[ [There] exists a shadowy Government with its own Air
Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the
ability to pursue its own ideas of the national interest, free
from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself.
— Senator
Daniel K Inouye
In the councils of Government, we must guard against
the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or
unsought, by the Military Industrial Complex.. The potential
for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will
persist. We must never let the weight of this combination
endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take
nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry
can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and
military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and
goals so that security and liberty may prosper
together
— President Eisenhower – January 1961
The above address by two-term Republican US President and
five- star Army General Dwight Eisenhower was issued as a
prescient warning when he left office in 1961. Many have
wondered why such a conservative, pro-military president would
issue such a warning. We now know why.
The Disclosure Project, an NGO based in the United States,
has identified several hundred military, intelligence and
corporate witnesses to illegal and extra-constitutional
projects that have suppressed information and prevented public
access to technologies which could provide a definitive
replacement for oil, coal, nuclear power and other
conventional energy sources. These technologies have been both
acquired and developed by military and industrial interests in
the US, UK and other countries that have repeatedly lied to or
withheld this information from legally constituted authorities
and the public. This information has the potential to
completely transform the current state of the world in the
areas of technology, energy production, propulsion, the
environment and geopolitical issues related to oil and energy
supplies. In short, a sustainable, non-polluting and affluent
civilisation could be created by the wise application of these
technologies, and many of the most pressing crises facing the
world community could have been avoided if it had not been for
the deliberate suppression of such technological knowledge.
While “national security concerns” have been invoked as
reasons for such secrecy, in reality the policy is driven by
the resolve to maintain the current “status quo” based on the
pre-eminence of oil and fossil fuels and related special
interests.
By the time President Eisenhower left, a transformation had
occurred in the structure of Western military, intelligence
and corporate programmes. The urgent pressures of the nuclear
arms race and the Cold War with the Soviets had created an
atmosphere of extreme secrecy, dwarfing the secret
infrastructure surrounding the Manhattan Project that built
the atomic bomb during the Second World War. The fate of the
free world was at stake, and no expense was spared to create
the means to advance technologies within the dark womb of
secrecy. A culture evolved that required such secrecy for
national survival and the “need-to-know-only” requirements of
such programmes were further reinforced by the well-known
espionage scandals of that era, including that of the
Rosenbergs.
However, such a culture of generally regarded justifiable
secrecy also created opportunities for abuse within the
military, intelligence, corporate and laboratory complex.
Classified programmes, appropriately structured to require a
genuine need-to-know situation in order for one to have access
to them, became increasingly “compartmented”, restricted and
shadowy. Mechanisms for funding became Byzantine and obscure;
programme structures were hidden with cover stories, “store
front” operations and became virtually impenetrable; and the
people within such programmes found themselves at once
increasingly isolated and strangely empowered.
It was in this womb, awash with billions of dollars of
so-called “black budget” funding, that extreme (and many would
maintain essential) secrecy gave birth to the monster of
rogue, illegal and powerful “unacknowledged special access
projects” (USAPs) dealing with a number of unusual phenomena
and technologies. In the world of USAPs, compart-mentalisation
is so great, the need to know so restricted and the
information so important, that meaningful supervision by the
constitutionally required authorities in the US, UK and other
countries became simply impossible. Here, “unacknowledged”
means that nobody is ever told about the project unless he
absolutely needs to know and is directly required to be
involved in operations. Even if a senior official inquires,
the answer is “no such project exists.”
Moreover, the milieu of the “revolving door” world of
military, intelligence and corporate programmes created
corporate and financial influences that ran counter to genuine
“national security” interests or any legitimate public
interest. Especially in the United States, the multi-billion
dollar expenditures on military technologies, research and
development programmes and outsourced services and operations
allowed for a comingling of public finances and private
interests. This, combined with the extreme
compartmentalisation of programmes, allowed for serious abuses
of the public trust to take place.
Ultimately, such programmes — networked carefully with
other programmes and corporate research — became so
restrictive that legal authorities were routinely and as a
matter of course left out of the loop. Ultimately, those left
out of the loop would become members of Congress and even the
US president.
