SENATOR MARCO RUBIO ON UNIDENTIFIED AERIAL PHENOMENON THIS SUNDAY ON CBS 60 MINUTES

A Newsweek Report

Media Alert

Toronto  [ZNN] ZlandCommunications has learned Newsweek is reporting that Senator Marco Rubio will appear on CBS 60 Minutes this Sunday to discuss UNIDENTIFIED AERIAL PHENOMENON. 

After just days of anticipation - following the US Inspector General's memo directing an examination of the Pentagon's now infamous UFO investigations - Rubio may well spell out what the media and the public need to know about UFOs. 

Rubio is the Co-Chair of the powerful Senate Select Committee on Intelligence now spear-heading an investigation of UFOs through the office of the Director of National Intelligence.

Newsweek excerpt:

"Senator Marco Rubio believes the truth is out there and he wants to get past the UFO jokes to make sure the national security of the United States isn't threatened in any way, he told Newsweek.

"Dozens of men and women we have entrusted with the defense of our country are telling us about encounters with unidentified aircraft with capabilities we do not fully understand," Rubio said in exclusive comments ahead of a 60 Minutes interview that will air this weekend. "We cannot allow the stigma of UFO's to keep us from seriously investigating these encounters."

UFOs, long dismissed and relegated to movies about aliens visiting earth and breathless message board posts, have begun to shed the farce label in recent years after the release of footage of high-profile U.S. military encounters with aircraft of unknown origin."

This appearance on 60 Minutes by Senator Rubio could represent the final nail in the coffin of the 75 year-long UFO cover-up that has plagued the US military industrial complex, prolonged the suppression of exotic technologies and hid the fact the Earth is being visited by craft of unknown origin.

YOUR CHANCE TO HAVE YOUR SAY

THE NEW ERA OF DISCLOSURE

ZlandCommunications had established itself as a leading force in the distribution of news on the UAP/ET DISCLOSURE ISSUE in Canada. 

ZNN’s global reach is also on the rise.  ZNN publications are read in an array of countries in Latin America, Eastern Europe, the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

ZNN’s goal is to increase the awareness of this crucial global issue by involving its readers. 

In this publication ZNN is asking for direct feedback from its readership about this goal.

TODAY’S PACE and CHANGE OF UAP NEWS 

The rate and high quality of the news emanating from spokespersons in the US SENATE, former military intelligence officials, the Pentagon, the US NAVY and the Office of the Inspector General has signalled a new era in the realm of political disclosure.

ZNN is therefore asking its readership to contribute thoughts on the kind of issues that need to be addressed in order to enhance the narrative and direction of DISCLOSURE - primarily with respect to the extreme geo-political implications of Disclosure for the human family.

HOW YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE TO ZNN

Readers are encouraged to submit their questions, suggestions and other comments about how effectively ZNN is covering the issues and how ZNN can expand its coverage in the future:

• What new directions or Disclosure issues might ZNN address moving forward?

• What do you feel are the most meaningful issues that journalists, government officials and other world leaders need to be aware of to assert the notion that humanity has the right in natural law to know about the UAP/ET phenomenon and the fact that we are not alone in the cosmos?

• Is the slow ‘drip mechanism’ of the UAP revelations since 2017 advancing or hindering the Disclosure process?

• How can the ZNN podcast - The Files of the Disclosure Agency (FDA) be more effective in covering the issues that matter most to you?

Finally. Do you have any comment on the following assertion?

Despite hiding behind fatuous claims by US intelligence and military agencies of national security restrictions, these agencies claim the ‘right’ to not only be secretive about the UAP issue, but to also lie about it. 

Readers are invited to enter their contributions in the COMMENT section below or send contributions to zland@sympatico.ca. 

YOUR COMMENTS and

QUESTIONS ARE VALUED.

CNN, Politico and others cover US Inspector General Memo on UAP

Government oversight of Pentagon's handling of UFOs extends the New Era of UAP Disclosure

Media Alert

Toronto [ZNN] ZlandCommunications has learned that CNN, one of mainstream media's most dominant cable news outlets, has published news about a jaw-dropping memo by the US Inspector General. The memo appears to set the stage for an examination of the Pentagon’s management of UAP investigations. 

The distribution list in the memo is a dramatic who's-who of the highest levels of US military and intelligence departments; including the Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. 

The CNN Report [Excerpt]

“The Department of Defense's watchdog is set to examine how the Pentagon has handled reports of UFOs, which the department refers to as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena.

The investigation from the department's inspector general was announced in a letter Monday to Pentagon leadership and signed by Randolph R. Stone, assistant inspector general for evaluations. ‘The objective of this evaluation is to determine the extent to which the DoD has taken actions regarding Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP),’"

Why is the Memo Important?

• The Inspector General's memo represents yet another departure in practice - if not policy - by upper level bureaucrats to examined UAP investigations by a US military agency. This level of official oversight by a governmental organization is rare. It signals a radically new and overt portrayal of the UAP issue in the public domain. 
• Furthermore, this oversight tactic by the office of the Inspector General  appears to acknowledge the UAP matter as a priority concern at the highest levels of military governance in the United States of America.
• This departure from an era of silence and denial among government officials is a clear and significant about-face. Just five years ago no government official or agency would dare utter the acronyms UFO or UAP in public.
• The US Inspector General’s memo is yet another indication that Ralph Blumenthal, Leslie Kean and Helene Cooper - in co-authoring the New York Times article Glowing Auras and Black Money: The Pentagon's Mysterious U.F.O. Program - they started an avalanche of public access to unacknowledged UFO/UAP information. We are now witnessing this avalanche play-out almost weekly.

Questions? Yes. Answers, maybe...

Considering that the last several months has seen an on-going series of political activities in the US Senate, statements by former and current government officials, Senior Naval officials and Navy pilots on the UAP phenomenon - there is every reason for observers to expect a continuation of the ‘drip-drip’ of UAP revelations. This has been predicted by the UAP research community for months.

Are government officials who inherited the 70 year-long UFO COVER-UP now transitioning or perhaps acquiescing to more powerful sources within the US government who want the drips to continue? 

Is mainstream media ready for the BIG REVEAL? 

Are other international nation states, who have been fully aware of the UAP problem for decades, knocking on America’s rusting door of secrecy demanding, “If you don’t tell the world, we will.”

The US government and its military has always acted in its own self interests. 

The only answer to these questions is - we will just have to wait and see.

US Select Senate Committee on Intelligence Serious about UFOs

Media Alert 

Senator Mark Warner joins Senate colleagues in the UFO Narrative

Toronto [ZNN] US Senator Mark Warner, Chair of the powerful and influential Select Senate Committee on Intelligence has now teamed-up with other US Senate colleagues to find out more about the UFO issue. This signals a notable transition in attitude in the US Senate. When did this transition begin and where is it destined to go?

Senator Mark Warner

The coming forward by yet another US Senator on the UAP issue represents expanding involvement by elected officials on the UFO matter. 

As far back as 10 years ago, no US elected official would have ever publicly risked their political career by engaging this politically damaging matter. This has now changed.

When did this Transition begin?

As far back as 2017 as reported by ZNN - the New York Times flooded the world of journalism with a confirmed watershed of news about a Pentagon program to investigate UFOs funded by a $22 million initiative triggered by then Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. The program ran from 2007 to 2012, although many still believe a similar program under a different designation is still in operation. 

The New York Times continues to uncover the on-going saga of how the US Navy began loosening its strangle-hold on the 75 year old truth embargo - better known as the UFO cover-up.

New York Times writers like Ralph Blumenthal, Helene Cooper, Leslie Kean and Bryan Bender at Politico have lead the charge about UFO truth. More mainstream outlets are taking the leaks and revelations more seriously - coming forward as never before. More on these sources below.

Where is this Transition Destined to go?

The series of events continues to this day. Key Senators and former intelligence officials have the UFO issue in their sights. And mainstream media is very interested.

As reported by ZNN on March 22, 2021 - during an interview featuring Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo, former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe clearly demonstrated that the UFO issue has become one of the hottest but under-reported issues in US politics.

Senator Marco Rubio

The same Fox News anchor has done it again by questioning Senator Marco Rubio - Co-Chair of the  Select Senate Committee on Intelligence on the UAP issue. 

Rubio - as has been his insistence from the beginning, stated the issue needs to be investigated to determine what category of craft are entering our airspace as well as engaging military aircraft, destroyers and aircraft carriers.

What might come next?

From where most UFO observers sit, and considering the rapid acceleration of revelations about new videos authenticated by US military officials - anything might occur next.

One thing is for certain, the 75 years of trekking down the well-trodden trail of tiresome conspiracy theories and needless secrecy seems to be coming to an end. Could Senate or Congressional Hearings on UFOs come next?

While US elected officials lineup at the water-trough to assess leaks about UFOs, it has been revealed that US Navy private briefings have been held with Senators. Understandably these briefings have caused a stir.

Leaks are now the order of the day. Bursting forward - not dripping like the dribble so familiar just 10 years ago - the basements of governance are filling up quickly. One can almost hear the rising water gush into the quiet offices of US Senators, the White House, the Pentagon, the CIA, the FBI and The Five Eyes (FIORC) 

And of course, there is the loud hush among US Air Force officials. Unlike US Navy pilots who have been given permission to talk freely about their UFO encounters, muzzled Air Force pilots still cannot talk publicly about their’s. The USAF remains soggily silent through this entire deluge.

[ED. NOTE - It's no shocker the US Air Force already knows their Navy cousins are not just treading water by revealing the montage of UFO/UAP footage  - fully realizing Air Force pipes will soon spring a leak.] 

The Medium is the Message

This rapidly unfolding scenario is no longer mindless bait for upper level media decision-makers to ignore. Is it now time for them to strap on their rubber boots and wade into it before they're swept away by their own indolence and self-imposed ignorance? 

The medium of brave decision-making at the management levels of Fox News, Politico, the NY Times and a healthy variety of UK news outlets is the message to the indolent - "Get to it". 

At this juncture, whether or not the requirement by the Select Senate Committee on Intelligence to require the US Director of National Intelligence provide the Senate committee full access to UAP data will become the dam-buster of UFO secrecy is an unknown. 

For now, 'leaked' documents, authenticated videos, private briefings by senior US Navy officials with US Senators, media testimony by the likes of Marco Rubio, John Ratcliffe and Mark Warner and whatever else pops up in the interim will more than suffice.

At this rate it is possible for former Clinton Chief of Staff John Podesta to re-emerge on the UFO question as he did at the Washington National Press Club in 2015.

Each of these elements is a significant and stand alone indicator that something very big is about to happen - not only in the sky - but in the waters of change. 

Is the media prepared for it when the dam breaks?

HOW FAST IS UFO DISCLOSURE MOVING IN THE MAINSTREAM NOW?

Report on UFOs by former Director of US National Intelligence JOHN RATCLIFFE

MEDIA ALERT 

John Ratcliffe former US DNI

Toronto - [ZNN] According to recent news reports by major media outlets yet another series of broadsides about UFOs has been launched to challenge the silence and doubt surrounding this strange phenomenon. 

Since December of 2017, CNBC and POLITICO's Bryan Bender in addition to the bench-mark article in the New York Times by Ralph Blumenthal, Leslie Kean and Helene Cooper - a steady flow of undeterred US officials and committed journalists continue to emerge in case after case - all in favour of the UFO reality. Media ridicule - vanished.

Now, John Ratcliffe - former Director of US National Intelligence has taken his place in the growing line of intelligence officials who have acknowledged that the US government is taking UFOs seriously. 

Ratcliffe joins these high profile advocates of the UFO reality:

• Christopher K. Mellon former Deputy Secretary of Defence for Intelligence, 
• Luis Elizondo former Pentagon UFO investigator,
• John Podesta - former Clinton White House Chief of Staff, 
• Hal Puthoff noted physicist and CEO of EarthTech and, 
• Daniel P. Sheehan solicitor and Director of the Romero Institute who litigated the Watergate and Pentagon Papers legal action.

While other mainstream news outlets languish in playing catch-up - this week Fox News, Newsweek, Business Insider, Ugolini and the View From the Wing have joined this next barrage of coverage of the UFO issue.

The Fox News interview below adds a pointed and sharp edge to this next barrage of news on UFOs.

 

Maria Bartiromo of Fox News began her interview with John Ratcliffe former US Director of National Intelligence by saying he has seen more intelligence than any other US official - other than the President.

However, the big news story hit when Bartiromo bluntly asked John Ratcliffe - "I want to ask you about UFOs." Ratcliffe's response - totally unanticipated.

Unyielding News Compilation - UPDATE

Breaking UAP News Hits All-Time High

Media Alert

UPDATE FEBRUARY 25, 2021 NOTE: As mentioned in the first  rendering of this Media Alert, the rapidity and timing of multiple UAP reports are on the increase. We have added the most recent UAP incident.

Toronto - [ZNN] An all-time high has been achieved in the number and quality of news items reported about the phenomenon known as unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP) - their technology, military encounters and the possibility of their off-world origins. The rapidity and timing of multiple UAP assessment reports are consequential and certainly not coincidental. 

While becoming evident that US government agencies such as the Pentagon and the US Navy are no longer holding back specific revelations, the long-held notion of TOP SECRET is fading fast.

In addition Chris Mellon former Assistant Deputy Secretary of Defense for Intelligence - confirms unclassified reports on UAP could be headed for a Senate Committee. 

Even a former Director of the CIA has come forward with his position that we may be dealing with other life-forms - a postulate neither uttered nor anticipated by even the most progressive American state official.

Below for the reader's benefit is a brief compilation of what ZlandCommunications has recently learned on this front.

Harvard Scientist Breaks the ET Bonds of Earthly Belief

 Astronomer Avi Loeb Says Aliens Have Visited, and He’s Not Kidding (Scientific American)

Media Alert

Harvard's Avi Loeb - Getty Image

Toronto [ZNN] Breaking through the chatter about Extraterrestrials is difficult at the best of times. But a Harvard University professor explains his revolutionary hypothesis—and calls out what he sees as a crisis in science.

Can this professor become the needed wedge to bring the discussion of an Extraterrestrial presence to the forefront in science and the mainstream media? 

Is he following in the censured footsteps of the late Harvard professor Dr. John E. Mack - Head of Psychiatry? 

Avi Loeb may be unaware of Dr. Mack's Pulitzer Prize status and his books on the alien abduction phenomenon - Loeb has perhaps naively entered the ET realm by questioning and challenging everyone to consider the ET hypothesis. Mack did it and look where it got him.

The dismissiveness of the media and those associated with the skeptic's morass surrounding UFOs have had their day - only because it's easy to sling the mud of blind criticism rather than delving into the evidence.

Loeb, as a scientist has taken the risk to embrace the evidence of Extraterrestrials and artfully duck the mud that has been thrown his way.

 

Loeb's book "Extraterrestrial - the First Signs of Life Beyond Earth" has raised the ire of critics, brighten the day for ET advocates and made colleagues look the other way when he jogs by them on his morning regime with birds, ducks and the fresh air of his thoughts on this matter. 

"My message is that something is wrong with the scientific community today in terms of its health. Too many scientists are now mostly motivated by ego, by getting honors and awards, by showing their colleagues how smart they are. They treat science as a monologue about themselves rather than a dialogue with nature. They build echo chambers using students and postdocs who repeat their mantras so that their voice will be louder and their image will be promoted."

Although Loeb's work does not yet address the serious political implications of the UFO cover-up as some describe it - nor does it address what is currently transpiring in the SELECT SENATE COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE on the UAP matter - if taken as rebuttal to governmental close mindedness and denial - Loeb's work has engaged the scientific community in the off-world reflection - we are not alone in the cosmos and never have been.

There is every reason to believe Avi Loeb is onto something as an academic - brave - trend-breaking - audacious - yes. ZNN's only critique? The ET reality bell has already been rung seven decades ago and he is only hearing it now.

For whom the bell...? Never mind.
