“Participation in North American democracy is largely based on the belief that citizens should never be released into the world until they have been properly sedated.” This quote, taken from an unknown convocation address, not only magnifies the state of denial and ignorance in which a massive proportion of North Americans live; it is also an historical testament to the lies we are all prepared to accept for the sake of convenience.

 Digest that for a moment before we proceed – because, quite frankly, it doesn’t get much better.

No UFOs or elephants allowed in the dining room
Few issues are as stigmatized or ridiculed as the UFO/ET issue. Its reality is marginalized – its existence, as a viable mode of reasoning – that we are not alone in the universe – is disallowed. For those unfamiliar with UFOs, beginning around 1947 or perhaps earlier the UFO/ET issue burst onto the scene.

The matter since then has been investigated, scrutinized, ridiculed, stigmatized, written about and tossed around like a piece of red-hot coal for over 60 years.

Generally, world governments, their military and intelligence agencies have managed to ignore, cover-up and otherwise cauterize this issue from the consciousness of just about every politically astute human being on the planet.

Richard M. Dolan, one of the UFO research community’s finest authors, puts it best in his seminal work UFOs and the National Security State – Chronology of a Cover-up 1941 to 1973, “… the analysis [of the UFO issue] leaves us with the distinct impression of the ET hypothesis as the elephant in the dining room that no one would acknowledge.”

As it stands today, in the year 2014 the state of affairs in the UFO/ET issue will one day be looked back upon as a simplistic, naïve and perhaps awkwardly nascent search for what was before our eyes all the while. However for the time being humanity remains anesthetized to the political and anthropological imperatives-of-knowing within the UFO/ET reality.

Political spin-doctors and media schemers administer this seemingly harmless series of daily sedatives courtesy of our government, religious, scientific and educational institutions. The dosage – in a perfect drip formulation – removes the need for any belief in or consideration of the UFO/ET issue. A faint echo – as we spiral into our drug-induced siesta – it whispers – ‘thou shalt not believe in UFOs.’

History will show we were too blind, well sedated and collectively too stubborn to see what is happening to us along the way. Complicit with our handlers in the so-called democratic way of life we pretend to be part of, this collective ignorance spends its time around every kitchen table, in every newsroom and university lecture hall on the planet – ‘shalt not even try to understand what the UFO issue really means.’

But give your head a shake – let’s look at who and what we are and have become as a result of this politically induced sedation – it might explain how and why we have reached this point in our addiction.

All too familiar forms of sedation
Knowingly and in some cases, wantonly, we choose to eradicate a species of animals or plant life virtually by the hour. We permit and otherwise turn an infected blind-eye to the fact that every 45 seconds a child dies of malaria in Africa (W.H.O. Statistic) while we ensure the existence of an economic system that hordes the distribution of wealth and medical care into the bulging pockets of the ‘already rich’.

We build weapons platforms in space, stuff fossil fuels into the mouths of any machine capable of work, remaining oblivious to what comes out the other end. We deify celebrities beyond our own God, (movie theatres have become the churches for the worship of strange gods with lipstick, make-up, guns that carry the ammunition of fear and male homo sapiens with bizarre levels of testosterone) shall we go on – perhaps not, lest we identify too closely with one of these churches or another form of self-medication.

Lest those who are more familiar with the UFO/ET issue and its huge body of research conclude this assessment is too harsh – peer for a moment at our plight for the full Disclosure of the facts surrounding the ET presence. At each turn, as we inch forward and even after small Disclosure victories – a member of the sedated, be it media, government or even one of our own – manages to snuff out the light.

The only redeeming attributes we hold dear are our collective, internally-driven courage to relentlessly seek the truth but more powerfully, celebrate the reality that somehow we have been inoculated against the insidious vaccine forced upon most in a world who are consumed by the dumb-down messages of politics, religion, education, science and the mass media. These attributes just may be our deliverance.

