Non Threatening ETs and PRG Press Release

James Cameron was the director of "The Abyss", which was about ETs coming to Earth and warning us about our warring and destructive ways. His new movie "Avatar" shows what would happen if humans in our current state were allowed to roam space freely.

PRG Update - December 13, 2009

X-Conference 2010 Status
www.x-conference.com

PRG, while not a non-profit organization, is not a business and has never generated a profit. The X-Conference was launched primarily to bring the UFO/ET/Exopolitical issues to Washington, DC and park them under the collective nose of the politicians and the political media. If the X-Conference generated any revenues, that would have been useful. It hasn't

After the 2009 event PRG owed $26,000. That amount has been reduced to approximately $16,000, most of which is owed to the Hilton Hotel. The Hilton has now turned the matter over to attorneys and began making threats of further actions. PRG is of two minds on this. On the one hand the X-Conference has generated over $200,000 in revenue to the Hilton Hotel since 2004. On the other hand the hotel has been patient about the matter as it has been over seven months.

The issue is not about assets. PRG has none. What is important is the advocacy work, and that is now being impacted. X-Conference 2010 cannot go forward and other projects are slowed down by this distraction.

PRG needs someone who has the commitment to the truth process and the means to back it up to intervene and provide the funds to break this impasse - either as a contribution or a loan. There is no other option.

If this assistance comes before January 1, X-Conference 2010 can be promoted and PRG can get back to doing what it was created to do - ending the truth embargo as soon as possible.


Million Fax on Washington
www.faxonwashington.org

There has been some confusion about the MFW. Is it over? Not at all. The MFW will continue until Disclosure takes place. New publicity for this effort is being planned and will get underway strongly at the first of the new year. Thousands more letters, faxes and emails will be on their way to the White House press corps care of the White House Correspondents Association (WHCA).

Why the emphasis on the White House Correspondents Association? Two reasons: 1) a decision to ask the tough and appropriate questions by as few as two or three White House reporters could end the truth embargo in a matter of weeks, and 2) the White House itself gets a huge amount of correspondence. The WHCA gets a tiny fraction by comparison. Therefore, a WHCA focused campaign will stand out and be much more difficult to hide.

Why hasn't the White House or the WHCA acknowledged this correspondence? Simple. If they did, it would open the door for the press to ask to see the letters. The content of this correspondence would then set off a new round of questions - the very questions that need to be asked.

So they have to act as if nothing is happening and hope the MFW goes away. It isn't.


Recent Events of Note

Over a span of just a few days several matters manifested of some exopolitical significance. They are as follows:

Gary McKinnon - The indicted UK computer intruder has reached the very last days of his appeal process and now looks to be extradited to the United States to stand trial. PRG will be somewhat shocked if this happens, but, alas, these are interesting times and not much that governments do makes a great deal of sense anymore.

Whether or not it is in the best interest of McKinnon, if he is extradited it is going to create a huge media storm with considerable reference to the UFO/ET issues as well as the truth embargo. This will include numerous media spots for UFO/ET researchers and activists, lots of new YouTube videos and considerable print coverage, all of which PRG will assiduously archive.

In short, the extradition of Gary McKinnon will be one huge headache for the anti-Disclosure elements within the U.S. government.

Barack Obama - On December 1 at the United States Military Academy President Obama announced an escalation (surge) to the war in Afghanistan including the addition of 30,000 troops. As of this announcement the President took ownership of this war. Quite soon, if not already, the President will also have his name on the 62-year old UFO/ET truth embargo. Certainly this will be the case as of January 20 and the end of his first year in office. Consequently, PRG now sees a slightly greater likelihood that Disclosure will come initially from another first-world nation. With that in mind..........

British Ministry of Defence Closes Down the UK UFO Desk - the UK MOD made an almost casual but rather striking announcement it has closed down its UFO desk as of December 1, 2009. Significantly, the MOD indicated it would continue to release more government UFO files. The full statement can be read at: http://tinyurl.com/btezh3

He has made a new one called "Avatar", that is perfectly illustrating what we humans would do if we were let out into space at this stage of our evolution.

*Not an official message from Disclosure Project*

Shell Game: Shut Down Guantanamo, Send Them To Illinois

Yay. Good for Obama. He's shutting down Guantanamo!

But the problem was never the location.

Move 'em to Illinois, New Mexico, Texas, Alaska, do what you will.

They are still 'detainees', in prison, never having had the opportunity of trial by jury, no matter where you put them.

Obama says he's going to make sure they get their day in court. That's the change that matters.

Otherwise these surface changes are not Hope and Change, it's still hope for change.

Wanted: Gary McKinnon Supporters. Must Live in London

Can any UK based people please forward these details or post them on sites and blogs.

Greetings all,

This is a last minute plea for support for an end of year, last chance show of support for Gary McKinnon. Recently Alan 'Where's My Backbone?' Johnson claimed he could not intervene in the unfair extradition process now in its final stages. Gary could literally be in the USA by the start of 2010.

The demonstration was set to include meeting up outside Buckingham Palace but this has been stopped in the last few hours by the Met Police. The original demo is however set for Tuesday 15th December 2009 - 12 noon to 2pm at the Home Office, Marsham Street, London. Details below.

