FYI: Steven Greer Published in World Affairs Journal
Dr. Steven Greer, the former emergency room physician who has been leading the "Disclosure Project" has had an article entitled, "The Unacknowledged Threat: Secret and Covert Operations By the USA."

Here's the link to World Affairs.

http://www.worldaffairsjournal.com/article1.htm

"Since the end of the Second World War, the US military industrial complex has secretly sponsored at great public cost the R&D of new technologies for energy generation, air and outer space flight, futuristic weaponry and other mostly military ends, which have not been made available for the common good. Yet today’s environmental and economic emergencies dictate that the accumulated know-how be used for the benefit of mankind in its peaceful applications"

1. This part shows how deep the dirt and dead the democracy is
in the good ole USA.

In short, so ruthless and unrelenting has been the secrecy associated with these issues that no institution or leader to date has been willing to take the matter on. Indeed, after we met with CIA Director James Woolsey in December 1993 and recommended that President Clinton take direct executive action to end the secrecy and facilitate a disclosure, we saw first hand how great the fear was. A friend of the president visited us after this meeting and informed us that it was felt that the president would “end up like John Kennedy if he did what we suggested.” Of course, we initially burst into laughter, until we were stopped and informed that such concerns were real. We were stunned. Until then, we had relegated such concerns to the dustbin of conspiracy theories. But it appears that the fear and ruthless control exercised by these projects around the world has effectively kept the matter off the public radar screen. In our view, the propagation of such fear as a tool for control is a genuine form of international terrorism. Its effects are devastating: it has neutralised democratic processes and institutions, engendered paralysing fear, hijacked the future of humanity, impoverished billions of people and decimated the earthly environment in the span of one human lifetime. Indeed, the harmful effects of such rogue secrecy exceed by orders of magnitude the consequences of any terrorist organisation operating today.

Subsequent meetings with members of Congress and other high officials resulted in enormous concern — even consternation — but no action. We repeatedly heard that many in senior positions were concerned with such unsanctioned secrecy, but these officials would simply pass the buck to others, saying “Why don’t you meet with so and so on another committee and get him to hold a hearing?”

2. Dr Vannevar Bush.
why does this story remind me of Buckaroo Banzai?

Oh yeah, it's the funny names, as if an alien is writing the script.

That's why we are ruled by a Dick, a Bush, a Colon and a Cunny.

Life is too surreal. I actually believe the theory encapsulated here is possibly true.

Here are more links (not very reliable ones)
