The former White House Chief of Staff and leader of Obama's Transition Team is writing the foreword to journalist Leslie Kean's coming book: "UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go On the Record". Podesta is lending his name to Kean's laudable CFI-effort (Coalition for Freedom of Information). Brilliant! However, not everyone is happy. At the end of an article on the Weekly Standard's website Daniel Halper insinuates that Podesta is a "conspiracy nut". Furthermore, Halper has the cheek to claim that Kean's book is laced with paranoia. We admit that we have not yet read the book, but we have valued her work in the past and expect that Kean has good sources to back up her claims. In our minds, "paranoia" means a fear that is irrational or delusional. Halper should choose his words more carefully! Especially because, when reading his article, one gets the feeling that he has limited knowledge of the powerful testimonies from scores of credible UFO-witnesses of high rank and station. And by the way, has he studied some of the key UFO-documents which have been declassified under the Freedom of Information Act? There is plenty of strong evidence to suggest that there is a cover-up. We would therefore assume that Kean's book is laced with a rational and healthy concern based on credible sources, and not with paranoia as Halper writes with impudence. Read Daniel Halper article on the Weekly Standard here.

The American researcher and author Robert Hastings (who visited Exopolitics Sweden last year) is planning a press conference at The National Press Club in Washington DC on September 27th 2010. It is expected that a dozen former US Airforce employees will tell their stories related to the "UFO-nuclear weapons-connection". Hastings is setting up the event in collaboration with retired US Airforce Captain Robert Sallas. The latter also spoke at the Press Club in 2001 when he participated in The Disclosure Project's famous press conference. Sallas has also told his story on CNN's Larry King Live and has received an award at The X-Conference in 2007. Read more about the event in Washington on Robert Hasting's website. Read article by Robert Hastings. Read article on Technorati. Watch Robert Hastings and Robert Sallas on CNN's Larry King Live .

We filmed Ron James' interview with investigative reporter George Knapp in Washington DC in May 2010. Knapp is employed by KLAS-TV in Las Vegas and has covered many ufological and exopolitical stories since the 80s. One of the topics that was brought up was the ramifications of a disclosure of the extraterrestrial presence. The interview took place at the Marriott Hotel next to the National Press Club during the exopolitical event The X-Conference. Watch the interview with George Knapp here. The video is producered in collaboration with Jennifer Stein, Ron James, and Paradigm Research Group.

The American lobbyist and activist Stephen Bassett who visited Exopolitics Denmark in 2009 was on Australian TV in the summer of 2010. With few minutes at his disposal he explained what Disclosure is. As seen so many times before the clip ended with a few pathetic smartass remarks by some TV-hosts who are apparently still on the kindergarten level when it comes to this topic compared to e.g. CNN's Larry King. Watch the piece with Stephen Bassett here. Our fellow activst was also exposed to a presumably uninformed host/producer on the Dylan Ratigan show on MSNBC in July: Watch the piece here.

Exopolitics Denmark has invited Gary Heseltine to Denmark in the autumn of 2010. We met the UK police officer at The X-Conference in Washington DC in the beginning of May. Here, he gave a presentation and received one of Paradigm Research Group's awards. When Gary comes to Copenhagen we expect that he will give a talk about his database and sightings in the UK. Exopolitics Denmark will add exopolitical contents to stimulate the debate. We expect to invite the general public as well as Danish police officers. Read article about Gary Heseltine where Denmark is mentioned briefly.
