A.D. After Disclosure: When the Government Finally Reveals the Truth About Alien Contact (33 page)

The upside will be the advent of many young political science scholars who will dedicate themselves to understanding and dissecting the true structure of power in our world. They will take no prisoners in this endeavor to understand the criminal nature of so much of contemporary governance.

Economics

Although traders, industrialists, and entrepreneurs work to keep the economic engine of the global economy running, the academicians will watch them, studying how the economy has been hit hard in the short-term, and deep in the long-term. The numbers comparing life before and after Disclosure will be an unending source of reports, papers, and dissertations.

Of greater significance will be the new field of black budget economics. Consider Deep Throat’s advice to Watergate reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein to “follow the money,” then consider economists applying this advice to the entire UFO cover-up. At one conference after another, economic scholars will discuss and analyze how it was possible to siphon away billions upon billions of dollars in public and illegal funds.

Entire careers will be devoted to this pursuit. Scholars will be forced to realize that not all of the black budget monies derived solely from tax dollars. Sophisticated studies will be published detailing the relationship between intelligence communities and such illegal activities as drug trafficking and financial fraud.

Psychology

The study of the human mind will need to keep pace with the emerging facts. After the requisite soul searching and recriminations about how the psychological community dropped the ball regarding potentially millions of abduction victims, allowing them to believe that they were victims of some form of mental defect, the field will be primed for a rejuvenation.

One area of concern will be the field of human memory. How, for instance, has it been possible to manage human memory in the aftermath of the abduction experience? True, many memories leaked through after the experience, but most did so incompletely, and so many never did until many years had passed. This is an area in which the classified literature is undoubtedly vastly ahead of the “topsiders.”

There will also be a resurgence in the study of the phenomenon of social control. What is it about the human brain that enabled billions of human beings, from the slow-witted to the brilliant, to become duped by a propaganda system of UFO denial? Why could they not see that the Emperor was, indeed, wearing nothing at all?

At the same time, the ongoing adjustment to the reality of Disclosure should spawn study after study trying to make sense of how people coped with the initial shock, and then the transition going forward. College courses will be constructed around the Great Panic of Year One, focusing on the human desire A.D. to hoard all manner of items for reasons that were unclear even to the hoarders.

The great prize for psychologists will come when enough information becomes available to begin comparative psychological studies of humans and the Others. Presumably, at some point, they will have access to information about how these Others think and live. When they do, we will inevitably learn new truths about the nature of ourselves.

Anthropology

The study of comparative human cultures has long been relegated to the sidelines of the liberal arts, but will be energized by the emergence of “exoanthropology.” No longer forced to focus solely on the possibilities of what it means to be human, anthropologists, similar to psychologists, will be looking at the human being by way of comparison with the Others. As in the field of psychology, many new insights will emerge about such things as human social interactions, organization, hierarchy, aggression, and collaboration.

There is probably much that the men and women who have been working secretly for the Breakaway Group already know about the Others. Much of this may be integrated into the academic environment, facilitated and controlled to a large extent by these hidden scientists. This will be an area of great sensitivity, and black-world scientists will not readily participate. When they do, their sources of information will be scrutinized carefully. This topic is important, as governments around the world will want accurate information on the Others. If there are multiple groups of Others, trying to define the hows and whys of their own interactions may be critical to our own survival.

Archeology

For years, establishment archeology has ignored evidence of advanced technology in the remnants of ancient cultures. The construction and features of the Great Pyramid of Giza, Peru’s plains of Nazca, Stonehenge, the famous Central American crystal skulls, and many more anomalies have been excluded from the debate in modern archeology. Professional archeologists do not deny these artifacts; they merely explain them as fundamentally conventional (as in the case of the Pyramid, Stonehenge, and Nazca) or declare them as of unproven authenticity (as with the crystal skulls).

Scientists who are quietly interested in these matters can hardly expect to publish papers about them. Orthodoxy, not diversity, rules this field. Dispute the dominant theories, and you fail to get published. Failure to get published translates into a loss of funding, credibility, and ultimately one’s livelihood.

