:03,489 in other words a world in which truth 98 00:04:02,090 --> 00:04:06,709 has a fighting chance 99 00:04:03,489 --> 00:04:08,810 sign the need-to-know petition we have a 100 00:04:06,709 --> 00:04:11,389 chance to make a statement to challenge 101 00:04:08,810 --> 00:04:15,219 decades of lies with the clear light of 102 00:04:11,389 --> 00:04:15,219 truth we can do it 103 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,220 you