Indeed, when President Eisenhower left office, operations
had become so complex and out of control, that he was
convinced he was being shut out of vital developments and
operations. In the years since, matters have decayed
exponentially to the point that we estimate today some $100
billion per year go into unacknowledged programmes escaping
the substantial knowledge of the US president and US Congress.
USAP AND ADVANCED ENERGY AND PROPULSION SYSTEMS
The “crown jewels” of such USAPs are those connected to
very advanced
energy and propulsion systems. In the 1940s
and 1950s, a concerted effort was made to investigate a number
of phenomena related to emerging sciences, including those
associated with electromagnetism and
electro-gravitic/magneto-gravitic technologies for their
promising potential in creating energy and propulsion systems
valuable to urgent defence projects.
During that era, particular interest was paid to what the
public call UFOs (unidentified flying objects). It is
important to note that the term UFO was only coined after
covert programmes discovered that such objects were neither
unidentified nor “flew” in any conventional sense of the word.
Indeed, the majority of the information and culture associated
with UFOs is disinformation designed to deflect serious
scientific, media or mainstream governmental inquiry. People
have been systematically deceived for half a century.
UFOs well-documented aerial phenomena, some of which are
extra-terrestrial vehicles whereas others are advanced covert
government aircraft using energy and propulsion technologies
that could transform life on earth. It should be noted that
the man-made devices are the result of illegally classified
research and development (and acquisition) of technologies as
well as the study of retrieved extraterrestrial vehicles.
Once technological breakthroughs were made, the secrecy
associated with these projects became extraordinary. Indeed,
the clandestinity surrounding these advanced energy and
propulsion devices far exceeded the secrecy that shrouded the
development of the hydrogen bomb.
From a November 21, 1950 (authenticated) top secret
Canadian document:
I [the author] made discreet enquiries through the Canadian
Embassy staff in Washington who were able to obtain for me the
following information:
a. The matter is the most highly classified subject in
the United States Government, rating higher even than the
H-bomb.
b. Flying saucers exist.
c. Their modus operandi is unknown but concentrated
effort is being made by a small group headed by Dr Vannevar
Bush.
d. The entire matter is considered by the United States
authorities to be of tremendous significance.
Putting aside the aura of silliness that surrounds the
subject in pop culture, the media and the tabloids, over 2000
pages of documents released to the Disclosure Project by the
US, UK, Spanish and other governments clearly establish the
importance of the matter at the time. Space here does not
allow inclusion of even a sampling of these documents but they
may be viewed, in part, on our website and reviewed in the
book Disclosure by this author.
Today, this subject usually elicits laughter, embarrassment
and dismissal. This is certainly understandable since at least
99 per cent of everything said, written, filmed or otherwise
placed in the public domain on the subject is outright
deception. But in the corridors of power — and especially in
the corridors of covert programmes — the matter is of utmost
importance. This is because at the core of this enigma lies a
body of science that eliminates in one generation the need for
oil, fossil fuels and the related pollution and establishes a
truly sustainable world civilisation exempt from poverty as we
know it. The relentless ridicule associated with the UFO
subject matter is deliberate and staged: It hides a profound
body of knowledge dwarfing the changes that have transpired
from the industrial revolution until today by several orders
of magnitude. In a letter to Congress, first CIA Director
Admiral Roscoe Hillenkoetter had this to say:
It is time for the truth to be brought out … Behind the
scenes, high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned
about the UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule,
many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects
are nonsense … I urge immediate Congressional action to reduce
the dangers from secrecy about unidentified flying objects...
