Disclosure, disclosure. We've been talking about it. Is it going to happen? When's it going to happen? When are the news networks, the major news networks? When are they going to start actually covering it? This and more. We've got so much. There's a new report that says that now Sean Kirkpatrick, he's going, oh, you know what they're doing? They weren't letting me. They weren't letting me talk. Is that true?

I'm really pumped.

I'm very excited. I wanted you to finish your intro so we could just write, right to it. Same, same. All right. So let me get to it. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the executive director of Paradigm. And he is also a disclosure advocate just like the rest of us. And he is the first UAP lobbyist in Washington. He is the one and only Steve Bassist. Steve, how are you? It's great to be with you. It's been an interesting 28 years. Yeah. I was sitting up in Boston at the offices of the program for extraordinary experience research, which was set up by John Mack as he tried to

research the contact phenomena in the early 1990s. Just an amazing man, Pulitzer Prize winner, brave, way ahead of his time. They held a symposium at MIT, brought in researchers and contact these as early 90s, and so naturally the Harvard University went after him. I feel class went after him, and he had a rough time, but he is a legend. And I got the pleasure of the honor of being just volunteer for about four months and that's how I started in the field. Oh wow. Great door to go through.

Yeah. But not my, not my lane and it was up there in an office in June of 1996 when I realized, okay, what am I going to do, right? I'm not going to be able to be going staff here. How can I, and I realize, wait a minute, I know Washington backward and forward. My family's lived in the metro Washington areas in 1920, right, been and out of there forever, there, whatever. I'm going, you know, and I know politics. And I thought, you know, this issue, it's not about science. We proved it. It's been proven I'm teen times. So if it's been proven,

then why haven't we moved on? Right. It's a political decision. It was a national security political decision that they have kept going all these years for whatever reason. That's okay. And therefore, if you want to get this issue resolved, you've got to have a political solution. All right. So what can I do? And I'm sitting there and I'm going, I don't think anybody's ever registered a lobbyist on this issue. I know what a lobbying, right? They got lobbyists crawling all over the place in D.C. They make big money.

They're representing everything. Oil industry, high tech, Saudi Arabia, whatever the hell, right? And I'm going, but I'm pretty sure nobody's, why? Because first of all, nobody's going to pay you. And then you're going to get a lot of crap. And if you want to go up in the hill, right, nobody's going to talk to you. So I'm thinking, of course. So I'll be the first.

and so I was rushing so fast to get down there because I was so afraid that somebody was going to beat me to it, right? And I remember packing all my stuff up on top of an RX-7, and it's not a big car, but I had bike racks on it because I was a triathlete kind of guy, and so I put boards over the bike rack, and then I took all the boxes, and I stacked them up in a pyramid,

the pyramid of Giza, you know, strapped it down, and I'm driving down there. Huge rainstorm hit the East Coast. I'm driving to a massive rainstorm from Boston down to Washington. And because, you know, I'm afraid I'm about to kill somebody. I'm doing like 30 miles an hour over the right side in the rain. I'd go through one of those.

You have to go about four or five, six toll booths. And I'd pull into the toll booth and the guy is looking at me like, what in the hell? I give him a buck and I continue. I tip this all the way down to Washington. Wow. I get into D.C. I go to one of the family homes there where I'm going to stay for free. I drive up, a giant pyramid on top of my car.

I walk in and I have a very elderly aunt, very elderly, worked her whole life for the phone company. Kermudgeon takes no crap off of anybody. You know I'm talking about super tough. I walk in, she's looking at me. You know I was coming. Sit down across from her in the corner. And I looked at her and she looked at me and she said,

how much money have you got? And I went in my pocket. I had 18 cents. Oh, my God. I mean, I had spent all my money. I was a volunteer, right? I spent it all. I had 18 cents on the gas in the car.

And she looks at me and says, I knew it. And I told her, hey, I'm just going to be here for a while until I get set up. I was there for five years. Okay. And so I registered as a lobbyist right away. And I was the first. Thank God I didn't kill myself coming down from Boston, right? And I remained the first for the next 20 years, 25 years, right?

So what was the strategy? It was simple. I knew that the post, my paper, though it's disappointed me many times, they track every lobbying registration, potential news there all the time. So some big firm suddenly registers for some foreign country, and you're going, we've got to find out about that. And so I know they're checking them, you know, coming through, coming through, and then boom. This guy's registered on the issue of an extraterrestrial presence and the suppression of ET technology from the American people. That's interesting. And so they sent a reporter up to my office in Bethesda

gave me a big interview, big photo, terrible photo I have. I don't bring it out a lot. It's one of my worst photos. But I'm holding up the big symposium, the big book, the record of the MIT Symposium on Contact D that John Mack put on in MIT. Big thing, you know. And I got this huge article in the front page of the business section. I mean, this is primitive PR. It's probably the best PR thing I ever did.

It's hard. I've never really matched it. And so suddenly I'm a thing, right? I've got this article, and I'm a thing not to the general world, but to the UAP community. It gave me credentials. And from that point on, I was able to launch what amounts to. I didn't do a lot of lobbying, at least not in the traditional sense. But I did, well, I lobbied the media, right? Yeah.

And I put the issue out to try to get the media involved. And, of course, I engaged the UAP community. And that got me started. That was 1996? It has just gone in such a, as you can attest to, in such a, I wouldn't say super mainstream yet, more mainstream, obviously, in the last year than it probably has been at all because the coverage of the hearings and the coverage of what just happened, what was it a month ago when the first caucus, right?

So that is monumental, but the thing that I do want to start with is that something I've heard you talk about before, and I definitely want to talk about it again, is that when you, you and I and Riley were talking outside, and I gave you kind of the backstory of this podcast and how it came to be, and that we were essentially, like many other people, just finding out about a lot of this stuff, because when you talk to people,

and I don't even know, I should have asked our engineer here today, how much they know about the hearings, how much they know about the caucus, how much they know about the fact that the speaker, the Senate Majority Leader, Schumer, and Rounds are up there talking,

and it's not being reported on by the MSNBCs, the Fox News, in the mainstream? I'm going to have to stop you there. Please. That is actually a misunderstanding. Okay. And I'm going to tell you something very important.

Yeah. Okay. One of the, basically, you know what drives me? I'm not an overcheever and I'm lazy. I mean, this is why I didn't really find my career until I was like 49. Okay. Okay. So how did I succeed?

I have a trait which has served me well. Okay. OCD. Oh, yeah. I had some bouts of OCD back in my younger life. Not fun, not comfortable. Yeah. Okay.

So, but if you can take obsessive compulsiveness and put it to good use, it can be valuable. And so I've done some things that require real obsessive-compulsive approach, right? And one of my, I think, most important projects is this. In 2006, I started creating a print media archive. because of the internet. And while there's been articles written about this subject going all the way back to 1947, believe me, lots of them. But again, back then there's an article,

it goes in a paper, that goes in a bird cage, or out of the trash, and it's gone, it moves on. There's three channels with 15 minutes of news, black and white, no internet, none of the stuff. And so all those articles didn't have much impact. But then as you start to move into the age of the Internet, which starts about the time I entered the field in 96, good timing, So by 2006, I realized a huge number of these articles are online.

You can find them. And so I started going online and finding these articles in creating a print media archive that went back to 47. Now, as I go back, the number of articles I could find were limited, right? But still, got some. But starting in 2006 forward, I'm just picking mainstream articles. I'm not picking paranormal press. I'm going with stuff that's relatively substantive. I'm not doing too much, I guess you could say.

There's not a major bias there. I'm also putting up, debunking articles, if they're legit. Sure. Started that in 2006. It's on my website, Paradigm Research Group.org, under resources, scroll down to print media archive, punch through the flash page. And what you see there is the largest compilation of media on the subject in the world because of my OCD.

That's great. That's great. That's great. thousand articles. And that, and in the last couple of years, they peaked. Right. Okay. Last year was the largest number that I archived, which I know reflects the fact that the number of articles last year was the largest in history. And I understand, this is just English language press, which includes the United States, Canada, UK, India, and elsewhere.

All the foreign media coverage, I cannot archive. Okay. Equally as large, may be larger. So last year, almost 1900 mainstream articles on this subject linked there, okay? And then whatever else in the foreign press. And then I curate more than ever now. In the early days, there wasn't so many, and so I'm putting everything up I see. But now there's so much fluff and small stuff and little venues that I have to curate. So that's 1900 articles curated out of maybe 4,000. The year before that, I think it was 1,600.

This year it's going to hit 2,000. Why am I going on here? Because what people don't realize is that there has been enormous media coverage of this issue. And obviously, people got to lead a life, right? Even with the Internet, what are you going to get up in the morning? And you're going to check up eight newspapers online? No. And so they tend to get their news pretty much from television.

Well, television has not covered this issue nearly as much as print media. All right? And so my job was to let, hey, it has covered. it and if you got a few days, go read about a thousand articles and you'll realize, wait a minute, it's all being covered. Oh, yeah. It's actually putting it out there. Just not where the people are getting it. But here is the difference, and here is the key difference that I've mentioned many times.

