I have a question which is probably going to sound stupid but I really am beyond curious.
If these do exist and more and more I believe they not only exist but have most likely been here. But why isn't general population allowed the disclosure? I just don't buy into the whole mass panic theory. The way I see it is, if the TPTB would give disclosure in all reality they could use it to tighten their grip on the world. It could be spun so easily to make people believe that they are dangerous and it's only by government's protection that we'll survive them. I could be way off base but any thoughts on this?

Until the targeted audience of these things is NOT the ufology believer then they will remain a useless joke, see if they were targeting the public, trying to get rational public support, they would weed out all the nonsense (and anything that sounded goofy, true or not). But they, through their own admission, actively seek out the nutter crowd by putting nutters on stage.

Here is my belief on the matter:
I believe that as a species we are under a "quarantine" so to speak.
Let me ask you this question, is it better to rely on being saved, or to rely on being able to save yourself?
They have probly shown us how to generate clean and safe power that is "free", and i am glad that they keep this underwraps. If you could generate unlimited "free" power, that could be turned into a terrible weapon.
Humanity is not ready for that yet. I believe there are many people who are ready, but unfortunately there's a lot that aren't.
Also, i think human are too smart to fall for the aliens attacking us plan. If they were malicious or wanted us dead, We would be DEAD already.
I believe that the plan MAY be used or forced onto us through the use of false flags IF, we cannot form some form of world unity, as a last resort play.
so this is what i think- In order for us to be allowed to become a space faring civilization, we have to have some form of global unity or governance. and this is a decree passed down to us from a more advanced civilization. i would say we would probly also have to learn how to live in stability with our planet before being allowed to colonize others.
I would also like to say that i think our biggest obstacle to becoming a galactic civilization is not EVIL, but Ignorance. what do you think?

But can you give an example of how someone or some group could "weed out the nonsense?"
