Groom Lake (29 page)

In the annals of man, as little as a hundred years in the future they may look back upon our understanding of life as primitively as we consider the caveman, due largely to our exponential advancement of technology. Math is a constant factor throughout the universe and our continued development of computers enables us to excel further in the field of mathematics as we also continue to probe deeper into space. In time, the common man will have a far greater comprehension of the universe. But the focus of this book, and your parting thoughts, should not be solely about the future of space travel; this book was designed to enhance conscious thought and open minds on a number of fringe issues. Issues that have been smeared and manipulated in the public eye for decades, prohibiting the positive advancement of our culture in certain technological fields. Additionally, the past tactics have furthered the rift between what was known and what was shared, thus ignoring President Eisenhower’s warning to maintain the proper meshing of industrial and military machinery with America’s peaceful methods and goals.

For decades our leaders have pondered over our secrets, wondering if, when and how they should be disseminated, fearful that releasing the wrong information at the wrong time would jeopardize our sovereignty. But with secrecy comes power, and as fringe technologies evolve so does the accompanying power. Our military advances with helium-3 present scenarios too devastating to remain controlled by so few. While I am confident my past actions to sequester technology would never have jeopardized society, I am an aging man, and soon will not have a say in these matters. Younger, more vigorous individuals will manage the shadows.

In 1835, Alexis de Tocqueville wrote in his treatise,
Democracy in America
, that America’s vigor and not its impotence would probably be the cause of its ultimate destruction. I have always considered de Tocqueville to be a wise man for his ability to anticipate and predict the impact of democracy on the world. Our secrecy has now reached the point of parting from democracy.

In the beginning there was never the intention to form and maintain a shadow government. There were concerned individuals trying their best to comprehend and manage an onslaught of technology in ways that could benefit and protect the country. In some cases the intention was to shelve information and do nothing until such time that it was better understood. Soon this practice became a routine, and thus the secrecy rift and the shadow government was formed. Good intentions with bad implementation and execution. In recent years though, enough individuals in the shadows have come to realize the faults of these practices and wish to see change.

The challenge my associates and I face is meshing our understanding of the fringe with the current status quo in a controlled fashion that is not botched or taken over by special-interest controlled politicians. But how does one go about revealing a secret space program and related fringe sciences? We are planting a new seed with this novel and other mediums that don’t shock people with facts, but make them consider and ponder new ideas. You don’t have to believe the information in this book, but we hope you will at least consider it after turning the last page. See where the journey leads if you Google such topics as helium-3, China’s moon initiative, antigravity, Project Stargate, Majestic 12, and underground military bases. Ponder whether this book is fact disguised as fiction, or fiction portrayed as fact; that is raising the public consciousness, and the first stage in creating a practical meshing between civilians and the shadow government.

All that said, the black programs still exist and continue to develop. If our attempt to enlighten fails, rest assured you certainly will not be an alert and knowledgeable citizenry, and more than ever before, America should beware of the military-industrial complex.