And this is where the media basically went along with the truth embargo. You could say they laid down for the government. You could say that whatever, they sold out. I don't think so. This is the deal that they made with the government explicit or implicit. We're going to write thousands of articles. If something happens, we're going to cover. it, somebody sees something we're going to cover it, got a conference, going to cover it.

If you say something, the government says we're going to cover it. But what we're not going to do is send out a Woodward and Bernstein to go through the Defense Department's trash cans or start looking for people that'll talk to them on the backside, right, to create an investigative story and blow the lid on this. They have never done that. That was the deal. And that, of course, is one of the reasons the Truth Embargo has survived. survived. But if you look at the media coverage and you go, you know, you pretty much told us what's going on here. And of course, they've gotten more and more aggressive in the last two years.

So I want to make that point. And the point is absolutely noted. And you can see it when you, as far as print and all that, you can see it. There's no doubt about it. What I'm more so alluding to is the fact that like when I bring up my wife as an example who gets her news from after the kids go to bed, she turns on the TV and she looks. Normally, the lead stories, especially during the hearings, and the fact, print-wise, a lot of people covered the Schumer and the round stuff. It was nowhere to be found on mainstream television. Well, it depends on what you define as mainstream.

Okay, so let's say. Do you consider Fox and News Nation mainstream or are they second-tier? News Nation did cover the hell out. Tons of it. But the stuff that I'm seeing as far as, News Nation is up and coming, and they're doing great, great work over there, especially on the topic. There's no doubt about it. But I'm talking about, like, even like something like Lester Holt, right?

And when you turn that on and the news stories are either Hunter Biden, Trump, a cat stuck in a tree, something else too. And the fact that they're not even covering the Senate majority leader, whether you believe them or not, even if it's a reporter saying, what's this guy doing? They didn't even touch on that. That's the stuff that I go, what's happening? Let me help. Let me help. Yeah. Okay.

Because I do, I'm scanning and doing search terms on all the media coverage. I get stuff for ABC, NBC, CBS News. Oh, yeah. They'll do a thing. And if they do an interview or something, you know, that gets picked up on it, and I'll put an interview up, even though it's interview not print. I put that up. And so if you go to the print media archive, and the way I set it up is it's a page per year.

All right. So you could put, you could do a search term, ABC News, and you can just start clicking. and it'll take you down and show you every ABC news article or NBC or CBS. And if you do that, you start to realize, you know, they'll have to cover it, right? They're doing something like it. But what they're not doing it is giving it the status that theoretically it deserves. And this is the compromise that the news networks did. In other words, the big three, which obviously go all the way back to Roswell.

I think they were in place at that point. Basically the deal, and again, explicit or implicit, doesn't matter. They may not have sit down. They may not have even communicated. It's like, this is why I know we got to do this. But a couple of phone calls back in the 40s and 50s, and it's like, okay, no, we get it. We get it.

Here's the deal. Look, national security. You guys are the three big networks. When you do something, things happen. When Walter Cronkite gave that speech on his news show, his news, and basically said, The Vietnam War is a catastrophe. A lot of people in Washington knew,

it's over right then. They had that kind of power. And so ABC, NBC and CBS basically sort of agreed in one way or another. They're like, okay, we're not going to do this on this issue. We will cover it from time to time. And I'll tell you, as you go back in time, the amount of coverage you get on those channels, it just evaporates. So yeah, it's coming on now. But even now, they're not prepared to give it the exposure it should have. And that's what you're picking up on. That's exactly. And that is a compromise. And why is this important? Because one of the questions that is worth asking. And I wanted so hard to do a documentary on this, gave it a shot, pandemic came out, and boom, right? And then we started again, this wider strike came out, and boom. It's a tough business, this town, you know? So it's okay. Other people will do it.

But I wanted to do the definitive document on the truth embargo, which is a term I came up with in the early aughts. Okay, it was like 2000, and I came up with that term for a specific reason. UFO cover-up was the term used for decades, and it's problematic. One thing about activism is your language has got to be good. If you get bad language, it screws up everything. And there's examples of this throughout history.

And this was bad language. Why? Because the UFO cover-up basically said whether you picked it up right away or not is that the whole policy of the government to sort of keep this national security closed is illegal. They're all criminals. This was a crime being conducted since 1947. And everybody that's attached to this, whatever, all criminals.

Well, it wasn't illegal. It was completely legal under the 47 National Security Act and remained illegal on the basis of national security. Not that they didn't do the odd illegal thing, but people understand that. And so the people in this program are not criminals. So if you want to criminalize everybody inside that's involved with this issue, you're not going to make any friends. You're not going to be, you know, saying things behind the scenes, you know, kind of trying to be positive about it. And so I said, no, it isn't a cover-up. It is an embargo, exactly like Cuba.

They embargoed Cuba for their reasons, and 63 after the missile crisis. And was it legal? Of course it was legal, but you couldn't go there. And if you went there, there would be consequences. So it's like that. It was an embargo. Except they didn't admit that there was a Cuba. They basically were not acknowledged.

But they said, whatever it is not down there, you can't go there. It's kind of weird, but that's what they did. And so it was an embargo. And I said, let's call it a truth embargo. And that is the term that's being used today. Wow. And then the question is, how did 76 years the U.S. government maintain a truth embargo on something that was being seen all the time overhead, investigated to death by the citizens, research, books, sightings, how did they manage it?

Well, the documentary, if ever get a chance to do it, will explain that and the key pillars upon which that truth embargo rest. one of which was, of course, the print media's decision, we will cover it, but we will not investigate it. And the other was the major news entity's decision that we will not force the issue. We're going to stand back. And there are other pillars, but there were two of the biggest. And I also feel like, and you've answered my question because I'm always, and we're always talking about, why did we feel like the mainstream media isn't covering it, but you've just corrected it and what it is. I feel like it's the better question is, why is it not sinking into the 99% of people out there

that have no idea this is going on? Well, because, first of all, things happen and even big things happen, believe me. I mean, South America could sink into the ocean, right? You know, one of those unfortunate events, and it'll be big news. And two months later, you'd be going up to people in the street and they're going, what? I didn't know, right? I mean, we assume, no, no, no, no. people and it's getting harder all the time you want to raise a kid buy a house make a living

well the kid's going to cost 40,000 here to go to college the houses are now beyond your reach and so people are they have to focus on living yeah and it's in back in the 50s when there wasn't as much media people had a lot more free time and they could you know they can actually pay attention to the stuff now that we got the media they haven't got the time and so we have to keep that in mind that's why you need activists and you need expanding media like what I call the podcast revolution to reach more and more people easily so that they can keep up to the extent possible with all the crap going on in the world. Yeah, but I also feel that our culture has taken UAP, UFO, whatever you want to call it,

and kind of made it like a fantasy. Like I always liken it to, you might as well say I saw a dragon fighting a wizard. It's our pop culture is making ET the extraterrestrial war of the world all the movies So then when we say hey we saw something in the sky and I got You're are you serious it's a balloon it's a balloon it's a what is this E T is this Spielberg directing what are we talking here? I'm here to help yeah I'm gonna help again. Thank you okay We talked about two pillars of the truth embargo

Let's talk about the third and of course it's a big one The government's heavily funded a very serious campaign to create propaganda, disinformation, misinformation, and to interfere with the process of discovery of this issue. Okay. Yeah. Okay. And they got a lot of money, the government.

They got supercomputers. They probably had AI way before we got to see it. Right. And they also have nuclear weapons. And so it's like, you know, what are you going to do? And so that is a huge thing. They committed to this. And so that has played a very significant role in maintaining the truth embargo.

Now let's talk about another pillar. Now this is a smaller one, but it's on the review. The film industry, which we refer to as Hollywood, but that means everything, okay? Sure. But Hollywood is the symbol for the film industry and even the total entertainment industry in the world, okay? Hollywood. Again, it's one of those implicit or implicit understanding.

understandings. I don't know if guys in the Pentagon were calling up producers in Hollywood back in the 50s and 60s and saying, hey, here's the deal, right? Make your movies get rich, but like, don't go there. And people say, well, are you sure about that? Check out a guy named Chase Brandon. I'm pretty sure the name is Chase Brandon. It's close. But he was the CIA's liaison with Hollywood. And he came out, while back with some interesting stuff and had to pull back very quickly. Okay, I'm looking at that. Okay, check out that. And then there's an incident, I don't think it's apocryphal, I think it's real. I'm pretty sure this is true. Independence Day, the first Independence Day film, fantastic.

Independence Day, Resurgence? I'm so sorry. Not a good movie. I'm hoping Independence Three, you know, makes up for Independence II. I think Resurgence took care of Independence Three. Well, it's coming. Independence Day Three is coming. Of course, I like, you know, anyway.

The point is that it's a fantastic movie, all right? It's practically a PR film for the military, right? I mean, a lot of guys watch that film. They signed up right away. And so they're making this film need huge cooperation from, you know, the armed services and all the stuff. And they get it, right? Films have been getting that for years.

Because, you know, at a standpoint of the military services, it's like a wonderful promo for them. It's a promo for national security and all this stuff. And so they cooperate. And that's why they get these aircraft carriers, whatever the hell. Right. And so they got the deal.

