1 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,120 Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning. 2 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,320 In this episode, we're talking about Rand Corporation. 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,440 And how far will the government go? 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:12,640 That's correct. Rand Corporation. 5 00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:15,360 And how far will the government go? 6 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,600 And before we get into that, I just want to say Happy Mother's 7 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:19,880 Day to all the mothers out there. 8 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,360 And if you're listening to the program and you haven't talked 9 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,200 to your mom, you have to tell her Happy Mother's Day. 10 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,960 Well, why not give it a shot? This first article comes to us 11 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,400 from wikipedia.org. Gives us a little background on 12 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,280 the Rand Corporation and what they're about. 13 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,200 It tells us the Rand Corporation is an American nonprofit global 14 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,920 policy think tank. Got to love that, don't you? 15 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:44,640 Research Institute and public sector consulting firm Rand 16 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,560 Corporation engages in research and development across multiple 17 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:53,400 fields and industries. Since the 1950s, Rand research 18 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,280 has helped inform United States policy decisions on a wide 19 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,880 variety of issues, including the space race, the Vietnam War, the 20 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,600 US Soviet nuclear arms confrontation, the creation of 21 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,320 the Great Society, social welfare programs, and national 22 00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:13,000 healthcare. Yeah, all these things just have 23 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,240 been smashing successes too, haven't they? 24 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:20,320 The Rand Corporation originated as project ran from the phrase 25 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,480 research and development in the post war period. 26 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,560 Immediately after World War 2, the United States Army Air 27 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,040 Force's established Project Rand with the objective of 28 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,160 investigating a long range planning of future weapons. 29 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,480 Douglas Aircraft Company was granted a contract to research 30 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,360 intercontinental warfare. Project Rand later evolved into 31 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,680 the Rand Corporation and expanded its research into 32 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,120 civilian fields such as education and international 33 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,320 affairs. It was the first think tank to 34 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,880 be regularly referred to as a think tank. 35 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,080 Now I maybe I use this word too much, but if that's not 36 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,160 insidious, I don't know what is. It starts off of course funded 37 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,720 by taxpayer money is just one of these boondoggle, I think, 38 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,960 research projects from the Air Force, Army, Air Force. 39 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,640 I don't think he even been around that long when he started 40 00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:17,360 this. And then I suppose with enough 41 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:22,040 money and former Air Force personnel, it converts from 42 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:27,120 being a government project to a private project. 43 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,400 And then you wonder why I talk about the Deep State. 44 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,600 Rand receives both public and private funding. 45 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,200 Its funding sources include the US government, private 46 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,200 endowments, corporations, universities, charitable 47 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,200 foundations, US state and local governments, international 48 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,400 organizations, and to a small extent by foreign governments. 49 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,480 What what they want is world government. 50 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:52,760 And you can see what's happening here. 51 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,600 So you you have elements of the deep state already in this 52 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,160 thing. You've got government agencies, 53 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,680 you got corporations, you got universities, and then you got 54 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,520 some of these mega millionaires. They're charitable foundations. 55 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,640 What I really dislike about these charitable, so-called 56 00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:10,080 charitable foundations is how they just reach from the grave 57 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,960 to control us. You know, somebody has an idea 58 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,760 100 years ago, and so they put a bunch of money into this project 59 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,400 and this thing's around to haunt us 100 years later. 60 00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:21,920 You don't let the dead bury the dead. 61 00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:26,920 As it said, Rand has approximately 1850 employees. 62 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,320 So relatively small group of people when you compare it to 63 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,120 something like a Walmart or AGM or something. 64 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,320 It's American. Locations include Santa Monica, 65 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:39,800 CA, Arlington, VA, Pittsburgh, PA, and Boston, MA. 66 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,400 These are another problem with these corporations is a lot of 67 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,280 times they're located in big cities on the coast, the people 68 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,400 that work there or but they're located in a culture of 69 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,800 persuasion. So you you wonder why we end up 70 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:54,920 with the stuff that we end up with. 71 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,760 They're living in a fishable the Rand, Cambridge, United Kingdom, 72 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,160 Brussels, Belgium and Rotterdam, Netherlands. 