Once the existence of the Others has been acknowledged, the game changes. Suddenly, what is now dismissed as “forbidden archeology” becomes mainstream, even cutting-edge. Undoubtedly, some of the alleged evidence of alien intervention will turn out to be dead ends, but will all of it? It will be the job of archeologists worldwide, most of whom work in universities, to sort out what is true and what is not.

Disclosure of the truth about the presence of Others on planet Earth will hit archeology like a 9-plus Richter magnitude earthquake. It will open that field up to a fresh analysis of the ancient origins of the human race. One in which we may discover—and begin to fill—a gaping hole in our ancient history.

Literature, Philosophy, and the Arts

Although clearly distinct from each other, philosophy and literature are both essentially studies in human wisdom. Philosophy, after all, means “love of wisdom,” and there is no question that the world’s great literature is fundamentally about reaching deeper levels of wisdom regarding humankind’s place in the universe.

Disclosure will shake the academic communities of these disciplines, forcing its members to confront the often meaningless and irrelevant discussions to which so much contemporary literary criticism and academic philosophical analysis has now devolved. There is nothing like the shock of such a life-changing event as Disclosure to force one to start looking at the big picture in one’s life and realize how much time one has wasted.

What will be left for these disciplines are their foundations, which are based on some of the deepest reflections that human beings have ever made about themselves and the universe. When confronting the reality of another species that may pose a substantial threat to one’s ego, if not one’s very existence, what humanity will need is inspiration. People will need strengthening of the spirit. They will need the example of the best that our species has offered, and this is readily available through the great books of our civilization.

We will rediscover the power, solace, inspiration, and spur to greatness bequeathed to us by such writers as Tolstoy, Goethe, Shakespeare,
Milton, Yeats, Marcus Aurelius, and countless others. The same holds for the tradition of fine arts and music, including such geniuses as Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, or within the great tradition of jazz, or the exquisite traditions of music from the Indian subcontinent, of China, of the Near East and Africa. Then there is the human artistic tradition, too overwhelming to summarize. Our species has been nothing if not continually inventive in the fine arts, finding new ways of expressing who we are, what we are, and where we are in the cosmos.

Do the Others have philosophy? Literature? If they do, what are these like? What do they think of our contributions? It is mind-expanding simply to consider the topic.

Our past writers, philosophers, musicians, and artists have given us perhaps the greatest gift for life A.D. They are reminders of who we are. And of the inherent greatness and divinity that resides within the human being. Thus, the great souls of the past will be rediscovered. They will be needed to support and inspire those of us living in the most demanding period imaginable.

Those thinkers and artists will also inspire the greatest outpouring of deep reflection and profundity of the human condition yet achieved. On the shoulder of giants will stand those, After Disclosure, who will see farther, clearer.

Popular Culture

Some people do not read Shakespeare or listen to Mozart. They swim in the waters of popular culture, a milieu encompassing movie stars in drug rehab, artists organizing charity concerts, and every new film, song, and artist arriving on the scene. All of that will be affected, changed, and re-formed by Disclosure in ways about which we can only speculate, because pop culture always arises from the moment in unpredictable manifestations.

After Disclosure, humanity will experience a cultural explosion that will rival or surpass the Renaissance. The revelation that we are not alone will supercharge the Zeitgeist. Artists the world over will need to express
themselves on this subject, to interpret it for their audiences. Painters will turn to their canvasses, writers will struggle to tell the story in new ways, and even comedians will find fresh new jokes.

From Twitter to Facebook to YouTube, the Internet will be ablaze. The numbers of Websites spawned by Disclosure will dwarf anything before. People will need to communicate their feelings and discuss their fears, and therefore the social networks will vibrate with activity.

Reliably, if it happens within the next decade, Bruce Springsteen will have a new song about it, and it will be the most downloaded song on iTunes. Old protest songs may be dusted off, given new lyrics, and find a second life.

