40 Questions For Scientists Who Care About Truth...
40 Questions for Scientists Who Care About Truth
By Joe Firmage
1.What are the implications of physicists' realization that
"space-time" is not a void, but is rather an ocean-like medium of
energy? (1)
2. Are scientists and journalists aware of new, broadly-published,
peer-reviewed theories of the nature of gravitation and inertia meeting every experimental test of general relativity, yet in principle allowing super-luminal motion of gravity-propelled spacecraft without time
dilation? (2)
3. If scientific papers speculating on time travel, worm holes, and
'many universes' are greeted by the press with respectful wonder and awe, why are scientific papers speculating on notions far less exotic - propulsion systems not requiring that we shoot matter out of a nozzle - greeted with skeptical disdain, especially when no empirical data exist to support the former, while much exists to support the latter?
4. Are scientists and journalists aware that much of the research staff on a pivotal government-funded study of UFO evidence - the Condon Committee - resigned or were fired when they challenged its director's intention to report a pre-ordained conclusion that all UFO sightings can be explained in mundane terms? (3)
5. Are scientists and journalists aware that the chief scientific consultant in the Air Force's Blue Book study of UFOs later
characterized the project as a publicity maneuver to mollify the public, himself convinced by the evidence he saw that genuine, unexplained aerospatial phenomena are in our midst? (4)
6. Are you aware that reports of these two government-funded,
now-discredited studies - the Condon Committee and Project Blue Book - are the primary reasons why most scientists and journalists have dismissed UFO evidence as pseudoscience? (5)
7. Are scientists and journalists aware that hundreds of thoroughly credentialed pilots and military officers have officially documented sightings of structured craft demonstrating motions possible only through gravitational propulsion, and that some of these sightings are accompanied by radar records? (6)
8. Are scientists and journalists aware that hundreds of thousands of similar sightings have been made by people around the world, dating back thousands of years? (7)
9. Why have U.S. intelligence agencies refused an official request
by the Federation of American Scientists to release their budgets for the years 1947 through 1970? (8)
10. May there have been a larger reason than Cold War fears driving the establishment in 1947 of the National Security Act, the CIA, and the Air Force?
11. Why were administrative and communications records from the Roswell Army Air Force Base covering the period 1945-1949 destroyed without explanation? (9)
12. Why did defense contractors' ubiquitous predictions in the 1950s of the emergence of gravitational propulsion systems suddenly go quiet? (10)
13. Why did the National Security Agency and partner organizations secretly begin tapping land-line phone conversations world-wide by the 1950s, expanding the capability in recent decades to include most satellite communications? (11)
14. Why did President Eisenhower, in his nationally televised
farewell address, bluntly warn his fellow citizens of the "potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power", sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex? (12)
15. Are scientists and journalists aware that, on November 12, 1963, President Kennedy issued National Security Action Memorandum 271 directing NASA to begin preparations for a joint space program with the Soviet Union? (13)
16. Are scientists and journalists aware that among thousands of pages of allegedly-authentic leaked classified documents relating to UFOs is a purported memorandum from President Kennedy, also dated November 12, 1963, directing the intelligence community to begin sharing classified UFO files with NASA in preparation for a joint US-USSR space program? (14)
17. Are scientists and journalists aware that perhaps history's most quoted and respected debunker of UFO sightings, Harvard astronomer Dr. Donald Menzel, was in fact a consultant with Top Secret Ultra clearance to the National Security Agency? (15)
18. Why did President Reagan mention the hypothetical scenario of an extraterrestrial presence around Earth in several of his most important speeches, including to the United Nations? (16)
19. May there be a deeper reason explaining why President Bush is so adamant about fielding a new defense shield against '21st century threats from rogue objects in the air and space'?
20. Why has President Bush ordered that presidential papers
following the Carter administration may be concealed from our democracy forever? (17)
21. When the vast majority of U.S. advanced physics research has been funded by the military-industrial complex, what discoveries may have been concealed long ago under the premise of National Security?
22. Are you aware that former leading officials of the French Air
Force and Space Agency published a report in the summer of 2000 stating their appraisal that some UFOs are likely spacecraft of extraterrestrial origin, and that the U.S. probably has come into possession of extraterrestrial craft? (18)
23. Are you aware that prominent U.S. physicists have begun to come out in support of the likelihood that some fraction of UFO sightings do indeed identify spacecraft of extraterrestrial origin? (19)
24. Are you aware that the Aerospace Editor for Jane's Defense
Weekly - among the world's most respected defense analysis journals - publicly released less than 90 days ago the following conclusion after ten years of research: the U.S. military has likely been experimenting with gravitational propulsion systems for many decades? (20)
25. If the music industry can align all powers in its possession to
obliterate Napster's liberation of songs, what might vastly larger
interests have done with energy and propulsion technology that would liberate electricity and transportation. And global politics?
26. How might human civilization have (d)evolved if Faraday's
discovery of the principle of induction was made not in the public
domain, but in a secured facility, deemed a "national security threat" by virtue of its power to revolutionize steam locomotion and oil-based lighting infrastructure, and kept secret for half a century?
27. If there is a world-changing secret buried within our National Security State, which dynastic interests most likely govern it today?
28. If the massive National Security Agency and National
Reconnaissance Office were kept entirely secret for decades, is it
possible that other large, classified programs remain largely unknown to Congress and the public?
29. Are you aware of the lengths to which the
military-industrial-intelligence community could go to prevent
revelation of world-changing knowledge, if such knowledge would thoroughly challenge its power structure, and if there are indeed severe risks of misuse of resulting technology? (21)
30. Do you believe that the revelation of past contact with
extraterrestrial life forms could profoundly transform our world for the better, giving us all an inspiring, unifying perspective of the grandeur of the Cosmos from which we spring, and pointing to new technologies that could dramatically reduce humanity's environmental footprint on Nature?
31. For how long will scientists and journalists continue to be
happy with spoon-fed denials by officials of any significance to the following documented quotes? (22)
32. Will the community of scientists - stewards of humanity's
wisdom, knowledge, history and future - look away in denial of overwhelming evidence that the Cold War's capitalist-military-intelligence complex has managed the epochal process of CONTACT for at least a half-century under cover?
33. How properly could such a singular process have been conducted, deprived for at least five decades of the diverse wisdom, knowledge and perspective of millions of philosophers, cosmologists, physicists, chemists, biologists, anthropologists, sociologists, psychologists, engineers, ethicists, historians, journalists, artists and scholars of religion?
34. If a vital truth of our very Nature has been concealed from us, may that in part explain humanity's continuing struggles with religious, political, economic, technological, and psychological adolescence - consequences of the lingering imposition of a flat-earth worldview?
35. If governments were to grant relief of security oaths relating to information on UFOs, call for witnesses to step forward and see no witnesses forthcoming, then wouldn't the question of government cover-up be put to rest succinctly?
36. If, on the other hand, governments were to refuse to offer
relief of security oaths relating to information on UFOs or refuse to call for witnesses to step forward, then what may we conclude?
37. When will we band together, demanding relief of security oaths for those with first-hand knowledge to testify in open hearings before the United States Congress and the people of Earth?
38. Do we or do we not have both the right and need to learn the truth of our Nature?
This leads me to ask two final questions.
Leaders, scientists and journalists, I ask you:
Is "Know Thyself" to be limited by the rule of secret councils of the capitalist-military-intelligence complex?
