The Crack at the Top of the Washington Monument

A 5.9 to 6.0 earthquake rocked the east coast today from Boston to
North Carolina to Chicago, but the epicenter was in Mineral, Virginia.
This earthquake emptied the Pentagon, The White House, Capitol Hill,
and many of the power centers located in skyscrapers along the eastern
seaboard. Government buildings throughout New York City were evacuated.

The National Park Service said engineers found a crack near the top of
the Washington Monument, a symbol of power and control with both
ancient Egyptian and Masonic influences. Park service spokespeople
admitted on the evening of the 5.9 quake that structural engineers had
found a crack where the 555-foot landmark narrows considerably near
its peak.

Am I the only one who sees the irony in that the epicenter was in
Mineral, Virginia and just thirty miles from Monticello, beloved home
of our third and best president, Thomas Jefferson, who stood for and
penned so many of the greatest principles of our free American society?

Happy belated birthday, Thomas, whose birthday was two days earlier on
Augsut 21st.

Consider the state of corruption in the United States, beginning with
the man who most benefitted from JFK’s assasination, Lyndon Johnson,
to Watergate’s Richard Nixon,
enabler Gerald Ford,
and fortunately skipping past Jimmy Carter,
but eroding further with demonic George W. Bush
and his puppet, Ronald Reagan,
lapdog Bill Clinton,
the inane George W. Bush
and his controller, cyborg Dick Cheney,
and now this sell-out Barack Obama.

Obama was supposed to have brought the troops home from Iraq by this
summer, but he has not, and he promised to close Guantanamo Bay but
did not. He had a 59-41 Senate majority for two years and control of
the House, but he failed to pass his promised agenda of legislation
bearing the mark of Democrats’ principles.

So, beginning today, on the day of the Virginia earthquake of August
23, 2011, the monument is to be closed indefinitely to keep the public
safe. If only the public could be safe from their own contemptible
government. And if you think I am joking, remember Katrina and New
Orleans and all those people the do-nothing government allowed to
drown with nearly no emergency response. Bush took three or four days
to even fly near New Orleans. What a low-life.

I guess the spirit of Thomas Jefferson, who was among the very first
Republicans when it meant good things to be a Republican, may have
just rolled over once again, looking down from somewhere above his
beloved country. Jefferson would see a country that more-or-less
tolerated the Abu Grahib tortures without prosecution at the top of
the military chain of command. Today, Jefferson would see a Congress
that ignores the assaults and unethical fascist-like restrictiveness
of the Patriot Acts on our own constitutional freedoms, even the
freedoms of those self-same congresspeople.

I feel confident that Jefferson's spirit was not taking a swipe at
George Washington, a man whom he both admired and was close to for
many years of his life, but instead was taking aim at the state of
decay and corruption we citizens have allowed here via the rigged
elections and bribed governing of the USA.

Maybe Jefferson in spirit just had to twist and shout: “A little
rebellion now and then... is a medicine necessary for the sound health
of government.”

And maybe a little rebellion from the lower and middle classes and
even the lower-half of the upper class is in order. And I am not
taking sides with Democrats or Republicans or other smaller parties,
for we all depend on each other for our bountiful lives here in the
country Jefferson helped form.

But our government is still not resolving to fix the banking crisis,
the lack of lending by the banks, and prosecuting the corporate
criminals who engineered the crisis, because our government is
controlled and bribed by those same criminals.

Our government is dragging its feet to prevent disasters at nuclear
power plants from larger and more frequent earthquakes, is failing to
create more jobs, and is asking us to give up more and more freedoms
in the name of safety from terrorists, as evidenced in the last couple
of years we've been manhandled by the TSA.

I’m not afraid of terrorists, but I am more concerned about secret CIA
torture camps. I am greatly concerned about the string of
commanders-in-chief who have been leading this country for the last
thirty years. Their minds and hearts are seriously deformed and
defective, not just for what the have wrought on America, but for all
the foreign lives they have taken as well. It is called genocide. In
Iraq, the United States has killed over a million people for "weapons
of mass destruction" that did not exist. Millions more were starved by
sanctions, maimed and deformed by white phosphorus, depleted uranium,
and other vicious weapons technology. This is not defense of the USA;
it is offense against foreign people for their resources like oil in
Iraq and Libya, and also opium in Afghanistan.

Let there be peaceful, non-violent expressions far and wide of both
our dissatisfaction with our government, and demonstrations of worthy
ideas and alternatives to the status quo, like Tesla free energy,
single-payer health care, rebuilding our unsafe dams, bridges and
vital infrastructure for better earthquake resistance, an end to
pre-meditated, pre-emptive wars. And let us begin a sound
environmental strategy to clean up the contaminants from corporate
malfeasance like the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexcio (which was
likely caused by an oil war between BP and Halliburton) and prevent
such further environmental catastrophes, not open the seas up to more
drilling.

We should remember that immortal Jeffersonian wisdom, courtesy of the
man who was the author the Declaration of Independence: “A little
rebellion now and then... is a medicine necessary for the sound health
of government." Maybe this
earthquake will inspire us to raise our consciousness and collective
conscience.

And if some of us forget as the illuminati Media Empire coaches us to
do, there will always be others of us who remember the day Monticello
sent a shockwave to DC strong enough to put a crack in the Washington
Monument!

Nuclear physicist issues UFO challenge

The UFO Challenge

by Stanton Friedman

As a nuclear physicist who has had a serious interest in flying saucers since 1958, I have reached four major conclusions:

1. The evidence is overwhelming that Planet Earth is being visited by intelligently controlled extraterrestrial spacecraft. In other words, SOME UFOs are alien spacecraft. Most are not.

