Reality Check showcases UFO lawyer Peter Gersten's rare perspective, one that combines legal expertise and cosmic awareness.
There is one aspect of our interaction with this non-human intelligence which poses a threat to our safety and possibly to our very survival.
Benevolent contact with another intelligence, no matter what the form, is not a threat to our species' safety or survival. As law enforcement agencies are not concerned with individuals who obey the law, I am not concerned with any actions that are not in violation of our sovereignty.
But, what I am alarmed about is our lack of concern in the face of overwhelming evidence of continuous conduct that would be considered criminal if committed by members of our own species. I am also concerned about the aerial objects that perform way beyond what we are told is present day development, which continue to remain unidentified and which our "leaders" tell us we are imagining. Something is not right. How long can we ignore the signs?
As a CAUS member recently stated, "The perception of threat is rational because of the manifestation of an unknown, uncontrollable, superior force as far as the general human population is concerned."
There is evidence of a threat to our safety and possibly to our survival by an unknown life form / intelligence that is invading our reality. Further, there is evidence of a concerted and intentional strategy of deception, disinformation, and secrecy surrounding this clandestine invasion.
I have been following the prescribed legal avenues in an attempt to obtain information about this life form / intelligence so as to alert the public to its presence and potential. But what if there comes a time when there are no longer any legally approved channels? What if the shroud of secrecy is so powerful that it is impervious to attack from anything considered "appropriate" within our society? What if only an unexpected and extraordinary strategy is required?
How can I, believing as I do in a clear and present danger to our species, limit myself in any manner, let alone, give up the fight? How can you? After working within the system for all these years and after exhausting all legally permissible methods without obtaining the necessary time, attention, and talent, what is one person to do?
At this time I would like to address three points most frequently raised in the comments I have received:
1. If this intelligence wanted to destroy us, they would have done so by now. The fact that they haven't indicates that they mean us no harm.
Well, the only inference I would draw from the fact that the intelligence hasn't destroyed us so far is that apparently we pose no threat to it. But there might come a time in the future when, beCAUS of new technology, a new weapon, or something we do to the planet, we do pose a threat. Then what? Possibly this intelligence has a different time frame, or can transcend linear time, or is waiting for a certain planetary alignment or . . .
As you can see, there are countless reasons why it hasn't overtly harmed us. But there is evidence from which the inference can be drawn that a program of some form of genetic engineering is being conducted. Colonization? Integration? Isn't it time we found out? Assume for a moment that I am correct and there is evidence of a threat. How can any one of us ignore the implications? Is our species so "drugged" as to already have conceded its sovereignty?
2. How can we win any battle against such superior .alien' technology? We do not even know what "it" is, so how can we defeat "it" or even protect ourselves against "it?" Also isn't the CIA, NSA, FBI, DIA, NRO too powerful to go up against. Aren't our enemies too strong?
Our only enemy is apathy, ignorance, and fear. Everything else is technology and with any technology there is always a virus. We are our own enemy. Once we transcend apathy, obtain information, and confront fear, the battle is won. All else is details. If only 50% of the experiencers and only 50% of the UFO eyewitnesses come forward when called upon, a movement would be initiated that would indeed be very difficult to slow down, let alone stop. The only thing needed is a CAUS to support and an individual act of supreme sacrifice on behalf of that CAUS. People need a place to go when they venture out of the closet.
3. Shouldn't we conduct ourselves from a position of love and understanding rather than from the fear-based allegation of an invasion?
Of CAUS, but love for our species and our brother and sister humans. Are we to send out loving and kind thoughts to the virus that produces AIDS? Or the bacteria that CAUSes infections? How many of us would send out loving thoughts while being mugged or raped? I suggest that when there is evidence of an attack, our first reaction should be to defend ourselves rather than embracing our attacker.
The focus of the last fifty years has been on the vehicle, the object, the UFO. This focus has not brought us any closer to learning the truth. It's time for a new strategy. Its time to look behind the curtain and inside the UFO - to the intelligence that controls it. There is at least one life form / intelligence interacting with our species. Presently, its origin is unimportant. It is here with us now. And one aspect of it poses a threat - a danger that we can no longer ignore.
