My answer to this new “petition of
disclosure “ in bold-italic.
The presence of Extra-terrestrial civilizations on and
around Earth has been publicly attested by hundreds of credible first-hand
witnesses, including military personnel, astronauts and civil aviation pilots.
This
is a fallacy. These witnesses must show some concrete evidence. Hundreds of
credible witnesses a In the demand of Disclosure to the White
House, we will find several fallacies at work. Of course, the petition is only
effective to keep the myth of the Cover-Up alive, that means it’s directed to
the believers in the ET=UFO hypothesis and not to the government.
The petitioners presumably know already what
must be disclosed, so they are asking for a disclosure already disclosed. The
government apparently knows also what’s under closure.
However, the solicitants do not have any
clear evidence of the presumed extraterrestrial presence in our planet. If this
is so, they should ask IF there are extraterrestrials here or in any other part
of the Universe.
The assumption that the government knows
about ET visitors and keeps the secret, is given as a self-evident fact, and
this is not so. Consequently, these ufologists know perfectly well that the
government will not give an answer to the petition. In more than sixty years we
have no disclosure and no evidences. We have only words and these words only
defer, postpone the impossible disclosure with new words. ETs are text, not
fact, no presence.
A priori, this lack of answer will be
presented to the public as a denial of recognition but never as ignorance.
So, the mythologists will buy time and
insist in the presumed cover-up as a fact. The negative answer becomes positive
for them because they will have something to talk about and to write.
For them, the conspiracy theory is the only
answer to the silence of the authorities.
It is not true that “Hundreds of military
and government agency witnesses have come forward with testimony confirming
this extraterrestrial presence. Opinion polls now indicate more than 50% of the
American people believe there is an extraterrestrial presence and more than 80%
believe the government is not telling the truth about this phenomenon. “
This fallacy is called argumentum ad populum.
The argumentum ad populum appeals to popular attitudes instead of presenting
relevant material. In other words is based on prejudice. Frequently, these
tricky polls ask the public if they believe in Unidentified Flying Objects and
of course they believe in UFOs but UFOs are identified 95 % of the times as
natural phenomena or human artifacts.
That’s why the word used is “believe”. In Lewis
Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass the White Queen says, "Why, sometimes
I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." This is
often quoted in mockery of the common ability of people to entertain beliefs
contrary to fact.
Also, the disclosure petition incurs in the
fallacy called poisoning the well, and creates unnecessary discredit, because
it doesn’t consider the denial of extraterrestrial presence as a valid alternative.
“It has also been the subject of a global cover-up for more than 60
years, according to testimony from such witnesses, made public through Dr
Steven Greer's Disclosure Project and recent documentary, Sirius, as well as
through the Citizens' Hearing on Disclosure that took place at the National
Press Club in Washington DC in April-May of 2013”
Dr Greer’s film “Sirius” is a complete failure.
His “alien corpse” is a hoax.
As usual, the EXO
mythologists are wrong. After all it's not easy to invent extraterrestrials
visiting our good old Earth. (some people make a living selling these
fantasies.)
DNA tests on
six-inch skeleton of 'alien-looking' creature with over-sized head prove it was
actually human claim scientists. 10 years ago the bones of a six-inch skeleton
with a large head were found in Chile
There was speculation
that the Atacama humanoid, nicknamed Ata, was either an aborted fetus, a monkey
or even an alien
Now scientists at
Stanford University have carried out conclusive DNA tests which have found the
remains are those of a mutated human
SIRIUS, the movie
about the Alien that was not alien as usual, is a giant publicity machine to
spout ridiculous ideas.
“no halfway
intelligent person will be swayed by this film”
“This cover-up, using media disinformation and hoaxes, has kept humanity from
open contact with highly-advanced benevolent galactic citizens, capable of
interstellar travel faster than the speed of light. In doing so, world leaders
have deprived this planet of advanced propulsion and energy technologies that
could have completely transformed human civilization by now, to a level of
global well-being, connectedness, and environmental health few have yet even
dreamed of.”
Of course you must
show some evidence concerning this, but you haven’t any.
The Disclosure myth is psychological manipulation of the worst kind.
Psychological manipulation is a type of social
influence that aims to change the perception or behavior of others through
underhanded, deceptive, or even abusive tactics.
By advancing the interests of the manipulator,
often at another's expense, such methods could be considered exploitative,
abusive, devious and deceptive. Depending on the context and motivations,
social influence may constitute underhanded manipulation.
One of the manipulators’ methods is the
creation of expectations in the public. This, by the way, is one of the
practices of the stage hypnotists and the illusionists.
In religious
indoctrination, the perpetual waiting for the second coming of Christ or the
Messiah is a good example of this technique of mind control.
Day after day, the
ET-UFO professionals insist in their fallacy: the Disclosure is Imminent. For
some reason a few people believes in this “promise” and will go on financing the
new priests of the technological religion of the Aliens and UFOs.
But this means not
only a marketing method but a dishonest manipulation. People waiting for the
disclosure become anxious and in many cases loss interest in their daily life
and work and the constant waiting becomes destructive and negative.
This is truly
serious because nobody has the right to use other people’s anxiety and hopes in
his own benefit.