Almost certainly, too, there will be a revival in the use of hallucinogenic drugs. After Disclosure, users of such drugs will try to “break on through to the other side,” in this case, the other side being a place where they will claim to find the other entities inhabiting our world. Whether the drugs are psychedelic standbys such as LSD, or mescaline or emerging ones like Salvia Divinorum, Ayahuasca, Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), or something newly developed in a laboratory, one or more will be embraced for the counter-culture’s new vision-quest. The idea of the party drug scene will shrink back, and the idea of seeking enlightenment through drugs will be in favor again.

Meanwhile, the media will never be as happy as it will be AD. Even seemingly distant relatives of the news, such as
Entertainment Tonight
, will find their own spin. Everything that affects the world, like 9/11 or the Arab Spring, also affects celebrities. News will want to cover how the rich and famous are handling Disclosure, because the celebrities will act as surrogates for the audience. If they admit to being scared, the audience will know that “it’s okay” for them to feel the same way. This will translate to red-carpet interviews where celebrities wear gray ribbons and talk earnestly about reaching out in peace to the Others.

An entirely new form of celebrity will be created. From among those who have had some form of abduction or contact experience with the Others, a few of them will be famous or modestly famous for one reason
or another after Disclosure. We may see an entire group of B- and C-level celebrities who are vaulted forward into the public’s awareness, simply because they will be able to talk openly about their experiences.

But the biggest emerging celebrity will be someone in the lineage of Carl Sagan and Neil Degrasse Tyson, a scientist who has a tremendous ability to connect with an audience. Unlike Sagan and Tyson, however, this sci-lebrity will fully and completely embrace the technological wonder that allowed the Others to come from their home to ours. On the other hand, for every newly minted celebrity who speaks in a careful, measured manner about how the world is changing, there will be new versions of Nancy Grace, Keith Olbermann, or Glenn Beck.

This Revolution Will Be Televised

Adapting to change is what television does best. As a relentless purveyor of culture, it mercilessly tosses aside what is not working and casts about for something else that will work. Then it produces that form of programming for as long as people will watch it, eventually tossing aside the genre, star, or series until it needs to be called into duty again, albeit with a “new” twist.

As our digital age continues to transform itself, people have gained many new options for watching their news and entertainment. Even so, television—namely, serialized episodes of news, non-fiction, reality, drama, and comedy—will still exist in some form after Disclosure, and it will adapt. Indeed, ratings will probably be exceptional.

There has never been a twist as new, invigorating, potent, and compelling as Disclosure. So long as the Others do not detonate magnetic pulse weapons worldwide, depriving us of our technology and knocking us back to the Stone Age, television will love this brave new world.

For decades television shows have been attempting to prove or debunk UFOs. Most of those will become instantly obsolete and will never air again, at least in their original form. New programming will be needed. Veteran Hollywood producer Rob Kirk predicts that networks will scramble immediately to re-purpose those old episodes. They will still have plenty of excellent interviews and eyewitness reports that can be salvaged.
The narration will be re-written to remove the tone of skepticism and incredulity that these shows have often had as their point of view. A few new interviews, a couple of all-nighters re-writing all the voice-overs, and new programming that looks tailor-made for AD will be on the air, almost immediately.

However, that is patch-work compared to what will come. Depending on the type of Disclosure that comes to us on Day One, there may be photos, videos, lab reports, secret warehouses, and unclassified documents. It may very well be a treasure trove of raw material. As the news divisions scramble, no one will be better prepared to turn this around quickly than a Hollywood reality producer. Deals between production companies and networks will be struck so fast in the days immediately AD that there will be no time for Business Affairs lawyers even to write a deal memo. These will be virtual “handshake” deals, struck and consummated over text messages, e-mails, and cell phone calls. Entire shows will be delivered and aired in these early days before the paperwork catches up. This will be a boon to the existing companies, as networks will want instantly to call and hire teams they have worked with before.
