I don't think full disclosure would cause wide scale violence or riots. Why would it, other than the fact that a government has been lying to its people for so long? Most *intelligent* people already think that there is probably life elsewhere in the universe.

Believing that a micro-organism exists at the other side of the galaxy , and believing that intelligent beings are visiting this planet are totally different things.
It would be a deep schock even to the *intelligent* people. It would uproot beliefs that humans are superior to all other animals that are deeply rooted in our minds and culture since 2000 years, and our belief that we are masters of our destiny (if the aliens are involved in say religion/technological progress)

They are the same thing as they are both of belief and belief is of consciousness
"Intelligent Beings" are made up of micro-organisms.
The Earth is a living organism
"Intelligent Beings" visiting this planet would put in to perspective Our equality; superiority eventually crumbles in to corruption if it can Not seek change. Superiority Be comes superior to itself and can No longer function as a result of its ultimate dominance that originates from the goal of pure domination, which will end in dominating itself to obtain this goal, and thus obtains and defeats the purpose of its purpose; dominance: Eventually power over-powers itself.

I for one hope that we aren't at the "top of the food chain", so to speak, especially in the universe... then again, I'm not religious nor egotistical so perhaps I have a different view on that. I think we think we know so much, but in reality we know so very little.

I don't think so, believing that bacteria exist on the other side of the galaxy is more mind-reposing, as it doesn't threaten our intellectual superiority we believe we have.
So what? It doesn't change the fact that intelligent beings are, intelligent, and micro-organisms are not.
The earth is just a rock floating in space, it doesn't have any living properties. At least I never heard of any
In short, an alien threat would unify humans and make them forget their differences, but it doesn't change anything to what I said. The aliens are not a threat, at least I don't think so.

What makes you think a rock is alive ?

Well, a point I've made on other threads, that Dr. Greer has spoken of when he said Aliens are all of the above, which is time travelers, from other worlds, and also living here, then how would we expect to have any real proof?
If they can zap in and out of time and events, have a presence here, and according to AA, even interact with you in your dreams and hypnotic states, well, then we are pretty much par for the course I think. As far as NASA, I've seen far too many things that they have faked to take them seriously. If the government was in complete control over the ET happenings, there would be no sightings, crop circles, abductions, etc., as you could rest assured that would not be in our agreement.
The only disclosure that will ever happen is one of two things. 1) Someone comes forward with pieces of a craft, or the entire craft, or an alien, etc. or 2) An alien lifeform lands and says "We come in peace" broadcast live on CNN.
As far as aliens you don't need to convince me that they exist, I know they do. In fact, there is really no need to convince anyone that they exist. I think that when it's time, it's time. Many people on this site are so information crazy that they create worthless hypothetical threads, make up stories, log in as new users and create tales, then answer themselves under their other log in, and it goes on and on. You have to come to terms that you may never know the truth, then and only then can you really be objective regarding this and other subjects.
Greeris a fraud. His record speaks for itself. It speaks volumes.
