I listened to the Stanton Friedman interview. Let me first say, I have a ton of respect for Stanton and have read a good deal of his writings. Like you, I am curious to know the reasons why he would stoop to levels of being interviewed by the Cousins
But as for the interview itself…. others than being conducted…by…well… a person who I just find a bit creepy…. I think it was completely on the up and up…. Meaning…. of the questions he answered, I did not lose any respect for Stanton except for the fact that he is on this sight… The conversation on Disclosure, although, interesting, was really nothing new but I loved the talk about abductions.
But… as I reflect…I have to be honest, it was a good interview. The questions that were asked we decent… and I was impressed with Stanton’s six reasons for not disclosing the truth about aliens \ ufos any why Americans are in control of covering up the truth…
First… (with regards to crafts) you (America) “wants to figure out how the darn things work…They make wonderful weapons delivery and defense systems…because they can out maneuver anything we got… so you want to be the first to figure this technology out….”
Second… you can’t tell anyone what you know because we live in a world of my gun is bigger than yours… and you can’t let other countries know what you know… or even worse… what you don’t know….
Third problem is… if you were to make an announcement…. What would happen…. He gives an example of the queen and pope making a joint disclosure…. Mental hospital admissions go up (really?) …. Stock market goes down… then… he said something interesting…. There would be a great push from younger generations to figure out a new view of ourselves in the cosmos… and in a sense…. We as earthlings come to the acceptance that we are not the top dog in the universe anymore and… then… the people in charge would lose power… and no one loves to lose power….
Fourth problem…. The religious view point from people not ready to accept that humans are the only intelligent life in the universe… and that all of this ufo stuff is the work of the devil….
Fifth problem…. If they are coming here…. They…then have developed new methods of energy…transport…and…pooof…. There goes the oil companies and etc…. economic madness
Sixth...then Stanton said… that he has been told… that on 7 different occasions that aircraft went up… military aircraft… to investigate \ attack…. That they did not come back…. and nobody has been told about that….
But getting back to the larger topic…. I think the Cousins are very manipulative… and I can’t help but to wonder if they are doing a few legitimate things here to unsuspecting participants in an attempt to bring new viewers in… to further their per$onal agenda…