“Our planet can only head into deeper crisis under the
control of a military-industrial complex and fossil fuel corporations that pull
the strings of government to delay alternatives that would see their power
crumble, along with a cabal of vested interests.
The open acknowledgement of advanced extra-terrestrial peoples by Earth's
governments is the step needed to begin the next chapter for humanity and our
planet.
Let's take a stand for compassion and freedom NOW, and call on the United
Nations and all world governments to step up, acknowledge the truth of benevolent
ET contact with Earth, and start engaging openly with our galactic neighbors to
heal our world.”
Lies after lies.
Selling fiction as fact.
This is the answer
to the cover up-disclosure myth.
OFFICIAL WHITE
HOUSE RESPONSE TO formally acknowledge an extraterrestrial presence engaging
the human race - Disclosure. and 1 other petition
Searching for ET,
But No Evidence Yet
By Phil Larson
Thank you for
signing the petition asking the Obama Administration to acknowledge an
extraterrestrial presence here on Earth.
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. In addition, there is no credible information to suggest that any
evidence is being hidden from the public's eye.
However, that
doesn't mean the subject of life outside our planet isn't being discussed or
explored. In fact, there are a number of projects working toward the goal of
understanding if life can or does exist off Earth. Here are a few examples:
SETI—the Search
for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence—was originally stood up with help from NASA,
but has since been moved to other sources of private funding. SETI's main
purpose is to act as a giant ear on behalf of the human race, pointing an array
of ground-based telescopes towards space to listen for any signal from another
world.
Kepler is a NASA
spacecraft in orbit that's main goal is to search for Earth-like planets. Such
a planet would be located in the "Goldilocks" zone of a distant solar
system—not too hot and not too cold—and could potentially be habitable by life
as we know it. The Kepler mission is specifically designed to survey our region
of the Milky Way galaxy to discover Earth-sized, rocky planets in or near the
habitable zone of the star (sun) they orbit.
The Mars Science
Laboratory, Curiosity, is an automobile-sized rover that NASA is launching
soon. The rover's onboard laboratory will study rocks, soils, and other geology
in an effort to detect the chemical building blocks of life (e.g., forms of
carbon) on Mars and will assess what the Martian environment was like in the
past to see if it could have harbored life.
A last point: Many
scientists and mathematicians have looked with a statistical mindset at the
question of whether life likely exists beyond Earth and have come to the
conclusion that the odds are pretty high that somewhere among the trillions and
trillions of stars in the universe there is a planet other than ours that is
home to life.
Many have also
noted, however, that the odds of us making contact with any of them—especially
any intelligent ones—are extremely small, given the distances involved.
But that's all
statistics and speculation. The fact is we have no credible evidence of
extraterrestrial presence here on Earth.

But the ET
mythology is in total crisis.
UFO-Extraterrestrials
Mythology is an industry and needs to protect its markets as any business does.
For that reason, lack of evidences is mostly solved by the conspiracy theories.
However, there are
certain rules even for imaginary conspiracies. Apparently, the biggest
conspiracies produce more justifications to the nonsense rhetoric.
For example, let
us see how the ET fantasists work with the conspiracy theories. The idea is
that extraterrestrials are here, but most of the world’s governments and the
whole scientific establishment conspire to deny the ET presence to the public.
Now this is very useful for the exo-fantasists, because anyone making questions
or demanding evidences is characterized as an agent provocateur working for the
big cover-up.
For those who
pretend those extraterrestrial civilizations are present in our world and in
contact with governments, there are no legitimate questions, doubts or
different points of view. On the contrary, all those questioning exofantasists
definitions of reality are condemned as sinister operatives or called
ignorants.
Obviously the
conspiracy theories protect the markets and keep the believers passive, but
there are some problems about this. In a society where there are no secrets and
the Italian philosopher Gianni Vattimo called the Transparent Society, nobody
can guarantee that the presence of ETs can be kept secret. At least this is not
possible through the regular systems of information control.
Consequently, the
imaginary conspiracy must have supernatural elements. The cabal is pyramidal
and the big controllers are practically supernatural, and here is when
religious fantasies are helpful. In the end, Lucifer will be the conspiracy big
chief.
As a result of all
these inventions, it is more and more impossible to pretend to be Scientists,
and the ET mythologists become paranoid mystics. (This will also affect the
intellectual composition of the believers’ groups.)
The ufologists’
narrative will become primitive and absurd, and intelligent people interested
in the UFO phenomenon will be repealed by such paranoid and pseudo-religious
garbage.
This situation
puts the “ET experts” in a difficult situation: they are forced to re-invent
the ET visitors every day, and also to keep their conspiracy memes alive and
credible.
Something else:
The discredited whistle-blowers can be protected for some time by the
omnipotent cover-up, but not forever. Governments are worried only about true
whistle-blowers, and these have nothing to do with the paranormal
“revelations”.
UFO self proclaimed experts tell the public
that the disclosure is imminent but sixty years of “imminence” is too much,
don’t you think?
Rational
individuals understand the obvious: there is no disclosure simply because there
is nothing to disclose.
Selling the
UFO-ET-CONSPIRACY mythology was easier in the 50’s and 60’s, but now perhaps
it’s time to change the show.