73 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,040 It says. Rand Australia is located in 74 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:08,120 Canberra, Australia, so funded by the US located in Australia. 75 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,600 That's great. Rand is home to the Frederick S 76 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,440 Party Rand Graduate School, one of eight original graduate 77 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,399 programs in public policy and the first to offer a PhD. 78 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,760 You wonder why you have these stupid Kirby streets in your 79 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,400 town and why if you're a young person, if you're if you're an 80 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,080 old guy like me, and you can remember when you were young how 81 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,560 the streets were laid out in at straight angles, you know, 82 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,240 squares and rectangles. But now they come in to put into 83 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,240 subdivision in and they have these idiotic little swerving 84 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,240 roads running around. It's a real pain, especially in 85 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,200 a small town. It's it's people like this that 86 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,080 do this. You wonder why you have speed 87 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,120 zones that are 25 mile an hour when they should be 35 or 45 or 88 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,760 55. Because they want to slow you 89 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:50,680 down. They want to control you. 90 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,440 They want to control you in your car. 91 00:04:53,720 --> 00:05:00,160 And they do that by just infesting themselves and your 92 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,720 local public government because then they get to make the rules 93 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,760 of the City Council member because nobody shows up, OK, 94 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,400 they want to, they want to design the city that you live 95 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:11,920 in. They don't want it to be from 96 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,560 the ground up, organic. Now they want to be top down. 97 00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:17,880 And so a lot of times you end up with these nasty, ugly 98 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,760 government buildings that look like something from the 99 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,040 communists, you know, these communists, they all think 100 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,840 alike. They don't have any imagination. 101 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,680 It's just a program aims to provide practical experience for 102 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,720 students who work with Rand and that analyst on addressing real 103 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,680 world problems that get to the kids. 104 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,160 And they're going to tell you that just like in communism, 105 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,600 you're going to get into the minds of the young people and 106 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,680 then they're going to tell the older generation how it's going 107 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,480 to be. You know, you you just inflate 108 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,920 their egos with a little bit of power and a fat salary and all 109 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,080 of a sudden they're experts. The campuses at Rand's Santa 110 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,200 Monica research facility. The party Rand School is the 111 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,680 largest large is the world's largest PhD granting program in 112 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,960 policy analysis. Well, sure, that guy goes in for 113 00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:02,800 a job with some city. Oh, he's got a PhD. 114 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,720 We better hire him. But he has no common sense. 115 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,160 And you could just see this as this, as these ideas, as this 116 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:16,200 culture infects our society. OK, controlling us from the top 117 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,880 down. Unlike many other programs, all 118 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,080 party ran graduate students receive fellowships to cover 119 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,000 their educational cost. Yeah, they're getting them 120 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,720 located somewhere. They're not giving these guys a 121 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,920 degree and then just sending them out into, you know, the 122 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,680 Wilds to find a job on their own. 123 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,400 No, they're connected. And they're connecting them with 124 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,600 other people that are either RAN graduates or they come from one 125 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,600 of these other big deep state corporations and they are 126 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:46,960 planting them in a city near you if they're not already in your 127 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,720 city, it says. Unlike many other programs, all 128 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,560 Party Rand graduate students receive fellowships to cover 129 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,760 their education cost. This allows them to dedicate 130 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:02,480 their time to engage in research projects and provides allowing 131 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,560 them with on the job training. Rand also offers a number of 132 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,040 internships and fellowship programs following, allowing 133 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,800 students and others to assist in conducting research for Rand 134 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,920 projects. Most of these are short term 135 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,600 independent projects mentored by a Rand staff member. 136 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,920 Yeah, get them up and go on. They're just like, they're like 137 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,560 insects coming up out of the ground, just filling the 138 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,000 environment goes on here, says Rand Corporation. 