America is America because it's in a state of perpetual revolution. It
has learned over the years to absorb every extreme into its mainstream
culture. Individuality is praised while slogans like "dare to be
different" are the kudos of its media campaigns. Our Constitution has
allowed us such a luxury. But no massive paradigm shift takes place in
this country until or unless its people assemble in sufficient numbers
in Washington DC. That's liberty and true democracy in action. It was
the case for the civil liberties movement, demanding an end to the
Vietnam war, shutting down nukes, attention for AIDS, all these issues
and causes mobilized millions of people on the Mall to tip the scales in
favor of reason and common sense. But lately there hasn't been any great
catalyst. The Million Man March and the Peacekeepers don't really
count. They were more about style than substance.
We've all been too busy surfing the web and networking online to realize
what we are doing is not working. It's just like being on the phone. So
while we weren't paying close attention, the real world outside
cyberspace just got worse. It's as if America has left the rest of the
world behind in its cultural evolution, and now we're faced with an
international order controlling our politicians and our corporations,
wanting to bring America down because the secrets we keep scare them.
And rightly so…
Strange things are flying in our skies. Rumors of extraordinary
technologies, louder than X-Files fiction, can no longer be brushed off
as wishful thinking. It's come to our realization that what we were
fighting for back in the 60's, 70's & 80's was just the tip of the
iceberg, that military secrets run deeper and darker than we dared
possible. We couldn't or wouldn't admit the truth to ourselves; our
government had run away from us, and created its own parallel universe
to the tune of billions of tax payer dollars, quietly funneled into
black budgets, building underground cities all over the world.
It wouldn't be quite so dramatic if by doing so, the Powers That Be and
the Status Quo weren't perpetuating an oil-based economy damaging the
very air we breathe at the expense of all life on earth. Ever since
Earth Day 1970 the environmental movement has been up against a foe, an
enemy, an obstacle, call it what you will, which we've never been able
to identify. A resistance running deep as an undercurrent against
change, which to all should have simply been self-evident. But there was
more to it than met the eye. Not only did the financial temptation of
keeping the old machinery oiled and running have the upper hand, but a
quasi-religious attachment to post-industrial philosophy has prevented
serious change at the root base of the problem. It's even visible in the
lore of so-called "free energy" or "new energy" advocates who see in a
turn-of-the-century hero like Nikola Tesla a future that never was
instead of a possible one. They celebrate his forgotten inventions
instead of following the money and paper trail that could lead to where
they might be today.
Over 10.000 scientific documents are classified every day. It would come
to no surprise for most of us to know that since all these technologies
are kept under wraps for their destructiveness, along with them
disappear their beneficial potential. It's not far fetched to wonder if
a great part of our environmental, or medical problems, didn't already
have their solutions built into those problems before they were so
methodically suppressed. It is to that end that the entire National
Security Act has come into scrutiny by some members of the House and
Senate under the leadership of Senator Moynihan.
The Rally To End Secrecy was already in the works when his work came to
light. The rally plans are an offshoot from the March For Peaceful
Energy that was held last year on the steps of the Capitol Building on
October 24th 1998. We want to bring national attention to the fact that
secrecy has gotten out of hand and needs to be not only curtailed, but
also completely reassessed. In the past, a timid attempt at a rally to
end UFO secrecy held in DC was foiled by low turnout. The 50th
anniversary celebration at Roswell degenerated into a carnival, thanks
to spoilers from the intelligence community who wants to preserve the
zany aspect of the UFO community intact. It is after all the perfect
cover for testing experimental aircraft.
This is why we are asking you, in the alternative media community, who
frequently address issues such as these, to promote, publicize and
assist us in building momentum for this event, so that once and for all,
those who have kept us in the dark can be made accountable for their
motives.
