ruling financial aristocracy of the world and at the expense of an enslaved humanity); the providential rendezvous in 1954 at Holloman Air Force Base with the Betelgeuse greys resulting in the first treaty between the U.S. and an alien empire; the construction of joint U.S.—alien bases in underground facilities at area S—4 ("Dark Side of the Moon") and Groom Lake ("Dreamland") in Nevada; in Dulce and Los Alamos, New Mexico; Colorado, Utah and Arizona; the formation of the Army secret alien security project known as the National Reconnaissance Organization and its enforcement team, Delta Force; and the covert cooperation between the superpowers in regulating information re the alien problem as well as implementing joint projects culminating in masked lunar and Martian colonization years in advance of the "official" efforts. At this point in the familiar recitation of events, there is a calculated percentage of those papers held in the hands of the present readership which are literally or figuratively flying through the air: "Factoids!" we hear the predictable protest of a certain inevitable number, "the same incantation of factoids that can all be summed up in the 'suspect' Cooper material, perhaps the earlier John Lear data..." And the term "factoid" most likely comes trippingly to the mental tongue from the pages of Penthouse where this type of disdainful writeoff was first popularly formulated...i.e. the Nov. 1990 issue in which the sum of Cooper-style allegations (including the Bush/Zapata Oil operations in drug traffic for the CIA as a secret means of financing alien—related projects) was neatly embedded in a pseudo-—contest soliciting the readership's own pet "conspiracy theories". Penthouse is of course the sister publication to OMNI, the same OMNI which seems to reflect with such curiously—delicate consistency the subtlest shifts in covert government policy regarding the pop—cultural projection of UFO attitudes—for OMNI and Penthouse when considered as an editorial whole, have certainly done a most interesting about—face, a cleverly executed pirouette without forewarning or fanfare about the pylon—marking of the early '90s, in which the policy of a decade was suddenly reversed with neither bang nor whimper. With no hand-signal showing from the careering OMN/—bus executing the breathtaking turn, the tone of discredit and ridicule constantly characterizing editorial attitude as projected through its monthly UFO feature suddenly took a whole other tack, tested first in the middle lane of Penthouse when that weathervane of patriarchal wind-shift published an uncharacteristically straightforward, sober treatise on the subject, i.e. the article "Exposed: Pentagon's UFO Secret" in the Sept. 1990 issue—following which, after that first pioneer probe, there proceeded a sudden salvo of serious features in the very next OMNI issue, unprecedentedly devoted as a whole to the topic of UFOs, possible government-alien intercourse and the casebook for cosmic abductions! One can only appreciate the profundity of the shift when one reflects that less than a year ago this same publication hired a former R.R. White—house speechwriter (Peggy Noonan, merely bylined in the article and not identified as such—the T—Bird's own staff researcher having exhumed her background) to discredit Linda Howe's landmark book on cattle mutilations, An Alien Harvest (cf. Book Reviews in coming issues of the T-Bird, where this as well as the ludicrous OMNJ article are discussed). Now, but a few short months later, this slide down a slope of plunging decolletage culminating in a total if unannounced alteration, the December aAAD Aaa: Considering what we ought to know by now about the major media (if only because the reputed "factoid" king Mr. Cooper has been trying to point up what should be obvious, and provoke consciousness—at—large to draw the necessary conclusions), it must strike the readership as more than interestingly coincidental that the official valve of middle-class homeostasis, Time-Life, has been literally pushing its Occult series in an unprecedently insistent campaign, against the initially lethargic mass of a middle-class sensibility all but disabused of these same topics owing to a diametrically opposite thrust from the Luce syndication but a decade or two earlier—pushing so hard indeed as to have apparently overcome the inertia, a late—building momentum seeming to have gathered behind the tidal purchasing—promotion which their ceaseless exposure self-obviously projected. 119 T-Bird_Vs_The_Flying_saucers.htm 1990 OMNTissue...
