Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode, we're talking about Rand Corporation.
And how far will the government go?
That's correct. Rand Corporation.
And how far will the government go?
And before we get into that, I just want to say Happy Mother's
Day to all the mothers out there.
And if you're listening to the program and you haven't talked
to your mom, you have to tell her Happy Mother's Day.
Well, why not give it a shot? This first article comes to us
from wikipedia.org. Gives us a little background on
the Rand Corporation and what they're about.
It tells us the Rand Corporation is an American nonprofit global
policy think tank. Got to love that, don't you?
Research Institute and public sector consulting firm Rand
Corporation engages in research and development across multiple
fields and industries. Since the 1950s, Rand research
has helped inform United States policy decisions on a wide
variety of issues, including the space race, the Vietnam War, the
US Soviet nuclear arms confrontation, the creation of
the Great Society, social welfare programs, and national
healthcare. Yeah, all these things just have
been smashing successes too, haven't they?
The Rand Corporation originated as project ran from the phrase
research and development in the post war period.
Immediately after World War 2, the United States Army Air
Force's established Project Rand with the objective of
investigating a long range planning of future weapons.
Douglas Aircraft Company was granted a contract to research
intercontinental warfare. Project Rand later evolved into
the Rand Corporation and expanded its research into
civilian fields such as education and international
affairs. It was the first think tank to
be regularly referred to as a think tank.
Now I maybe I use this word too much, but if that's not
insidious, I don't know what is. It starts off of course funded
by taxpayer money is just one of these boondoggle, I think,
research projects from the Air Force, Army, Air Force.
I don't think he even been around that long when he started
this. And then I suppose with enough
money and former Air Force personnel, it converts from
being a government project to a private project.
And then you wonder why I talk about the Deep State.
Rand receives both public and private funding.
Its funding sources include the US government, private
endowments, corporations, universities, charitable
foundations, US state and local governments, international
organizations, and to a small extent by foreign governments.
What what they want is world government.
And you can see what's happening here.
So you you have elements of the deep state already in this
thing. You've got government agencies,
you got corporations, you got universities, and then you got
some of these mega millionaires. They're charitable foundations.
What I really dislike about these charitable, so-called
charitable foundations is how they just reach from the grave
to control us. You know, somebody has an idea
100 years ago, and so they put a bunch of money into this project
and this thing's around to haunt us 100 years later.
You don't let the dead bury the dead.
As it said, Rand has approximately 1850 employees.
So relatively small group of people when you compare it to
something like a Walmart or AGM or something.
It's American. Locations include Santa Monica,
CA, Arlington, VA, Pittsburgh, PA, and Boston, MA.
These are another problem with these corporations is a lot of
times they're located in big cities on the coast, the people
that work there or but they're located in a culture of
persuasion. So you you wonder why we end up
with the stuff that we end up with.
They're living in a fishable the Rand, Cambridge, United Kingdom,
Brussels, Belgium and Rotterdam, Netherlands.
It says. Rand Australia is located in
Canberra, Australia, so funded by the US located in Australia.
That's great. Rand is home to the Frederick S
Party Rand Graduate School, one of eight original graduate
programs in public policy and the first to offer a PhD.
You wonder why you have these stupid Kirby streets in your
town and why if you're a young person, if you're if you're an
old guy like me, and you can remember when you were young how
the streets were laid out in at straight angles, you know,
squares and rectangles. But now they come in to put into
subdivision in and they have these idiotic little swerving
roads running around. It's a real pain, especially in
a small town. It's it's people like this that
do this. You wonder why you have speed
zones that are 25 mile an hour when they should be 35 or 45 or
55. Because they want to slow you
down. They want to control you.
They want to control you in your car.
And they do that by just infesting themselves and your
local public government because then they get to make the rules
of the City Council member because nobody shows up, OK,
they want to, they want to design the city that you live
in. They don't want it to be from
the ground up, organic. Now they want to be top down.
And so a lot of times you end up with these nasty, ugly
government buildings that look like something from the
communists, you know, these communists, they all think
alike. They don't have any imagination.
It's just a program aims to provide practical experience for
students who work with Rand and that analyst on addressing real
world problems that get to the kids.