Sadly though and still, a pathetic majority of humanity sits and stares at the passing parade of human events – hoping for that one really nice float at the end of the procession that will ease our conscience because we’ve sat on our hands for so long and at times covered our eyes and ears in the hope – ‘there must be something better coming soon.’

Like the perfect social sedative, indolence and inaction have compelled us to become inert; much like a deer frozen in the headlights of an on-coming car – knowing it must not stay to witness what might come next but is still, petrified and captivated by the sheer awe and magnitude of the ensuing collision.

Somehow all of this may hit a little too close to home for some.

These all too familiar forms of sedation are so cutely insidious – their administration is like a mosquito bite – irritating but soon forgotten when another itch takes its place. So – in a way we may not be totally to blame for our ignorance and inert posture because our handlers are so good at sedation.

But does this remove all culpability? No.

But it certainly explains why and how we have become so cleverly mesmerized by the sedative. We appear to have little time to ponder the rational argument and the deluge of documentation that the UFO /ET reality is as real as the air that we breathe and that sustains us.

When the sedation wears off
There is another murmur about the UFO/ET reality-question residing in the desk drawers of our handlers. ET is here and they seem to be, for whatever strange reason, willing to, wanting and waiting to help when the sedation finally wears off or an enlightened nurse enters our chambers to turn off the drip. Luckily, our handlers – in the midst of their own sedated stupor – have left behind clues about this fundamental truth.

This, in the final analysis could render them powerless and their sedatives a mere placebo. Let’s start with a simple piece of the truth or misdirection depending on your perspective or one’s reactionary tendency to disbelieve the written word. As we all know it’s hard to tell the difference these days. In a 1952 CIA web site document entitled “Flying Saucers” it states,

“Pursuant to your request for overall evaluation of the “flying saucers” and associated reports, the following is pertinent. Notwithstanding the foregoing… facts, so long as a series of reports remains “unexplainable” (interplanetary aspects and alien origin not being thoroughly excluded from consideration) caution requires that intelligence continue coverage of the subject. It is recommended that CIA surveillance of the subject matter, in coordination with proper authorities… be continued. It is strongly urged, however, that no indication of CIA interest or concern reach the press or public, in view of their probable alarmist tendencies to accept such interest as confirmatory of the soundness of ´unpublished facts´ in the hands of the U.S. government.” [EDWARD TAUS]

Choose to accept it or not, but as part of the American CIA web site this and other similar documentation cannot be dismissed. Many documents similar to this one, fully explain to those who are attentive to the UFO/ET matter – the how, when and why covert operations will be conducted and the strength of the sedative administered. Thousands more documents exist that we may never see – all bearing the same sniff of sedation.

Are we to believe that since 1952 we have been so well sedated that anything significant said about the UFO/ET issue would be so soaked in doubt and tainted by disbelief or disinformation that we are willing to disregard it outright because nothing, no-thing, can be trusted as a representation of reality when it comes to reaching some understanding that we may be being visited by off-world civilizations?

Any UFO researcher, politician or media journalist who cannot see that this CIA memo clearly indicates there is very good reason to believe that a recommendation was put in place by the American Central Intelligence Agency to obfuscate the UFO issue decades ago, and, who fails to investigate it in public, is either incompetent or stupid (in the true sense of the word – stooped with eyes cast down) or is part of the same obfuscation process which originated the memo in the first place.

They may also be more heavily sedated than the rest of us.

Where does the truth reside today?
Some maintain the truth sits in the bottom drawer of the sedators – a powerful elite. Others feel the truth has been embedded in our own cosmic sub-consciousness by our visitors eons ago and it is only now – as the sedation wears thin and we awake from our slumber, some of us have actually begun to catch a small glimpse of the truth.

The only way that drawer will be wrenched open is by a combination of persuasive Extraterrestrial intrusions, an amplified public awareness and a media that wakes from its slumber. The truth, being as pervasive as we know it is, also resides in the collective consciousness of those who diligently toil to over-throw secrecy and a pale government-entity that has somehow usurped democracy while the media remains numbed by the glitz of the trivial.