They're working on a movie. And at some point, somebody at the Pentagon read the script, you know, and they happen to notice that about halfway through the movie, they're talking about Area 51 and the fact that the Roswellcraft was there. They got in touch with the producers of that film and said, you keep that in and you get no more cooperation from us. You're going to have to come up with your F-16 somewhere else. And the producers of that film said, screw you, fine, we're putting it in. Not only did they do that, and one of the things, if I could ever get in front of the producers of that film, who I should know their names, I'm so sorry. Oh, I'm going to, Dean, Deadline. If I could get in front of him, this is a question I would ask him.

Oh, God, I would love it. That scene on Air Force One, when they're fleeing, right, and they're on their way, and they decide they're going to go to Area 51, and there's this scene where the president, right, and the lead protagonist's character all they're standing around, and, and some, and the father, and the father, and the father, and the father, and the father. who's played by what you remember that Bill Pullman yeah but don't know no no no the father of yeah yeah judge Hirsch yeah he's kind of the wild crazy guy and he's kind of says oh yeah yeah yeah that's where they have the Roswell craft you know and everything else and then the secretary i think defense says uh uh uh no no no and and Pullman the president says no no no no you don't understand that that's all myth and everything else and as they turn to go the secretary of defense says that's not exactly notly accurate yeah right right and my question

in the Merrick would be, was that already in the script, or did you put that in after they told you to go pound sand if you add that? Okay? And so the film industry made this decision, we're not going to go there. Okay. All right? Okay. So, and I've done, I did this research on this, okay? My numbers are, but they're close. Since 1951, when the first real sci-fi film came out, I mean, forget the Flash Gordon stuff and everything. But I'm talking about real film. They've done about 600 films with ETs in it, of any type you can imagine. A lot of them are well known, a lot or less known.

About 600 films. I did the box office analysis, did the conversion, you know, to modern dollars, factored in TV rights, advertising, you know, stuff like that. And also television, right. I estimate that the film industry, since 51, in modern dollars, has made talk, including product sales. Oh, boy. Upwards to $200 billion on films that have the ETs in them.

Yeah. Highest grossing genre in all of film, okay? Interestingly enough, though, with the exception of a way back, a documentary that was focusing on Van Doniken and his thinking about, you know, the ancient times was one film. That's it.

Other than that, not a single documentary on the E.T. issue has ever gotten big screen distribution. And one of our guys renting a couple of studios does not count. And why do you think that is? I mean, the tent pole alien movies are bringing in a billion five, billion nine, and the dock would cost about $5 million. The interest is high.

Why not? Because, you know, I could be wrong about this. If some big shot in this town must have taken me aside and said, Steve, you got it wrong. Here's why. you put a documentary like what James Fox does. A moment of truth. Or one of his early ones.

Oh, God, I can't remember. Oh, shit. I can't remember one of his early docs. It's so important. It was a great show. Anyway, you take one of those really good docs, and you stick that up on a giant screen and put it in 2,000 theaters.

That gives it a gravitas, a power, right? This kind of really motivate people. Of course. All right. Thanks for tuning in, guys. I appreciate it. And before we continue on with the interview with Steve Bassett, who's just phenomenal, I do want to tell you guys about two of our wonderful sponsors.

Let's talk about some habits because you guys know you got some habits and there's nothing better than beating a bad habit with a good habit.

And we've talked about fume before. You guys, you guys know, we've talked about fume. We've, We've had a few on and we're glad that they are back. It's great. And Mark Riley is the one who's really been talking this thing up. And I can't wait for him to talk about it even more so on the show when he's on for UAP. And he's just talking about how flavorful it was better than he thought. It feels very fresh. And it's like refreshing herbal tea, but if it was vapor, it was, you can look at like sticky soda.

It's got none. It's really good. It's well weighted. It's perfectly balanced. It's extremely fun to fidget with. And it really, look at the wood itself. It's great. You can start the year off right with the good habit by going to tryfume.com

Fume is giving listeners to the show 10% off when they use that code big thing to help make starting the good habit much easier because it's you get it. Instead of bad, fume is good. It's a habit that you're free to enjoy it and makes replacing your bad habit easy. It comes with adjustable airflow dial and it's designed with movable parts. It's great. They use flavored air instead of vapor.

Fume is completely, completely natural, by the way, instead of electronics. And there's no, this is the reason why I decided people are, well, why would you, why would you get involved with someone like this? Why? Because they don't use harmful chemicals. They use delicious flavors. And that's why I got involved. Fume works. They're great.

So thank you again to Fume for a sponsor in the show. All right. thank you to our friends over at Fume and Magic Spoon. I really do love both of them. I'm excited. I hope that you guys love them as well. All right. Now, I know you want to hear it. Let's get back to Steve. Of course. Well, that's what I was telling you beforehand. When I started getting, when I started doing more and learning more about this stuff and I'd watch that, the UFOs, the, the, um, uh, investigating the unknown, which covered the New York Times article,

Leslie Kane and all that. James Fox was in there. But then I started watching James Fox's documentaries. And I watched the moment of truth. And I said, the fact that I had never heard of this until I got involved in this community. Because once you get involved in the community, you start hearing about everything. You start learning about people like yourself. And you start hearing these names. But that's where I was going with the mainstream stuff of it, is that more people. Because the idea of it is that if the, and this is where I ultimately want this conversation to go with disclosure

and where it's coming and with the Soul Foundation and all these different things, if it turns out that whatever the hell is in the sky, what David Grush's claims are, the fact that they are non-human, all this stuff. It's the biggest story in the world ever for human history. It's been the biggest story in the world since the 50s. It's always a big story in the world. What I'm saying is that for every single person, though, not just, if you're aware of it, yes, it's the biggest story in the world. But the fact that it's so insignificant when you turn on the news and the first three stories are things that ultimately are not going to matter. It's not going to matter.

So what is happening, among other things, really starting in 2007. which was right when the when the when the when the I guess the video dropped and switch was in okay yeah and suddenly we went to another place a place that we've been trying to get to for 70 years okay a lot of people work their butt off paid for it out of their back pocket did all kinds of stuff train themselves to docks train themselves to do research whatever and did not live to see that switch flipped in 2017 okay so and one of the things that's happened since then, just to close out the point I was making before, is that we still have not had a documentary

on this subject, and there have been many. Steve Greer's done some fantastic ones, so his James Fox, so many of my colleagues have done them, got full, got theatrical distribution. What has happened, okay, and this is notable, is that as we switch to the streaming era, okay, and suddenly now that becomes almost as big as the big screen. Yeah. And pretty, pretty hands. given we had a plague and we had all this stuff. And so essentially two things have happened in the last two and a half years, which are much more important than people understand. And that is this.

One of the A list of A-lister's in this town, J.J. Abrams, took on a documentary project that wasn't doing well, put the bad robot and perimeter behind it, and the producers that did it, and they put out a four-part documentary series on Showtime, which is pretty much the same thing is sticking that thing up on a screen. Yeah.

Okay. Four part called UFO, which I think pretty much makes the point, doesn't it? Highest rated series in Showtime history. Right. Okay. It had some mistakes in it because they're not ready to, the people that do that stuff in this town are not ready to interact

with the people that have, you know, been doing the labor and all this stuff, the heart carrying the water. But that's changing. We'll talk about that. And then a year and a half later, A God among men. What can I say? What can I say?

Stevens Spielberg. He's my guy. He drops a four-part documentary series on Netflix. On Netflix. It's called Encounters. Yes, my friend of mine, Andrew Fried, also produced that. So now, that's a lot, and I'll take it. But I am waiting for the first studio to say, okay, James.

Right. That doc you did? We're going to put it out again, okay? On the big screen. I'm going to put it out again, right? Phenomena. We're going to put it out again. We're going to give it 3,000 theaters. We're going to do premieres. Right. You're going to get interviews. I'm waiting for that. And let me tell you, it might happen, right? Because he's doing another one.

The point is, and that will be the ultimate statement that the film industry has come to understand, okay, we understand the way it was. We played it a certain way. No more. We are going to be part of the solution absolutely on board. Yeah, but I think that also comes with the shift, right? The shift in what we were also about previously, with the news networks and that leads us to the disclosure conversation, right? And that leads us to, because I heard you recently on an interview, and forgive me, I can't remember the name of the show that you were on, but you had said, you were talking about, it was upcoming when rounds and Schumer were talking about the bill itself. And you were very hopeful that it was actually, because it's been, it's passed, but it was gutted

for the most part. Am I wrong? Well, let me just real quick. So with that, with that, what you were saying is I was listening to it and I'm like, oh man, had it just actually happened this particular way, there would have been a lot more information. Do you feel it was, did anything actually get accomplished to further it along? Or is it more so we're going to get more information from Gary Nolan and people over at Seoul?