We have identified nearly 500 military, corporate,
intelligence and laboratory witnesses to events and programmes
connected to these matters. The body of evidence is
overwhelming and definitive. In May 2001, we held a press
conference at the National Press Club in Washington, DC at
which more than 20 such witnesses provided testimony and
documents regarding their direct, first-hand involvement in
the subject. It was the most-watched webcast in history, and
ultimately over a million people viewed the event over the
Internet. The event was reported by CNN, CNN International,
major networks like the BBC, the Voice of America, Pravda, the
Chinese News Agency, Telemundo, The Washington Times
and other media around the world. Tens of thousands of
people wrote to the president and members of Congress asking
for an investigation of the subject and a general
declassification of information.
And then September 11 happened. In view of the US Patriot
Act and other developments, including the Iraq war, the
US Congress has elected not to pursue the matter. But the
international community, which is greatly harmed by the
continued imposition of this secrecy, is the primary victim
and should be the prime mover in getting these matters
investigated.
EXPERT WITNESSES AND TESTIMONY
Sufficient evidence, documents, physical proof and
testimonies exist to
definitively make the case for the
reality of the issue as well as its illegal handling.
Beginning in 1992, we met with senior government officials in
the US, UK, the United Nations and other agencies and
discovered a remarkable degree of interest in resolving this
problem and obtaining a general disclosure of the facts. The
officials ranged from members of the US Senate Intelligence
Committee to the first acting CIA director under President
Clinton, including very senior admirals and generals at the
Pentagon and in the British General Staff. There is widespread
agreement that the subject has enormous implications for the
future of humanity and that the secrecy has become
inexcusable.
What has been lacking is the will to take meaningful action
on the issue. While interest and moral support for disclosure
are high, fear is even greater. Consider what some of these
top secret “whistle-blower” witnesses have said about this
secrecy and the fear it engenders:
Brigadier General Stephen Lovekin: Army
National Guard Reserves. As a young army officer he worked
with President Eisenhower in the last years of his
presidency.
But what happened was that Eisenhower got sold out.
Without him knowing it, he lost control of what was going on
with the entire UFO situation. In his last address to the
nation, I think he was telling us that the military
industrial complex would stick (sic) you in the back if you
were not totally vigilant. And, I think that he felt like he
had not been vigilant. I think he felt like he trusted too
many people. And Eisenhower was a trusting man. And I think
that he realised that all of a sudden this matter is going
into the control of corporations that could very well act to
the detriment of this country.
This frustration, from what I can remember,
went on for months. He realised that he was losing control
of the UFO subject. As far as I can remember, that was the
expression that was used, “It is not going to be in the best
hands.” That was a real concern. And so it has turned out to
be ...
“It had been discussed with me on numerous occasions what
could happen to me militarily if I discussed this. I would
say that the government has done as good a job enforcing
secrecy through the installation of abject fear as they have
done with anything within the memory of modern man.”
One older officer discussed with me what
possibly could happen if there was a revelation. He was
talking about being erased and I said, “Man, what do you
mean erased?” And, he said, “Yes, you will be erased —
disappear.” And I said, “How do you know all this?” And he
said, “I know.” Those threats have been made and carried
out. Those threats started way back in 1947. The Army [and
the] Air Force was given absolute control over how to handle
this. This being the biggest security situation that this
country has ever dealt with and there have been some
erasures …
I don’t care what kind of a person you are. I
don’t care how strong or courageous you are. It would be a
very fearful situation because from what Matt [this older
officer] said, “They will go after not only you. They will
go after your family.” Those were his words. And, so I can
only say that the reason that they have managed to keep it
under wraps for so long is through fear. They are very
selective about how they pull someone out to make an example
of. And I know that that has been done.
Lance Corporal Jonathan Weygandt : US
Marine Corps, present at a retrieval of a UFO in South
America
“You weren’t supposed to be there.” “You are not supposed
to see this.” “You are going to be dangerous if we let you
go.” I thought that they were going to kill me, really …
Lethal, deadly force has been used. For those
of you who don’t know, I know marine snipers and I have
heard other guys talk about it and I’ve heard that these
guys go on the streets and they stalk people and they kill
them. I know that the Army Airborne snipers do the same
thing. They use Delta Force to go grab these people and
silence them by killing them.
