A.D. After Disclosure: When the Government Finally Reveals the Truth About Alien Contact (14 page)

It takes two sides to make an argument, however. One member supporting Disclosure now stands.

Facing his debate opponent, he states firmly, “First of all, the hype over the Wells radio broadcast has been overblown for years.” Most people who listened in did not panic, and those who did lived in a much less sophisticated time. Besides, that broadcast was about an attack, accompanied by death rays and destruction. If there is any attack going on today, it’s a silent one, and public reactions will be much more modulated.

Secondly, he continues, despite what you claim, the public
does
have a right to know, no matter what the truth is, at least with the passage of sufficient time and on issues that are large enough. We are talking about a planetary issue that has to be dealt with by bringing in the talents and experience of the entire population, not just an elite few.

Moreover, he continues, the initial reason for the cover-up has long passed. The Cold War is over. We’ve had enough time to assess and prepare the public. We know a great deal about who the Others are and what they want. And the signs point to the likelihood that the public will be able to assimilate this information and deal with it.

Finally, the world has too many problems to ignore this any longer. We can finally unleash the technology that has been developed in secret throughout the past seven decades for the betterment of humankind. Why not?

Just before taking his seat, he recalls a statement made by the famous Swiss psychologist Dr. Carl Jung. During the 1950s, Jung had made a thorough study of UFOs. Despite being portrayed by skeptics as dismissing UFOs as psychological in origin, Jung believed there was something important to the phenomenon. A quick search on his tablet retrieved the quote he was thinking of:

What astonishes me most is that the American Air Force, despite all the information in its possession and its so-called fear of creating panic, seems to work systematically to do that very thing since it has never yet published an authentic and certain account of the facts…this is the most unpsychological and stupid policy one could invent. It is self-evident that the public ought to be told the truth, because ultimately it will, nevertheless, come to light.

“It will nevertheless come to light,” the pro-Disclosure advocate repeats and takes his seat.

The question on the minds of everyone at the table on this fateful day is whether or not this is the moment when Jung can say “I told you so.”

What It Will Take

What will it take to create a condition where all the secret keepers can do is simply to get it over with?

Considering that seven decades of secrecy have given them no incentive for changing the status quo, the answer can only be something so public and so undeniable that the decision has been taken out of their hands. Ex-officio Disclosure must be in progress, based on some event that is causing the exponential growth in the numbers of people who understand that UFOs are real. Under those conditions, the Breakaway Group’s only real choice will be to manage the revelation the best they can.

That is the moment when the impossible act of Disclosure becomes inevitable. Not because the men and women managing the secret have decided to release it, but because they will have seen their own credibility plummet until their only option is change. When that becomes the sole alternative, we will finally have Disclosure, and a not a minute sooner.

There are several avenues by which the truth will be placed so boldly in front of us that we will have to pay attention. We have considered them carefully, talked to other researchers, and even consulted our potential readers through private polling. Taking it all into consideration, we believe the road to Disclosure could begin with one of the following triggers which have been ranked from least likely to most likely. They are:

Photographic evidence.

Investigative journalism.

Whistleblowers and leaks.

Public confessions.

Physical evidence.

Foreign declassifications and public statements.

Political instability.

A heavily-documented mass sighting.
