Though the CIA's official history suggests that the Robertson Panel's conclusions were never carried out, there is evidence that contradicts this. Perhaps the most unambiguous evidence for the Robertson Panel's covert impact on news media reporting about UFOs is a personal letter by Dr. Thornton Page, discovered in the Smithsonian archives by sociologist Michael D. Swords. The 1966 letter, addressed to former Robertson Panel Secretary Frederick C. Durant, confides that Page "helped organize the CBS TV show around the Robertson Panel conclusions." Page was no doubt referring to the CBS Reports TV broadcast of the same year, "UFOs: Friend, Foe, or Fantasy?" narrated by Walter Cronkite. (Incidentally, this program was criticized for inaccurate and misleading presentations). Page's letter indicates that the Robertson Panel was still putting a negative spin on UFO news at least 13 years after the panel met.
It should be noted however that Dr. Page was NOT a CIA agent. Evidence of an official “cover up” this isn’t.
Back in the United States, the CIA and other government organizations were taking a good, hard look at the success ratio of the SRI program. A temporary blocking of federal funds for psi research took place in the mid-1970's, due to unfavorable publicity generated by reports of the CIA's own prior MK-ULTRA mind-control programs (the psi research of SRI and the CIA seeming a little to alike for comfort, as both involved experimentation on human subjects, and many in government were opposed to this type of research anyway as smacking too much of witchcraft or just plain nonsense), but the doffers slowly opened again during the Carter administration, and this time the military was taking a more central role.
The Pentagon's remote viewing programs eventually (in early 1979) came under the authority of the Defence Intelligence Agency, or DIA. The DIA set up its own remote viewing operation at an abandoned building at Fort Meade, code-named GRILL FLAME, but their remote viewers were generally still being trained at SRI in California, by the team of Puthoff, Swann and others. Swann helped to codify the remote viewing protocols, making it an easily-defined system, and it is Swann's contribution that comes through most clearly in the Internet-published DIA manual on CRB or "Coordinate Remote Viewing".
GRILL FLAME was under the authority of one Jack Vorona, a nuclear physicist who was a DIA officer, and who controlled other "alternative" projects, such as one that was designed to study mind-control using microwave technology. This technique was thought to be a focus of Soviet research at the time, but there has also been a lot of research in the US on not only the use of microwaves but also low-frequency radio waves, and on all sorts of electronic and mechanical approaches to mind control.
These days, the internet is full of information (much of it suspect) on this type of technology, but a strange book published in 1998 and authored by Richard Sauder includes over one hundred pages of US patent information for a variety of electronic devices for mind-control applications, including US Patent 3,951,134 [book has typo - this is the right number]: Apparatus and Method for Remotely Monitoring and Altering Brain Waves and US Patent 5,213,562: Method of Inducing Mental, Emotional and Physical States of Consciousness, Including Specific Mental Activity, In Human Beings

The umbrella agenda dictates that the public be made aware of what's really going on.
The agenda still is and will remain one of control. In order for the next level to be reached without the dam bursting open too soon, plausible deniability is to be maintained in all cases of information disbursal. Thus the need for certain ratios of disinformation.
To search for who before understanding why is to put the cart before the horse.

I think it is the rich, but more likely a private institution or network of for profit organizations, perhaps even on the corporate level, not agencies unless it came to funding...

Exactly what do you think is "really going on”?
Assuming you believe Aliens are in our midst and "they" know it this makes no sense to me. Disinformation is sold using “information” that reinforces the belief in the conspiracy. The end result of this “strategy” would be the conspirators subverting themselves. And as far as the damn bursting too soon goes, it hasn’t even sprung so much as a leak in the last 60 years so what me worry?

Either way it’s irrelevant without the “what”...

The "what" of what exactly?

The "who" is irrelevant for the most part. Finding out "who" is a byproduct of integrating the "why". To search for who before understanding why is to put the cart before the horse. Once you catch up with the horses it's easy to see who is driving the cart.

Well then they must not be paying them enough because they're not doing a very good job... Aliens & UFOs are in heavy rotation on the Discovery Channel.

(as in "what" is in the cart)
There is a way to beat the traps and claim the key. Treat it like a game or a hobby. Obviously, there is interest and time available or ATS would be a lonely place indeed. So why make the quest into some beast? Why make it into some war between this group that believes this and another that can't possible believe such bullocks? Treat it as a game. Then when you're done collecting and organizing your clues you can retire safely to your own confort zone unfazed by the hunt.

Use the new paradigm of "possibility and probability" for your new game. Then all bits of information are stored. So when something is found that may connect it's not immediately rejected. All is allowed it's space and assigned it's probability. And if one day the puzzle starts to make sense but is far outside the confort zone then no harm. It was all just a game. The mortgage is still due. The electricity still needs to be payed. The TV still needs to be watched. And all is right with the world. The only difference being that you may just have the key to the kingdom.

I am just about finished with the last of the 3 "Sinister Forces" books and in the chapter titled "The Machineries of Joy" is the following information taken beginning from page 329:

If you want to go there we could say that ABC's "Peter Jennings Reporting: UFOs — Seeing Is Believing" was a smashing success