2. The subject of flying saucers represents a kind of Cosmic Watergate, meaning that some few people in major governments have known since July, 1947, when two crashed saucers and several alien bodies were recovered in New Mexico, that indeed SOME UFOs are ET. As noted in 1950, it's the most classified U.S. topic.

3. None of the arguments made against conclusions One and Two by a small group of debunkers such as Carl Sagan, my University of Chicago classmate for three years, can stand up to careful scrutiny.

4. The Flying Saucer story is the biggest story of the millennium: visits to Planet Earth by aliens and the U.S. government's cover-up of the best data (the bodies and wreckage) for over fifty years.

Since 1967 I have lectured on the subject "Flying Saucers ARE Real" at more than 600 colleges and over 100 professional groups in all fifty US states, nine Canadian Provinces, twelve cities in England and nine in other countries, with only eleven hecklers. I have also appeared on hundreds of radio and TV shows. Overall, I have probably answered about 35,000 questions about UFOs and secrecy

.It's clear that over 97% of the people have NOT read any of the five major scientific studies I discuss, and are unaware of the mountains of evidence that support my conclusions. They are also unaware of the scientific data, as opposed to tabloid nonsense. However, it is also clear from the Opinion Polls and from my own experience that indeed most people accept the notion that SOME UFOs are alien spacecraft. The greater the education, the MORE likely an individual is to accept this proposition. In an October 25, 1995, Oxford University Debate on the resolution "Planet Earth is being visited by intelligent extraterrestrial life", the affirmative side, of which I was a part, garnered 60% of Debate Union Member votes on the question. Ninety-two percent of 100,000 people calling during a TV Debate in London on June 27,1997, said Earth has been visited by aliens!

The problem is NOT that there is not enough evidence to justify my conclusions; but that most people, especially the noisy negativists, are unaware of the real, non-tabloid evidence.

Debunkers seem to employ four major rules:

1. What the public doesn't know, we certainly won't tell them. The largest official USAF UFO study isn't even mentioned in twelve anti-UFO books, though every one of those books' authors was aware of it.

2. Don't bother me with the facts, my mind is made up.

3. If one can't attack the data, attack the people. It is easier.

4. Do one's research by proclamation rather than investigation. It is much easier, and nobody will know the difference anyway.

Many major media people will concede that if indeed aliens are visiting earth, that would be a major story. But because they take great pride in their KNOWLEDGE of major stories, if this were happening they would know about it. But they don't. Therefore, anybody who says visits are real must be a crackpot.

I have noted four major reasons why the big names in science and journalism haven't jumped on the pro-UFO bandwagon:

1. Ignorance of the data. Scratch a debunker and one usually finds somebody who is putting down what he is not up on.

2. Fear of ridicule in sponsoring a thesis (only about ten have been submitted relating to UFOs) if a professor, or sponsoring a detailed reportorial investigation if an editor. I check all my audiences and find that, while in agreement with polls, 10% have had a sighting but only 5-10% of these witnesses have been willing to report what they saw. Biggest reason? Fear of ridicule.

3. Ego. If aliens were visiting Earth, they would call a press conference or ask to talk to the National Academy of Sciences. They haven't, so aliens must not be visiting. Flying saucers finish the job Copernicus started in taking man out of the middle of the universe. Priests fought Copernicus's ideas. Today guys in lab coats, rather than priestly robes, fight alien visitations.

4. Failure to use our knowledge of technology to understand UFO behavior. They say "It is impossible," rather than "I don't know how." Despite the absurd claims of certain ancient academics and fossilized physicists, it is clear on the basis of solid engineering studies that trips to nearby stars are feasible with round trip times shorter than the average person's lifetime -- using, for example, staged fission and fusion propulsion systems. I have worked on both. It's clear that technological progress comes from doing things differently in an unpredictable way. The history of science is littered with challenges, leveled by people who know nothing about the job at hand, against traditionally "impossible" claims.

The cult of S.E.T.I. (Silly Effort To Investigate) with its crazy notions that nobody would travel -- but that aliens, stuck at the level of radio, are trying to attract our attention -- mocks the notion of flying saucers, not by dealing with the evidence, but by proclamations about the ABSENCE of evidence. This ignores science.

I prove at every lecture that the NSA and CIA are withholding UFO data. Having worked under security for fourteen years, visited seventeen document archives, and having become aware of the huge black budgets of the NSA, NRO, CIA, DIA, etc., I know how easy it is to keep secrets. My nineteen years of study about crashed saucers, and thirteen years on the Majestic-12 documents have convinced me these are real. The challenge for us all, as we enter the new millennium, is to recognize that while our future is in space, we are not alone. I truly hope we qualify for admission to the Cosmic Kindergarten.

Stanton T. Friedman received BSc and MSc degrees in physics from the University of Chicago in 1955 and 1956. He was employed for 14 years as a nuclear physicist for such companies as GE, GM, Westinghouse, TRW Systems, Aerojet General Nucleonics, and McDonnell Douglas on such advanced, classified, eventually cancelled, projects as nuclear aircraft, fission and fusion rockets, and nuclear powerplants for space.

Since 1967 he has lectured on the topic "Flying Saucers ARE Real!" at more than 600 colleges and over 100 professional groups in 50 states, 9 provinces, 16 other countries. He has published more than 80 UFO papers and appeared on hundreds of radio and TV programs. He is the original civilian investigator of the Roswell Incident and co-authored "Crash at Corona: The Definitive Study of the Roswell Incident."