Should we be following them? Or will, Rounds and Schumer, will the government, who are supposed to be fighting for it, will they get something done? Okay, good question. And I've gotten really good at this because I've done like 120 podcasts in the last like 12 months. I'm sure. I mean, look, I will do a podcast on five minutes notice at two in the morning. I am the podcast guy, right? Call me. I'll do it more. I don't care, right? It's in your basement. It's two and a more. I don't care. I'll do it. Call me. Right on. Give me a stream yardly. So here is. You know this. You know how it goes now. I have now mastered the super, super summary of this.

Yeah. You ready? You ready for this? Yes. So the people can understand that question. Okay. The switch gets flipped in 2017 when 10 people come out with a Two the Stars Academy with a substantial resume. in the military intelligence complex covering a range of areas, semi-van, Steve Justice, Mellon, Elizondo, et cetera, et cetera, et okay, that comes out. Big deal. I knew immediately, this is huge. This is a paradigm shift. Most people, what's going on it?

No idea. Plus it was led by a rock star, and people are going, what's with that? Though I understood that as well. No big deal. They come out. So I'm going, okay, fine, but where's it going? I mean, I see this as big, but what are you got? What are you going to do?

Okay. I mean, if you're just going to come out and just, you know, sell some stock and try do some research, that's not going to cut it. Well, I found out in just two months, two of those people, in that group of 10, they came out with the Two of the Stars Academy of Arts and Scientists, delivered a substantial story to some journalist named Leslie Keene and Mount Blumenthal, and a lot of us this stuff was going on.

I don't know all the details, but the ultimate outcome was two major stories and key evidence was provided to the New York Times, just 60 days after they launched. And that included three gun camera clip footage, that Elizondo got because apparently a guy that he knows in the Pentagon happened to understand, knew that they were kind of out from under the security clearance thing. Yeah, kind of misplaced or whatever's over here, right? So it's not covered anymore.

And so boom, they could get it and not go to jail. So he gets that, Melon gets involved, they get that out to the New York Times. Plus they tell them the story about A-Tip, which is a nickname, read all of that stuff, and they put out, and then that's what happens. We get the two stories in print, December 16, 17, the whole thing goes up online. That is an historical moment. New York Times doesn't understand. That may be the most important thing they ever did.

Now, they've done some big things. They're not going to admit it yet. But down the line, they're going to come out and say, you know, that's probably the biggest thing we ever did there. And again, and here's the cool thing about it. And again, this is another reason by the truth embargo, which had a great run and had, you know, all the support and the pillars that I mentioned,

cannot last. Is it the gun camera clips went up with the story online. Do you know how many people have seen those clips? Billions, perhaps. Billions of views worldwide. Now, the fact is that they may not be non-human craft. It doesn't matter. But what they are is actual legitimate gun camera clips of intercept efforts by our aircraft

of something they didn't understand and they were then bolted. And guess what? They have thousands of these. And they're not 10 seconds or 30. 30 seconds, they got 30 minute clips. Guess what? The UK has gun camera clips. France, Germany, Canada, Australia. Every nation with an Air Force that has ever sent up a plane to intercept a bogey in their airspace

films it. Because if it goes badly, you want a record. It's like having those little cameras in your car. So if somebody crossed the line smacks into you and says it was your fault, you say, I have a clip of this. Okay, game over. And up until that moment, when those clips were given to the New York Times and put up on that web, no gun camera clip from any nation had ever been officially put out because to do that would end the embargo.

And so that was a milestone. And so that's the beginning, 2017. All right. And things are happening. A lot of coverage is going on. And then for the next couple of years comes a lot of important behind-the-scenes activity. And the leader of that was Christopher Mellon, who has the political background, both in the House, but in the Congress, as well as the Department of Defense. He's doing behind the scenes, getting meetings together, briefing members of Congress, whatever.

He's doing that. Meanwhile, El Salvador, and this was not an area that he was, I think, comfortable with. He went to social media. He was the guy who was going to talk to people, right? And he's the kind of guy you can relate to people, right? He's like, you know, somebody you could sit down and have beers in a bar. But his background was intel, undercover. You know, he had not had exposure to the social media.

I don't think he knew just how rough a trip was going to be. But Elizondo is giving interviews and talking about this, and that's getting things out in the public. And other things are going on. But over the next three years, from 17 to 20, there is a huge coverage. Believe me, there's plenty of media coverage. People are getting brought up to speed.

But the disclosure process is primarily being done behind the scenes. That goes on for three years and then boom, the next major thing happens. What's that? No, no, no, no, no. We're talking 2020. So because of all the stuff behind the scenes, because of the media coverage, and because, you know, members of Congress can actually watch television and their staff can do that, they're starting to get up to speed, getting up to speed.

And finally, and this is historic, the first legislation in the history of the issue is submitted for a bill by none other than Marco Rubio, who was the chairman of the Senate Intel Committee. Pretty conservative Republican. Good guy. I like him, but still, he's conservative. And so, and he slips it in, not to the NDA, which is, you know, one of the major bills. He slips it into that $2 trillion COVID relief bill.

You know, you know, got to have to pass that, right? We've got to have that COVID relief. And it's not a lot of language. It's fairly small. It kind of slips it in there. Talks about setting up EUAP, whatever. It's not huge. on my website, Paradigmundracegroup.org,

if you go to the main page, right there at the top as you scroll down, I have all four of the bills, converted into like a PDF, because the legislation is ridiculous to read. It's easy to read. It's even got some highlights. And you can go to my, you can read all four of the bills, and you go read the first one that was signed in December, I think, 23 by the president, and then became law in 2021.

So it was signed by Trump. Okay. And that's the first bill. What happened is we get another bill in 2021. We get another bill in 2022 and another bill in 2023. And all four of those bills are up there. And so that's four tranches of legislation. And so essentially the full legislative process is underway.

But as that legislative process is building the structure and the legal basis for everything that's going on, obviously more things are happening behind the scenes. You've got members of Congress saying, you know, I need to go read Richard Dolan. You need to go read those books, right? I need to go watch this dock. I can do this. I got to get up to speed here. And, you know, oh, Chris Mellon, look, I understand you're bringing people up.

Could you bring one to my office? Whatever. All this is going on, and the thing is fleshing out over those four years. The coverage is increasing. So that was happening, right? So, again, I'm just doing a little summer here. And then we have what I call, I guess, it's the beginning of the end game. It's the move that basically signals everybody that plays chess and is watching this game is going,

that's it, that's end game, okay? What was it? As we're moving forward toward the forced trance of legislation, which at that point was not big, it was like modest. It was just, you know, little, but we knew it would be more, but there was a bit of language up there in the Senate site, because the Senate has always led on this. Wildcard, Black Swan event, David Grush comes out of nowhere. for us. Now, we knew people inside knew about it.

Because there had been a drama, kind of a melodrama going on there. And the results of that melodrama, which can go into more if you want, is that David Grush made a very significant decision not to come out as a witness. And almost everybody that's coming forward to witnesses, let me make this clear.

There's this thing where everybody calls anybody that comes forward as a whistleblower. Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh, uh-uh. You know, you don't want to be a whistleblower. whistleblower. Whistleblowers do not have a good time. Witness is not so bad. I'm a witness. I saw something like Ryan Graves. Ryan Graves was a witness. He gave testimony what he saw. He didn't come out and say, you know, I've been part of the Air Force. We saw this. The whole thing's illegal. It's bad. I'm bringing out this stuff. No, he's a witness.

Grush, was it your whistleblower? He called himself a whistleblower. He claimed that the policies were fundamentally illegal and he came forward as a whistleblower. And he didn't come forward with just anything. He comes forward and he says, I was part of the task force, UAP test force, right, before it became Mero. And it was my job to talk to people. They talk to me.

Okay, great. And some people inside the government, some people inside USAP programs, not a non-atessen, talk to me, and they said, hey, we got non-human tech, non-human bodies. I thought that was significant. And before we did anything,

he then contacted other people that had clearances, appropriate clearances that he knew from his work with geospatial and elsewhere and said what is this true and a number of them said yes it is now at this point he starts going to send an intel staff whatever and say well I got this I want to present this to you he felt he was doing his job well he was ahead of his skis this was not supposed to happen that soon really but apparently he didn't get the memo he's doing his job he wasn't somebody outside of it coming in and say oh I have something special somebody told me this on a deathbed no he was working for the OAP task force it was his job and so suddenly instead of you know okay great let's let's let's work with that no he starts getting harassment from people on his side and he's not happy about that and eventually it got bad enough that he goes to the inspector general the intelligence community

the IG you know Homeland Security National National National Intelligence Office who a fellow by the name of um Monheim, and to make his case that I'm being harassed, please take measures. And guess what? He got relief. They heard what he had? And by the way, so he told him what he'd heard. He's telling the IG what it was I heard and told that is now getting he harassed. So the IG, if he didn't know it then, knew it before, know it then. And he got, you know what he got relief?

Because the person that representative represented him before the IG legally was the former and first inspector general of the intelligence community Charles McCullough. Now that's that's strong representation. So he gets that, they give him relief, but guess what? You know, it's like, I'm not trying to pick on men here, but it's like women to get restraining, you know, orders from their boyfriends. They don't work so well. Right.

