Peter Farley is an Australian-born journalist, metaphysical researcher, and spiritual healer, He is the author of the controversial book series, Where Were You Before the Tree of Life? - The True History of the Darkness and of the Light. All six volumes of which are now available... With the last three volumes available soon. These books are the first to fully map out the history of alien interaction with the Earth, past, present, and into the near future. Extending the work of noted researchers such as Erich Von Daniken and Zecharia Sitchin, the book series goal is to show its readers the extensive repercussions this interaction has had on life on this planet, especially its formative role in the global conspiracy known as the New World Order.

Little Green Men: The Cover-up Continues
by Peter Farley
The much-publicized 1997 50th anniversary celebration of the Roswell
Incident drew an impressive list of speakers on various aspects of the subject.
Subsequent festivals have drawn, at best, small crowds to what were little more
than city-wide fairs centered more around kitsch than serious speakers and
honest discussion of the issues. Guided as they have been by local businessmen,
and focusing on “scientific” researchers such as the notorious Dr. Stanton
Friedman, these events and the museum itself have now placed their focus heavily
on “scientific” fact rather than on what seems to be of most interest to the
public in general—personal experiences and broad-ranging answers to honest
questions about life and existence in the Universe.
It is this scientific method that, though having an obvious validity in
uncovering some of the clues to help in solving the larger issues, has itself
few if any of the answers to explain any of the phenomena it purports to study.
It is a limited view in which everything is still an apparent mystery, but by
calling it so, the scientists are then able to perpetuate their own superior
roles as controllers of the information.
Meanwhile, potential speakers such as Gregg Braden, author of Awakening to Zero
Point, and renowned for the depth and integrity of his research on the areas of
pole shifts and planetary movements, have been dismissed as being “too far out”
to be recruited among possible speakers for the museum events. Well-documented
abductees such as those written about in by psychotherapist, author, and
well-known convention speaker Constance Clear in her book, Reaching for Reality,
have also been casually dismissed, along with the remark that they “only say
they have been abducted.”
One case of this bias that involved the author of this article brought home the
depths to which this roadblock mentality can sink. After a recent standing-room
only talk at the museum for the Roswell UFO Festival during which I did my best
to cover the immense field of alien involvement in human origins in the short
time available, my talk was attacked by Dr. Friedman as being “unscientific,”
and by a fringe-element religious group in the city as being alien-cult related.
Covering the ideas of much-vaunted researchers such as Zecharia Sitchin and
Laurence Gardner, the material succeeded in putting together the pieces of what
obviously is a very complex puzzle. These comments came among almost universally
positive feedback from everyone else who attended, though as usual it is the
negative complaints that get passed along and not the positive ones. A
subsequent request by me to do a book signing at the museum one weekend was
denied on the basis, and I quote, that the museum “didn’t want anything to do
with the paranormal” in its facility. How ironic coming from supposedly the
world’s foremost UFO museum.
It seems as though if something is not immediately reproducible in the
laboratory or does not agree with the accepted scientific community’s view, then
it is not fit to be heard by the public, those who can always vote with their
feet should they not like what is being presented. This is the same public who
have made shows about the paranormal a staple part of our entertainment diets on
both television and in movies, as well as in the books that it reads and that it
buys. Subjective experiences such as the more than 17,000 UFO sightings on the
museum’s database and more than 2,000 personally reported to museum personnel
should then, by these definitions, also be dismissed because these people only
say they have witnessed a UFO.
Arthur Miller’s famous play The Crucible, a standard in most high schools or
universities, is based exactly on this kind of witch-hunting suppression of
freedom of speech and free discussion of ideas.
Attached to the museum is also a research library with more than 3,000 books,
videos, and sundry files and reports, many of them donated by noted UFO
researcher of almost 50 years, George Fawcett. Fawcett’s contributions came from
his own personal library and included many books of a philosophical or
metaphysical bent, covering the whole field of paranormal phenomena. Librarians
at the research center, all with little or no experience in the subject field,
freely admit that they think much of the donated material and books such as
those dealing with planetary sacred sites, extradimensional phenomena, and
metaphysical studies, shouldn’t be in the library because “it has nothing to do
with UFOs.”
Again, this kind of limited view of the whole enormous field of which UFOs are
only one small part, is perhaps the greatest roadblock put in the way of all our
hopes to one day find our true place in the Universe. The limiting of what kind
of material and information people have access to or can listen to is the most
insidious form of control over men’s minds ever devised.
Much of the field of UFOlogy has itself been usurped as personal territory by
the religion of science, as evidenced by the number of PhD’s and doctorates
listed behind the names of many of the most prominent speakers and researchers
in the field. This is not to say that rational judgment isn’t helpful at certain
times, but not to the exclusion of all other kinds of creative thought and
analysis. When people seek to understand themselves and their place in the
Universe through an understanding of extraterrestrial lifeforms and UFOs, the
often grandiose and pompous attitudes exhibited by so many in the field who want
to decide what is fit and proper information for them to use, serves only to
hinder rather than to help.
A good example of this limited scientific thinking occurred recently on an
edition of Whitley Streiber’s very popular nationally syndicated radio show,
Dreamland. During the whole time the subject of the new harvest of crop circles
in England was discussed by a prominent doctor and scientific journalist, every
scientific aspect of the crop circles was discussed. What, however, was never
mentioned nor even intimated at was the question of what the heck are these crop
circles trying to tell us. Electro-magnetic fields, physical effects on people
entering the crop circles, military surveillance of the phenomena—all were
covered in depth, everything that is but the possible messages these crop
circles and their creators were trying to convey.
It is very much like the case of the professor I once had for an honors course
in the works of Plato. This scholarly gentleman spent all of his time lecturing
on the various intricacies of Socratic argument while admitting he knew none of
what it was that either Plato or Socrates were trying to say in these arguments.
In these times where the medium has become the message (or the massage as
Marshall McLuhan would say), the true messages concerning alien involvement with
the planet have fallen by the wayside, hidden by the smoke and mirrors of
people’s attitude of self-importance and their desire for power over others.
This has become the most effective cover-up of all.
As a journalist and former instructor of journalism, I have watched with
heartfelt sadness at the almost complete destruction of our First Amendment
Rights in this country. It is, however, the public’s right to know that is at
the heart of this current battle in UFO-dom, a right that as we have seen from
recent releases under the Freedom of Information Act, has never been very well
respected by any of the powers that be.
Where commercialism is concerned, we find the trivialization of the subject
matter at hand—”the little green men” syndrome. Where either religion or science
are allowed to control the areas or topics for debate, the honest search for
truth is also trivialized or made impotent by the narrowness of focus.
As Dr. Friedman was so vocal in making known at his recent Roswell appearance,
he did not care for the inclusion of so-called “New Age” speakers among serious
speakers at the recent UFO symposium held in Istanbul, Turkey. In almost the
same breath he publicly stated, with no apologies to former President Bush or
other government and military figures who have used the term, that he believed
there was no such thing as the New World Order or its conspiracy.
The real truth of the matter will only be found with the input of all those
concerned, and with no information being dismissed as irrelevant. The public
should be informed that not only are they the victims of so many of these
roadblocks and cover-ups meant to keep them blind to the knowledge around them,
but they are also the cause of roadblocks such as those created by the “little
green men” syndrome. They need to be reminded that the lines in the old song are
true, “There are none so blind as those who will not see.”