Home Office

Time: Tuesday 15th December 2009 from 12 noon until 2pm

Location:
Home Office main entrance, Peel Building (between the defensive / ornamental moats ponds) , Marsham Street, Westminster, London - see this location map

Nearest Tube stations:
Westminster or St. James Park - see the Transport for London website for journey planning details.

Buses:
London Bus Route 88 Clapham Common - Vauxhall - Westminster - Oxford Circus - Camden Town, stops directly outside the Home Office main entrance in Marsham Street, supposedly every 7 or 8 minutes.

Obama-The UFO Disclosure President-Not

Recently, an anonymous left reader left a comment very critical of my article Obama-The Dislosure President.

Written a year ago, that article reflected the possibilites of Hope and Change that Obama promised during his election and how it might relate to the Disclosure Movement.

Of course, Obama never made any promises to disclose anything about ETs.

But it seemed that Obama was promising something other than business as usual, and after the dark Bush/Cheney years, that was most welcome. That promise could've had important implications for the Disclosure Movement. In fact, within the first week of taking office, Obama signed a Presidential Order requiring agencies to disclose information that they no longer needed to keep secret.

Unfortunately for Anonymous, he/she seems to have reacted with much emotion to my article and failed to read my most recent posts. In a way I can't blame him/her, and that's why I elected to keep the original comments, profane as they are.

Obama's recent announcement to expand the war in Afghanistan has ruffled my feathers quite a bit. I don't see any change to business as usual, and from reading the comments, Anonymous doesn't seem to either. People that are paying attention are upset-those that aren't seem to be just following Obama's charisma and eloquence. That must be what it is because that appears to be the only change I see at present. That, and in these hard times people need Hope and Change. People don't aren't ready to let go of that positive possibility.

With the announcement that Britain is shutting down their UFO Disclosure Department, the final nail seems to have been driven in the coffin of the Disclosure Movement for the moment. With countries like France, Britain, Mexico and others releasing what they know, and The Vatican making some very curious ET statements the past couple of years, this has served to put pressure on the United States to disclose.

The only reason I can see that Britain has decided to backpedal must be from some US pressure to the contrary.

Which is unusual because many within the ET research community have reported that there is a movement from within to disclose, and these sources expected an announcement just anyday now.

The other discouraging signal that disclosure is not imminent is the continued harassment of Gary McKinnon, who easily hacked into government databases in the US and found information that the US has on present knowledge of ETs. The US is bloodthirsty for McKinnon, attempting to get him extradited to the US for trial. The US claims millions of dollars of damage done by McKinnon.

If disclosure is on the books, then McKinnon would be a non-issue.

This is a curious claim indeed as the Air Force in the 1960s has already claimed that in their Project Bluebook that the ETs pose no security threat to the United States....

I try not to get to disappointed or excited either way. The Disclosure Movement is a slow process that has had numerous starts and stops in the last sixty years. It may be stalled for the moment, but there is always another day.

New Face, Same War-No More War

I've been holding off on any criticisms against Obama, taking a wait and see approach to see how he does. I was under the spell of Obama's promised Hope and Change rhetoric, and the day he was elected I felt a huge weight being lifted off this country and possibilities for this promised Hope and Change. I have seen both Alex Jones' 'The Obama Deception' and 'The Fall of the Republic'. Not offering comment, I still was holding out for Hope and Change.

But after last night's speech by Obama, not only expressing his decision for expanding Bush's war, but lying to the American people about issues regarding exploiting other country's resources and being 'misunderstood' by the international community, it is time to speak out and draw a line in the sand, if only as an expression of concern from a spiritual perspective regarding the continuation of war across the globe.

"For unlike the great powers of old, we have not sought world domination. Our union was founded in resistance to oppression. We do not seek to occupy other nations. We will not claim another nation's resources or target other peoples because their faith or ethnicity is different from ours."

"We do not seek to occupy other nations."-if not us, then who is using our military to occupy other nations??

"We will not claim another nation's resources or target other peoples because their faith or ethnicity is different from ours." He's right there, claiming resources regardless of faith or ethnicity. We are an equal opportunity agressor. If there were White Christians in the Middle East, the oil would still be good.

Did we trade in George W. for Obama simply because we didn't respect the opportunistic son of a former President? Did we not like him because he was a less than dynamic speaker? Did the Republican Party fail because it was connected the George W. whom we just didn't like? Was this the depth of the public's overwhelming dissatisfaction with George W?

Or was it the policies. Was it the 8 year war that we opposed? Was it the illegal wiretapping? Was it the signing statements? Was it the continual shredding of our Constitution, which has not stopped since Obama has taken office? We have swallowed the red pill of Hope and Change and we have fallen asleep because we are under the illusion that the same policies with a more attractive face and a more appealing demeanor makes it ok.

It is not ok. Illegal wars against countries that did not provoke us are still illegal. Just this week it was revealed that 8 months before England entered the war, former Prime Minister Tony Blair received an email from Lord Goldsmith that the Iraq war was illegal and that deposing Sadaam would breach international law.

Regardless, I have great concern that President Obama's decision is the final straw for this country's future. If there is only one thing that comes out of this great failure, my hope it would be this-that the world will finally be deeply convinced that war can never again be an option towards settling our differnces.