They don't work so well. So he may have gotten relief, but he started getting death threats from people who were anonymous, right? So it didn't matter what the IG said. They're anonymous. Now he's getting death threats, threatening him and his family, and he had enough, and so he goes public. Again, Leslie Kane and Ralph Blumenthal turn up. There's got to be a Pulitzer Prize in here for them somewhere. Okay.

And they produce the story at the debrief about what he has to say. Ross Colthart takes the interview. It all drops on June the Fifth. Like a bomb. Yeah. Okay. I assure you that across the overall spectrum of engagement within the government, this was not on their bingo card.

Wow. It was too soon. But, you know, they've been dragging their feet, taking their time. Two tranches of legislation, three tranches, let's don't overdo this. And so it was inevitable. Something was going to happen. And so that drops on June the 5th. Boom.

Okay. So there's a story behind how I found out about it. We don't need to go there. We can do this in another show. And so, okay, I'm going, this is huge. But now what? What's going to happen next? Because I knew that there was, I've known for years, some years, there's a plan underway to end the truth embargo to set up disclosure. And I've talked about it at length. We can go there if we have the time. Okay. And I knew that the general public did not understand that. That there was this massive disconnect that was not awful, but it was perhaps inevitable, that the public was being told, we are setting all of this up to find out what's going on. up there because you have a right to know.

That's not what was going on. It had nothing to do with that. The government already knew. What was going on was to setting up all this structure because we're going to have to disclose this to you pretty soon and we need to have this in place before it happens. But the problem was in order to set all this stuff up, they couldn't come and say, hey, we need this legislation, we need Arrow and all this stuff because there's ETs here and we need to get ready for it. You can't do that because that can only come from the president.

So they're in a, they have a conundrum. They're in a pecker. How can we set all this up without acknowledging the ETs are here? And so they had to play the people, they had to be mendacious and so forth. It was not going to be easy, but it was going pretty well until David Grush turned up. And now, what in the hell do you do? And I'm thinking, what's going to happen? And here's what happened.

And this is incredible. I mean, talk about the first move in the chess game, the end of the chess game was Grush coming forward. The second move, which put us even. even closer to the end game, was a move made by what I'm gonna call him a grandmaster. Man's a grandmaster chess player, okay? His name is Chuck Schumer. Yes.

Okay, and so Grush drops the bomb on June the 5th. Of course, Schumer finds out immediately. Yeah. The legislation that was up on the Senate site was still modest, it was nothing big, we expected more to come. So he had X amount of time to decide what am I gonna do about Grush?

Now, obviously Schumer, everything that had been going on in the Senate Indian Committee. He knew that people had been briefed behind the scenes. He was aware of all of that, though he had stayed out. He didn't hear from him. The sponsorship was from Chillibrad and Rubio and Warner and so forth, okay, keeping it there. But now there's a change. Something has to happen.

And so between June the 5th and July the 14th, 39 days, Senator Schumer started working on the next move. He recruited Mike Rounds and others. Why is that important? Well, first, Mike's a Republican, but he's also on the House Armed Services Committee. So now he's added the Armed Services Committee to this thing, the sure of the fact that the Senate Endow Committee was carrying the load. And over the next 39 days, they crafted, what I think is, in terms of the legislation format that they use, 63 pages of additional legislation that was going to be the Senate,

bill and they and they he he he he he he announces it on July the 14th I think it may not have actually gone up on the site until July the 27th but he announces it on July the 14th boom and so I find out about this and I immediately go and check it out and I'm looking at it and I'm going holy mackle I mean whoa this this isn't just another piece of legislation this is this this is the whole thing thing. I mean, this is it. What he is proposing is the full process, the full plan in which everything that's secret will become secret no more, how it needs to happen, all the processes, how it needs to be unresponsibly time frame. It's the whole thing. It's the final, it's the final package.

You know, if this passes, that's it, okay? And off we go. And I'm going, well, that's really impressive, right? That's really amazing. That's pretty good. And then I heard the last thing. And I literally almost fell out of my chair. Included in this legislation, the United States government under law was going to assert eminent domain. Overall, the non-human tech in the hands of the

civilians that... I mean, I knew the implications of that, and I said, wow. How great is this conversation? This guy is blowing our minds, obviously. Quick break. What I want to tell you guys again, we've got to tell you about, I'll tell you about both about Vaugh Designs and the people over at the perfect gene, which I love. Tell you about both of them.

For a limited time, our listeners will get 15% off their first order.

Plus, free shipping. We've got to go to the perfect gene.n. Or just Google, the perfect gene. We use that code big thing. You get 15% off. You got to get these comfortable genes. And I'm so glad that I learned about them and they sent them to me. It's finally time.

Stop crushing your balls. Stop it. All right, guys, as I mentioned earlier, all of our sponsors, they're linked in the description. They are also the first pinned comment. If you're able to help, please do so. If you love these things, which I think you will, go ahead and get them today.

All right, let's get to it. Let's finish the interview with Steve Bassett. Here you go. I mean... Did you think I was going to pass, though? I mean, do you think that someone like a Mike Turner would come in and poo poo all over it? Initially, I had no opinion whatsoever.

What was most important is he announced it, right? Yeah. I'm going, okay, this is massive. Right. Okay, fine. And so in that moment, on July the 14th, an important day, Chuck Schumer made a master chess move. One of those kind of moves when you're watching the World Championship game

and you're thinking, you know, it's definitely going to be a tie. No way anybody wins. And this guy makes a move, or it's a woman, can be a woman, makes a move. And you're going, that's it. They've lost. And then you look at it about another 30 seconds. you're going, holy mac, well, this is one of the greatest moves of all time. What did Schumer do on July the 14?

Number one, he instantly backed up Grush. The Senate Majority Leader, basically, and if you read between the lines, basically said, yeah, we've got, we've got ET, non-human tech and ET bodies. Okay, otherwise, why in the hell of my wanting eminent domain over them? So he's completely backed up brush. We've got to tell you about. I'll tell you about law designs and. crap being tossed at the perfect gene.

Which I love. I tell you about both of them. He's protected him. Okay. All right guys, as I mentioned earlier, all of our sponsors, they're linked in the description. They are also the first pinned comment. They help.

If you're able to help, please do so. In case you were wondering, if you love these things, you think you will, go ahead and get them today. All right. And third, let's get to it. Let's finish the interview with Steve Bassett. He basically sends a message to the entire intelligence, military

intelligence community. All of them, right? Because even if you're working on a USAP program, 40 floors underneath, I don't know, S4, area 50, whatever the hell, you can go on the internet. I mean, you can go home, you can watch TV, and so everybody in the government, no matter how

classified they are, special they are, can find out about that. He just sent that message to everybody. He sent it to the UK. He sent it to Canada. He sent it to foreign powers. I'm confirming indirectly, we have non-human tech, which means the truth embargo is going to be over pretty soon. All right?

We also have non-human bodies. And more importantly, I'm just declared eminent, I'm clear we want eminent domain over them. Now, here's where it gets cool. I don't think he felt he could get eminent domain. I don't think there was any chance that would stand because that is a big deal. So you're basically saying he knew what happened was going to happen. Yeah, but, but he couldn't lose. Here's why.

He knew this. He said, one, if I put eminent domain in there and eminent domain and things get really hairy in the reconciliation process with the house, maybe we can trade off the eminent domain to keep the subpoena power or keep the UAP review board. Okay? But let's say they take it all out. Okay, let's say take it all out. Okay. Well, first of all, and that's what they did.

Okay. But again, they're playing checkers. He's playing chess. All right. So, okay, they took it all out. They took all the powers out. which is the way it went down. Yeah.

And I'll be happy to address how it went down, but let me just finish this. And so what's going to happen next? I'll tell you what happens next. This is so cool. He and Mike Rounds go in and do one of these statements for the record in the Senate chamber. Some people know about this, some don't.

But essentially, when you see the camera and a guy and they're giving this thing, they don't show anything else, that's because the entire chamber's empty. There's just a camera on them, and they're giving you this thing, and it's going to go out and C-SPAN or whatever the hell, but it goes in the record. It's not because they want to gather the senators together.

So he goes in and he puts it on the record, both he and rounds together. And they're going back and forth. They're doing a little, you know, it's like a team. And he's saying, well, you know, I'm really disappointed that they took all the powers out of the bill, though they kept the essence of the bill, the fundamental fact that disclosure must take place. They just took all the power away

and left it with the people that don't have the possession of the docs. And we're disappointed. We're kind of irritated with the, with the Republicans that they were championing this. But we fully intend to keep pressing, you know, because we're going to get this done and then Mike Rounds comes in and whatever. And then he ends and he walks away when they leave. Okay, he does that.

And then it occurred to me. I said, okay, I fully get it now. It's absolute genius. Here's what's going to happen. Hopefully the Senate Intel Committee, and believe me, everybody wants this. Gary Nolan wants it, which is why they're dropping all the videos. I've started a little project called shiftstorm.org.

