The Central Intelligence Agency has been something of an enigma for United States foreign policy for many decades. I’ve previously discussed some of the CIA’s recent efforts to privatize Intelligence work.

However, if you really want to know how does the CIA define intelligence, you have to understand the foundation of the organization and the long history of how it attempted to influence foreign nations since then.

In effect, the CIA was born from the Office of Strategic Services, the active Foreign Intelligence organization critically necessary during the major world conflict of World War II. Once the War ended, the Intelligence organization found itself without a real mission - and the O.S.S. was officially terminated in 1945.

However, despite the fact that most government leaders considered the intelligence organization as a “necessary evil” during such a terrible conflict against such a ruthless dictator - the majority also considered such a “foreign intelligence” organization as unnecessary during peacetime.

In fact, when the C.I.A. was eventually founded upon the same basic principles as the O.S.S., the State Department, the F.B.I. and even the Department of Defense all attempted to stifle the growth of this new organization specializing in covert foreign intelligence.

Well, loyal readers, it has been a full week since any update on this blog. My overloaded schedule is to blame, and the fact that I’ve been spending a large amount of my time collating and organizing information for the upcoming Gordon Novel interview.

Last weekend, I thought Gordon was going to back out of the interview because he’d requested that questions and answers be vetted first by Jim Marrs, his son Sur Novel, and of course Ron Pandolfi. I’m pretty certain Project Camelot folks, George Knapp at Coast to Coast and Jerry Pippen did not need to jump through these hoops. However, Steve and I have become accustomed to these sorts of things - people throughout Ufology are always cautious when they are approached by RealityUncovered.

The good news is, the questions are completed and submitted to those three individuals as Gordon requested. The bad news is, he’s now added a longer list of individuals who need to “approve” the interview before he’ll move forward. I am still holding my breath…but not much longer.

I was very interested to receive the UFO Casebook update from the good BJ Booth this month on January 25th, and to see that one of the updates refers to news that New Zealand is planning to release hundreds of secret files regarding UFO sightings in New Zealand from 1979 through 1984. The reason it perked my interest is because of this earlier post I wrote regarding Bruce Maccabee.

What’s particularly interesting is the fact that Bruce was first pulled into the CIA’s data-collection efforts into Ufology when he was invited to speak at the Agency on the 1978 New Zealand sightings that he had gone over and investigated in 1979. FUFOR, of course, was not happy with Bruce’s involvement with CIA contacts - in particular, Kit Green and Ron Pandolfi - but that’s a story for another time (I covered some of it in that earlier post).

The night before last (January 27th), I spoke with author Nicholas Redfern about an upcoming book that he is planning to publish very soon.

He’s just about finished writing it, and in reviewing his emails he caught one that I’d written a while back to Sarfatti’s list and wanted to follow-up with me. The goal of the phone call was to exchange any information or contacts we may share in common on the issues Nick is pursuing in his book.

Nick is a very nice fellow - pleasant to talk to and also very intelligent. He is clearly a guy with a credible and professional writing background. He has worked as a staff writer for publications like the British Magazines Zero, The Weekender, Military Illustrated and Eye Spy, and as a journalist for British Newspapers London Daily Express and Western Daily Press. This only touches the tip of the iceberg of his experience.

Well - I was finally able to publish the John Alexander article on RU tonight. The signs all point to John Alexander as an important player in the UFO field as well as in psychic research. John’s UFO and Psychic connections don’t only exist within the realm of rumor and gossip, but they are documented in countless books and now, even a movie.

There is one thing that I find absolutely remarkable about life. You can be coasting along, completely bored with little to do, and then when one aspect of your life gets busy and interestingly, the floodgates just open right up.

The Alexander Article Gets Interesting

You may be wondering about the photo. It’s an image of where I’ve been spending most of my time these days - my car. Seems lately that I always have to be somewhere I’m not, or doing something other than I’m doing now. Life can be pretty crazy.

As loyal readers know, I was planning to publish an article on John Alexander at RealityUncovered this week. As I was about to publish last night, I remembered the promise I made to myself to always provide the person I’m writing about with an opportunity to comment. So last night I contacted John - Mr. Non-lethal weapons himself - and asked him a few questions.

The questions were whether he could share more about the 1986 meeting at Ernie Kellerstrass’ house - such as who invited him and why he, a man who was working within a secret, government project on human psychic abilities, would attend a meeting in 1986, about UFO’s.

There’s a lot published out there regarding John’s involvement in the Remote Viewing research, but there’s little written about his efforts in Ufology.

