The Secret Government
On Independence Day weekend in 1947 an
event occurred that would change the course of history. That
single incident resulted in the founding of the National
Security State, an explosion of technological advancement, the
establishment of what amounts to a world government and the
virtual death of democracy in the United States.
That event was the crash-landing of two
extraterrestrial spacecraft near to the Army Air Force base in
Roswell, New Mexico, the home of the 509th Bomb Group. At the
time the 509th was the only nuclear-armed squadron on the
planet. It was they who dropped the A-bombs on Hiroshima and
Nagasaki to bring about the end of the Second World War.
As a result of this discovery a secret
group known as MJ-12 was brought into being to control the
situation. President Harry Truman, who was also the founder of
the National Security State, created MJ-12. The public, it was
decided, could not be told.
The National Security State moved power
away from Congress, the elected representatives of the people,
and secured it within the hands of an unelected elite. This
elite still governs today though their very existence and the
power that they wield remains a closely guarded secret.
The US Government has, for years, denied
the existence of UFOs and sought to bury any evidence of a
crash at Roswell. But, as will be shown, their own
investigation into the subject, kept hidden from the public,
reveals the reality of the situation. And from that reality
everything else emanated.
The question is: How did this happen?
Introduction
On July 6th 1947, Mac Brazel drove the
seventy-odd miles from the ranch he managed into the town of
Roswell, New Mexico. He reported to Sheriff George Wilcox a
discovery he had made, fields covered in some mysterious
debris. Wilcox then reported this to the Roswell Army Air Force
base, as was customary, and from there Major Jesse Marcel, the
base intelligence officer, and a Counter-Intelligence Corps
officer named Sheriden Cavitt, journeyed out to the Foster
ranch to inspect this wreckage. It was unlike anything either
man had ever seen and the repercussions are still with us
today.
Academics are curiously reluctant to
address the issue of UFOs and extraterrestrial visitation as a
serious subject. This is possibly due to the fear of ridicule
from their peers but it has not prevented some notable PhD
theses being written on the matter [1]. That UFOs exist can
hardly be in doubt. The proof of this can be found in the
declassified Top Secret Wilbert B. Smith memo dated November
21, 1950. Smith worked for the Canadian Government on
communications and, through the Canadian embassy in Washington,
DC, obtained classified documentation. He writes of this in the
memo, stating categorically:
a. The matter [UFOs] is the most highly
classified subject in the United States Government, rating
higher even than the H-bomb.
b. Flying saucers exist.
c. Their modus operandi is unknown but
concentrated effort is being made by a small group headed by
Doctor Vannevar Bush.
d. The entire matter is considered by the
United States authorities to be of tremendous significance. [2]
This document was accidentally
declassified by the Canadian Government over 30 years ago. The
group headed by Vannevar Bush alluded to was Majestic-12 and
will be looked at more closely in Chapter Two. Nonetheless, the
document from a respected Canadian Government official has
never been considered a hoax or forgery. The US Government
clearly took the UFO question deadly seriously.
The only question is: Do some of these
UFOs have extraterrestrial origins? This dissertation will not
address the legitimacy or otherwise of claims for the existence
of UFOs, it takes that proposition as read. Rather, the subject
matter here is the aftermath of the Roswell crash or crashes
and the effect they had on the issue of National Security.
Something crashed to Earth in the New
Mexico desert in 1947, that much is certain. What followed only
makes sense if it was either one or two UFOs. While the US
Government has laboured hard to bury and/or cover-up this
reality, if we are to make sense of both the overt and covert
practices of every administration since then an acceptance of
this reality becomes a necessity.
Given the restrictions imposed on this
dissertation and the nature of the material, it will not be
possible to examine the security set-up within the United
States in great detail. Instead, a few chosen aspects of the
same will be examined to enable us to better grasp how the
Roswell incident affected and served to create an unaccountable
ruling elite.
But first we must establish what happened
at Roswell, its aftermath, and how this influenced the creation
of the National Security State.

Chapter One
The Roswell Incident
How two separate UFOs came to be brought
down near the Roswell Army Air Force base in the summer of 1947
remains a mystery. Nonetheless, once Mac Brazel had informed
the authorities of the event and Marcel and Cavitt had verified
his story, a massive operation was launched to recover the
debris.
Shortly thereafter, Colonel William
Blanchard, base commander of Roswell AAF, instructed the base
public information officer, Lieutenant Walter Haut, to issue a
press release on the, at that stage, one recovered disc. The
local paper, the Roswell Daily Record carried the news on its
front page under the headline: 'RAAF Captures Flying Saucer On
Ranch in Roswell Region'.
The teletypes picked up this story and
soon the editor was besieged by enquiries from all over the
world. The wreckage, meanwhile, was flown to Wright-Patterson
Air Force Base via Fort Worth, Texas, under the supervision of
Marcel. Once the plane had arrived at Fort Worth, the
commander, General Roger Ramey, Blanchard's immediate superior,
began the cover-up operation that has continued to this day.
Firstly, Marcel was ordered to tell the
assembled press that what had in fact been recovered was not a
UFO, as originally believed, but merely a weather balloon.
Marcel was photographed displaying such wreckage at Fort Worth
and the story quietly died as quickly as it had appeared.
Thirty years later, however, nuclear
physicist and UFO researcher Stanton T. Friedman was introduced
to Marcel by a mutual acquaintance and the true story at last
began to come out. The book he eventually wrote with fellow UFO
researcher Don Berliner, 'Crash At Corona', was a catalogue of
extensive research and interviews with hundreds of first-hand
witnesses to the incident. The furore that this kicked up was
brought to the attention of New Mexico Congressman Steven
Schiff who asked the Defense Department for an explanation.
Fobbed off there he sought redress at the hands of the General
Accounting Office, who began their own investigation. continue
