Alexander wrote a book on his UFO investigations called “UFOs: Myths, Conspiracies, and Realities.” In the book Alexander pointed out that although UFOs are real, they are of no interest to the American government, and therefore there is no cover-up of the facts by American officials. Alexander is also well known in the UFO community for hosting a Top Secret – Special Access series of meetings in the mid-1980s to look at the UFO problem for a possible new government look at the problem. The group was called the Advance Theoretical Physics Group and interestingly had exactly the same “Top Secret- Restricted Classification” as the MJ-12 document.
In a June 15, 2013 interview with radio show host Nancy Du Tetre Alexander, Alexander suddenly announced that the MJ-12 group had existed.[ii] This sudden disclosure was strange. That is because the MJ-12 controversy is central to the whole government cover-up theory believed by most in the UFO community. Yet Alexander did not talk about the MJ-12 idea in his book which had as its basic premise that there is no government control group dealing with the UFO mystery.
So, what gives here? Alexander now indicates that he believes MJ-12 exists or existed
(Col)John.B. Alexander (PENGUIN), Ph.D. in Thanatology [Death Sciences], Col. (“Ret.”), U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM), which is undoubtedly his military cover for the National Security Agency (NSA). He is a former Green Beret, and Army PSYOPS specialist.
British reporter Armen Victorian concludes that John B. Alexander is an active operative assigned to a covert military group “specializing in dissemination of disinformation,” collectively known as the “Aviary.” In a recent interview, David Morehouse, author of Psychic Warrior, (St. Martin’s Press, 1996) reports that “Alexander was a Special Forces officer in Vietnam who commanded a Montagnard battalion. Others say he was a member of the Phoenix Project [the notorious CIA assassination program]. When he came out, he worked with the intelligence community and he never left.”

Beware the Birdies ... or in this case the PENGUIN
Since The Gut brought the workings of the Aviary to light in This thread many things have begun to make sense with regard to statements made by certain ex military individuals , I believe this is another such case as Alexander has links to the birdie house .

Is Alexander's admission intended as disinformation, or is it part of the evolving disclosure process.
UFOs are real, they are of no interest to the American government

...So what is our opinion, considering that Alexander is probably a CIA operative, about this MJ-12 comment?
Is Alexander intentionally disclosing something as part of the slow disclosure process? Or is it just more fiction to throw us off the scent, so to speak?

For now, let's consider that in his new book, forwarded by Jacques Vallee, that Alexander leans towards something like the Interdimensional Hypothesis as opposed to the ETH. So, for starters, if there were some truth in the MJ-12 stuff--which I now wholeheartedly doubt--and he was part of some official "slow" disclosure...where does any of THAT show up in the MJ-12 stuff? It doesn't.
In his book, Out There,(Out There: The Government's Secret Quest for Extraterrestrials ) the New York Times journalist Howard Blum refers to “a UFO Working Group” within the Defense Intelligence Agency. Despite DIA’s repeated denials, the existence of this working group has been confirmed to me by more than one member of the group itself, including an independent source in the Office of Naval Intelligence. The majority of the group’s members are senior members of the AVIARY:
» Dr Christopher Green (BLUEJAY) from the CIA
» Harold Puthoff (OWL), ex-NSA
» Dr Jack Verona (RAVEN), DoD, one of the initiators of the DlA’s Sleeping Beauty project which aimed to achieve battlefield superiority using mind-altering electromagnetic weaponry
» John Alexander (PENGUIN)
» Ron Pandolphi (PELICAN)
The mysterious “Col. Harold E. Phillips” who appears in Blum’s Out There, is none other than John B. Alexander.

Q: Why was the Advanced Theoretical Physics Group organized, and what did it accomplish?
A: We thought there was probably a black program on UFOs somewhere in government, and those involved would probably be willing to work with a group that had appropriate clearances and could help disseminate information. What we found out, of course, was that there was no program and that information collection was pretty much ad hoc.

In a June 15, 2013 interview with radio show host Nancy Du Tetre Alexander, Alexander suddenly announced that the MJ-12 group had existed.[ii] This sudden disclosure was strange. That is because the MJ-12 controversy is central to the whole government cover-up theory believed by most in the UFO community. Yet Alexander did not talk about the MJ-12 idea in his book which had as its basic premise that there is no government control group dealing with the UFO mystery.
"Another category of concern is against whom non-lethal weapons might be employed," writes Alexander with his characteristically blithe understatement.
"Paranoia is running rampant in the United States. We have addressed the militia movements and surprising widespread support that conspiracy theories receive."
"Distrust of the government by not thousands but tens of millions of US citizens is confirmed in public opinion surveys," he continues. "The skepticism and controversy has been fueled by recent revelations that the US government has routinely lied to the people about such varied topics as human radiation experiments, withholding treatment in the Tuskegee prison syphilis experiments, the oppressive actions of the Internal Revenue Service, the amount and geographic area covered by fallout from nuclear testing, and even UFO sightings."
"Many of these conspiracy theory adherents believe that the government -- or some other supranational organization -- is attempting to take freedom away from the citizens. Some of them see non-lethal weapons as tools to facilitate those objectives. They believe that these weapons could be used to enslave them for some unstated nefarious purpose." Don't worry, says Alexander reassuringly, everything's under control. You just don't know how much.
"The fallacy of this logic should be readily apparent," he continues. "Sufficient force already exists to accomplish this task. Therefore no new non-lethal weapons would be necessary."

