You GO John Podesta. It's about TIME!!

[cherokeeprogressive]

He's demanding that the US Government come clean on what it knows about UFO's.

I totally agree. I've seen them myself.

It's TIME! Let us know what the gubmint is hiding in Nevada.

He knows. He's been part of gubmint. Maybe he's seen the bodies, if that's what you can call them.

Time to let the cat out of the bag. Put an end once and for all the argument that goes on here about whether God exists or not.

4. Linky for ya. I for one am SERIOUSLY convinced they exist and would DEMAND to know what he knows

9. Thanks. Wow. From 2002. I happen to also believe he's right, because

I've seen some weird stuff. Not lately, but in my late teen years. Who knows?

[cherokeeprogressive]

12. I have seen things in broad daylight that were neither balloons nor airplanes.

I KNOW there are sentient beings in the universe other than ourselves. Okay, I don't KNOW, but I KNOW what I've seen. I swear I'm not being facetious. I've seen them with my own eyes.

20. I've seen things as well

Both night and day...sometime ago, which is why this thread caught my attention.

[onefreespiritedchick]

21. I would really like our govt to come clean

For once and for all. Other countries have released info in regards to UFO's, to my knowledge.

3. If such ships existed in US custody, likely, most people in gov't don't even know they have them.

If there were flying discs or flying triangles around, the technology they possess would likely cause disruption in society. By disruption, I mean the tech would put out of business entire industries worth hundreds of billions of dollars, such as the oil industry.

5. I actually think the disclosure might cause wars between religious factions.

But I'm all for it.

[elleng]

7. What ELSE is new?

ENOUGH of anti-social 'religious factions.'

[babylonsister]

11. Huh? Why? nt

[cherokeeprogressive]

14. I'm not THAT versed in the major religions in the world.

I think though, from what I've read, that there is no text in the koran that could explain the presence of ET. That alone could cause a war if one religion or the other could be seen as a supporter of the existence of extra-terrestrial intelligence.

Think about the number of adherents of one religion or the other.

[Old and In the Way]

16. It would have a profound effect on religion.

Should intelligent life be confirmed in the future, religions would be hard pressed to explain that phenomenon. The judeo-christian religion would be particularly effected. It would validate the idea of evolutionary processes at work. If government has kept evidence under wraps, I think it might be because of the uncertainty with how it would be received. People rely on their religion to make sense of this world and their existance in it. Such a revelation might cause millions to lose their moorings.

I would think it could have a unifying effect on the world....it'd no longer be country vs. country, but world vs. world. That's assuming the large populations of faith-based peoples could make the transition to this new level of consciousness.

[Selatius]

13. Well, there's a faction that worships money. They would cause the worst problems.

Because the kind of technology that would allow you to jump from planet to planet and from star to star safely and quickly would be the kind of technology that would definitely make a lot of powerful industrialists suddenly irrelevant.

We live in a world run by these false gods who demand you worship their money and their castles. That kind of technology would be a weapon to bring down those false gods. They will not go quietly.

8. Can we please have a government that doesn't treat us like we're 5 years old?

[babylonsister]

10. I like that idea. Let's examine the possibilites without going crazy. nt

[TexasObserver]

15. The population is often more mature than the government.

[Cetacea]

17. Most people can't accept that dolphins/whales are smarter.

A little fact that any off duty Navy researcher will readily admit with enough drink...

I doubt that people could truly handle ETs. Just look at some of the knee-jerk reactions right here whenever a UFO thread comes up.

Thanks for posting this. I hope he has more success than Carter and Clinton did.

[Kaleko]

18. I've been waiting for 20 years for that disclosure.

But now I think there is a chance for this particular bubble to burst in earnest. The UK government, France, Brazil and others have opened parts of their classified files to the public. America now has an opening to jump to the cutting edge. I'm kind of confident that it won't be possible to keep the general public in the dark much longer.

[greenman3610]

19. Carter promised to do this, then nothing happened.

what was he told when he became pres?

[Radical Activist]

22. England has been gradually releasing its UFO research recently.

No disclosures of little green men yet.