139 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,760 By late 1947, Douglas Aircraft executives had expressed their 140 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,080 concern that their close relationship with Rand might 141 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,720 create conflict of interest problems on future hardware 142 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,520 contracts. In January 1948, the Chief of 143 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,840 Staff of the newly created United States Air Force approved 144 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,640 the evolution of Project Rand into a nonprofit corporation 145 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:55,800 independent of Douglas. On May 14th, 1948, Rand was 146 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,320 incorporated as a nonprofit corporation under the laws of 147 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,960 the State of California, and on November 1st, 1948, Project Rand 148 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,200 contract was formally transferred from the Douglas 149 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,880 Aircraft Company to the Rand Corporation one hand to the 150 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,040 other. Initial capital for the spinoff 151 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,560 was provided by the Ford Foundation, another one of these 152 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,560 non profit charities. Since the 1950s, Rand research 153 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,360 has helped inform United States policy decisions on a wide 154 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,880 variety of issues, including the Space Race, the Vietnam War, the 155 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,560 US Soviet nuclear arms confrontation, the creation of 156 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,720 the Great Society. And I know what's so great about 157 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,600 it. Social Welfare Program, the 158 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,480 Digital Revolution, and National Healthcare and 1970s Iran 159 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,159 Corporation adjusted computer models it was using to recommend 160 00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:45,960 closures of fire stations in New York City so that fire stations 161 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,680 were closed in the most fire prone areas, home to black and 162 00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:53,080 Puerto Rican areas. Residents rather than in 163 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,320 wealthier, more affluent neighborhoods. 164 00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:01,360 Can we read that again please? In the 1970s, the Rand 165 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:06,480 Corporation adjusted computer models, computer models. 166 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,880 Remember the old saying. Garbage in, garbage out that it 167 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:14,120 was using to recommend closure of fire stations. 168 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:20,600 So they put Rand Corporation in charge of telling them which 169 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:26,280 fire station to close in. New York City couldn't just have 170 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,320 a person who lives there do that. 171 00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:33,840 Maybe some locals would know which fire stations need used 172 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,440 the most. So you have a limited resource 173 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,960 fire stations. And instead of New York putting 174 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:44,120 the fire department, City Council, maybe a public group 175 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,520 together to say, look, we've got a custom fire stations, which 176 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,200 ones do we need to cut? No, we can't do that. 177 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:56,120 Well, Joe Blow over here, he graduated from Rand with a PhD 178 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,000 and he says they've got a really cool computer model we can use. 179 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,200 What did the computer tell New York City to do? 180 00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:08,640 Well, it says that they had to change the model that they were 181 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,960 using to recommend closure of fire stations in New York City 182 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:17,640 so that fire stations were closed in the most fire prone 183 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:24,240 areas, home to black and Puerto Rican residents, rather than in 184 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,160 wealthier, more affluent neighborhoods. 185 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,360 What? You mean that Rand was using a 186 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,920 computer program that told them that they had to shut down the 187 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:40,200 fire stations and the poor neighborhoods and leave the ones 188 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,640 in the rich neighborhoods open, even though they had a lot less 189 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,680 fires there? Hmm, sounds like a great 190 00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:50,040 company. Rand contributed to the doctrine 191 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,520 of nuclear deterrence by mutually assured destruction. 192 00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:57,200 MAD. Isn't it amazing how they just 193 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:58,400 put it right out there? MAD. 194 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:04,680 So Rand Corporation, They're the guys that recommended we build 195 00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:08,720 so many nuclear weapons that we can completely eliminate all 196 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,120 human life on the planet in order to slow down those bad 197 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,120 Russians. I mean, it's not enough to be 198 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,640 able to destroy Moscow or Beijing once. 199 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,960 Why not be able to destroy it 1000 times? 200 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,000 And So what do we have today? We have a lot of unaccounted for 201 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,120 nuclear weapons and we're probably in a far worse state 202 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,800 today than if they would just stayed on the path where they 203 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,080 had a few weapons to destroy the big cities. 204 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,520 But they're not about that. They're about closing down fire 205 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,560 stations and poor neighborhoods and they're about building 206 00:11:39,560 --> 00:11:42,560 enough nukes to destroy the entire planet. 207 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,840 Secretary Robert McNamara. This was a bright one here look 208 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,600 how they drug on Vietnam and based upon their new work with 209 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,960 game theory. So you take somebody who's a 210 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,720 bean counter, who I personally think was a moron when it came 211 00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:00,480 to anything near common sense mean look how long Vietnam went 212 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,440 on. You deforested 2/3 of South 213 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:08,040 Vietnam, 1/3 of North Vietnam and when somebody can explain to 214 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:13,920 me why it was OK to drop napalm and firebomb villages while we 215 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,920 locked up soldiers for shooting people that were non combatants, 216 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,160 I would like to hear this. I would like to hear the story 217 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:22,560 on that, but more of this craziness. 