Don't forget the F, which is getting people to send, you know, tagged Twitter messages to the three key people, which is Schumer, Warner and Ruby and Schooner, Schumer, Warner, and is the third person. Mike Rounds, I think. No, Warner, Schumer and and and and Schumer, Warner and Rubio. Those are the three people because Rubio is the ranking member. Let's get the hearing done. Okay. Okay. Because if we get the hearing, which is totally in control of the Senate Intel Committee and Chuck Schumer,

the Supreme Court can't stop it, the president can't stop it, nobody can stop it. If they want that hearing, boom. And there's dozens of witnesses ready to testify like that. Well, let me ask you that one, because that's what everyone's been talking about, right? As far as like the next hearing, as you're alluding to, and then who, because David Grush is not going to. to go, maybe he does testify again, but who, what? Who comes across, is what I'm saying. Who's next?

No, David Grush absolutely will testify to the end of the committee. And they've got another 20 David Grush's lined up. That's where I'm coming forward behind the scenes, right? They've been accumulating them for a year and a half. They got so many witnesses they could hold it for a month. That's great. But they've got enough witnesses, at least 12 to 20, David Grush types, that if they sit down for a week, morning, afternoon sessions, and give the test,

to money under oath, it blows the truth embargo to smithereens, which sets the president up to be able to come forward and say, no first majeure, no, oh, I'm the president, I'm going to, no, hey, I've seen it, you've seen it, we've all seen it, I've checked into it, made a few calls, and I can confirm we do have non-human, tech, non-human bodies. Disclosure, boom. Right. So. Is that this year with the election you're coming? It happens if, all it takes us for the Intel Committee, you hold that hearing. So if they hold that hearing next week, we'll have disclosure before February is over and here is the chess move. Wow.

Which a lot of people, I'm sure, did not consider. You ready? When he declaimed eminent domain, he knew that for the first time in the history of the truth embargo, the inside people, particularly the defense contractors, could no longer hide. They had to come out of cover. They had to go in a sense public. They've been rocking for 60 years, pulling in the box, working on tax.

working on tech, re-engineering stuff, you can't F-O-I-A-M, right? Once in a while they do it a little like T's, like Ben Rich will come out and say, you know, we have the tech to take E.T. home. Great, Ben. Why don't you show us the tech, right? They did this often. They couldn't do that anymore. Why? Because these defense contractors had plans. You know, we got some tech, we got some amazing new science, we've learned all this stuff. Yeah, we were paid well. But we're thinking about some patents. We're thinking about some startups. We're thinking about making billions of dollars, and we've been very patient. Decade after decade, we're not saying anything. And now you're saying you

could take the tech? You could take the tech and the rights to it. Now, some people immediately jumped online and said, oh yeah, they're going to be sending stormtroopers to Lockheed Martin, the fascist bastards. No. Eminent domain simply means we have the right to take it if we want it in terms of the public good. But maybe we don't need it. And if we don't, you can have it. And if we do take it, we may then come back to you and say, okay, here's what we want to do, and you can be part of this, you can make some money, but the decision is the Congress's decision, not Rayathon's decision, okay? That's what it meant.

But as far as they were concerned, oh, they're taking it all. And so they had to make a decision. What are we going to do? And the decision they made was this. They went to their intermediaries. They went to their lobbyists. And in case, I don't know if this shocks you, but tend to. upon tens of millions of campaign donations,

common defense contractors to members of Congress, millions and millions of dollars. They said, you need to go talk to some big shots in Congress and let them know that we want that bill gutted, or at least we want the eminent domain out of there. And if you don't do that, the contributions may dry up. And who do they go to?

They went to the two most powerful national security guys who happen to be Republicans in the House. Mike Rogers, the chairman of the House Armed Services, and Mike Turner, the chairman of the Intel Committee. And just for good measure, they went to Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House. And then they also recruited Mitch McConnell. And so what was decided was that these powerful men were going to go to the Republicans pretty much,

so I think some Democrats were approached, who were part of the ongoing reconciliation project, a meeting and say, got the bill. And Johnson had the real power. And we don't know all the details yet. They will come out. But in Turner and Rogers were important. But Johnson had the power to say that we won't bring the bill to the floor.

And so with Johnson in there and McConnell as well, the bill got completely gutted. Okay, fine. But it got gutted before the world's people, right? Everybody knew who was behind it. Everybody knew it was the defense contractors. I mean, who else? Now, there were probably some people inside the military intelligence community

who were not defense contractors whose view was that disclosure is bad for our national security. And that they have a legitimate feeling that like this should be kept secret longer, it could embargo longer. And they may have joined that process on that basis. But by and large, it's all defense contractors.

And so what has just happened? And again, this is the chess move. Chuck Schumer, in that move, forced the defense contractors and others to finally come out of cover, got that bill. They had to do it. And when they came out of cover, what just happened? The entire defense contractor, a carderent of defense contractors that the build our aircraft carriers and our F-17 fighters and deal with ET Tech just confirmed that they have ET Tech.

because if they don't have ET Tech, you don't care about the eminent domain bill. They have confirmed it. So who hasn't confirmed we have ET Tech now? Schumer's confirmed it. Grush has confirmed it. The IG has confirmed it. And now the defense contractors have confirmed it.

And then, which makes it a little easier maybe to hold that Intel committee hearing, right? Right. And so guess what happens? If they hold the Intel Committee hearing and bring the Grush forward and Robert Salas and the other nuclear weapons tampering, turnoff witnesses, some of which are still alive and have been trying

to get in front of a committee for 30 years and a bit ignored. He gets them. Bob Jacobson, God, there's so many. There's so many we can't service them all. Once that hearing happens. The one that you were referring to real quick, that's for people who don't know, that was the one that happened in the late 60s. Oh, yeah, this is in the 60s. When the nuclear weapons were turned off, their sack base officers are still alive that were there when it happened, and they want to testify. But they've had to be ignored. So when that hearing takes place, that opens the door for President Biden, who happens to be the president. It's not a political thing. He happened to be the president when the music stopped, so he gets to disclose, okay?

And he comes forward and announces the ET presence. One week later, Chuck Schumer and the Senate Intel Committee will reintroduce that exact bill. The UAP Disclosure Act, by the way, which was the name of it, which includes the UAP Disclosure, your plan as a standalone bill into the Senate, which will pass like that. And then we'll be sent over to the House. And the House and Mike Johnson are looking at it going, yeah, it's all the same stuff. It's the same damn bill. But unfortunately for him, the entire world just got told that there's an extraterrestrial presence.

And so we're going to stop this bill? Uh-uh. The bill gets passed. And Schumer and the Intel Committee gets everything they wanted in that bill, maybe a month. later, that's three-dimensional chess. Now, look, that's a phenomenal scenario you're putting forward, but how confident are you that that's the scenario that's going to play out? I'm confident in this sense that technically, you know, sometimes for something to play out,

you need eight things to fall into place. Yeah. You know, it's like the tumbler's on a lock. This is straightforward. We need one thing. One thing only. All we need is the Senate Intel Committee to call about 10, 15 witnesses up, and they better pay their airfare and pay their home.

hotels, okay, and then just put them under oath like the House arms, the House subcommittee, right, oversight subcommittee did with graves and and, and, and Fravor and Grush. Put them under oath and just ask them intelligent questions, which by the way, we'll be watched by a hundred million people. Yeah. And every one of those members, both Republican and Democrats, are going to go down in history and it's totally nonpartisan and the public will be loving it because oh my God, this is important and you people are acting like adults and this is what we've always

wanted and they'll go down in friggin' history. That is all that's needed. And because that's all that's needed, and because the pressure was building on them, and it's gentle pressure. They're heroes. So are the housepeople, right? Burchett and Mace and Luna,

even Matt Gates, they're heroes. They're out there saying we want the truth. I don't give a damn about their politics. This issue transcends politics. But the Intel Committee is going to go down in history, right? if they do that, it's over. Because that's the only decision.

And so when, and by the way, with all of this going on, you know, there's a lot of smart people out there that I see what's coming, including a gentleman by the name of Gary Nolan. Yeah. Okay. Nobel Prize nominee. Genius. I love this guy. We've talked.

Okay. He created Soul. Danny Sheehan created the New Paradigm Institute, which is getting tons of money. Soul's getting money. These entities are being created, not to get disclosure. These entities are getting created to deal with post-disclosure world. That's what they're getting ready for. But obviously disclosure would be nice.

And so Gary Nolan goes on, I believe it was News Nation. If it wasn't, it was Fox. I think he went on twice. Nobel Prize nominee sitting there in a chair and they ask him, how certain are you that there's an extraterrestrial presence? 100%. How much more blatant can you get? And so by dropping all these videos, which they've just done, and this is a very sophisticated high-tech organization,

one high-end people. So these are not, you know, YouTube videos coming from a hobbyist somewhere in Sheboygan. This is coming out of Seoul. By dropping these videos, he's sending a message to the Intel Committee. Guys, let's get going. There's more coming like that. And so I believe the Senate Intel Committee is going to do the right thing and hold that hearing and not make the mistake of going, well, you know, let's wait to let's wait to,

after the election. Uh-uh. That is a big mistake. And I can give me the reasons for that. And so I'm going to give it 75%. Wow. That's a big... 75% we get the hearings very soon and that triggers disclosure. That's a big number. That's a big number. Right. You're going to say? No, I'm processing. Yeah. Well, I mean, there's a lot there for sure. And I think that, you know, going back to what you just mentioned with the, because as of today, when we were recording this, right in the morning, Gary Nolan and Soul Foundation, they dumped a ton of videos from that conference. knew it was coming, they put the trailer up, but we didn't know as much.

