I've held pretty much the same viewpoint for the last several years now. However I'd add the caveat that the great majority of what's known is probably already out in the public domain. To me it really comes down to a question of "Grand Foul-up vs Conspiracy Cover-up." I think you'll agree, if you read the essay, that the whole thing smacks of a royal screw-up with a few situational coverups that have been conflated as an institutional coverup.

Well in actuality there are groups of whistle blowers already on the march, but no one seems to notice (except ATS).

The problem isn't that "no-one is talking".
The problem is identifying anyone CREDIBLE that is talking...
Plenty of people will tell you a fascinating story (particular if you are prepared to pay the cost of a book or attending a conference/seminar)...

Well in actuality there are people who CLAIM to be whistle blowers...
Plenty of people (on ATS and elsewhere) have noticed those people.
Quite a few purported whistle blowers been looked into and are usually quite quickly found to be lacking in credibility (by anyone bothered about such things as evidence, credibility, proof etc).
All the best,
Isaac

It's in his new book. That's how they silence dissenters or people with knowledge.

Thanks dude, & sweet thread you got there
Well, it is true that there is plenty of evidence out that is and will be leaked,
It's but it's only a tiny fraction of what is really out there and what is really going on in our lives, world, and universe.
We really have no idea what is going on, but we're slowly putting the pieces together trying to figure it all out.

I never doubt the possibility. But when you consider that the USAF and WPAFB literally gave the entire Blue Book archive and microfilm to CAUS/SHG and the tonnage of paper that NASA gave to CFI it really comes across as though they want to get out of it. This fits in line with the general statements that USAF/DOD no longer investigates UFOs.
It's but it's only a tiny fraction of what is really out there and what is really going on in our lives, world, and universe.
This reinforces the notion of grand foul-up. Signal and Electronic intelligence can only capture so much.
We really have no idea what is going on, but we're slowly putting the pieces together trying to figure it all out.
Sadly true. If the ET hypothesis is correct. It's possible the intelligence guiding these "crafts" will at some point lose interest or finish their observations of our planet. Consider how huge of a missed opportunity this would represent if we as humans don't research this subject to the best of our ability, using all the tools available to modern day science, simply because we're prone to the non-rational belief logic "it can't be therefore it isn't."
It's sad to think that the small poorly manned Blue Book and the barely funded SETI project was the best the world could muster when the potential reward might have been (or could still be) a complete overhauling of our understanding of physics, cosmology, aeronautics, and material science.

Has anybody ever stopped to think that these highly telepathic aliens have the capability to actually control us?
Perhaps they have ways of preventing people who have had dealings with them from ever disclosing it?
Some hypnotic programming of a very sophisticated nature perhaps?
It would be easy for them to have a conference with a few leaders of large countries and go away withcontrol of some or all of them......
From there they could run things into the ground long before they have to get boots on the ground to take over.....
just sayin....may be thats why nobody major ever talks...they are being controlled....?

By then you are not even considered human, just an empty shell that could care less about this magnificent Universe of ours!
Sad to know that there is a fate for those who wish to participate!

in 1980 an acquaintance of mine who might I say, he and I disagree on just about everything in the Universe over. witnessed something of high strangeness landed in field next to the road he was driving on. Ha had three companions with him when this happened and he knows 100% that they all saw it to as they were staring at it exactly the same as him.
Till he told me of the experience some 2 years ago, he had never spoken about it to a single other person for nearly 30 years. Not only that, the three other witnesses in the car made no comment at the time and in the intervening 3 decades, none of them has ever so much as mentioned even seeing the object, to each other, or to anyone else as far as my acquaintance knows.
In other words, the human brain has a huge capacity for simply pretending stuff didn't happen when an incident challenges a core belief of a person.
If there were/are aliens working alongside humans on some project I'd be choosing my human staff on the basis of those who simply won't want to believe they are actually doing what they are doing, as they are least likely to ever tell anyone else, less their own standing in their family/community is shot to pieces.edit on 26-6-2011 by FireMoon because: (no reason given)

Great post Swills but you forgot to mention what the penalties would be for a whistle blower.
Federal Pen time, loss of all benefits and pension. Pretty harsh, until you get to that age when you don't care anymore about the penalties and come forward.
Too many people think the the US Government is all seeing and all knowing, anyone who has worked in the government or for the government knows what a fallacy that is.