Larry Warren: US Air Force, Security
Officer, present during the landing of a UFO at Bentwaters
Air Force Base in the UK
We were gone over with a Geiger counter and there was one
return on one of the guys, and something was taken out of
his pocket. (He had picked up an item from the retrieved
craft.) This guy was removed very quickly. And, I will swear
on my life, I never saw him again. He was removed. This
happened to a lot of people. It led to a suicide that the
Air Force is responsible for. This is a real person with a
real name ...
Master Sergeant Dan Morris : US Air
Force, NRO (National Reconnaissance Office) Operative
I became part of a group that would investigate, gather
the information, and in the beginning it was still under the
Blue Book, Snowbird and different covert programmes. I would
go interview people who claimed they had seen something and
try to convince them they hadn’t seen something or that they
were hallucinating. Well, if that didn’t work, another team
would come in and give all the threats. And threaten them
and their family and so on and so forth. And they would be
in charge of discrediting them, making them look foolish and
so on and so forth. Now if that didn’t work, then there was
another team that put an end to that problem, one way or
another.
Professor Robert Jacobs: US Air Force,
who filmed a UFO intercepting an early ICBM test
After an article [came out about the incident] … I
started being harassed at work. I started getting odd
telephone calls that would come during the day. At night, at
my house I would get telephone calls — all night long
sometimes — 3.00 in the morning, 4.00 in the morning,
midnight, 10.00. People would call and start screaming at
me. “You are going down (unprintable expletive)! You are
going down! And that’s all they would say.” And they’d keep
screaming that until I finally hung up the phone.
One night somebody blew up my mailbox by
putting a big load of skyrockets in it. The mailbox went up
in flames. And that night at 1:00 in the morning the phone
rang. I picked it up and somebody said, “skyrockets in your
box at night, oh what a beautiful sight!”
And things like that have happened on and off since 1982
…
I believe this nutty fringe around UFOs is part of a
concerted effort to keep serious study of it down. Anytime
anybody tries to study this subject seriously, we are
subject to ridicule. I’m a full professor at a relatively
major university. And I’m certain that my colleagues at the
university laugh at me and hoot and holler behind my back
when they hear that I have an interest in studying
unidentified flying objects — and that’s just one of the
things that we have to live with …
What happened to the film is an interesting
story in itself as Major Mansmann related to me and other
people. Sometime after I had gone, the guys in civilian
clothes — I thought it was the CIA but he said no, it wasn’t
the CIA, it was somebody else — took the film and they
spooled off the part that had the UFO on it and they took a
pair of scissors and cut it off. They put that on a separate
reel. They put it in their briefcase. They handed Major
Mansmann back the rest of the film and said here, “I don’t
need to remind you, Major, of the severity of a security
breach; we’ll consider this incident closed.” And they
walked off with the film. Major Mansmann never saw it again.
Merle Shane McDow: US Navy Atlantic
Command
These two gentlemen began to question me about this
event. They were being pretty rough about it, to be honest
with you. I remember literally putting my hands up and
saying, “Wait a minute fellows. I am on your side. Just a
minute.” Because they were not really nice. They were very
intimidating and made it quite clear to the point that
nothing that was seen, heard, or witnessed, that transpired
was to leave this building. You are not to say a word about
it to your co-workers. And off base, you just forget
everything that you may have seen or heard concerning this.
It didn’t happen ...
Major George A Filer, III: US Air Force
(Retd.)
At times I used to carry nuclear weapons. In other words,
I was mentally fit to carry nuclear weapons, but I’m not
mentally fit if I see a UFO. This criticism and this
ridicule have done more to keep the story coming out than
almost anything else.
John Callahan: FAA Head of Accidents and
Investigations
… When they got done, they actually swore all
these other guys in there that this never took place. We
never had this meeting. And this was never recorded …
This was one of the guys from the CIA. Okay?
That they were never there and this never happened. At the
time I said, well I don’t know why you are saying this. I
mean, there was something there and if it’s not the stealth
bomber, then you know, it’s a UFO. And if it’s a UFO, why
wouldn’t you want the people to know? Oh, they got all
excited over that. You don’t even want to say those words.
