I'm going to quote an ex-CIA official because I would like very much
|
|
to see what people on the net think of his views.
|
|
|
|
This is by Victor Marchetti, former Executive Assistant to the Deputy Director
|
|
and Special Assistant to the Executive Director of the CIA. It appeared
|
|
as *How the CIA views the UFO Phenomenon,* in SECOND LOOK, Vol.1. No.7,
|
|
Washington DC, May 1979, pp. 2-7.
|
|
|
|
He says ....*we have, indeed, been contacted...by extraterrestrial beings,
|
|
and the U.S. government, in collusion with the other national powers of the
|
|
earth, is determined to keep this information from the general public.
|
|
The purpose of the international conspiracy is to maintain a workable stability
|
|
among the nations of the world and for them, in turn, to retain institutional
|
|
control over their respective populations. Thus, for these governments to
|
|
admit that there are beings from outer space...with mentalities and
|
|
technological
|
|
capabilities obviously far superior to ours, could, once fully perceived
|
|
by the average person, erode the foundations of the earth's traditional
|
|
power structure. Political and legal systems, religions, economic and
|
|
social institutions could all soon become meaningless in the mind of the
|
|
public. The national oligarchical establishments, even civilization as we
|
|
now know it, could collapse into anarchy. Such extreme conclusions are not
|
|
necessaril7y valid, but they probably accurately reflect the fears of the
|
|
*ruling classes* of the major nations, whose leaders (particularly those
|
|
in the intelligence business) have always advocated excessive governmental
|
|
secrecy as being necessary to preserve *national security.**
|
|
|
|
That's the quote.
|
|
|
|
So there it all is, the worst fears, even down to the collapse of civilization
|
|
as we know it. What I'm wondering is, what do people think about this now?
|
|
WOULD the mass of people go completely ape if it was established that UFOs
|
|
and Visitors are real? I can't quite make up my mind. Let's have some
|
|
discussion on this and see what peoples's views are.
|
|
