[ [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.
