His curious comments are a form of cognitive dissonance, not only merely an example of it, but a parade of it. and is the real motivation behind his making the remarks in the first place. In other words, to reinforce the cognitive dissonance in the UFOlogy community.
That dissonance is illustrated by the polarization within that community over the question of whether or not the putative ETs are “friendly and benign” or “unfriendly, aggressive, and warlike”. This question has provoked a kind of “response” within the UFOlogy community, with whole taxonomies of “friendly” aliens vs. “unfriendly” ones, a veritable extra-terrestrial zoo, a pantheon, of “species” and “races” and “home planets or systems.” In short, the attempts to answer a profoundly important question has itself been obfuscated, and the cognitive dissonance reinforced yet again.

In short, cognitive dissonance is used when investigators, for whatever reason, get too close to an inconvenient truth. And the Infowars article [above linked] implies an important corollary of the use of this technique, namely, that the MSM are not interested in genuine research, but only in promoted one or the other pole of the cognitive dissonance.
Pope, obviously, signed security oaths to obtain his position within the British Ministry of Defence, but surely at least some mention could have been made of why ET would greet us at the Olympics in a spirit of warmth and friendship, while the British government is apparently willing to shoot them down for Queen and country. In short, it’s the cognitive dissonance here that is truly disturbing.

Or it's renta quote Nick Pope who's always relied upon by the Daily Mail to give his opinion? Please note the use of the word opinion as that is all it is. He's no longer at the MOD and as far as I'm aware he was never in a position to influence any government strategy.

So why the cognitive dissonance in the first place? Why foster such a thing within a specific community (in this case, the alternative or “truth” community)? For two reasons, 1) such dissonance serves as a distraction from real events, a kind of magician’s sleight of hand to misdirect attention to one hand, while the card or coin or whatever, is palmed by the other. “Look up there,” while they do something else down here.
But beyond the shameless quasi-prediction game-playing going on here, I find some of Pope’s statements profoundly disturbing for other reasons. First off, there is the assertion, without any corroborating evidence, that the ETs “would come in a spirit of warmth, friendship, and shared learning” (shades of George Adamski).
Equally disturbing is the statement that the British government – and therefore presumably the governments of other world powers – are “prepared for” the worst scenarios of attack and invasion, and again, there is no corroborating evidence mentioned as to why they would contemplate that scenario either. In short, are those governments withholding things?
Either Pope is a major [dis]informant, a liar or a government shill...or, imho, all three.

that's my point, why would they let so much information be out there if that were true.. the "best" psyops and false flags are the ones we don't know about and may never know about ..

I suppose Pope doesn't know more than anyone who's still into secrecy and is making money out of the theories, that is fair to say. Better than crappy claims of him being disingo agent or shizz like that. He is at least trying to contribute with something,. and does so. im tired of everybody even Nick Pope being called liars or things like that

At the present time, I don't like many of the threads that are published on ATS. Many threads, such as this one, have a lack of factual data to back their claims, and do not have any sort of accountability when the event doesn't come true.
Does this mean I should go to another site? Well, I have gone to other sites that haven't been overrun by BS yet. But that doesn't mean I won't come back here and call out threads that need to be called out. I have hope that one day this site will return to its past glory, but that wont happen until people like you are held accountable for their posts.

I'll be posting in this topic at the conclusion of the 2012 London Olympics and pointing out how nothing happened while commenting on how hard the TC tried to find something out of nothing. I can do that too, TC. Doesn't mean you're on to something.
Bring back the factually based, investigative ATS with mindbendingly plausible threads about things of actual interest, please. Enough of this already.
The grand irony being, of course, this kind of hype given to this baseless conspiracy theory is no different than the mindless religious drones walking the planet who still denounce the big bang. It's about belief. Not fact. Sheeple mentality, not original, rational, objective thought.

The guy on the other thread I linked to above also hinted that it could take place around the Olympic Village in Stratford, and funnily enough a document put together here: www.scribd.com... suggests the entire Olympic Village has a number of unusual street names surrounding the location which ties in with Zion.

Anybody else notice that with no rotation or rearranging of "letters", the Olympic logo also spells "2012"? I think that's less of a leap than "Zion".
Not that we're clear... it's just that bit's a stretch. extra DIV
