And even less of a sense of humor.
They certainly cannot understand the benefit of imaginative, non-linear creative thought as an approach to a problem.
In this case the problem at hand involves highly controversial UFO disclosure allegations sparked by the unconfirmed MJ-12 Eisenhower Briefing Document, or MJ-12 EBD.
The MJ-12 EBD was previously declared "BOGUS!" by the FBI, based upon input from the Air Force Office of Special Investigation (AFOSI).
Rather than repeating myself ad nauseam here, I will skip the gory details now archived for your amusement at Reality Uncovered, and present the latest results.
I normally do not work with documents that have not been officially released by the US government. In this case I have made an exception due to some unusual details which I believe remain unexplained. I also risk repeating numerous efforts already undertaken and written about in popular UFO literature which I am mostly unfamiliar with.
In January of this year, Lee Graham sent me a package containing documents copied from his his Defense Investigative Service (DIS) file. Some of the documents had been stamped with an UNCLASSIFIED marking I hadn't seen used in the declassified documents I was familiar with from the CIA's STAR GATE collection.
One of the DIS file UNCLASSIFIED documents was the MJ-12 EBD. Another was a hand-written letter from John Andrews of Testor Corporation from the 1980s.
Rather than taking the FBI for their word (see the FBI FOIA reading room) I thought it might be educational to examine the MJ-12 EBD against real classified documents from the same time period.
After several frustrating searches, a moment of inspiration lead me to realize I had missed the most important clue: the slash following TOP SECRET, as in TOP SECRET/MAJIC.
If you click on the image at the top of this post, you can clearly see the use the slash in TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE followed by another caveat, XGDS, which means EXEMPT from General Disclosure Schedule.
You will also notice that this was determined by the originating authority for the document at the National Security Council (NSC): Henry Kissinger.
The next item is the hand written note from John Andrews which has been stamped UNCLASSIFIED next to his signature.
I should mention that the reason for all of this was due to Andrews giving Graham the designation for the F-117 Stealth while it was still secret. Graham in turn passed that information to Vice President Dan Quayle's office, along with a copy of the MJ-12 EBD.
The next item is the "warning notice" from the EBD, with TOP SECRET - EYES ONLY and the TOP SECRET/MAJIC stamp at the bottom, followed by the UNCLASSIFIED marking added before the document found it's way into the DIS file and back to Graham.
Also notice what appears to be an exemption on the MJ-12 EBD: "T52-EXEMPT."
To the right of the MJ-12 EBD you will see the TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE - XGDS (3) by Kissinger, for comparison. Keep in mind the EBD was allegedly produced in 1952 and the Kissinger document is from 1975.
The next paragraph is a SECRET message from FBI HQ to their Dallas field office where they state that AFOSI advised them the EBD was "BOGUS."
The final paragraph was sent to Lee Graham by AFOSI after he sent a Freedom of Information Request asking for documentation to support the FBI HQ claim.
"AFOSI does not posses any records that would prohibit you from circulating the copies of the unclassified briefing [MJ-12 EBD]."
The final piece which IMHO may be related to this mystery are the so-called "Doomsday Blueprints" discussed in an article from TIME Magazine.
It would seem that the issue of a possible preemptive nuclear strike against the Soviet Union had driven the Eisenhower administration to prepare for martial law: in other words "martial jurisdiction," or, perhaps, and this is purely speculative on my part, MJ.
According to the article:
In a White House vault were Eisenhower's standby crisis orders, already initialed by the President, including some that would have imposed martial law...
A "secret" White House memo dated 1956 records his rebuke when a Cabinet Secretary noted that 450 people were evacuated "rather smoothly" during an exercise. Eisenhower "reminded the Cabinet that in a real situation, these will not be normal people -- they will be scared, will be hysterical, will be 'absolutely nuts.' We are going to have to be prepared to operate with people who are 'nuts.' "
He warned his Cabinet not to get entangled in bureaucratic details. "Who is going to bury the dead?" asked Eisenhower. "Where would one find the tools? The organization to do it? We must not assume that we are going to handle these problems with calmness." Later he observed, "We will be running soup kitchens -- we are going to be taking care of a completely bewildered population." He feared anarchy. "Government which goes on with some kind of continuity will be like a one-eyed man in the land of the blind," the White House memo concluded.
Going further on a limb, one might speculate that under the martial order, to assure a balance of power, the governing military authority (MA) would fall upon a select group of persons -- a committee -- perhaps modeled after the elite Joint Intelligence Committee who also served on the Intelligence Advisory Committee, all neatly connected to the Joint Chiefs and the NSC.
Which of course brings us back to the Kissinger memo and the TOP SECRET/... and the idea of a MA JIC oversight for MJ?
It's been an interesting year over at STARpod.us, the new STARstream Research website.
Migrating the older Microsoft-based website to a new Wordpress content management based site has been time consuming but the new site promises to be a more efficient way for us to provide you with the latest news from the strange world of weird science, psychic intelligence and perhaps, extraterrestrial alien contact.
