"Our Republic and its press will rise or fall together. An able, disinterested, public-spirited press, with trained intelligence to know the right and courage to do it, can preserve that public virtue without which popular government is a sham and a mockery. A cynical, mercenary, demagogic press will produce in time a people as base as itself. The power to mould the future of the Republic will be in the hands of the journalists of future generations."   Joseph Pulitzer

Nothing Last Forever. Not even Truth Embargoes
Over the past 25 years I have sent tens of thousands of emails to national and international media drawing their attention to the following:

  1. there is non-human piloted and/or controlled technology engaging our world (extraterrestrial presence),
  2. this presence and a host of related phenomena have enormous implications for the human race,
  3. the U.S. Government has known of this presence since no later than 1947,
  4. the U.S. Government with direct compliance from its allies and indirect compliance from it adversaries embargoed this profound information from its citizens in service to national security (Truth Embargo),
  5. the Truth Embargo is no longer appropriate policy and is now a threat to national security,
  6. nothing lasts forever and the Truth Embargo will end with or without the level of investigative journalism they continue to withhold.

I am hardly alone in conveying this message to the reporters, editors, publishers, producers and news network owners who know full well the role they play in society and the import of the message conveyed in the quote atop this media release.

Their job is to pay attention, connect the dots and serve the public's right to know - not the government's right to deceive.

The Truth Embargo is going to end whether or not they do their job. Those who continue to stand down will spend the rest of their careers answering two questions: when did you know the truth of this matter and why did you fail us?

Below is an example of three articles (dots) they might connect. The connections are subtle and complex, but when made demonstrate why the Truth Embargo can no longer stand. Then it's a matter of deciding whether they care enough to do the investigative journalism this issue has always demanded and they have denied.