And they're going to tell you that just like in communism,
you're going to get into the minds of the young people and
then they're going to tell the older generation how it's going
to be. You know, you you just inflate
their egos with a little bit of power and a fat salary and all
of a sudden they're experts. The campuses at Rand's Santa
Monica research facility. The party Rand School is the
largest large is the world's largest PhD granting program in
policy analysis. Well, sure, that guy goes in for
a job with some city. Oh, he's got a PhD.
We better hire him. But he has no common sense.
And you could just see this as this, as these ideas, as this
culture infects our society. OK, controlling us from the top
down. Unlike many other programs, all
party ran graduate students receive fellowships to cover
their educational cost. Yeah, they're getting them
located somewhere. They're not giving these guys a
degree and then just sending them out into, you know, the
Wilds to find a job on their own.
No, they're connected. And they're connecting them with
other people that are either RAN graduates or they come from one
of these other big deep state corporations and they are
planting them in a city near you if they're not already in your
city, it says. Unlike many other programs, all
Party Rand graduate students receive fellowships to cover
their education cost. This allows them to dedicate
their time to engage in research projects and provides allowing
them with on the job training. Rand also offers a number of
internships and fellowship programs following, allowing
students and others to assist in conducting research for Rand
projects. Most of these are short term
independent projects mentored by a Rand staff member.
Yeah, get them up and go on. They're just like, they're like
insects coming up out of the ground, just filling the
environment goes on here, says Rand Corporation.
By late 1947, Douglas Aircraft executives had expressed their
concern that their close relationship with Rand might
create conflict of interest problems on future hardware
contracts. In January 1948, the Chief of
Staff of the newly created United States Air Force approved
the evolution of Project Rand into a nonprofit corporation
independent of Douglas. On May 14th, 1948, Rand was
incorporated as a nonprofit corporation under the laws of
the State of California, and on November 1st, 1948, Project Rand
contract was formally transferred from the Douglas
Aircraft Company to the Rand Corporation one hand to the
other. Initial capital for the spinoff
was provided by the Ford Foundation, another one of these
non profit charities. Since the 1950s, Rand research
has helped inform United States policy decisions on a wide
variety of issues, including the Space Race, the Vietnam War, the
US Soviet nuclear arms confrontation, the creation of
the Great Society. And I know what's so great about
it. Social Welfare Program, the
Digital Revolution, and National Healthcare and 1970s Iran
Corporation adjusted computer models it was using to recommend
closures of fire stations in New York City so that fire stations
were closed in the most fire prone areas, home to black and
Puerto Rican areas. Residents rather than in
wealthier, more affluent neighborhoods.
Can we read that again please? In the 1970s, the Rand
Corporation adjusted computer models, computer models.
Remember the old saying. Garbage in, garbage out that it
was using to recommend closure of fire stations.
So they put Rand Corporation in charge of telling them which
fire station to close in. New York City couldn't just have
a person who lives there do that.
Maybe some locals would know which fire stations need used
the most. So you have a limited resource
fire stations. And instead of New York putting
the fire department, City Council, maybe a public group
together to say, look, we've got a custom fire stations, which
ones do we need to cut? No, we can't do that.
Well, Joe Blow over here, he graduated from Rand with a PhD
and he says they've got a really cool computer model we can use.
What did the computer tell New York City to do?
Well, it says that they had to change the model that they were
using to recommend closure of fire stations in New York City
so that fire stations were closed in the most fire prone
areas, home to black and Puerto Rican residents, rather than in
wealthier, more affluent neighborhoods.
What? You mean that Rand was using a
computer program that told them that they had to shut down the
fire stations and the poor neighborhoods and leave the ones
in the rich neighborhoods open, even though they had a lot less
fires there? Hmm, sounds like a great
company. Rand contributed to the doctrine
of nuclear deterrence by mutually assured destruction.
MAD. Isn't it amazing how they just
put it right out there? MAD.
So Rand Corporation, They're the guys that recommended we build
so many nuclear weapons that we can completely eliminate all
human life on the planet in order to slow down those bad
Russians. I mean, it's not enough to be
able to destroy Moscow or Beijing once.
Why not be able to destroy it 1000 times?
And So what do we have today? We have a lot of unaccounted for
nuclear weapons and we're probably in a far worse state
today than if they would just stayed on the path where they
had a few weapons to destroy the big cities.
But they're not about that. They're about closing down fire
stations and poor neighborhoods and they're about building
enough nukes to destroy the entire planet.