I mean, driving over here, I haven't got a chance to listen to everyone. You can't keep up. You can't. I can't keep up. The who's who of everybody that you want to talk talked at this thing. So what you're hoping, because that scenario you put out is the ideal scenario. It really is. And then the other side of it is that you have like this kind of Robin Hood over here with

the Soul Foundation of the people who are saying, look, what we're going to do is, and it seems like, they are informing the public in a way that maybe, because I like the chess while they're playing checker scenario with Schumer and rounds. I mean, you could see it. These are career politicians who know what they're dealing with when they're going inside of a, but this is another side with the Sulf Foundation of what they're trying to do. They're like yourself where they're the disclosure enthusiasts.

They're people who want the truth to be told. I mean, I find David Grush among all these other people as heroes in the same way. So what is the goals of the Soul Foundation then to? By doing all this, by putting all this, as you said, it's coming. We're protecting for the post-disclosure world. But are any of the people, do you think, that are coming out here today besides Grasch? Are these some of the people that we're going to be hearing from at these hearings should they go forward? Of course.

Yeah. Well, we will hear from anybody the Senate Intel Committee wants to hear from. Yeah. And they're going to be bringing in people that are going to be incredibly powerful. that is going to make it absolutely clear that we have an ET presence, but they're not going to proclaim it. That's not appropriate. Mark Warner is not going to stand up and say, well, I've heard enough. There's an extraterrestrial presence.

That is the president's job. Only the president can do that. Why? Somebody else can do it, but it doesn't count. No, not the same one. Only the president has the power to declassify, assuming they go through the protocols, everything and anything. And because when the president makes the confirmation statement, which I think will be in the East Room, of the White House, could be in the Oval Room, Oval Office.

That actually makes it official and formal and all the doors open, or at least are now unlockable, and we can start moving forward. But it doesn't have to be the president. Another head of state could launch this, which is another reason why, you know, he got hitting the Intel Committee. Guys do this. Women and men, please do this, do this. Because what if another head of state beats us to it?

I can think of one off the top of my head, and that our president has to go second. and say, well, so and so and so brought all this evidence out, confirmed there's an ET presence, I guess I have to go along with this. This is not good. They have got to get this done. What's the possibility of that happening, that scenario? It's a space race. It is measurable and therefore it is scary.

Yeah. Okay. So let me, I want to take another track real quick. There are many, many entities forming that are really all focused on the post-disclosure world. And to the extent I can, I'm going. and a meeting a podcast and talk about them. I mentioned to Seoul, New Paradigm. Uh, Paradigm Research Group is about to go non-profit.

Finally, I've always been a first amendment sole proprietorship so they couldn't come get me. Uh, but I'm about to go nonprofit and convert into a small think tank. Danny's massive think tank is office right by the, uh, one block from the capital and across the street from the heart building, Senate heart building. Mine is one block from the White House in the national press building. And so we're going to work together, but he's, you know, He's an ocean liner and I'm a tugboat. The point is, so I'm going to be refocusing there.

But recently I helped found an organization called the Hollywood Disclosure Alliance. And I founded it, the idea was from my partner, Daniel Harare, who's a longtime Hollywood publicist. And he said, I want to do this and I said, absolutely. And so we launched on November the 1st last year, the Hollywood Disclosure Alliance. And what it is, it's similar to the Environmental Media Association, launched in 1989, by Norman Lear with millions of bucks. It was created to be an interface between the massive film industry

and the entire environmental movement, so they get the messaging right and connect and so forth and help each other out. You know, so the resources. Environmental movement is controversial, but it's never been as controversial as the ET issue. And so that was an easy thing. And so for the last 30 years,

and that site is up there, and they've done billions of impressions and information, efforts, it still exists, and it did its job. So we wanted to do the same thing for this issue. So the Hollywood Disclosure Alliance consists. It's a fully non-profit, non-commercial, we don't make any money. We just raise tax-deductible funding.

It has a growing list of Hollywood. Hollywood stands for the entire entertainment industry, Hollywood founding members. Sure. Bio and photo is up. No money exchange. And we have a growing list of UAP founding members. You know, these are the people that make the films, do the research, journalist, activist, podcasters. You're invited, please.

We want you in the Hollywood Disclosure line our UEP. And so it's an out of around 120, soon it'll be 200, 250. And so when you go on the site, you see there's a board. We have 20 members of the board, okay, and there's an executive committee that runs it. And then we have these founding members. And so even if you're not a member, when you go on that site, you see this list of people in the entertainment industry, actors, directors, producers, whatever, who are willing to openly say,

I make content, I'm a professional, and I'm down with this subject. I'm down with the E.T. issue. I'm down with the UAP issue. Come talk to me. And then you're seeing a list of all the UAP people who have been kept away from the film industry by the truth embargo.

It's like one of those, you know, those things that some religions do where you have to put something between you and your wife or your fiancé. Yeah. Anyways, it's just separated them out, right? A board between them. We want to pull that,

board down and make it easy for them to find each other. Yeah. So that a James Fox can find somebody in this town who will put his doc up on 2000 screens or any other deals or streaming or anything to make content. So that the industry will, in general, will be the principal driver of the information transfer that has to happen post-disclosure. Once disclosure happens, you've got 8 billion people, 330 million people in this country, who want to know everything right away, right?

And that is not trivial. And so by making, this will help ensure that the content, particularly the nonfiction content, there will be narrative fiction that is created, will have the input of the Richard Dolan's and the James Foxes and all of these others who have done the work but have not had access to the resources, so the messaging will be appropriate.

Now, we're not a censor. All we do is help people get together, They make the deals, they do the content, however that turns out. And I'll just add this. The people of the UAP world have made unbelievable sacrifices. They've given up so much, and their lives have not been easy. It would be nice if in the post-disclosure era, in cooperation with the massive entertainment industry, they could make some money, you know, and have a life and be able to do more work.

And that's part of the reason for the HDA. the HDA. I'm sure that they will, especially when it comes to books and things of that nature, that will, more than likely, definitely come out. People will want to know more about it, especially when it becomes more public. And I think one of the things that I'm curious about when it comes to, because not guys like us, because at this point, we've heard so much and we hear people like yourself be able to talk, we know what's going on for people who are going to be really blindsided in the fact that, like, if, because let's say they're not paying attention and the major news, the television networks aren't covering it. And then,

president comes out and says, hey, by the way, there's an ET president. People, they're going to go, whoa, right? So are they also going to say, well, wait a minute, where's the footage? Because every time I see footage, it's blurry little footage or is this little thing. There's got to be actual, I mean, these reverse engineering programs they talk about. Somebody clearly has reported.

No, no, let me help. Again, first of all, one of the memes that's always been out there that the government is pushed is, yeah, now we can't handle it. If it happens, everything through hell, religion collapses. That's all BS. It's always been BS. Okay. But it's to service the truth embargo, to keep people away from it, right?

Don't do anything. It'll trigger disclosure and all hell will break loose. It's all bogus. But it's okay. I get it. But here's the thing. One of the advantages of a 76-year truth embargo is this. The public has been getting stuff on this for 76 years, okay?

600 movies have been made with extraterrestrials. There's nowhere in the world you can't go except set in a Lyleon in the Indian. where you can't say UFO or whatever the hell it is in their language in South America, it's ovany, that they don't know what you're talking about. Right. Just about everybody in the planet knows what exotrestrial means. They just don't know yet if they're here or not. And so when disclosure takes place, there will be some people saying, well, I knew about, I knew the idea of an ET,

you mean they're actually here. Are they like the ones in aliens? No, they're not. So it's not going to be that bad. No, it's not to be that bad at all. But they want to know. as much as possible they want to have they want they want they want some authentic information they don't want any BS and they want people to be serious about it as they

go about their life and try to address to the post-disclosure world and as it happens there is a a side car to this which I didn't I sort of didn't pay much attention to that's also important but it's not as problematic is the ET issue in a way and that is artificial intelligence you see there going to be the post well there's going to be the artificial intelligence world that's going to be running right alongside of the post-disclosure world and guess what people are going to have to adjust to that yeah right and so artificial intelligence and all that it's coming from that the post-disclosure world which may lead to open contact not not two in the morning contact I'm talking about open contact ETs and authorities discussing that's that's coming and yeah we need to we need to get information out so people can address that and deal with it because this is this is going to be changing people's lives yeah what's uh there seems to be what i call the debunkers that come out like immediately whenever there's kind of like yeah you know right um you know the jellyfish video comes

out and immediately there are people out there going to balloon it's a bird poop it's this is that fine jellyfish video aside yeah this disclosure happens what do you make and what do you think is going to happen to some of those people that I feel are doing it just because they're jumping into a, like, while we're trying to talk and get disclosure and all that, there are people out there immediately trying to debunk it because that's their lane that they picked. And there is a very popular lane of people that don't want to believe it because there's a rational explanation. It's a balloon. It's a this. It's a that. What do you make of that? I mean no disrespect. I don't care. I really don't care.