It is not surprising then that many of us feel we have been so cleverly lied to for so long. As a community we do not know what to believe any more. This has been the success of the sedators – to keep us thoroughly confused about the UFO/ET issue, keeping it cleverly hidden in the simple light of day under a canvas of secrecy.

Like a tarpaulin covering a car, it yields to the sedated mind a silhouette that tells us ‘yes it is a vehicle’. We see it before our eyes yet we are unable to discern details of its year, make, colour and model or whether it can be driven forwards or backwards; a very frustrating situation for our purportedly sophisticated intellectual human acuity.

Especially when we are being told it’s an elephant or… nothing at all.

Stunning Access to Information requests reveals five documents – Canadian government fully aware of UFOs in Canadian airspace

MORE BREAKING NEWS ON THIS PRESS RELEASE

[ZNN UPDATE Nov 29.2013: ZNN has discovered new information within the NORAD Secret Status Event Report discussed and shown in this press release. One line in the NORAD log indicates the CF-18s actually did make contact with an unknown. See ZNN Nov 29 COMMENTS below for the complete UPDATE.]

Press Release – For Immediate Distribution

Toronto [ZNN] ZlandCommunications has been successful in using the Canadian Access to Information Act to obtain first-hand data from the Department of National Defence in Ottawa indicating that Canadian NORAD CF-18 jets were scrambled to intercept ‘unknown tracks’ that had entered Canadian airspace in an unauthorized manner as recently as 2001.

ZlandCommunications has also been successful in obtaining Canadian government documents that indicate correspondence, internal memos and discussions by joint intelligence committees suggesting Canadian government officials were concerned about UFOs and were involved in discussing attempts to keep information from the public about UFOs. Ministers of Defence on at least two separate occasions attempted to explain government policy and activity concerning UFOs.

One joint intelligence committee memo suggests that plans be made should a UFO land on Canadian territory; while another clearly states that Canada should follow the lead of the US Air Force to keep information about UFOs from the public.

Each of the documents below not only describes government UFO documentation, but they each specify actual ‘incidents’ demonstrating that the UFO phenomenon has been assessed, analyzed and sequestered at high levels of intelligence and military authority in Canada.

[Ed. Note: The entire 89 page AIA information document obtained by ZNN includes air traffic controller notations on UFO reports, RCMP officers’ reports, tracking notations and citizen reports on UFOs. These are beyond the scope of this press release however they are available upon request.]

WHAT SPECIFICALLY HAS ZNN UNCOVERED?

ZNN has uncovered and acquired five discrete government and NORAD documents.

Three of these documents originate from government archives. One document has been obtained by ZNN through the Access to Information Act. The final document is correspondence from the Hon. Peter MacKay former Canadian Minister of National Defence to the news director of  ZlandCommunications.

None of the following documents require authentication – as each is original. Details of the repository of over 9500 Canadian UFO related government files is available upon request.

WHY IS THIS FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST BY ZNN SIGNIFICANT?

As stated in Chapter 2 of the JANAP (Joint Army Navy Air Force Publication) an agreement between the US and Canada, little doubt exists that the unauthorized incursion of unidentified flying objects into Canadian airspace is of national security concern to both countries.

Communication Instructions for Reporting Vital Intelligence Sightings (CIRVIS) list unidentified flying objects among the eight categories of vital intelligence to be reported.

The Canadian documents listed below, in addition to the now de-classified NORAD SECRET EVENT STATUS report in the possession of ZNN, indicate the Canadian government has been and remains vitally concerned about the unauthorized incursion of unidentified flying objects within Canadian airspace – so much so that highly trained pilots, the expansive technical and radar resources of NORAD, in addition to NORAD’s most sophisticated aircraft – CF-18s – are all employed to chase and intercept unknown craft at sub-sonic speeds at 35,000 feet with little or no reported success. 

[Ed. Note: It is note-worthy that Minister MacKay in his correspondence to ZNN – after a less-than-thorough examination of the facts and questions submitted to him by ZNN – attempts to explain these event sightings to ZNN as migratory geese or flocks of birds. ZNN is unaware of any species of ornithoids capable of flying at 35,000 feet at over 400 to 500 mph.