Secretary Robert McNamara. This was a bright one here look
how they drug on Vietnam and based upon their new work with
game theory. So you take somebody who's a
bean counter, who I personally think was a moron when it came
to anything near common sense mean look how long Vietnam went
on. You deforested 2/3 of South
Vietnam, 1/3 of North Vietnam and when somebody can explain to
me why it was OK to drop napalm and firebomb villages while we
locked up soldiers for shooting people that were non combatants,
I would like to hear this. I would like to hear the story
on that, but more of this craziness.
Chief Strategist Herman Kahn also posted positive the idea of
winnable nuclear exchange in his 1960 book on thermonuclear war.
Now it says this led to Khan's being one of the models for
titular character of the film. Doctor Strangelove, in which
Rand is spoofed, is a bland corporation.
Look, if somebody thinks there's such a thing as a winnable
nuclear war, even if there was, why would you risk it?
We we have bombs that are what, 1000 times more destructive than
Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This I think what this does is,
and I'm not going to read through the rest of this, but
you can, you can take a look at this.
It's got more accomplishments and you know controversies and
blah, blah, blah. I'll put the link over at Kofi
and at the local site. I think what we learned from
this Rand Corporation is you take you start out from the very
seed. You know, it's kind of this idea
of poison fruit. You start out with what I kind
of view as a somewhat negative bunch of people.
These guys were good at bombing people in World War 2.
They were very good at destroying things and they won
the war. It had to be done.
But do you want that same mindset applied to the host of
problems that will present themselves over the next 100
years? So the same guys that helped
with the bombing of Japan, the the first use, the first use of
nuclear weapons, that same mindset, they'll just blow it
up. This is the same mindset applied
to nuclear war strategy. Oh yeah, we can win nuclear war.
Oh yeah, we need more nuclear bombs, not less.
Just fill the world with them. So there's no consideration here
for what could go wrong. It's almost like a a homicidally
reckless attitude. That's what you can see over and
over here and you can see but this little bit red here, 18150
employees and think of the amount of assets that they
control. Now you have this corporation
with this corporate culture, I think a complete lack of
empathy. McNamara, I mean what a, what a
foolish thing to send these young men to fight and die in
the jungles of Vietnam and say, well we have to have limited
warfare. You can bomb this, but you can't
bomb that. We can drop fire bombs on a
village and burn people to death for no good reason, but if one
of these soldiers gets out of control and kills an unarmed
serviceman because one of his Carmen has been killed, he's
going to do a hard time in prison.
This, the whole thing was just madness.
And so madness now that we've funded madness that is working
its way through our entire government structure, madness
where they can plant their pH DS in a city near you.
We could build a street point A to point B in a straight line,
but why not put some curves in it?
Wouldn't that be fun? So you see this whole attitude
of common sense just dissipating and being replaced with this
reckless endangerment of our whole planet, actually
craziness. People you likely wouldn't be
friends with. Now let's take those people and
put them in charge if any UFO that would happen to crash land
here. In fact, let's give those people
enough money that they can create weapon systems that might
take down one of these things, and then let's let these people
reverse engineer these objects. Lie to us about it and
monopolize control over any technology that they discover.
That's what we're up against. Do you feel good about that?
I don't know. With that backdrop of Ram, we've
talked about Patel, how it started back in, what, 1929?
Actually back in 23. The steel magnet leaves all the
money. So you, you, he basically.
And then is what? He died.
His wife is left behind, her son.
She outlives him. She's a suffragette.
Seems like she has a little bit of liberal leanings, but she
empowers that corporation and it starts off with her DNA in it.
OK, same thing here with Rand. You you begin with the DNA of
the War Department, people that were engaged at and very good at
destroying stuff. So when they're presented with a
problem of how do we handle the potential for nuclear war, they
just say build more bombs. That's their idea.
Very simplistic, very smooth. To have a complete inability to
even account for any kind of risk at all.
Not the kind of people that I would want to put in charge of
this kind of decision. And then to top it off, they're
not just talking about war. They're the single biggest
diploma mill for public policy PhDs.
Oh, you need to hire a city manager.
We got somebody here from Rand. He can make your streets curvy.
He can do this. He can do that.
Maybe he thinks you should just walk to work.
This is the kind of arrogant attitude that we're dealing
with. Top down.
Remember, the least happiest places on Earth are top down,
whether it's North Korea, China, the old Soviet Union, whatever.