The entire non-lethal weapon concept opens up a new Pandora's Box of unknown consequences. The main personality behind it is retired Colonel John B. Alexander. Born in New York in 1937, he spent part of his career as a Commander of Green Berets Special Forces in Vietnam, led Cambodian mercenaries behind enemy lines, and took part in a number of clandestine programmes, including Phoenix. He currently holds the post of Director of Non-lethal Programmes in the Los Alamos National Laboratories.
Alexander obtained a BaS from the University of Nebraska and an MA from Pepperdine University. In 1980 he was awarded a PhD from Walden University (20) for his thesis "To determine whether or not significant changes in spirituality occur in persons who attended a Kubler-Ross life/death transition workshop during the period June through February 1979." His dissertation committee was chaired by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross.
He has long been interested in what used to be regarded as "fringe" areas. In 1971, while a Captain in the infantry at Schofield Barracks, Honolulu, he was diving in the Bemini Islands looking for the lost continent of Atlantis. He was an official representative for the Silva mind control organisation and a lecturer on Precataclysmic Civilisations (21). Alexander is also a past President and a Board member of the International Association for Near Death Studies; and, with his former wife, Jan Northup, he helped Dr C.B. Scott Jones perform ESP experiments with dolphins.

Before going ballistic on this, Grant Cameron should have read John Alexander's book UFOs Myths Conspiracies and Realities (NY: Thomas Dunne Books, 2011). It has an entire chapter on the MJ-12 "documents." Alexander examines the claims, and is generally skeptical of them. On p. 130, he suggests "COG - An Alternative Solution." He cites a 'confidential source' he trusts who tells him that "the topics the group was involved in studying had nothing to do with the Roswell crash in particular or UFOs in general." In other words, a group existed called "MJ-12," but it had nothing to do with UFOs. He speculates that it may have been involved with "continuity of government" following a nuclear war.

Alexander: I think that there actually was a group and they were created something known as COG – continuity of government – and it was to prevent nuclear decapitation of the United States. It was really super super sensitive.
Nancy Du Tetre: Well let me ask you this. Does MJ-12 as far as you know exist today?
Alexander: I don’t think so. I had someone whisper to me that it had existed. I didn’t think it had existed at all, but when I looked into it and asked if the names were correct, and they said yes and that should tell me what I need to know to figure it out. That’s how we came up with this particular occupation because most of them were into nuclear warfare. That was one common thread of all the people on the list, and much more so certainly than with UFOs.[iii]

So, what gives here? Alexander now indicates that he believes MJ-12 exists or existed, yet he said before that UFOs are of no interest to the government. Very confusing and conflicting statements.
A reliable, vetted, and confidential source, who states he had access to MJ-12 material, indicated this was a real group. He also indicated that there would be no reports at the Department of Defense level as everything was controlled by the White House. However, he firmly acknowledges that the topics the group was involved in studying had nothing to do with the Roswell crash in particular or UFOs in general.
The following is speculation, but that clue caused me to think seriously about what such a body as MJ-12 might be involved in. It was Hal Puthoff who pointed me toward what could be the real answer—Continuity of Government ox COG. For decades this was one of the most highly guarded secrets in America. Formally initiated under President Eisenhower at the height of the Cold War, COG was designed to prevent nuclear decapitation of the U.S. Government. It would appear that some of those plans remain classified and have been adapted to current counterterrorism circumstances. The point is that in those early post-World War II days, nerves were frayed, tensions were high, and a plan for national survival was needed.
...
The alleged composition of MJ-12 was exactly right for the task of developing a plan to safeguard American leadership.
...
Certainly COG is a perfect fit. They were the right people, at the right time, involved in the right mission. That is, if they ever did exist.

Koi to the rescue with relevant material yet again. I'm tellin' ya': Sir Isaac Koi is not a far-stretch in my opinion.
Having said that, I'll repeat what I've said time and again: Don't look to John Alexander for any bombshells about the UFO phenomenon, just some opinions.
No, nothing much from him worthy on UFOs...something like an NWO...that's a different matter. He got mad skillz.
It is somewhat interesting that Jim Oberg ran to his aid, but I'm not sure what to make o' that just yet...maybe nothing but setting the record straight...mebbe...
Now that we've cleared that up, though, is anyone interested in more material on Col. Alexander?