He said this is the first time they ever had 30 minutes of
radar data on a UFO. And they are all itching to get their
hands onto the data and to find out what it is and what
really goes on. He says if they come out and told the
American public that they ran into a UFO out there, it would
cause panic across the country. So therefore, you can’t talk
about it. And they are going to take all this data …
… When the CIA told us that this never
happened and we never had this meeting, I believe it was
because they didn’t want the public to know that this was
going on. Normally we would put out some type of a news
release that such and such happened ...
In short, so ruthless and unrelenting has been the secrecy
associated with these issues that no institution or leader to
date has been willing to take the matter on. Indeed, after we
met with CIA Director James Woolsey in December 1993 and
recommended that President Clinton take direct executive
action to end the secrecy and facilitate a disclosure, we saw
first hand how great the fear was. A friend of the president
visited us after this meeting and informed us that it was felt
that the president would “end up like [President] John Kennedy
if he did what we suggested.” Of course, we initially burst
into laughter, until we were stopped and informed that such
concerns were real. We were stunned. Until then, we had
relegated such concerns to the dustbin of conspiracy theories.
But it appears that the fear and ruthless control exercised by
these projects around the world has effectively kept the
matter off the public radar screen. In our view, the
propagation of such fear as a tool for control is a genuine
form of international terrorism. Its effects are devastating:
it has neutralised democratic processes and institutions,
engendered paralysing fear, hijacked the future of humanity,
impoverished billions of people and decimated the earthly
environment in the span of one human lifetime. Indeed, the
harmful effects of such rogue secrecy exceed by orders of
magnitude the consequences of any terrorist organisation
operating today.
Subsequent meetings with members of Congress and other high
officials resulted in enormous concern — even consternation —
but no action. We repeatedly heard that many in senior
positions were concerned with such unsanctioned secrecy, but
these officials would simply pass the buck to others, saying
“Why don’t you meet with so and so on another committee and
get him to hold a hearing?”
Other witnesses have described these operations thus:
Dr Paul Czysz: McDonnell Douglas Career
Engineer
The black budget world is like trying to describe Casper
the friendly ghost. You might see a cartoon of him but you
don’t know how big he is, you don’t know where his funding
comes from, you don’t know how many there are because of the
compartmentalisation and the oath that people have to take.
I know people today that worked on one of the things that I
worked on, and if you asked them about it — even if it is
being discussed on the Internet — they would say “No, I have
no idea what you’re talking about.” They’re in their
seventies now, but they still would absolutely never admit
that they even know what you’re talking about. You have no
idea, but it’s probably larger than you think.
John Maynard: DIA Official
Of corporations involved in this matter, Atlantic
Research Corporation is one of the big ones. So it’s not
very often heard about. It’s an insider beltway bandit, if
you want to call it that, very low profile, mostly has all
of its work done within Intelligence. TRW, Johnson Controls,
Honeywell; All of them at some point or another became
involved with the intelligence field. Certain works,
activities were contracted out to them. Atlantic Research
was one of them — way back. These are entities that were
created out of people in the Pentagon to become a “beltway
bandit” — received projects, grants, and monies to do
certain projects that were so highly classified and
compartmentalised that, you know, only about four people
would know what was going on. So it was that tightly
controlled.
Edgar Mitchell : Astronaut
Whatever activity is going on, to the extent that it is a
clandestine group, a quasi-government group, a quasi-private
group, it is without any type, as far as I can tell, of
high-level government oversight. And that is a great
concern.
Mitchell later made a statement to the media, reported in
the St Petersburg Times of February 28, 2004, “The
Aliens have landed … a few insiders know the truth and are
studying the bodies … A cabal of insiders stopped briefing
presidents about extraterrestrials after President Kennedy.”
Sergeant Clifford Stone : US Army
…. They immediately come out and say, “Oh, we can’t keep
secrets, we can’t keep secrets.” Well, the truth is, yes, we
can.
