Congressional Hearing Initiative (CHI) - January 29, 2014

January 28, 2014 Congressional Hearing Initiative (CHI) Due to bad weather, bad politics and funding issues, PRG's Congressional Hearing Initiative launch has been moved back and scheduled for March 31, 2014. This date is firm. The CHI will seek to secure congressional hearings this year for scores of military/agency/political witnesses ready to testify under oath to events and evidence collectively confirming the reality of an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race. If comprehensive hearings are held, the Truth Embargo could end in 2014 - July would be nice - 67 years after the U.S. Army recovered a craft and bodies of an extraterrestrial origin near the only nuclear base in the world at Roswell, New Mexico. A Cautionary Tale COMMENTARY Generoso Pope, Jr. (1927-1988) was a highly intelligent man who studied at the Horace Mann School and graduated from MIT at 19.  He was the son of an Italian-American newspaper magnate and took over the management of his father's newspapers in 1948.  In mid-1950 - three years after the events at Roswell, NM - Generoso Pope, Jr. began a year with the psychological warfare section of the CIA. He was 24 years of age.  His father had recently passed that April. In 1952 - the year of the famous July sightings over the nation's capitol - Mr. Pope bought the New York Enquirer for $75,000 (about $700,000 in 2013 dollars).  In 1954 - a year after the Robertson Panel delivered its report to President Eisenhower - Pope, Jr. converted the newspaper to a tabloid and renamed it The National Enquirer.  From 1954 to 1966 The National Enquirer sold only on newsstands and in drugstores and focused on sex, violence and other salacious material. It's circulation increased to 1 million.  In 1967, at a time when the U.S. government was initiating a complex process to rid itself of the public's irritating interest in the UFO phenomenon, Pope, Jr. revamped The National Enquirer, moved aggressively to place it in grocery stores across the country, and added frequent UFO stories to the content.  Photos and graphics promoting questionable UFO stories were featured on the covers of the tabloid and seen millions of times by U. S. citizens. In 1979, shortly after Stanton Friedman met and began researching the testimony of retired army intelligence officer Major Jesse Marcel, Jr., Pope, Jr. launched the Weekly World News in all the grocery stores carrying The National Enquirer.  For the next 28 years Americans going to buy groceries were treated to likes of these stories:   The Weekly Word News became a legend for making everything up while posing as tabloid news. From 1979 through the end of the Cold War, the Clinton Administration, and well into the Bush administration the WNN sat next to The National Enquirer taking over the ET disinfo heavy lifting. While not all Americans have a degree in quantum mechanics, or for that matter finished high school, in time few did not know the WNN was simply nonsense.  It closed down in 2007 and went to live as parody on the Internet.  Pope, Jr. died in 1988 a multi-millionaire having served his country well, or at least the CIA well. The Truth Embargo had made it through the Cold War intact.  The disinformation division of the Truth Embargo moved on to the Internet working under different parameters.  How many websites the CIA and other agencies control may never be known.   The Truth Embargo has lasted because, like the Pyramids of Giza, it is built with thousands of well crafted blocks fit tightly together. It is a master work that will soon be as inert as those pyramids.  This because, unlike newspapers in racks at checkout counters, the Internet provides the citizen receiver as much power as it provides the disinformer.  It is self cleansing with a living immune system to counter the manipulations of the state. When the Truth Embargo does end with Disclosure, the public will have many decisions to make, not the lease of which is, "Do we want this to ever happen again?"  Stephen Bassett PRG Executive Director [Feel free to republish this commentary.]

Other Developments Moon ObjectA recent story of some interest is gaining traction in the media.  PRG will follow it closely. Daily Mail,  NY Daily News, Huffington Post, Epoch Times, Metro UK, Turner Radio Network Google Moon viewer at coordinates 22042'38.46N and 142034'44.52E Should this object be confirmed and not a prank by the happy crew at Google Moon View, it would be a direct threat to the Truth Embargo. Passings The research/activist community has lost another pioneer with the passing of Elaine Douglas. Her decades of commitment to seeking the truth - MUFON, Operation Right to Know, Journal for Abduction-Encounter Research (JAR), and more - are matched by but a few.  PRG regrets she did not see the resolution of the ET issue in her lifetime.   Congressional Hearing Initiative Advance Preparation Over the next eight weeks leading up to the Congressional Hearing Initiative there are a number of actions those interested in seeing the end of the truth embargo can take to broaden the support base for PRG's Disclosure advocacy work.