218 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:28,640 Chief Strategist Herman Kahn also posted positive the idea of 219 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,440 winnable nuclear exchange in his 1960 book on thermonuclear war. 220 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,920 Now it says this led to Khan's being one of the models for 221 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,480 titular character of the film. Doctor Strangelove, in which 222 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,520 Rand is spoofed, is a bland corporation. 223 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:49,320 Look, if somebody thinks there's such a thing as a winnable 224 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,760 nuclear war, even if there was, why would you risk it? 225 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,120 We we have bombs that are what, 1000 times more destructive than 226 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,120 Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This I think what this does is, 227 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:03,640 and I'm not going to read through the rest of this, but 228 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,160 you can, you can take a look at this. 229 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,640 It's got more accomplishments and you know controversies and 230 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,760 blah, blah, blah. I'll put the link over at Kofi 231 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,560 and at the local site. I think what we learned from 232 00:13:15,560 --> 00:13:18,560 this Rand Corporation is you take you start out from the very 233 00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:20,240 seed. You know, it's kind of this idea 234 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,320 of poison fruit. You start out with what I kind 235 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,000 of view as a somewhat negative bunch of people. 236 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,000 These guys were good at bombing people in World War 2. 237 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,480 They were very good at destroying things and they won 238 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:32,600 the war. It had to be done. 239 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:39,280 But do you want that same mindset applied to the host of 240 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,640 problems that will present themselves over the next 100 241 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,520 years? So the same guys that helped 242 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:51,320 with the bombing of Japan, the the first use, the first use of 243 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,320 nuclear weapons, that same mindset, they'll just blow it 244 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,680 up. This is the same mindset applied 245 00:13:56,680 --> 00:14:00,760 to nuclear war strategy. Oh yeah, we can win nuclear war. 246 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,280 Oh yeah, we need more nuclear bombs, not less. 247 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,320 Just fill the world with them. So there's no consideration here 248 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,400 for what could go wrong. It's almost like a a homicidally 249 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:15,480 reckless attitude. That's what you can see over and 250 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,920 over here and you can see but this little bit red here, 18150 251 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,320 employees and think of the amount of assets that they 252 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:27,080 control. Now you have this corporation 253 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,600 with this corporate culture, I think a complete lack of 254 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,160 empathy. McNamara, I mean what a, what a 255 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,520 foolish thing to send these young men to fight and die in 256 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,360 the jungles of Vietnam and say, well we have to have limited 257 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:42,880 warfare. You can bomb this, but you can't 258 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,480 bomb that. We can drop fire bombs on a 259 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,520 village and burn people to death for no good reason, but if one 260 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,400 of these soldiers gets out of control and kills an unarmed 261 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,080 serviceman because one of his Carmen has been killed, he's 262 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,280 going to do a hard time in prison. 263 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,200 This, the whole thing was just madness. 264 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,560 And so madness now that we've funded madness that is working 265 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,960 its way through our entire government structure, madness 266 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,840 where they can plant their pH DS in a city near you. 267 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,440 We could build a street point A to point B in a straight line, 268 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,880 but why not put some curves in it? 269 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:19,040 Wouldn't that be fun? So you see this whole attitude 270 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:24,200 of common sense just dissipating and being replaced with this 271 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,400 reckless endangerment of our whole planet, actually 272 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,840 craziness. People you likely wouldn't be 273 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:36,520 friends with. Now let's take those people and 274 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,040 put them in charge if any UFO that would happen to crash land 275 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,720 here. In fact, let's give those people 276 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,640 enough money that they can create weapon systems that might 277 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,320 take down one of these things, and then let's let these people 278 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:54,080 reverse engineer these objects. Lie to us about it and 279 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:59,160 monopolize control over any technology that they discover. 280 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,920 That's what we're up against. Do you feel good about that? 281 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,720 I don't know. With that backdrop of Ram, we've 282 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,520 talked about Patel, how it started back in, what, 1929? 283 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,960 Actually back in 23. The steel magnet leaves all the 284 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,200 money. So you, you, he basically. 285 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,400 And then is what? He died. 286 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,600 His wife is left behind, her son. 287 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,880 She outlives him. She's a suffragette. 