Will there be disclosure of UFO files under the Obama administration?

By Dan Bacher

If
there was ever a chance to disclose the truth about the massive UFO
cover up by the U.S. national security state since 1947, it could come
under the incoming Obama presidential administration.

John
Podesta, chief of Obama's transition team and Clinton’s Chief of Staff
from 1998 to 2001, has been a longtime advocate of openness in
government and a strong supporter of the release of UFO documents by
the U.S. In a ground breaking news conference at the National Press
Club in Washington, D.C. with investigative reporter Leslie Kean in
2002, he urged the federal government to "open the books" on government
UFO investigations.

"I think it's time to open the books on
questions that have remained in the dark on the question of government
investigations of UFOs," said Podesta. "It's time to find out what the
truth really is that's out there. We ought to do it because it's right,
we ought to do it because the American people, quite frankly, can
handle the truth and we ought to do it because it's the law." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9ttSXYwZsg)

However,
his enthusiasm for the release of UFO files doesn’t make Podesta a
“believer” in alien life. In an interview with the Las Vegas Journal,
Podesta said that he was "skeptical that there is extraterrestrial
life."

Lawyer Stephen Bassett of the Paradigm Research Group
(PRG) is now spearheading a national political campaign, the “Million
Fax on Washington” campaign, to pressure Obama to release UFO files and
"end the UFO Truth Embargo." Bassett, in an interview this week on the
George Noory radio show, expressed strong optimism about the
possibility of the opening of long-hidden UFO documents under an Obama
administration, particularly when an advocate of UFO document
disclosure like John Podesta is heading his transition team.

"The
United States has a new President Elect and PRG is notifying the
political media to be on alert for a large quantity of faxes and emails
heading for the senatorial office of Barrack Obama and later the
Transition Office," according to a news release from Bassett's group on
November 5.

Bassett said that letters would begin arriving in
the second week of November after clearing security screening. "What is
notable about this particular correspondence is it will be calling on
the new president to 1) demand and receive a full briefing from his
military and intelligence heads regarding the extraterrestrial presence
issue 2) press the new Congress to immediately call hearings to take
government witness testimony to relevant events and evidence, 3)
formally acknowledge the extraterrestrial presence to the American
people – Disclosure, and 4) release for peaceful development
extraterrestrial derived technologies studied and reverse engineered
for six decades in black budgeted research programs,” according to
Bassett.

"The Million Fax on Washington was launched to
motivate the American people to send a clear collective statement to
the President Elect, between November 5, 2008 and January 20, 2009,
that the people in this matter 'CAN handle the truth' and 'DO have a
right to know,” he said.

Political pressure to release UFO
documents long held in secret files by the U.S. government and other
countries is building momentum. Last November 12, former Arizona
Governor Fife Symington moderated a distinguished panel of former
high-ranking government, aviation, and military officials from seven
countries who discussed encounters with UFOs and official
investigations at the National Press Club. Filmmaker James Fox and
investigative journalist Leslie Kean of CFi, the Coalition for Freedom
of Information, organized the event.

Brazil under President
Lula da Silva, Chile under Presidents Ricardo Lagos and Michele
Bachelet, Bolivia under President Evo Morales, the Peruvian military,
the French government and Great Britain's Ministry of Defense have
released or have begun to release their government's UFO files.

Among
political progressives in Latin America, UFOs are an important issue
and have factored in campaigns, such as the campaign of Socialist Party
President Lagos of Chile several years ago. He actually ran an ad,
targeted at young people and students, about his promise to release UFO
files. There is little or no ridicule whatsoever about this issue among
Latin American progressives and the public.

This contrasts
with the U.S. where many "progressives" are so brainwashed and
culturally conditioned by the corporate media and U.S. government
cover-up, in spite of their pronouncements otherwise, that they believe
the national security state propaganda about UFOs and Roswell. Rather
than actually investigate the issue, they ridicule the courageous
political activists who challenge the official CIA/national security
state official story denying the reality of UFOs.

However,
this is all rapidly changing as more and more people in the U.S. and
throughout the world challenge the lies they have been told about UFOs
for decades by government agencies. I urge everybody to support the
Million Fax on Washington campaign! Stand up for democracy and an end
to the government cover-up!

Here is the latest news release from the Paradigm Research Group:

The Million Fax on Washington is a project of the Paradigm Research Group

Press Release – November 5, 2008

Washington,
DC – The United States has a new President Elect and PRG is notifying
the political media to be on alert for a large quantity of faxes and
emails heading for the senatorial office of Barack Obama and later the
Transition Office.

Letters will begin arriving in the second
week of November after clearing security screening. What is notable
about this particular correspondence is it will be calling on the new
president to 1) demand and receive a full briefing from his military
and intelligence heads regarding the extraterrestrial presence issue,
2) press the new Congress to immediately call hearings to take
government witness testimony to relevant events and evidence, 3)
formally acknowledge the extraterrestrial presence to the American
people – Disclosure, and 4) release for peaceful development
extraterrestrial derived technologies studied and reverse engineered
for six decades in black budgeted research programs.

The
Million Fax on Washington was launched to motivate the American people
to send a clear collective statement to the President Elect, between
November 5, 2008 and January 20, 2009, that the people in this matter
“CAN handle the truth” and “DO have a right to know.”

This initiative is gaining international attention, and citizens of
other countries are joining the effort. The decision by the United
States Government, formalized in 1952, to embargo the truth regarding
an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race impacts all
peoples and nations.

PRG has created a Facebook group page –
Million Fax on Washington. Facebook is the most powerful networking
community on the Internet with one hundred million active users, and
PRG expects this community to contribute a significant portion of the
letters, faxes and emails to the President Elect. PRG executive
director Stephen Bassett has conducted 30 plus media interviews on the
Million Fax with more scheduled throughout the 77 days of the
presidential transition.
