The deep politics of Mars were explored by distinguished Vancouver futurist, Alfred Lambremont Webre<\/a> and Andrew D. Basiago<\/a>, lawyer and author of \u201cThe Discovery of Life on Mars\u201d<\/a>, during Wednesday night\u2019s broadcast of Truth Frequency Radio. During the show<\/a>, Basiago stated that by <\/em>calling<\/a> him both a \u201cnut\u201d and a \u201cdisinformation agent\u201d on Coast to Coast AM, the Enterprise Mission<\/a>'s Richard C. Hoagland had surrendered \u201cthe mantle of leadership of Mars research.\u201d Other statements by the pair described their encounters with \u201cCIA enforcement\u201d along with a de facto<\/em> North American truth embargo of information about the reality of life on Mars.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A shot in the dark<\/strong><\/p>\n A recent media flash point highlighting Mars research was a May 26, 2010 comment made by the Enterprise Mission\u2019s Richard C. Hoagland on Coast to Coast AM<\/a>, the most-listened-to late night talk radio show in North America. In refusing to respond to a request for comment by a caller regarding the work of Basiago, Hoagland explained why in this way:<\/p>\n He's an absolute 100% nut and he is being paid by the intelligence agencies to spread disinformation far and wide."<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n According to his biography, Andrew D. Basiago, a graduate of both UCLA and the University of Cambridge, is a lawyer, writer, and 21st century visionary. The team leader of Project Pegasus, he is an emerging figure in the Disclosure Movement who is leading a campaign to lobby the United States government to disclose such controversial truths as the fact that Mars harbors life and that the United States has achieved \u201cquantum access\u201d to past and future events.<\/p>\n Alfred Webre\u2019s biography describes him as a space activist who works with others to prevent the "weaponization" of space and transform the permanent war economy into a sustainable, peaceful, cooperative, Space Age society, re-integrating with a larger, intelligent Universe society. Webre is the author of \u201cEXOPOLITICS: Politics, Government, and Law in the Universe<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n Robertson Panel enforcer<\/strong><\/p>\n During their interview on Truth Frequency Radio, Basiago and Webre both responded to false and defamatory attacks made against them by Hoagland on Coast.<\/p>\n Webre pointed out:<\/p>\n [On] one program he called me "crazy". He actually called me "crazy"… Paola Harris <\/a>was in the living room with him and can testify to that, and there are 15 million people that heard him call me "crazy" because of these assertions that I\u2019m making that there\u2019s present life on Mars. That sounds a lot to me like what the Robertson Panel recommendations were, right? In other words, why should Richard C. Hoagland, another private researcher, be enforcing … the CIA Robertson Panel<\/a> recommendations of 1953 to debunk any researcher and ridicule them in public if they bring up extraterrestrial issues?\u201c <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Webre later asked again, \u201cHow is it that Mr. Hoagland, who supposedly is a private citizen and is a researcher, can now get up and with impunity on a program that goes to 15 million people and apply the standards of the 1953 Robertson Panel?\u201d<\/p>\n Intelligence attack<\/strong><\/p>\n Speaking directly to Hoagland's remarks, Basiago attempted to clarify:<\/p>\n Richard, which am I? Am I crazy, or am I working in a very un-crazy way to spread disinformation for US intelligence agencies? In other words, these are two claims that are impossible to both be true simultaneously, so each discredits the other claim.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Basiago also gave his version of the chronology of events leading up to the flash point on Coast:<\/p>\n We had just proved at Alien Event,<\/a> that Mars is inhabited. And I had just called on the second man to walk on the Moon, in this epoch of civilization at least, namely, Buzz Aldrin<\/a> to evaluate our data and either affirm or deny the premise that Mars is inhabited … I think this actually provoked the US intelligence community working through Richard Hoagland to attack me in the way that he did.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Get out of the way<\/strong><\/p>\n Weber elaborated more forcefully:<\/p>\n There\u2019s an urgency to the work that we\u2019re doing. We are trying to get to the mainstream with this information that many governmental agencies and sort of hangers-on are trying to block. And we\u2019re trying to get to these space agencies and educate them that Mars is inhabited, such that they won\u2019t run into the cognitive dissonance and still be acting out the imperatives of the 1953 Robertson panel … The clock is ticking here. And it\u2019s vital that we get this out. And it\u2019s vital that if people in the research community, like Richard Hoagland, don\u2019t transform, well then that they get out of the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Other contenders<\/strong><\/p>\n There have been other notable critics of Basiago\u2019s Mars research. In a story for the Discovery Channel Website, Ray Villard, the news director for the Hubble Space Telescope, wrote, \u201cAt a recent convention called, you guessed it, Conspiracy Con 2009<\/a>, self-styled Mars sleuth, Andrew Basiago, accused NASA of hiding evidence of Martian life in photos taken from the rover Spirit<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