People are happiest when it's bottom up, when they can exert
their own individual will, when they're treated like humans and
not like numbers. We do not want these
corporations, whether it's Patel or Rand or whoever, controlling
what we know about UFOs. And because they've completely
taken over any, any, any possibility of us really finding
out what's going on with the government, we have to do our
own parallel research. We have to become aware on our
own now, having got that little bit of background there from
Rand Corporation, kind of their approach to things.
I find it interesting this article from Aerial Time dot a
ERO it says Rand researchers urge us to develop public
reporting system for UAP sightings and this is by Emilia
Stanvik Guete, dated 4823, about a year old.
In a newly published research paper.
The Rand National Defense Research Institute in DRI has
urged the US authorities to consider developing a system for
public reporting or unidentified aerial phenomena in order to
minimize hoaxes in incidence of misidentified objects.
Well, set the funnel system And who's going to be the gatekeeper
after the House Oversight Committee met on July 26th, 2023
to hear the testimony from several military veterans about
the secretive stamps maintained by the US government regarding
UAP, also known as UFOs. Interest in this phenomena has
rocketed. Google searches for the tomb UFO
increased 4.88 times in the US and 5.25 times globally.
While congressional testimony about the non human biologics
found at the UAP Cry site might have sparked a revival in
ufology, the Rand report's lead author, Mark Passard, is more
concerned about the potential abuse of emerging airborne
technology by humans than about extraterrestrial threats.
Hmm, emerging technology. Interesting phrase.
Uaps are in the area of rising concern, he wrote in an article
published in the Hill media outlet.
Like all countries, the US has has finite resources to monitor
everything flying and it's fast airspace every second of the
day. For instance, the Chinese spy
balloon incident in early 2023 raised important concerns about
the military, about the ability of the US to detect airborne
threats. Or maybe they detected him and
just decided not to do anything. Pissard, along with colleagues
from Rand, Ashley Gromis and Mary Lee, analyzed over 100 and
1501 public reports. Of UAP sightings across 12,783
US Census Bureau designated places During the research, they
found that UAP sightings were more likely to occur within 30
kilometers of military operations areas where routine
training occurs. This suggests that some of the
sightings could be attributed to authorized aircraft.
Which civilians made a mistake for UAP due to a lack of
awareness about military activities in their vicinity?
Well, there you go. Making making an assumption, I'm
not seeing a single person's been interviewed.
I'm not seeing a bit, I'm not seeing one bit of evidence.
To support that conclusion, published research report
recommends that U.S. government authorities conduct outreach
with civilians located near military operations and
additional outreach to notify nearby civilians when is there
is Air Force activity in the area to reduce the likelihood of
misidentifications. Yeah, I think most of us know
what flares are, what flares are Accurate public reporting of UAP
threads in the future could be crucial as airborne technology
worldwide is becoming increasingly advanced.
As a result, the report calls for the design of a detailed and
robust system for public reporting of UAP sightings such
as a. Such a system would leverage
various technologies, location types, sighting fixtures, and
validation criteria to minimize hoaxes.
Yeah, cameras everywhere. There are a lot of suspicious
things that could potentially fly in the sky, and they're very
real threats, Poster said in an interview with Governing.
Having a system in place where people can report those sooner
rather than later could be quite useful.
But it's not helpful if people are cooking up conspiracies or
stories that are not rooted in fact.
It's also not helpful when you're a solution to a possible
nuclear war is to build as many nuclear weapons as possible and
then disperse, disperse them all over the place.
Now this this is the kind of the the really flawed reasoning that
I see so often here with the Rand Corporation.
They bring the same level of intellectual stunnedness, I
guess I could say, to their efforts to resolve the UFO
problem as they do to resolving the potential for nuclear war.
Hey, you going to have a nuclear war?
Just build more bonds. Hey, you want to put a new
street in your town? Let's make it curvy.
Just it's almost like this. The the thought process is all
over the place, and it's not supported by any kind of
critical thinking whatsoever. And that's the same way they
want to do with this UFO. Hey, we need a nationwide
reporting system. We'll decide what gets reported.
We'll take the picture. We'll we will put the cameras
and the listing devices on your property and call these Gremlin
UFO detectors. We'll be in charge of it.
We'll funnel all the data into our system.
You'll have no right to see it. That's not something I want to
be part of. OK?
That's something I want to be away from.