288 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,280 Seems like she has a little bit of liberal leanings, but she 289 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,720 empowers that corporation and it starts off with her DNA in it. 290 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:35,080 OK, same thing here with Rand. You you begin with the DNA of 291 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,720 the War Department, people that were engaged at and very good at 292 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,320 destroying stuff. So when they're presented with a 293 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,160 problem of how do we handle the potential for nuclear war, they 294 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,760 just say build more bombs. That's their idea. 295 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:52,560 Very simplistic, very smooth. To have a complete inability to 296 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,040 even account for any kind of risk at all. 297 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,240 Not the kind of people that I would want to put in charge of 298 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,520 this kind of decision. And then to top it off, they're 299 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,240 not just talking about war. They're the single biggest 300 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:08,160 diploma mill for public policy PhDs. 301 00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:10,720 Oh, you need to hire a city manager. 302 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,640 We got somebody here from Rand. He can make your streets curvy. 303 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,240 He can do this. He can do that. 304 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,000 Maybe he thinks you should just walk to work. 305 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,200 This is the kind of arrogant attitude that we're dealing 306 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,560 with. Top down. 307 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:29,200 Remember, the least happiest places on Earth are top down, 308 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,280 whether it's North Korea, China, the old Soviet Union, whatever. 309 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,560 People are happiest when it's bottom up, when they can exert 310 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,880 their own individual will, when they're treated like humans and 311 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,840 not like numbers. We do not want these 312 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,720 corporations, whether it's Patel or Rand or whoever, controlling 313 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,800 what we know about UFOs. And because they've completely 314 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:57,680 taken over any, any, any possibility of us really finding 315 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,640 out what's going on with the government, we have to do our 316 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,080 own parallel research. We have to become aware on our 317 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,720 own now, having got that little bit of background there from 318 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,440 Rand Corporation, kind of their approach to things. 319 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,240 I find it interesting this article from Aerial Time dot a 320 00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:17,360 ERO it says Rand researchers urge us to develop public 321 00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:21,080 reporting system for UAP sightings and this is by Emilia 322 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:25,840 Stanvik Guete, dated 4823, about a year old. 323 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,240 In a newly published research paper. 324 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,600 The Rand National Defense Research Institute in DRI has 325 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,760 urged the US authorities to consider developing a system for 326 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,280 public reporting or unidentified aerial phenomena in order to 327 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,760 minimize hoaxes in incidence of misidentified objects. 328 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,480 Well, set the funnel system And who's going to be the gatekeeper 329 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,560 after the House Oversight Committee met on July 26th, 2023 330 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,560 to hear the testimony from several military veterans about 331 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,160 the secretive stamps maintained by the US government regarding 332 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,880 UAP, also known as UFOs. Interest in this phenomena has 333 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,800 rocketed. Google searches for the tomb UFO 334 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:08,200 increased 4.88 times in the US and 5.25 times globally. 335 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,080 While congressional testimony about the non human biologics 336 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:17,560 found at the UAP Cry site might have sparked a revival in 337 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,960 ufology, the Rand report's lead author, Mark Passard, is more 338 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,480 concerned about the potential abuse of emerging airborne 339 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,280 technology by humans than about extraterrestrial threats. 340 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,240 Hmm, emerging technology. Interesting phrase. 341 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:36,000 Uaps are in the area of rising concern, he wrote in an article 342 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,440 published in the Hill media outlet. 343 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,440 Like all countries, the US has has finite resources to monitor 344 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,040 everything flying and it's fast airspace every second of the 345 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,320 day. For instance, the Chinese spy 346 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,320 balloon incident in early 2023 raised important concerns about 347 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,600 the military, about the ability of the US to detect airborne 348 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,800 threats. Or maybe they detected him and 349 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:02,080 just decided not to do anything. Pissard, along with colleagues 350 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:06,760 from Rand, Ashley Gromis and Mary Lee, analyzed over 100 and 351 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:14,600 1501 public reports. Of UAP sightings across 12,783 352 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:20,360 US Census Bureau designated places During the research, they 353 00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:24,120 found that UAP sightings were more likely to occur within 30 354 00:20:24,120 --> 00:20:27,800 kilometers of military operations areas where routine 355 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,600 training occurs. This suggests that some of the 356 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,080 sightings could be attributed to authorized aircraft. 357 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,640 Which civilians made a mistake for UAP due to a lack of 358 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,040 awareness about military activities in their vicinity? 359 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,360 Well, there you go. Making making an assumption, I'm 360 00:20:43,360 --> 00:20:45,200 not seeing a single person's been interviewed. 361 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,160 I'm not seeing a bit, I'm not seeing one bit of evidence. 