The National Reconnaisance Office remained
secret for many, many years. The mere existence of the NSA
remained secret. The development of the atomic weapon
remained secret until once you exploded one you eventually
had to tell some people what was going on.
…. I had classified documents the Air Force
acknowledged. When I got members of Congress to help me open
up more files, they were immediately destroyed and I can
prove this.
When Congress did their review of the way we
protect documents, and the way we go ahead and implement our
secrecy programmes, they found that you had special access
programmes within special access programmes — that it was
essentially impossible to keep control of them all by
Congress. And, I’m telling you right now; it is essentially
impossible to keep control of them all.
When it comes to UFOs, the same criteria
[sic] applies. Therefore, only a small nucleus within the
intelligence community, numbering less than a hundred — no,
I’d suggest less than 50 — control all that information. It
is not subject to congressional review or oversight at all.
Dr Robert Wood: McDonnell Douglas
Aerospace Engineer
As you may know, when you get cleared for one of these
classified programmes you wear your special badge and you
know you can talk to anybody who’s in the room with a lot of
candour and it feels like that’s one’s psychological group —
there’s a lot of camaraderie that builds up. And you had
access to special libraries. So one of the things that we
could do is go up to the library that the Air Force ran and
sort of paw through top secret material. Since I was
interested in UFOs, when I had some usual business to take
care of, I’d also look in their library to see what they had
on UFOs. And for about a year I was getting quite a few hits
on the subject about various reports. Then all of a sudden,
the whole subject material vanished. The entire
classification for the subject just vanished. The librarian
in our group that I was working with said he’d been in that
vault for twenty years and knew exactly how things were
normally done. He said, “This is remarkable!” He said, “I’ve
never seen that before, you just don’t have a whole subject
vanish out from under you.” He said, “I think there is
something there that you hit on ...”
In the meantime, there was one other thing
that came about as a result of my association with Jim
McDonald (a well-known UFO scientific investigator). I liked
the guy; he was really an energetic physicist and wouldn’t
let any grass grow under his feet. When he got a case he
would dig his teeth into it and present an overwhelmingly
convincing story to professional societies. He would talk to
the American Institute of Aeronautics and the American
Physical Society, and I happened to be members of both. So
whenever he was in town I would pick him up, escort him,
made sure he felt welcome.
So once when I was travelling through Tucson,
where he lived, I stopped — I had a two-hour layover to
catch an airplane — and he came out to the airport to have a
beer with me. I said, “What’s new, Jim?” He said, “I think
I’ve got it.” I said, “What do you think you got?” He said,
“I think I got the answer.” I said, “What is it?” He said,
“I can’t tell you yet. I have got to be sure.” It was six
weeks after that that he tried to shoot himself. A couple
months after that he finally died.
Knowing what I think I now suspect about the
skills of our counter intelligence people, I think we had
the capacity to convince him to do it himself. I think
that’s what happened ...
Clearly in order to have effective control of
this subject, you have to control it at all levels and the
most obvious level is the media. So you have to look at all
the kinds of media there are, the movies, the magazines, and
of course in the early days that’s all it is, newspapers and
movies and magazines. Now we have the Internet and video and
all those other sorts of things. But as the technology has
blossomed in these other avenues, the people worrying about
this control have also just moved into those avenues right
along with them. So every time a new avenue comes up they
have a new counterpoint.
The reader should note that we have gathered nearly 500
such credentialled witnesses from every agency and branch of
the military, as well as select corporations involved in the
secrecy.
The group maintaining this secrecy, at least at a policy
level, numbers some 200–300 individuals from a number of
countries and represents a powerful array of interests
including those connected to financial, technological,
security, religious, media, political and scientific areas. In
1993, contacts in this group stated to us that about a third
of those involved were in favour of ending the secrecy and a
broad disclosure of the facts; as of today we estimate over 40
per cent hold this opinion. Those who think that such a group
could not get away indefinitely with such secrecy are right.