Now let's take a look at one more article here talking about
Rand's involvement with UFO research and what that could
mean for the rest of us. Now, I found this article here
on nicap.org and they're talking about the fact that Rand had
written this paper on UFOs. Apparently they denied they did
it, but these guys have looked it up.
I'll put that link over at Kofi and Locals it says here is an
actual Rand document in PDF format.
You can read it. Originally the Rand Corporation,
a high level research group that had nothing to do with the
business machine firms and one of the most unpublicized yet
highly competent contractors to the Air Force, stated in a
letter dated June 25th, 1965 that they were unable to
identify any RAM publications on UFOs available for external
distribution. That's that's some pretty
guarded language there. Not that they didn't have one,
just that they didn't have any that they could let you see.
Then in another letter dated August 8th, 1969, Rand noted
Rand has done very little on the subject of UFOs.
Therefore no publications have been written on the subject.
Sounds like it turned out to not be true.
I also have a copy of a letter dated October no date listed
1969, from the Department of the Air Force to Mr. William Lob of
Northfield, IL. The letter was written by
Lieutenant Colonel James Aikman, Chief Civil Branch, Community
Relations, Divisions Officer of Information.
It states the Rand Corporation has never made any reports on
unidentified flying objects for the United States Air Force.
If any reports were made by this corporation, they were made on
their own. Then it says.
Rand finally had to admit the existence of this paper and
later stated that it was originally produced as an
internal document and not prepared for or delivered to any
of Rand's clients. Rand decided to make this paper
available to the public if they ask for it.
This document, which crops up the for discussion every once in
a while, is placed here with the commentary at the end of this
page for the record. In regard to the commentary, I
had made a request to Kufos CUFOS November 6th to November
2006 to locate a copy of a letter from George Kosher to
Doctor Alan J Heineck to document the contents mentioned
by Jan Aldrick and to confirm the date of same.
Wow. Yeah, I think that quite a quite
a long paper. I'll just go through a little
bit of it here. Introduction that says UFOs
unidentified flying objects or flying saucers as they are often
called, have been on the mind of the public for at least the last
22 years for a number of reasons.
We know a little more about them now than we did at the outset.
There exists a great amount of misinformation about the
phenomena, not only in the minds of the public, but among
educated groups such as scientists as well.
It is the purpose of this series of essays to describe various
aspects of the phenomena, make clear my prejudices and the
reasons for them, and to suggest a means of proceeding on this
interesting and potentially very significant problem.
But just a few words about the term.
UFOJA Heineck, an astronomer having continuous involvement
with UFO study for over 20 years, defines UFOs as any
reported aerial or surface visual sightings or radar
returns which remains unexplained by conventional
means even after examination by competent persons.
This definition specifies neither flying nor objects.
I would agree, but would prefer to replace or radar return with
or instrument with instrumental observation and even after
examination by competent persons.
Do even after competent examination by qualified
persons. This then, is the definition I
have adopted for the five essays.
Boy, what a know it all. No, they just can't be
competent. Well, they've got to be
qualified. In other words, we have to say
that these people are past the mustard.
So you see this, I think, just a terribly arrogant attitude.
We're going to gather the data. We're going to decide if the
data should even be looked at. And we're going to do that by
assigning somebody that we approve of to do the deciding of
whether or not your UFO account is even considered.
And then after we take your report, after our person looks
at it, we'll let you know if it wasn't just swamp gas.
And that's the vibe I'm getting here, It goes on.
And I'm not going to read the whole article.
I just, I don't know. I think a lot of it's just kind
of pretentious, but they really they're they really do a number
here. I I, I see this as the kind of
things that these guys that these think tanks are doing
sitting around making big money, have been for years, living off
a government dole and then occasionally putting out these
papers that really don't tell us anything or maybe just try to
continue to pull the wolves over our eyes.
But that's that's what's happening.
That is the world we live in. That's that is the Petri dish of
this UFO phenomena from the government's perspective.
Collect all the data and circle it, make it top secret if you
have to and then then don't let anybody outside their circle
know the truth. But I want you to understand
what's happening here. We have our own government in
collusion with major corporations, oftentimes non
profit, and these big universities and sometimes very
powerful private individuals, they're trying to crowd all this
information to where only they can see it And somewhere in this
little toxic environment they've created exists what we know as
the deep state, the BLOB. Until next time, this is UFO
Warning. Over and out.