362 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,840 To support that conclusion, published research report 363 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:57,120 recommends that U.S. government authorities conduct outreach 364 00:20:57,120 --> 00:21:00,320 with civilians located near military operations and 365 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,680 additional outreach to notify nearby civilians when is there 366 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,480 is Air Force activity in the area to reduce the likelihood of 367 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,920 misidentifications. Yeah, I think most of us know 368 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,640 what flares are, what flares are Accurate public reporting of UAP 369 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,680 threads in the future could be crucial as airborne technology 370 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,200 worldwide is becoming increasingly advanced. 371 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,400 As a result, the report calls for the design of a detailed and 372 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,480 robust system for public reporting of UAP sightings such 373 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,640 as a. Such a system would leverage 374 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:36,960 various technologies, location types, sighting fixtures, and 375 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,440 validation criteria to minimize hoaxes. 376 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,240 Yeah, cameras everywhere. There are a lot of suspicious 377 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,240 things that could potentially fly in the sky, and they're very 378 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,800 real threats, Poster said in an interview with Governing. 379 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:53,160 Having a system in place where people can report those sooner 380 00:21:53,360 --> 00:21:55,800 rather than later could be quite useful. 381 00:21:56,120 --> 00:22:00,360 But it's not helpful if people are cooking up conspiracies or 382 00:22:00,360 --> 00:22:02,560 stories that are not rooted in fact. 383 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,320 It's also not helpful when you're a solution to a possible 384 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:13,200 nuclear war is to build as many nuclear weapons as possible and 385 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,800 then disperse, disperse them all over the place. 386 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:20,920 Now this this is the kind of the the really flawed reasoning that 387 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,120 I see so often here with the Rand Corporation. 388 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:29,360 They bring the same level of intellectual stunnedness, I 389 00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:35,360 guess I could say, to their efforts to resolve the UFO 390 00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:39,680 problem as they do to resolving the potential for nuclear war. 391 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,320 Hey, you going to have a nuclear war? 392 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,240 Just build more bonds. Hey, you want to put a new 393 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,080 street in your town? Let's make it curvy. 394 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:51,080 Just it's almost like this. The the thought process is all 395 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,400 over the place, and it's not supported by any kind of 396 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,600 critical thinking whatsoever. And that's the same way they 397 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,160 want to do with this UFO. Hey, we need a nationwide 398 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,800 reporting system. We'll decide what gets reported. 399 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,920 We'll take the picture. We'll we will put the cameras 400 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,840 and the listing devices on your property and call these Gremlin 401 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,400 UFO detectors. We'll be in charge of it. 402 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,520 We'll funnel all the data into our system. 403 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,400 You'll have no right to see it. That's not something I want to 404 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:18,800 be part of. OK? 405 00:23:19,120 --> 00:23:21,080 That's something I want to be away from. 406 00:23:21,360 --> 00:23:23,840 Now let's take a look at one more article here talking about 407 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,760 Rand's involvement with UFO research and what that could 408 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,720 mean for the rest of us. Now, I found this article here 409 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:34,720 on nicap.org and they're talking about the fact that Rand had 410 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,280 written this paper on UFOs. Apparently they denied they did 411 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:39,760 it, but these guys have looked it up. 412 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,520 I'll put that link over at Kofi and Locals it says here is an 413 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,520 actual Rand document in PDF format. 414 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,200 You can read it. Originally the Rand Corporation, 415 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,120 a high level research group that had nothing to do with the 416 00:23:52,120 --> 00:23:56,200 business machine firms and one of the most unpublicized yet 417 00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,240 highly competent contractors to the Air Force, stated in a 418 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:05,320 letter dated June 25th, 1965 that they were unable to 419 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:09,960 identify any RAM publications on UFOs available for external 420 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,760 distribution. That's that's some pretty 421 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,600 guarded language there. Not that they didn't have one, 422 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,040 just that they didn't have any that they could let you see. 423 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:23,520 Then in another letter dated August 8th, 1969, Rand noted 424 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,640 Rand has done very little on the subject of UFOs. 425 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,240 Therefore no publications have been written on the subject. 426 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,680 Sounds like it turned out to not be true. 427 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,720 I also have a copy of a letter dated October no date listed 428 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:41,920 1969, from the Department of the Air Force to Mr. William Lob of 429 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,840 Northfield, IL. The letter was written by 430 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,080 Lieutenant Colonel James Aikman, Chief Civil Branch, Community 431 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,400 Relations, Divisions Officer of Information. 432 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,520 It states the Rand Corporation has never made any reports on 433 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,120 unidentified flying objects for the United States Air Force. 