Calling James O’Keefe? Scientist Declares UFO Cover-Up A “Cosmic Watergate”
Add this to the list of useful things James O’Keefe and his national investigative team could be occupying themselves with now that he has succeeded in shutting down ACORN. AOL has a nice, diversionary piece on Stanton Friedman, a well-respected nuclear physicist has gone on the record saying that he believes there is a cosmic Watergate going on. Short version: there are aliens out there is a conspiracy to keep this quiet.
“After 53 years of investigation, I’m convinced we’re dealing here with a cosmic Watergate,” he told AOL News. “That means a few people within major governments have known since at least 1947 that some UFOs are alien spacecraft.”
No, seriously. Before you write this guy off completely AOL notes he has been “employed for 14 years as a nuclear physicist for companies like General Electric, General Motors, Westinghouse and Aerojet General Nucleonics, he worked on highly classified programs involving nuclear aircraft, fission and fusion rockets.” So there’s that. But who’s covering up and why?
He’s especially irked by the attitude of scientists who use radio and optical telescopes in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, such as the SETI Institute in California.
“Their livelihood depends on the assumption that there’s nobody coming here, and if we just wait long enough, we’re going to pick up the signal and it’ll be the greatest discovery in man’s history, and it will help solve all our problems….”Because they’d have to admit that they’d ignored such a big story for so long and that they were wrong,” Friedman said. “Being wrong is something that scientists don’t like to admit at all.”
The other reason it is being kept secret? Nationalism: “I don’t know of any government on this planet that wants its citizens to owe their primary allegiance to the planet. Nationalism is the only game in town.”
The question of whether there is alien life seems extra-pressing these days. Earlier this year famed scientist Stephen Hawking warned against being too friendly with aliens once they arrive. Watch Friedman below.
