Billy Cox of the Herald Tribune has a very
interesting post on his De Void blog right now. Taking his
cue from political activist Stephen Basset, Cox points out that the
recent allegation made by former CIA Entertainment
Liaison Officer Chase Brandon concerning the ‘Roswell incident’ directly
contradicts the White House Office of Science & Technology Policy’s official position that “The U.S.
government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an
extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human
race.”
Since June 23 of this year, Brandon has repeatedly
made public statements to the effect that the wreckage recovered near Roswell by
US military personnel in July 1947 was, in fact, extraterrestrial in origin and
that alien beings were also recovered from the crash site/s.

In his latest blog post Cox draws our attention to Bassett’s
“investigate-Brandon petition,” which requires 25,000 signatures to elicit a
formal response from the Obama Administration. Filed on the White House website
on July 10, the petition has, to date, garnered around
350 signatures, “so it doesn’t stand a chance of getting the administration on
record again,” writes Cox, who also adds, quite rightly, that even if Brandon’s
Roswell story is baloney – indeed, especially
if it’s baloney – his claims raise serious questions -- questions the CIA and
the White House have thus far shown no interest in addressing:
“Why did the CIA enlist such a loose cannon to protect
its image in Hollywood? When is it OK for a high-ranking intelligence official
to make up stories involving national security? Disinformation is obviously an
age-old tactic to protect state secrets. Is it in play this time?”
Brandon – a 35 year Agency veteran – is sticking to
his Roswell story, despite the Agency having already brushed aside his unequivocal claims. “Were
this a more conventional security issue,” notes Cox, “Brandon would likely be
telling his story under oath by now. And nobody would be waiting for 25,000
names to make it happen.”
In short, Cox is calling for the government to subpoena the Roswell ‘whistle-blower’.

ReplyDeleteThat is a very interesting angle to explore.
Forget the damn We The People page! This is an election year, dammit! Let's spice it up with Roswell questions to both candidates ;)
Carajo! I can't leave a comment in Billy's column because I'm not on Facebook. This is what I wanted to write:
ReplyDeleteShouldn't the UFO community use the fact that this in an election year to its advantage? Forget the damn We The People page! Ask both candidates directly:
* A former CIA senior agent has gone on the record that he personally witnessed evidence which confirmed the otherworldly nature of the Roswell incident.
* The White House officially denied any knowledge about extraterrestrial visitation.
* Ergo, how can policy-makers possibly do their jobs and reach informed decisions, if they are deliberately kept out of the loop of highly sensitive information by the intelligence agencies that are sworn to serve the civil branch of the US government?
* if they are not on the need-to-know basis on Roswell, what else escapes their knowledge?
(You want to contextualize it? Compare Roswell with Fast & Furious, and you OUGHT to receive some type of response)
Bravo, Miguel! I'll email your comment to Billy and Steve Bassett.