In Exempt from Disclosure, Bob Collins cracks the door open (from the inside) and gives us a glimpse of the activities and the players involved. John Alexander was one of those players.

I’ll be publishing the article and interview on RU the moment I can get out of this car…

Other Upcoming Interviews

As many of you know, I had plans to interview both Paul Murad and Gordon Novel. Gordon has essentially made it clear that he won’t run and hide, so I’ll be taking him up on his offer and interviewing him on audio soon. I will be asking him a couple of questions that I can guarantee no other interviewer has asked.

So don’t miss that one - I’ll post an update here when it’s up. Secondly, I will be interviewing Murad, but I think it’s important to do so after the Gordon interview.

So, stay tuned. Things may slow down at some point, but until then, let’s enjoy the ride and see what we can learn along the way.

Over the last few years, if you’ve followed along with the latest events and rumors floating around Ufology, you’ve probably heard of MJ-12. If you haven’t, make sure to catch up on the distribution of those documents through the background provided at RU. One of the most important things about those 1980’s events is the fact that they haven’t slowed down. The same meme’s, and the same personalities who surround them, keep surfacing again and again - most recently in the form of “Serpo” in 2005.

From 2005 and beyond, RealityUncovered gradually revealed the folks who were not only the closest to the source of distribution during the Serpo events, but also during MJ-12 and the Bill Moore fiasco that is now Ufology folklore. As a result of that “outing,” many people have interviewed each of the particular players - Kit Green, Hal Puthoff, Rick Doty - and in our case (RU) we actually went further and interviewed or looked into the backgrounds of some of the individuals more deeply involved in the development of some of the early memes, such as Ernie Kellerstrass and Dale Graff.

Many people have developed their own theories regarding the motives and the truth behind the actions of these individuals and the stories and legends that have been produced and distributed to Ufology through the years, and one of those individuals is Gary Bekkum.

Digging behind the various threads, personalities and events that litter the Ufology landscape like a post-war zone leaves one with two things. The first - a very bitter taste in the mouth. Second - a distinct impression that if anything holds true it is that a common theme throughout Ufology scams is technology.

If you consider all of the various weird and wild claims throughout the years - Burisch and his Ganesh Particle, John Lear and exchanged alien technology, Rick Doty and the Roswell-recovered Energy Device, John Titor and Time Travel Technology, Steven Greer and his energy and propulsion technologies and last but not least, Gordon Novel and his RAM antigravity project - they all center around a common theme.

That theme is this - aliens delivered a technology that humans have yet to reverse engineer, but when we do it will have earth shattering social implications.

Only a day after Gordon Novel was interviewed by George Knapp on Coast 2 Coast on January 17th, Ron Pandolfi started contacting his Ufology sources for feedback about the interview.

I was personally contacted via text chat this week by Ron Pandolfi, and he asked about the Gordon Novel interview. I informed him that Gordon had “called him out” on a national radio program. Ron appeared unconcerned with the revelation. Interestingly, he shared a metaphor about Gordon Novel - implying that he was used as an experiment to, as he put it, “…to have Gordon live within the pack and compete for dominance.”

The wolf metaphor made some sense - considering that Gordon’s place within the fringe scientific community he was mingling with was one where he carried the promise of funding. With that promise, the scientists always follow. Watching from the shadows over the past few years, as events unfolded around RAM, I was personally perplexed by a man like Ron who works in the ODNI and studies potential cutting edge science for the JASON group, would have any sort of interest in a nutty character like this.

The wolf metaphor put things somewhat into perspective. The idea may not have been to have Gordon and his claims taken seriously, but to inject him into a seedy world of junk science in order to “live within the pack and compete for dominance.”

After my last updates that detailed the fiery exchange between Jack Sarfatti and Gordon Novel, Jack Sarfatti responded here at this blog with some intriguing comments. You see, Sarfatti has had an inside look at the behind-the-scenes machinations for many years.

Say what you will about Jack, unlike many of the other characters in these shadowy games of misinformation and deception, Jack is a straight-up take-it-or-leave-it kind of guy. If you ask for his opinion, he’ll give it to you. If you ask for the background of particular events - you’ll get it without any sugar-coating.

Jack’s most recent comments were in response to my article, “Opportunities, Fringe Science and the Spies Among Us.” In those comments, he detailed Gordon Novel’s interactions with SARA (which we’ll get to in a moment), and he also provided more information on the actual technologies being discussed. In this article, I’m going to take a look at the organizations and technologies that Jack mentioned in his comments.