We have obtained sufficient actionable intelligence, sources
and documents to make the case. We have names, programme code
numbers, the locations of operations and corporate programmes
and related vital intelligence. But to whom will this
information be disclosed and to what end?
Since the secrecy related to these technologies and
operations is rogue, unconstitutional and harmful, any
legitimate governmental or international body could hold a
hearing at which witnesses and evidence could be presented.
Legal and national security experts associated with the
Disclosure Project have determined that, since the secrecy is
unregulated and outside the bounds of the law, the leaders of
such projects have no legitimate right to enforce such
secrecy. This means those persons holding secrets are no
longer constitutionally bound by any past or current secrecy
oaths. This assessment has been shared with senior
governmental officials and to date no entity or official has
challenged this position.
Significantly, during the preparation and in the aftermath
of the above-mentioned National Press Club event, none of the
whistle-blowers or staff of the Disclosure Project have been
threatened or silenced in any way. We have been able to make a
definitive case for the evidence as also for the illegal
nature of the secrecy. Hence, no legal entity can insist on
silence.
A CALL FOR REVELATION
Aside from these legal arguments, there is a compelling
moral and ethical
reason to end the secrecy. First,
humanity is suffering needlessly due to the continued
withholding of vital scientific and technological knowledge
acquired through these programmes.
These technologies allow for the extraction of useful
energy from the so-called quantum vacuum state. This means
that every village in Africa or India could have an
off-the-grid energy source that extracts energy from the space
around the device, with no need for the burning of fuels or
transmission lines from central utilities. Such “free energy”
generators would utterly transform the current, seemingly
hopeless world situation as regards poverty, pollution,
economic stagnation and the like.
Second, the world stands to gain from new critical
technology. The implications of replacing fossil fuels and
nuclear power with these new, advanced energy and propulsion
systems cannot be overstated: every aspect of life on earth
will be affected and a truly sustainable, technologically
advanced civilisation can be built. The developing world can
bypass the stage of industrial pollution and expensive
centralised utilities and go directly to point-of-use power
generation. As abundance grows exponentially, educational
opportunities will increase. Global warming will cease and
pollution generally will be brought under control.
Desalinating sea water will become inexpensive and help
prevent desertification and resource depletion. And we will
have no more oil wars.
Third, disclosure of these secret programmes is not without
its potentially negative consequences. It may be argued that
such a new technology could have destabilising military
applications. This is no doubt true — every new technology can
be harnessed for war. But this brings up an important point:
are we, as a civilisation, prepared to see humanity commit
planeticide — the killing of an entire planet — just so we can
avoid the respon-sibility of creating a peaceful world? The
state of the world will not be significantly improved by
tinkering around the edges of oil, coal, solar or wind power,
and we are facing a cruel future of environmental decay,
impoverished exploding populations, global instability and
war. This, while a comprehensive solution to these problems
sits in a black box.
Hence, it is time for these technologies to be properly and
carefully disclosed and applied. The International Court of
Justice and other international agencies must take a
leadership role in investigating and disclosing the facts, and
facilitating the release of these new energy and propulsion
systems. The Disclosure Project stands ready to provide full
information and briefings to governmental leaders,
institutions and agencies.
The international community must investigate these issues —
and stop looking the other way. Illegal secrecy, withholding
solutions to our most pressing concerns, is one of the
greatest moral and political crises of our time, if not the
greatest one. The time has come that this publicly funded but
“hijacked” research be made available for the benefit of all
of humanity. That six billion humans continue to live in a
manner that cannibalises our home planet while solutions are
deliberately and with malice withheld cannot be allowed. No
matter how great the financial or other interests may be in
propping up the dying oil economy, we cannot let our oil
addiction drag the entire body of humanity down with it.
Instead, with courage and care, let us disclose the truth,
and allow these wondrous new sciences to provide humanity with
the means to live peacefully and in abundance on earth. This
is no utopian dream. We already have the means to create such
a world. Now we must find the will.
