As a new member of iufoc, I understand that far smarter people than me
have tried to get our public officials to give us answers to the UFO
question… We the people, with the world wide web, must first put the
FEAR of god into our “liberial media”… ABC, CBS, FOX they live on ads
and the money they get to charge for those ads… If the ufo community
considered a occupy wall street tactic, it would take military like
planning and coordination. Follow Glenn on twitter: @gwsulapas
