No. Obama will disclose. You are an idiot to say he is not interested.
Here's why, it represents a legitimate national security issue.
Imagine if the government tried to hide the fact that terrorists were trying to attack us, and one horrible day their efforts failed to protect us; say, something like 9-11. Would we thank the government for keeping us in the dark or raise holy hell?
It's in the best interest of those who govern to disclose what's known (and I'm not saying they know much if anything) simply to lessen accountability
At bare minimum if any of this is true it would not be the government has failed to protect us, but are incapable of protecting us. How would it be responsible to reveal that kind of information? "Holy hell" could not begin to describe what would happen.

I can appreciate the concerns that the "Truth" may come as a real shock to the World, but, the idea that it's beyond anything we could imagine... i dunno, we're pretty creative. besides, isn't the big push for Disclosure because of all the weird unexplainable sightings and events tons of volumes of people have not only experienced, but, documented. Real or Imagined, what oh what Great truth could actually shock this wholly DeSensitized Culture of Ours. What could Aliens- if they possibly Exist-- really do that's so shocking???
PhyberDragon:
I understand the point you're trying to make. However, you have to really think for a moment about the statements you made above. Yes, our species has encountered many problems that have resulted in our desensitization. But these problems were human-generated or Earth-related problems inside our world of existence. They were not something foreign, that goes beyond our scope of understanding, let alone such that has a magnitude that will have humanity questioning everything we've ever known to be true about ourselves.
Not only that, but if any of the research of people like Z. Sitchen is, in fact what is true of our origin, then aliens become a new force to be reckoned with as far as their roles as our potential "creators" vs. "God." I realize the latter is at the extreme end of the conspiracy theory spectrum, but, quite frankly, the more I read about it in books, through Internet (barring any questionable crap that people put out as "truth"), these theories are making more sense than literal interpretation of The Bible ever has.
The implications of alien existence and their potential connection to us will thrust us out of desensitization into the realm of a true-life twilight zone. Finding that what we've been taught to believe about our creation/existence has been largely false would either cripple us as a species, or piss us off so much that we will finally drop religious, ethnic, and political barriers and unite, at which point we will likely be perceived as a valid threat to other species. After all, it has been proven over and over that the human spirit is very powerful, even if we have much more evolving to do. We have something they need or want or, at the very least, something that they are fascinated with.

You people are asking someone to disclose something they dont have access too.

You're arguing that if the US military is aware UFOs/EBEs/what-have-you have the capacity to cause massive wanton destruction and the government has chosen to hide all information related to that, it must be because the military is incapable of protecting us. Right?
That about sum it up?

And going even deeper within this disclosure the idea that money might not exist is another earth-shattering issue. Money is based on scarcity. Aliens wont have scarcity and neither will we if we get free energy devices and portable anti-gravity. Money goes bye bye, so does the fabric of control...Their technology creates abundance.

Again, I ask if anyone has considered there are reasons for a cover-up, outside of the run-of-the-mill and tired conspiracy theories.

I think people want disclosure because they expect the 'answer' to be something they've already thought of/considered without taking into account that there's a very real possibility that it won't be. It's hard to be prepared for something you may ultimately know nothing about...I think we should all be a bit more cautionate about opening pandora's box.

It won't?
A revelation of this sort would bring everything to a halt, much in the same way 9/11 did, only on a much larger scale. There would be no other issue than this.

You folks are making a lot of assumptions about things you cannot possibly know. Again, I ask you, if any of this is real, do you really think that it is anything like you imagine or that you could possibly begin to understand it? Do you really think you already have all the answers?
