Colonel John Alexander & UFO Witness Amnesty

[engagedinattempting]

Retired Army Colonel John Alexander, described as "slightly scary" and linked to very scary military projects by author Jon Ronson, has proposed amnesty for military personnel previously sworn to secrecy about UFO's. This is revealed in an article by Lee Speigel for the HuffingtonPost.com 5/16/12: http://main.aol.com/2012/05/16/ufo-amnesty-sought-by-army-colonel_n_1521635.html

Alexander has asserted that no government conspiracy existed for a UFO cover-up. This is the PopularMechanics.com introduction to a 2/9/11 Q&A with Alexander:

UFO believers have linked retired Army Col. John Alexander to everything from military abductions to mind control. Now, Alexander, who served as a Green Beret in Vietnam, tells the story of the Advanced Theoretical Physics Group, an informal band of government officials who took it upon themselves to find out whether there was a secret federal UFO project. UFOs: Myths, Conspiracies, and Realities (Thomas Dunne Books, St. Martin's Press) is likely to infuriate both believers and skeptics. Alexander says there was, in the end, no government conspiracy to cover up reports on UFOs, but he also insists that enough credible UFO sightings have been documented to warrant a closer look."[...]

This is a June 17, 2007 Guardian article by Jon Ronson:

Last week the Pentagon confirmed that it has considered developing a "gay bomb", an aphrodisiac pheromone designed to make enemy forces so attracted to one another that the US could just march in and take over. In 2003, when I was writing The Men Who Stare At Goats, a book about US military craziness, I happened to meet the colonel in charge of nurturing the gay bomb proposal. His name is John Alexander, and he lives in a large house in Las Vegas filled with books by his friend Uri Geller. I found him slightly scary. He kept giving me hard looks and saying, "What's your name again?" whenever I asked him a question he didn't like.

Recently a US Air Force report co-written by the colonel was leaked. It details many of the other "non-lethal technologies" currently in covert development within military labs. Some of them make the gay bomb look positively conventional. There's the "low-frequency infrasound" which "easily penetrates most buildings and vehicles" and creates "nausea, loss of bowel control, disorientation, vomiting, potential internal organ damage and death". (The report is quite laissez-faire about its definition of the term "non-lethal".) There's the race-specific stink bomb and the chameleon camouflage suit, both of which have apparently never got off the ground because nobody can work out how to invent them, and a special pheromone that "can be used to mark target individuals and then release bees to attack them".

Then there's the prophet hologram - "the projection of the image of an ancient god over an enemy capitol whose public communications have been seized and used against it in a massive psychological operation."

Commentators have suggested that the Pentagon must be embarrassed that these crazy endeavours have come to light, but I suspect they are pleased: it makes human-rights abuses seem amusingly hare-brained as opposed to chilling. US military scientists believe it is their calling to reach out to the furthest corners of their imaginations to try these things out, and once in a while they invent something that actually works.

The Taser gun was nurtured by Alexander.

After my book was published, the colonel went on national US radio to claim that he had never met me. I was a fantasist who just pretended to meet his interviewees. In fact, I had hours of film showing me at his house. It was a stupid weapon to be levelled against me, but I suppose it just might have worked.

"Slightly scary" fella now proposes UFO witness amnesty; a "confusion to my enemies" thing from the dark side or a legit guy I don't quite get? Robin Leach (a self-described "longtime good friend" of the "Amnesty" article author Lee Speigel) adds his take on the colonel in the 2/25/11 SOTT article you'll find here:

A "UFO amnesty" could very well be a trap to entice UFO witnesses to expose themselves. Then they are not prosecuted by the official PTB but somehow have mysterious accidents befall them later. And these were just >accidents<, right?
