I have learned that we need to operate on multiple tracks of consciousness at once. It's like how dolphins operate ~ they can be "asleep," but part of their brain is also awake. This is scientifically proven. They are operating on multiple levels and dimensions at once. Well, humans can do this, too. During this period, I would go to sleep - but there would be a part of me that would awaken. For example, right after President Clinton got elected in late '92, I was with him on an astral level at the Governor's Mansion in Little Rock, Arkansas, discussing this knowledge - and this continued through his presidency. Meetings would happen on an astral level and sharing would take place. Years later, a good friend of President Clinton said that he was very much in touch with that inner spiritual level and could meet that way I have done this routinely with people for many years. If we go beyond our own egos and fear and prejudices, we can do this and reach people spiritu- ally.
Now, it doesn't mean that those whom we reach ~ whether in a face-to-face, physical meeting or through these other, non-local applications of consciousness ~ are going to necessarily respond favorably. In the case of Bill Clinton, he very much wanted to see this happen but did- n't have the courage to do it. His legacy was basically lost, because it was his responsibility, as the first full-term president after the close of the Cold War era, to have done this. He didn't rise to the challenge. About the time that I was going to let it be known that I had had these meetings with the CIA director, after he had left office — I think he was there till '95 ~ I was visiting friends in Santa Barbara. I was being interviewed by a major New York paper, and they were going to run the story about our briefings for the White House and CIA Director on UFOs. The very day they were going to run that story, Linda Tripp emerged with her stories about Monica Lewinsky. That was not an accident or a coincidence. It knocked all this off the radar screen of the media. And for the next couple of years, it was 24 hours a day, seven days a week: the blow job heard round the world! What utter nonsense!
News flash: The best aphrodisiac is power. And powerful men have affairs. And guess what? Married men who have affairs sometimes lie about them. Gee whiz. An impeachment proceeding based on this? Give me a break. Hilary Clinton was right when she said there was a conspiracy to assassinate Bill Clinton by character assassination instead of with a bullet. She was absolutely correct - and it was over this and related issues.
By the mid-'90s, I concluded that the President of the United States was not going to deal with the UFO problem and that, if he looked into it much further, it would be the end of his presidency.
It was around this time that I met a good friend of President Carter who told me that Carter, in his early days as President and during the transition into his presidency, tried to find out about the entire covert UFO matter. Carter had a UFO sighting in Georgia when he was governor, and we have his official report. So Carter tried to get a briefing from then-CIA Director George Bush - the current President's father — but Bush told him he would not give him that information and he should get it elsewhere! Later, as Carter pushed further on this, he was visited by "a suit," who said, "Sir, if you would like to complete your first term as President, you will keep your God-damned mouth shut about this UFO matter." This insider and friend of Carter's told me that he - and per- haps his family- were directly threatened.
We learned from separate sources, including some Disclosure Project witnesses, that Jimmy Carter wanted to do a White House study on UFOs and that it was going to be done through SRI (Stanford Research Institute). Pentagon covert projects then told SRI that they would pull all of their contracts supporting SRI if they were to proceed with the Carter White House request to look into UFOs. So the study idea was buried. This is just part of a long pattern, going back to at least Eisenhower, of United States Presidents being threatened — and in the case of Jack Kennedy, being assassinated. Others have had their entire lives and presidency threatened if they push this issue. So this is the mother of all cos- mic buzz saws that I walked into between 1992 and now.
Bill Clinton didn't have the courage to do it. But I believe, quite frankly, he could have. Doesn't our public expect our leaders to be willing to go the distance regardless of their own personal ambition or their own personal safety? Most politicians are not courageous. We have a weak and spineless ruling class that is intoxicated on money, power, and selfish ambition. So even when they find out about these issues, they don't have the backbone and stamina to do the right thing on behalf of the Earth, the Earth's people, or even the citizens of the United States.
Between 1994 and 1997, as we continued to work the system, I decided it was very important to reach out to the legislative bodies of the world. If the President, as a single person, was too terrified, and too threatened to act, and his inner circle was being denied access to information, then the next best venue was Congress. So many senior White House officials were being denied access that it was clear only an open hearing in Congress could change things officially.
Regarding other senior officials being blocked: Astronaut Gordon Cooper personally told me that Secretary of Defense Cohen had learned of Gordon Cooper's team filming a landed UFO at a dry lake bed at Edwards Air Force base in the 1950s. Cohen tried to get access to that information but was denied access. Cohen knew the dates and details of the landing and filming - and yet Cohen could not gain access to the film or the records!
So, we met with a number of members of Congress, including a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Senator Dick Bryan, of Nevada -- home to Area 51 -- and others who were in key positions. As we networked, we found we could meet privately with a number of key Congressmen. We presented the evidence and asked them: "Please sponsor open hearings at which these top -secret witnesses can testify before a committee of Congress with the world news media present."
What I found in almost every case is that they all wanted to know, but they didn't want to act. I'll never forget being picked up by one of these little golf cart type vehicles at McCarran Airport in Las Vegas. I flew in just for a few hours to meet with Senator Bryan of Nevada during the mid '90s. We arrived at what looked like a janitor's closet with a nondescript door -- when you opened it, you entered a beautiful conference room! It was used for these types of VIP meetings at the airport. I was escorted into the room, and then the Senator came in. We spent about an hour together.
Senator Bryan had an aide with him who sat on the couch. The Senator and I and my escort were at the conference table. I don't believe the aide at first understood what the meeting was about! The Senator asked, "Well, who have you met with to-date?" and I said, "The CIA Director and this person at the Joint Staff, and . . . ." I saw the aide drop the paper he was nonchalantly reading! He looked like someone had punched him.
As the briefing proceeded, Senator Bryan said he had no doubt these matters
were real and ongoing, but that he had never been allowed access to that information. This, from the mouth of a senior member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence! I then said, "You know, we desperately need for someone like you to hold open hearings on this subject, much as Gerald Ford had in the late '60s..."