All of the above raises serious and unacknowledged questions.

• What command structure is in place to authenticate and mobilize a decision to chase UFOs?
• What reporting mechanisms are in place to inform or brief elected officials on these events?
• Why is none of this national security information ever scrutinized by media or members of the Opposition in the Canadian House of Commons?
• What kind of craft are able to elude NORAD’s most sophisticated aircraft?

These and other questions bring into sharp focus substantial historical, on-going and covert discussions and documentation about the UFO phenomenon among Canadian government agencies – none of which has ever been openly addressed by bureaucrats, military officials or elected representatives.

In this context, and in the opinion of ZNN research staff, these discussions and the available documentation are so substantive that it may represent sufficient evidence – if not proof – that:

a) Unidentified flying objects are real;

b) Both Canada and the US have put in place mechanisms for tracking, reporting on, and pursuing unidentified flying objects;

c) The Canadian and American governments consider these objects as authentic.

d) No attempt has been made by government, NORAD or Canadian Air Force officials to inform the general public about these concerns.

Conclusion: Factual evidence exists that the UFO phenomenon is of sufficient authenticity as to be of a real and on-going concern to the Canadian government and its joint NORAD operations with the USA.

The second reason why this freedom of information request is significant is that it represents an initial step in raising the need for a serious, on-going and in-depth investigation into what these objects may be and why the Canadian government and its military are so reluctant to carry on an open dialogue within the House of Commons, with the media and with the citizenry of Canada.

It remains the position of ZlandCommunications that the historical and on-going government documentation and military activity – both domestic and international – is sufficient evidence to launch either co-terminus or independent investigations by media and government over-sight agencies to assess shadow-government or intell-agency(s) complicity in covert operations that deny the public its democratic rights with respect to the nature of the UFO issue and extraterrestrial interaction on the planet.

Finally – this freedom of information request is significant because – as seen in ZNN’s correspondence to then Minister of Defence the Hon. Peter MacKay – the Minister avoided answering 9 of the 10 questions put to him by ZNN.

This lack of transparency surrounding a national security issue suggests that either Canadian government officials are totally ignorant of the facts surrounding the UFO matter or – they and the infrastructure of government and its military have something to hide with respect to the existence of UFOs.

It further suggests that members of the Official Opposition and leaders of other parties in the House of Commons demand answers from both the Prime Minister of Canada and the current Minister of Defence the Hon. Rob Nicholson and the former Minister of Defence the Hon. Peter G. MacKay – not only about the correspondence and documents listed below but about:

1) The Canadian government’s position on the issue of unidentified flying objects;

2) NORAD’s records outlining the frequency with which Canadian jets are scrambled to track, intercept or identify craft of unknown origin, and;

3) Seeking answers to the 9 other questions put to the Minister in the ZNN correspondence to him.

To date, the mainstream press has remained silent on this front – avoiding any in-depth investigation – despite the evidence that government agencies and the military take the UFO matter very seriously.

NORAD SECRET Status Events

The following pages are part of an 89 page set of documents that were obtained by ZNN through the AIA (Canadian Access to Information Act). The report catalogs the scrambling of 2 CF-18’s out of COMOX AFB in British Columbia Canada in 2001 to chase three ‘unknown tracks’. It should be pointed out that during this episode – a MEDVAC (LR-35 Medical Evacuation jet) was also involved in what appears to be the visual confirmation of the “unknown tracks”.

It also should be noted that large sections of these documents have been redacted in white. Over 50% of pages one and two are redacted. Note also that within the ATC flight transcripts obtained by ZNN multiple time-segments of the activities performed by the CF-18’s have been redacted under the provision of section 15(1) of the Access to Information which states the head of a government institution may refuse to disclose information:

         (a) relating to military tactics or strategy, or relating to military exercises or operations undertaken in preparation for hostilities or in connection with the detection, prevention or suppression of subversive or hostile activities…