434 00:24:57,360 --> 00:25:00,840 If any reports were made by this corporation, they were made on 435 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,520 their own. Then it says. 436 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,080 Rand finally had to admit the existence of this paper and 437 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,640 later stated that it was originally produced as an 438 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,920 internal document and not prepared for or delivered to any 439 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,600 of Rand's clients. Rand decided to make this paper 440 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,120 available to the public if they ask for it. 441 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,200 This document, which crops up the for discussion every once in 442 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,360 a while, is placed here with the commentary at the end of this 443 00:25:27,360 --> 00:25:30,120 page for the record. In regard to the commentary, I 444 00:25:30,120 --> 00:25:35,360 had made a request to Kufos CUFOS November 6th to November 445 00:25:35,360 --> 00:25:39,680 2006 to locate a copy of a letter from George Kosher to 446 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,000 Doctor Alan J Heineck to document the contents mentioned 447 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:48,240 by Jan Aldrick and to confirm the date of same. 448 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,280 Wow. Yeah, I think that quite a quite 449 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,320 a long paper. I'll just go through a little 450 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,880 bit of it here. Introduction that says UFOs 451 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,280 unidentified flying objects or flying saucers as they are often 452 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,320 called, have been on the mind of the public for at least the last 453 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,360 22 years for a number of reasons. 454 00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:09,680 We know a little more about them now than we did at the outset. 455 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,240 There exists a great amount of misinformation about the 456 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,320 phenomena, not only in the minds of the public, but among 457 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,960 educated groups such as scientists as well. 458 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,360 It is the purpose of this series of essays to describe various 459 00:26:23,360 --> 00:26:27,720 aspects of the phenomena, make clear my prejudices and the 460 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,520 reasons for them, and to suggest a means of proceeding on this 461 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,400 interesting and potentially very significant problem. 462 00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:36,560 But just a few words about the term. 463 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:41,320 UFOJA Heineck, an astronomer having continuous involvement 464 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:45,600 with UFO study for over 20 years, defines UFOs as any 465 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,920 reported aerial or surface visual sightings or radar 466 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,000 returns which remains unexplained by conventional 467 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,760 means even after examination by competent persons. 468 00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:00,160 This definition specifies neither flying nor objects. 469 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:05,160 I would agree, but would prefer to replace or radar return with 470 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,960 or instrument with instrumental observation and even after 471 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,400 examination by competent persons. 472 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,680 Do even after competent examination by qualified 473 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,400 persons. This then, is the definition I 474 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,360 have adopted for the five essays. 475 00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:21,640 Boy, what a know it all. No, they just can't be 476 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,000 competent. Well, they've got to be 477 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,480 qualified. In other words, we have to say 478 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,880 that these people are past the mustard. 479 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,000 So you see this, I think, just a terribly arrogant attitude. 480 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,440 We're going to gather the data. We're going to decide if the 481 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:39,240 data should even be looked at. And we're going to do that by 482 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:44,880 assigning somebody that we approve of to do the deciding of 483 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,720 whether or not your UFO account is even considered. 484 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:52,720 And then after we take your report, after our person looks 485 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,720 at it, we'll let you know if it wasn't just swamp gas. 486 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,800 And that's the vibe I'm getting here, It goes on. 487 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,120 And I'm not going to read the whole article. 488 00:28:00,120 --> 00:28:02,520 I just, I don't know. I think a lot of it's just kind 489 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:07,040 of pretentious, but they really they're they really do a number 490 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,400 here. I I, I see this as the kind of 491 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,040 things that these guys that these think tanks are doing 492 00:28:12,360 --> 00:28:16,560 sitting around making big money, have been for years, living off 493 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,880 a government dole and then occasionally putting out these 494 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,560 papers that really don't tell us anything or maybe just try to 495 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,280 continue to pull the wolves over our eyes. 496 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,640 But that's that's what's happening. 497 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,360 That is the world we live in. That's that is the Petri dish of 498 00:28:31,360 --> 00:28:34,480 this UFO phenomena from the government's perspective. 499 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:39,240 Collect all the data and circle it, make it top secret if you 500 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:44,000 have to and then then don't let anybody outside their circle 501 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,160 know the truth. But I want you to understand 502 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,280 what's happening here. We have our own government in 503 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,440 collusion with major corporations, oftentimes non 504 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:56,520 profit, and these big universities and sometimes very 505 00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,440 powerful private individuals, they're trying to crowd all this 506 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,840 information to where only they can see it And somewhere in this 507 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,880 little toxic environment they've created exists what we know as 508 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:12,040 the deep state, the BLOB. Until next time, this is UFO 509 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,080 Warning. Over and out.
