Listeners,

This note is not directed to any single individual who commented concerning possible UN meetings on disclosures. It is the overall response pattern that dismays and concerns. It does not reflect well on the flexibility and adaptive quality of our research community. I do not know the sources and circumstances well enough to either accept or reject the particular accounts.

It does, however, merit serious discussion. Moreover the reports of extreme contentious squabbling, short-sighted self interest, religious dogmatic disputations, the refusal to think in other than the most immediate national provincialism, has a strong ring of truth. It reminds one of some UFO conferences.

The comments in this venue, so far, seem embarrassing in their simplistic, reactionary, rigid categorical thinking, binary logic, and lack of imagination as to the possible stellar neighborhood complexities. It doesn't seem that most think outside of the most elementary labels and reflexive thinking.

There is a non-adult, simplistic thought pattern being applied. The statement that visitors are concerned with human freedom and free will choice is greeted with what amount to hoots of ridicule. This is taken as a lazy excuse to deal as mindlessly as mainstream media deals with UFOs in general.

That there may be off world divisions, jurisdictional conflicts, alliances, varied goals and policies , that may be in play seems to be beyond the spectrum of thinking possible. Some factions , may very well have a keen sense of freedom and free will---the traffic here has for the most part avoided population centers in broad daylight, they haven't overtly invaded, we are not treated as north American Indians were treated, with colonization and conquering.

Instead of a serious analysis of possible ET diplomatic moves and other indications, such as watching activity trend lines that point towards a daylight appearance over populated areas, we have the superficial logic that this would lead to planetary panic.

Nonsense.

Yes, many would be upset and others greatly excited. The major talking-heads, network anchors , government officials, would all be on the hot seat. but even if a Phoenix (3-13-97 ) type event took place, at high noon, we'd manage, we will manage. The skeptics would hide out, churches would be packed as much as bars, and there would be a mass sell off on Wall St and elsewhere.
