Million Faxes on Washington - Will Obama be the UFO Disclosure President?

[TeddsAdventure]

Groups Wants Next President to Disclose 'Truth' About UFOs

We don't need to tell you that the next president of the United States is going to have a lot to do. He has to fix the economy, the environment and Wall Street. And he's going to have to explain the whole UFO thing to the U.S. public, if the Paradigm Research Group has its way.
The group, which says it is dedicated to ending the "government imposed Truth Embargo regarding an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race," is launching a pressure campaign it hopes will force the government to fess up. Its Million Fax on Washington campaign is just that: an initiative to bury the next president in faxes and mail, all of it demanding that the U.S. government reveal the truth about its alleged knowledge of UFO activity.
In an interview with Wired.com, Paradigm founder Stephen Bassett says that President Carter, who reported seeing a UFO in 1969, signed off on two studies after taking office but that they were kept under wraps for national security reasons. Bassett says reports of extraterrestrial sighting have been on the upswing since the end of the Cold War, creating pressure on the government to "disclose."
"Witnesses are coming forward," Bassett says, "and 50 percent of the U.S. public believes that this is real."
Adding to the pressure is recent moves by other nations.
"You have the U.K. declassifying reports of extraterrestrial sightings," Bassett says, "and members of the Mexican Air Force videotaping what they think are UFOs." He says China is also conducting UFO research, but France is the most likely nation to disclose unilaterally. "They are a proud, independent people," he explains. "And they're very sensitive to their legacy. This is an area where they can take the lead."
Extraterrestrial work is nothing new for Bassett, who in the 1990s studied at the Program for Extraordinary Experience Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts. (Laugh if you want, but the organization was founded by Dr. John Mack, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and psychiatry professor at Harvard Medical School). In 1996, Bassett founded Paradigm with the goal of "using all means possible to confront the United States."
In 1999, he got political by founding the Extraterrestrial Phenomena Political Action Committee, the first PAC in history to target the politics of UFO/ET phenomena. Paradigm's work has included supporting political candidates, lobbying for congressional hearings on extraterrestrials and hosting the annual X-Conference, an event designed to share collective knowledge about the government's involvement with extraterrestrial phenomena.
Bassett says disclosure offers the incoming president an ideal chance to win over a tired, mistrustful public.
"You're coming off eight years of an administration known for its secrecy," he says. "Disclosure is a way to break with the past and start fresh." He calls Barack Obama "an innocent on the issue" but says John McCain would have more to explain for. "He's been in Washington for a long time. With all his military contacts, you have to wonder if he already knows."
Bassett seems confident that his fax campaign will be a success, and is counting on viral marketing to help spread the word (his Facebook group has only 76 members, but it's early). For Bassett, the big question is not whether disclosure will happen, but what will follow.
"It is going to be fascinating to watch the tug of war between the people and the government once this gets out," he says. "The people will want to know everything, but some of the information will be held for national security reasons."
Bassett says disclosure would be the most profound event in human history. "With all due respect to the Christ event," it took a long time for that information to be disseminated. "With this, the impact will be instant."

UFO enthusiasts urge Obama to release X-Files about alien sightings

UFO aficionados are urging Barack Obama to release classified documents about sightings of alien spacecraft, spurred on by support from within his own White House team.

They have written to the president-elect, pressing him to reveal the contents of America's X Files.

In a letter, the Extraterrestrial Phenomenon Political Action Committee asks Mr Obama to 'end the six-decade truth embargo regarding an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race'.


The Extraterrestrial Phenomenon Political Action Committee is calling for an end to the 'six-decade truth embargo' about alien spacecraft

They hope to have garnered 40,000 signatures in support of their campaign by the time Mr Obama is inaugurated in January.

The enthusiasts are encouraged by public statements from John Podesta, who is running the president-elect's transition team, and Bill Richardson, the Governor of New Mexico, who is expected to land a cabinet post.

When he was the White House chief of staff under Bill Clinton, Mr Podesta was in charge of a project to declassify 800 million pages of intelligence documents.

He said in a press conference: 'It is time for the government to declassify records that are more than 25 years old and to provide scientists with data that will assist in determining the real nature of this phenomenon.'


UFO enthusiasts want Barack Obama to follow Britain's example

Gov Richardson is a fellow UFO enthusiast. He has written a forward to a book on the 'Roswell Incident' in New Mexico, where an alien spacecraft crash is said to have landed in 1947.

Campaigners believe the corpses of humanoid aliens have been locked away by the government.

Gov Richardson has urged the Pentagon to disclose what really happened, and last year insisted there had been a 'cover-up'.

The committee wants the U.S. to follow Britain's example in making public reported contact with UFOs.

Stephen Bassett, Executive Director of the Extraterrestrial Phenomenon Political Action Committee, told the Sunday Telegraph: 'The release of documents in Britain and France has put huge pressure on the US. It makes the government here look pretty stupid.

'I think we are seeing the Democrats moving towards disclosure.'

The group wants military services and intelligence agencies to brief the incoming president about what they know.

They also urge Mr Obama to open congressional hearings 'to take testimony from scores of government witnesses who have already come forward with extraordinary evidence and are prepared to testify under oath.'

To: All PRG Supporters
Re: PRG current status
I'll be brief. The Million Fax on Washington is right on schedule. Letters, faxes and emails are pouring into the new President Elect. The mainstream media is beginning to take notice (see article links below) with new interviews being booked including Alan Colmes' national show at midnight tonight. Examples of MFW correspondence to Barack Obama are now up on the MFW website. All good.
Not so good. The unfolding financial fiasco has hit the core PRG support group hard (as well as all of you, and things will get worse before they get better). This core support group has kept PRG going through thick and thin, but has had to take a step back. PRG and X-PPAC have financially zeroed out right when the momentum is building to impact the disclosure process.
If, despite the financial uncertainties we face, you can provide any funding to PRG or X-PPAC at this time, it would be most helpful and greatly appreciated. Contributions can be handled at these webpages:
