Hillary Clinton’s office responds to UFO question

News magazine Mother Jones asked for Hilary Clinton’s stance on UFO disclosure to include in a story about why UFO activists are excited about her possible presidency. Her office seemed reticent to respond with anything substantive, but they did respond, and, among other things, their statement claims: “The Truth is Out There.”

The Mother Jones UFO story is titled: “ETs for Hillary: Why UFO Activists Are Excited About Another Clinton Presidency: Alien enthusiasts think Hillary could blow open Washington’s biggest cover-up.” The story includes interviews with two “exopolitics” activists seeking UFO disclosure, Stephen Bassett and Michael Salla. Mother Jones defines “exopolitics” as “a term for the intersection of terrestrial politics and extraterrestrial beings.”

Salla, who Mother Jones describes as an academic turned UFO researcher, says, “I think Hillary would play a positive role in getting this information out.”

“I think that Hillary definitely is much more the pro-disclosure candidate, where as someone like Jeb Bush is basically status quo,” Salla continued.

There are a few reasons Salla feels this way. One is that the man who will most likely chair Hillary’s campaign, John Podesta, who also served as Bill Clinton’s former chief of staff, has recently tweeted about UFOs.

Podesta’s most recent job has been as a senior advisor for President Obama. However, he has recently stepped down, presumably, to run Hillary’s campaign. Podesta is a well known UFO enthusiast and advocate for the freedom of information. During the period of his leaving the Obama White House he tweeted that he felt his “biggest failure of 2014” was “once again not securing the disclosure of the UFO files.” He included the hashtag: “#thetruthisstilloutthere.”

While the conventional wisdom is that Podesta’s tweet was tongue in cheek, Bassett told Mother Jones, “It was a big frickin’ deal.”

“Someone who has been an adviser to the president of the United States, and is leaving his job, and it’s already been announced publicly that he is going to be a key adviser to the heir apparent to the White House, the de facto candidate, does not, on the day he leaves the White House, put out a tweet about UFOs. He’s inviting hundreds of articles to be written about this tweet,” explained Bassett.

Mother Jones says they asked Podesta for a comment, but he did not respond.

Bassett, who claims to be the only registered UFO lobbyist, gave Mother Jones another reason why he is excited about the possibility of another Clinton presidency. On Bassett’s website, ParadigmResearchGroup.org, he has information regarding the Clinton’s interactions with Laurance Rockefeller regarding his interest in UFOs. In the 1990’s Rockefeller funded research into the paranormal.

One document in particular refers to Hillary’s office being the recipient of Rockefeller’s requests to look further into the UFO topic. Another warns Hillary, prior to a meeting she had with Rockefeller on his ranch in Wyoming, that Rockefeller will most likely bring up the UFO topic. A picture showing Hillary walking with Rockefeller on his ranch while she is holding a book about the philosophical implications of extraterrestrial life appears to confirm that life on other planets, and the possibility that they could be visiting here, likely was a topic of conversation during that visit.

Salla feels that Hillary Clinton running for president is another sign that UFO disclosure is near, and he says President Obama’s recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live is yet another recent indication that extraterrestrial secrets are being revealed.

According to Mother Jones, Salla believes that humans are in contact with 17 different extraterrestrial civilizations. So when he heard the president say that aliens maintain strict control over us, he took it a little differently than most.

“Obama said things that shouldn’t just be assumed to be throwaway lines. A senior adviser a month before said he was frustrated by a lack of progress and now you have Obama on Jimmy Kimmel saying that. I think it’s worth raising the question,” says Salla.

While Podesta was not interested in answering Mother Jones’ questions regarding this story, Hillary’s campaign did. Mother Jones says they asked for Hillary’s stance on UFO disclosure, and a spokesman responded via email. “Our non-campaign has a strict policy of not commenting on extraterrestrial activity,” Nick Merrill wrote. “BUT, the Truth Is Out There.”

Will Hillary search for military secrets regarding UFOs if she becomes president, like her husband says he did before her? Will Podesta help lead the Clintons to the UFO disclosure pot of gold some believe they have been desperately searching for? Exciting, isn’t it? Only time will tell, but rest assured, whatever happens next, OpenMinds.tv will be there, ready to bring you the news expeditiously.
