Paradigm Research Group Update {October 27, 2011}

Blogmaster’s note: Although I am not very active for many years in UFOlogy/exopolitics, I’m still a staunch UFO/ET reality proponent. My friend Steve is still very much in the thick of things.

Disclosure Petition Update

www.disclosurepetition.info

As of this Update the Disclosure Petition has 11,574 signatures. That is 20th out of 158 posted petitions still posted on the White House website trending 10th out of 95 petitions with new signatures. It will be formally responded to by the Obama administration later this year. Everyone who has signed the petition will get an email letting them know the White House has reviewed and responded to the petition. The first petition response is now up here.

All nations can sign petitions (the Zip Code field is optional). 15,000 signatures by the end of October is reachable. Share the link via Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, YouTube, email lists and websites.

The Next Petition

At some point, perhaps after the administration response, the Disclosure Petition will be pulled off the site. When that happens, PRG will put a new petition up addressing another aspect of the issue. Of course, anyone who has already signed the DP will be able to sign the next petition without registering again. Under the current rules the next petition will require 25,000 to initiate a formal response. Is that doable? Yes.

PRG is committed to keeping UFO/ET/Disclosure issues front and center in the White House’s We the People project.

X-Conference Update

The six X-Conferences cost approximately $400,000 and $36,000 still remains outstanding. This includes two loans, some speaker’s fees and a balance to the National Press Club. These balances will be paid at the first opportunity. No X-Conference was held this year and another will not be produced until the outstanding balances are cleared and any future event is fully funded in advance.

PRG Media Archive
www.paradigmresearchgroup.org/newsitems2011.html

This archive of mainstream, English language coverage of the UFO/ET issue since 1947 is now approaching 6000 articles. At 720, 2011 is on a pace for 970 articles, which is down slightly from last year. PRG estimates the total number of such articles since 1947 exceeds 20,000. In recent years only about 1 article out of 100 is a ridicule piece.

Disclosure Dialogues DVD Set
www.sedonamediacompany.com/dialogues2sb.html

While there will not be an X-Conference this year, many speakers from the past two years are featured in this 5-DVD set/documentary. The dialogues between researchers and activists is a very good format as fellow colleagues often know the right questions to ask.

This blog by PhD candidate Robbie Graham in the UK continues to publish the best information available about the relationship between the entertainment industry and the UFO/ET issue. PRG considers this a very important site because of the huge influence Hollywood and other film centers have on the public perception of and acclimation to the ongoing Disclosure process.
