Book Review: Richard Dolan's UFOs & The National Security State, The Cover-Up Exposed 1973-1991
Not only were strange lights being seen, but some people actually experienced 'abductions'. That is, they were taken from their homes against their will, mostly in the middle of the night. Their families seemingly 'switched off', time stands still and beings, some the classic grays, some dwarfs, others humanoid - escort the individual aboard a UFO, sometimes they're taken underground, most given physical exams of some sort, and then returned - often with little or no conscious memory of the experience.
Dolan goes even further, he painstakingly covers any and all facets of the UFO phenomenon and the government's response. His first book covers the years 1941 to 1973. He covers the origin of the phenomenon as it is understood in modern times, where UFOlogy began and how. Who began asking questions - what the responses were, and he tracks the careful, cryptic responses by members of the establishment. He shows how officialdom discounted the phenomenon with one hand and secretly investigated it with the other. Project Blue Book and the Condon Committee are covered and used to set the standard of denial. These very public, very early 'official' investigations bear the same hallmarks that tainted the Warren Commission and the 9-11 committee. For instance both had direct connections to intelligence agencies, both ignored evidence which was indicative of anything extraordinary occurring, and both served as tools in the mainstream media to discount, silence, and ridicule anyone who refused to buy the 'official' explanations.
His second work covers the following two decades, from 1973 to 1991. In it there are a myriad of accounts of UFOs and their interactions with airplanes, military bases, family's and individuals. Crashed UFO retrieval and reverse engineering are discussed in depth. Anecdotal evidence is given from many who claim insider status, and the stories are so fantastic and yet corroborated by circumstantial evidence that their truth seems plausible. He shows how powerful people, well connected via the Council on Foreign Relations, or the Bilderberg Group, Freemasonry or some combination, are often involved in the conspiracy.
Incase you are unfamiliar with these groups I'll quote Dolan's work:
The CFR, founded in 1921, is generally considered to be the msot powerful private organization to influence US foreign policy. Founded by Elihu Root (the attorney for J.P. Morgan), it has represented the wealthiest and most powerful interests in the US. Indeed, the presence of the Rockefeller family has been the most important feature of the organization's history. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. was a major benefactor. The Rockefeller Brothers Fund provided major funding for decades. David Rockefeller joined the Council as its youngest-ever director in 1949 and was chairman of the board from 1970-1985...
The CFR describes itself as "an American nonpartisan foreign policy membership organisation," with the mission of "promoting understanding of foreign policy and the United States' role in the world." Journalist Joseph Kraft, a former CFR member, more accurately described it as coming "close to being an organ of what C. Wright Mills has called the Power Elite - a group of men, similar in interest and outlook, shaping events from invulnerable positions behind the scenes." CFR members have dominated every president administration since the days of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whether republican or democrat.
The main thrust of all CFR policies is the promotion of a stable international order under a single governing body. Whether one calls it conspiracy or not, calling it a form of "world government" is fair enough. Prominent CFR members have often stated the matter openly...
The Bilderbergers are an international and more powerful version of the CFR, again dominated by David Rockefeller, but also with major influence by members of European royal families and the Rothschilde banking dynasty. Its first meeting was in 1954 at the Bilderberg Hotel in the Netherlands (hence the group's name), and was said to be founded by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, a man with prior connections to the Nazis and a major figure in Shell Oil...
The Bilderberg Group is managed by a small nucleus, made up of a European Chairman, a European and American Secretary General, and a Treasurer. They invite only those with "special knowledge, personal contacts and influence in national and international circles, [who] can amplify the objectives and resources of the Bilderberg Group." If by "resources" one can assume "money," then the Bilderbergers actively seek to increase their own wealth by influencing major geopolitical events and trends...
The annual Bilderberg meetings are notorious for their absolute secrey. Media coverage is absolutely off-limits, despite the regular attendance of important journalists (as participants). The gathering of 150 of arguably the world's most influential people is easily of equal or greater importance than a G-20 summit. Although it would be inconceivable for the G-20 to convene without any press coverage, the Bilderbergers have avoided it for more then half a century.
We can see that it's obvious that the media can and has been manipulated before the time of the television, and always for the purposes of maintaining the position and wealth of the power-elite. This becomes an important theme because as Dolan continues throughout his work we see a very familiar pattern - incredible sightings, discussion and attempts at scientific analysis followed by an 'official explanation'. These are often well crafted, they are plausible and thus believed by many who have not taken the time to do their own research. However, to those that have, or are directly involved in investigations themselves, they are holier then swiss cheese and thus never accord with all the facts.
Simply put, every time an 'official explanation' is put forth it is always the most cunning of lies. It may incorporate some of the data, but never all of it. In proper science, when a hypothesis cannot account for all the data it must be discarded because it is false. If only half the data fits then it cannot be 'true' and so new explanation must be sought. Dolan's work details how several well placed people; often in major magazines, like Discover or newspapers, like the New York Times, are utilized in order to propagate these lies and thus 'cover-up the facts'. Dolan explains:
If this was an instances of collaboration between American media and government, it would simply fit the longstanding pattern of American media compliance with the interests of national security. For example, in December 1984, the launch of a US military satellite was voluntarily censored by the Associated Press after Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberger asked them not to report it; NBC followed suit. During this time, also, AP choked stories about cocaine trafficking by the infamous Nicaraguan Contras, and New York Times correspondent Raymond Bonner was pulled from Central America for investigating the El Salvadorian death squads.
It's not a far stretch to assume that these same media moguls would kill any stories that demonstrate there is an alien or advanced civilization among us with technology so far advanced that they can abduct individuals form their homes at night, stun or disable us, disarm our most advanced weaponry, appear and disappear at will from our presence, especially if some of these beings had sinister intentions toward humanity. I mention these abilities specifically because Dolan gives accounts of those exact things happening not once or twice, but consistently, in different places all over the globe. There's even government documents that discuss same.
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed reading his books, especially this second one. As I was born during the period under analysis it's amazing to study recent history which was so thoroughly hidden from me as a youngster that I had no clue it existed. I always 'believed' in 'aliens', mostly because the stories were so pervasive, so fantastic, however, Dolan's work has thoroughly destroyed any vestiges of belief I may have held and replaced it with fact after fact after fact. I no longer believe, I know.
