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 --> 00:00:20,699 people say UFOs and to make those 8 00:00:17,670 --> 00:00:21,660 findings public some people might wonder 9 00:00:20,699 --> 00:00:24,210 why even bother 10 00:00:21,660 --> 00:00:26,429 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 00:00:26,429 --> 00:00:31,050 UFOs in that case it's like asking the 13 00:00:29,368 --> 00:00:33,960 government to investigate a make-believe 14 00:00:31,050 --> 00:00:36,420 phenomenon and just waste our money if 15 00:00:33,960 --> 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 --> 00:00:45,600 might think it's pointless for many 19 00:00:43,770 --> 00:00:48,120 decades there have been researchers and 20 00:00:45,600 --> 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 --> 00:01:10,380 information to suggest a cover-up now if 29 00:01:07,709 --> 00:01:13,228 you ask me there's one and only one way 30 00:01:10,379 --> 00:01:16,438 a person can say that that's by doing 31 00:01:13,228 --> 00:01:19,469 absolutely no inquiry at all so when a 32 00:01:16,438 --> 00:01:21,209 military report describing UAP lands on 33 00:01:19,469 --> 00:01:24,030 your desk or appears on your screen 34 00:01:21,209 --> 00:01:25,739 shut your eyes when a credible witness 35 00:01:24,030 --> 00:01:28,228 describes something that should be 36 00:01:25,739 --> 00:01:31,140 impossible but isn't you just cover your 37 00:01:28,228 --> 00:01:33,509 ears and whistle a merry tune now to be 38 00:01:31,140 --> 00:01:35,489 fair it's hard to imagine what else the 39 00:01:33,509 --> 00:01:38,069 White House could have said can you 40 00:01:35,489 --> 00:01:40,828 imagine the reaction that might occur 41 00:01:38,069 --> 00:01:44,309 from even a hint that there is something 42 00:01:40,828 --> 00:01:46,618 to UFOs see the White House the Pentagon 43 00:01:44,310 --> 00:01:50,250 the intelligence community they cannot 44 00:01:46,618 --> 00:01:52,228 ever voluntarily acknowledge the reality 45 00:01:50,250 --> 00:01:55,140 of this persistent troubling phenomenon 46 00:01:52,228 --> 00:01:57,239 and it's troubling all right there have 47 00:01:55,140 --> 00:02:00,299 been enough confirmed military reports 48 00:01:57,239 --> 00:02:02,640 over the decades describing how unknown 49 00:02:00,299 --> 00:02:05,729 objects have been able to invade 50 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:08,580 restricted airspace with impunity easily 51 00:02:05,728 --> 00:02:10,759 evade jet interceptors disable 52 00:02:08,580 --> 00:02:13,650 electronic systems of our top aircraft 53 00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:15,628 demonstrate interest in nuclear sites 54 00:02:13,650 --> 00:02:18,000 and having the ability to disable 55 00:02:15,628 --> 00:02:20,908 nuclear weapons whatever they've got 56 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,500 it's some serious capabilities maybe 57 00:02:20,908 --> 00:02:24,598 they're wonderful creatures maybe not 58 00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:27,810 but it's easy to see the reasons for 59 00:02:24,598 --> 00:02:30,060 secrecy but here's the thing government 60 00:02:27,810 --> 00:02:32,610 is one thing the people are another and 61 00:02:30,060 --> 00:02:35,640 the people that means you have a right 62 00:02:32,610 --> 00:02:37,739 to the truth governments never act in 63 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:40,229 the interests of ordinary people until 64 00:02:37,739 --> 00:02:42,120 ordinary people force them to that's 65 00:02:40,229 --> 00:02:42,719 always been the case that's always been 66 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,719 our job 67 00:02:42,719 --> 00:02:48,209 and by the way finding that a truth will 68 00:02:45,719 --> 00:02:50,370 not be easy not for us and not for the 69 00:02:48,209 --> 00:02:52,650 White House there has been a world of 70 00:02:50,370 --> 00:02:54,980 secrecy that has developed around UFOs 71 00:02:52,650 --> 00:02:58,319 buried behind layers and layers of 72 00:02:54,979 --> 00:02:59,939 classification it doesn't even seem that 73 00:02:58,318 --> 00:03:02,878 our highest elected officials have 74 00:02:59,939 --> 00:03:05,219 access to him the powerful senator Barry 75 00:03:02,878 --> 00:03:07,318 Goldwater was once cussed out by his 76 00:03:05,219 --> 00:03:10,739 friend general Curtis LeMay just for 77 00:03:07,318 --> 00:03:12,958 making one inquiry I once learned from a 78 00:03:10,739 --> 00:03:15,180 very high-level intelligence source that 79 00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:17,310 President Jimmy Carter was brought to 80 00:03:15,180 --> 00:03:20,189 tears over whatever it was that he was 81 00:03:17,310 --> 00:03:22,139 told even President Bill Clinton tried 82 00:03:20,189 --> 00:03:26,549 to move this issue forward but had to 83 00:03:22,139 --> 00:03:28,439 admit defeat who is in control don't you 84 00:03:26,549 --> 00:03:29,669 think you have a right to know maybe 85 00:03:28,439 --> 00:03:31,620 even a need to know 86 00:03:29,669 --> 00:03:34,260 that's why Bryce and I feel this 87 00:03:31,620 --> 00:03:36,419 petition matters government's always 88 00:03:34,259 --> 00:03:38,689 have to be reminded that the people are 89 00:03:36,419 --> 00:03:41,760 their boss not the other way around 90 00:03:38,689 --> 00:03:44,840 truth is often unpleasant truth can turn 91 00:03:41,759 --> 00:03:48,090 our world upside down but ask yourself 92 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:50,598 what kind of world do you want a world 93 00:03:48,090 --> 00:03:53,340 built on lies are one in which 94 00:03:50,598 --> 00:03:56,759 government of by and for the people 95 00:03:53,340 --> 00:04:01,680 still lives and breathes still responds 96 00:03:56,759 --> 00:04:03,500 still inspires in other words a world in 97 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:06,689 which truth has a fighting chance 98 00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:08,818 sign the need-to-know petition we have a 99 00:04:06,689 --> 00:04:11,400 chance to make a statement to challenge 100 00:04:08,818 --> 00:04:15,229 decades of lies with the clear light of 101 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,230 truth we can do it
