If someone wanted true disclosure it should be free for all humanity, because its knowledge that everyone should have the right to access. So if this book you speak of cost 1 cent.. I would not read one word of its contents

Can you tell us about the case so we don't have to go look it up on Google before giving an opinion?

The case is stupendous in its implications. Apparently there was a base under Italy that extended for hundreds of kilometers. There were aliens/hybrids there in contact with a group of Italians - some of them very educated and from high society. Their testimonies are very credible. Gaspare de Lama is very convincing. Here is a link to the main documentary

That would be nice, but that is not how the world works. You don't get something for nothing.
Scientific Journal Memberships/Articles cost money, do you expect they should be free too. Or maybe you don't consider Scientific journal articles credible information either

Scientific publications SHOULD be freely available to anybody. They are not 'free of cost' as the people who write them have to live too, but used to be (and sometimes still are) payed for by us all, as we all feel (felt?) that scientific research in the end benefits us all.
In America (and alas, in Europe too, nowadays) the adagio "as long as it makes me money" has ensured that scientific research now has effectively been sold to private corporations, whom entangle "their" knowledge in webs of so called intellectual property and patent laws so they can make as much money from it as possible. Initially, patent law was invented to allow somebody to earn back his investments, but nowadays companies that haven't spent a dime on development still claim money for 'their' IP etc. This is 'the military industrial complex' that Eisenhower spoke of. Hence, knowledge that should be publicly available is now actually only available (at least for a while) to people who can afford to pay for it.
Another aspect, much overlooked in these threads, are ethics. It could be argued that 'stealing money' is something that attributes to society too: it sets a bad example we can use to teach our children morale, it gives police officers something meaningful to do (which in turn earns them money) and the fact that people steal money also gives other businesses opportunities, e.g. banks (who promise to keep your money safe, for a small fee..), manufacturers of safes, wallets, security guards, cash register companies.. what have you.
According to the previous paragraph stealing is an important economical activity which should be stimulated.
Likewise, writing articles in tabloids (full of tendencies and half baked or complete lies) can be seen as a valuable economical activity. Or sitting on your fat behind all day, doing nothing but redistribute other folks money whilst stealing most of it for the 'effort'. Or holding 'hearings' and ask money for the results. So, yes, if morale and ethics don't play a part in all this, you are right and information on us being part of an intergalactic network should be made available to those that are willing and able to pay for it.edit on 13-5-2013 by ForteanOrg because: spelling..

I got no idea what your point is.
To attend scientific conferences it costs money.
To have a membership of scientific journal it costs money
To read many scientific journal articles it costs money