They will deal with what they have. There are institutions I'm much more going to be talking about. I don't care about debunkers. I'm going to be discussing post-disclosure how the entire academic community of this country, 5,000 universities and colleges for 76 years, have literally stayed away from, but wouldn't touch it, right? And just laid down for the truth embargo. I kind of like to talk about that. I don't want that to happen again.

And then the media issues and so forth. But the demunkers, I don't care. But to get it to something you said before I want to cover, before I forget about it, Trust me, here's how it goes down. If we get the Intel Committee, hearing, week, the President will be able to step forward and the truth embargo. The act will pass, and immediately after the act passes, as it was originally written, particularly because of the 25-year rule, all of a sudden things are going to start coming out of the secret

programs, secret information. People are going to be learning about new docs and information that was classified. It's going to be coming out and coming out. And that's going to go on for years. And that's going to include film clips. It's going to include paper. It's going to include all. In other words, there will be an ample stream of information transference along the lines of the disclosure control plan as put forward in that bill, which is great.

It's fantastic to keep the world satisfied for years. So in terms of proof, my God, it's going to be overwhelming. And plus, everything that's been done prior, all the work by the citizen researchers and activists and everything, all those books, there are thousands of them. Suddenly, the historians and academics are going to go, I think I probably should read some of those. You know, I think I should read those. And they're going to go read and go through all of it and find out that most of it was true. And so the post-disclosure truth wave will be big enough for anybody to serve. Let me ask a two-part question here. And the first is, as Riley mentioned before, with the

jellyfish video, and then, you know, you got what George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell had with that, with that video, it was essentially kind of a leak. And even more so where by the Pentagon saying we're not commenting on that. That kind of. We're not commenting on leak thing. They're pretty much confirming it. But when it comes to that, well, do you think that, A, there will be more leaks before this scenario goes through?

And the other thing, when you talked about disinformation, and as I said, it's a two-part question, so I know. Sure. I mentioned up top about Sean Kirkpatrick, who seems to be an agent of that, of the disinformation. Now, I don't know how much of this report that just came out today, or over the weekend, true, but there's a report that say that some people now say that he is saying the opposite,

is that he is now saying that he was told during these press conferences to say these things and that his team was basically the things that the progress that they made was held back. Have you heard this as well? No, I'm glad you brought it up. Yeah. Okay. Again, this is why, for various reasons, I've been kind of shut out of CNN and Fox and News Nation and stuff.

there's been some efforts to get me on, but it's being blocked. Don't know why. It's okay. I'm Mr. Podcast, right? Right. I can do a thousand podcasts by the time to get me on. It's okay. But I'd like to get on because this is a message.

It's got to get out. And I'm going to repeat it because it's so important. And it's critical to understanding Capric. Everything that's been going on, the legislation, arrow, setting up this, setting up that, everything that's been going on is been to prepare for disclosure, not to go find out what the hell's going on.

They already know. They've known since 47. And it's awkward, but they can't say why. They just have to say, let's set this up. All right. Once you get that, then it's easier to understand what happened with Sean Kirkpatrick. I have nothing but empathy for him. And he's not the only one that's been caught this way. Believe me.

Because this is very difficult chess game that's being played. It's brutal. And so Sean Kirkpatrick is a man with a fine background. He has the skills and so forth to head up arrow. I doubt that he knew much about the history of this issue. I just, I don't think so. Maltrey and Bray didn't know about the issue. They're going to find somebody that has their credentials.

They're going to say, okay, you have the, you know, you have the credentials to run this. That doesn't mean that they understand the full 76-year history of this. They don't, no, they had a career. And so he comes in to takeover era. Okay. Now, one of two things happened. Either he was told in advance, Sean, look, we got to set this up. We've got to maintain it until we can get disclosure happening.

and then of course this organization is going to be in full flower. It's going to do everything it's supposed to do, but it needs to be set up in advance. We can't be trying to set it up after the president announces, and we need you to hold the fort, you know, be the director, but understand you're kind of a mayor of a Potemkin village. It's not going to really be able to do what everybody wants. It's just, you know, and that's going to be awkward, but, you know, okay,

they might have done that, they might have said that. Or they might have just said, okay, we're setting up there. Sean, you've got some good credentials. We'd like you to be the director. You know, it's going to be doing a lot of good things and so forth. And Sean takes over and off we go. And so he's on there for 18 months. And I know right away, he probably starting to think, you know, this is not quite,

it's not going to way I thought. Jillebrand came out at one point and said, where's the funding? They're not funding it. Why didn't the money coming? Well, I knew why it wasn't coming, right? And so maybe, but still it's moving forward. But when Grush hits, whatever the circumstance that Sean was hired under.

It blows it up. Because Grushis just come forward and said we have ET Tech, ET bodies. Okay, fine, that's a problem. Then he says it under oath in front of the July 26 House subcommittee hearing. That's a major problem. Okay?

And so, you're Sean Kirkpatrick. Grush has said there's ET Tech and ETBodies. Yeah. But he's just a witness under oath. I'm the head of Arrow. What's going to happen? Everybody's going to come to me and say, Dr. Capacic,

What about the ET Boney's? What about the ET Tech? He can't talk about that. He can't go there. And he knows that. He knew I am literally in an impossible position. I can't be the disclosure guy. I can't suddenly say, oh, yeah, no.

And so the first thing he did was an emotional thing. He fires off a nasty letter about Grush. Immediately. On LinkedIn. Okay? Yeah. On LinkedIn. Yeah.

Mistake. Shouldn't have done it. Right. But still, what do you do? And so, and then now what's going forward? and the situation is getting worse and worse for him. Right. Okay?

I can't disclose. I can't, you know, I'm the director. The focus is on grush. What am I just going to be a placeholder? And at some point he had enough and he said, I'm out of here. And so he resigns. Yeah. Okay, he gets out from under it.

But he's still angry as hell. And then something else happens. There's one or two explanations for that. And I'm pretty sure it's the first, but it could be the second. The first is, He's still angry. He's still mad. He comes back and he makes a statement,

he puts that thing in Scientific American, which kind of casting doubt over the whole thing, which is really him saying, you know, in a way, it was true. You think he did that in his own, though? He wasn't pushed towards that? No, I don't think so. Arrow was not quite what it was supposed to be,

but that's not what he could say. But he's saying maybe it's not, whatever. So he does that. This is a big mistake, okay? That's wrong. And then he does some interviews. And again, that's not going well. and so now his situation is really awful

and I really feel sorry for the guy and so finally but that was the first explanation okay yeah more anger more upset the second explanation as somebody came to him and said look we understand the situation you're in Sean it's terrible it's awful

but I tell you what you know we really want this truth embargo to go on for a while and so you know we're thinking would you like to be Edward Condon of the 21st century it's like as you go out the door you say the whole thing is like not real or whatever like Edward Condon did with that report that disgraced him in the University of Colorado,

which still hasn't apologized for that, and having a better football team is not enough. Okay? So, and that will shut things down. Oh, oh, he was head of arrow. He says it's not really real. And so now we can stop. I doubt that.

And if it happened, my God, somebody needs to pay, and not Sean Kirkpatrick. I think he just, now he's finally realizing, oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. I was treated badly. I got, I got, I got, whatever I call it. I need to start. taking the right position. So now he's starting to step back

and he's starting to be part of the solution and I think he'll be okay. That is what is going on. And the reason the public still is going to misinterpret that is because they're still thinking that Arrow's job was to find out what the phenomena was. And since it was to find out what the phenomena was, Arrow should have jumped all over, Grush,

and said, man, oh my God, get it. No, they couldn't. Because it wasn't set up to find out the phenomenon. it was set up to be ready for the post-disclosure world. They already know what the phenomenon is, and then the job is how to get the information out, and Sean Kirkpatrick was basically caught in the middle. Yeah, because it was disheartening because I read on CNN,

it was an opinion piece, but it was quoting Kirkpatrick. It was from top to bottom what we saw. It's all human. Sometimes these balloons get away from us, you know, and that was going against everything that we're talking about here. It was another example, and this is, I've seen this repeatedly. Sure. Believe me.

people who have high-level positions, highly skilled, good people, that had high-level positions, high education that's worked in the government, Intel, whatever, national security. And this issue is drawing them out. In other words, we've got to deal with it. And when they get involved, they just don't understand social media. They don't realize, you give one interview and say something stupid. It goes around the world and generates two million tweets.

And they just, you know, Louis Alizano had the same problem. Yeah. He was an undercover guy risking his life in different parts of the country. He wasn't hanging out on Facebook. And so when he gets into the social media world, he found out that that is a different world. And he was very unhappy about that. And so Sean is dealing with that too. All I can say is, hey, it's a Twitter world now.

Deal with it. That's it. And just like that, we could have talked to you for another four hours. We have to do a second show. Yes, part two.
