20 | John W. Warner IV is my gentle advice. Use that mind to think critically. Some researchers say we have many star cousins to thank for our unique 12-strand DNA mix, apparently. Go figure. Makes more sense to me, Mr. Darwin. (See: Author and researcher Lloyd Pye). a* As for colorful life experience flavoring my work, I literally carried my fathers heavy leather briefcases (English-made suitcases; average weight: 45 lbs. each when full) all over the world with him from the time he was Secretary of the Navy until his retirement as a U.S. Senator of Virginia (Chairman of the Armed Services Committee, Select Intelligence Committee member), and after meeting many world leaders, U.S. presidents, royalty, Intelligence Community personnel, and plentiful top military brass, I have good reason to believe that the issue of extraterrestrial involvementboth positive and negativein our history, militaries, and governments is not only genuine but ongoing, the hidden agendas uncountable. I asked uncomfortable questions and I received uncomfortable short answers, or no answers at all, but I got the damn message: Shut up, be a patriot, stop asking questions about things that dont concern you, and move along. To my mind, extreme secrecymilitary, financial, governmental, religious, and corporateis a slow-moving death knell for our beloved nation and the world. At age 94, my father finally and reluctantly agreed before he passed away, at least partly so for an old fart, he said. I cannot speak for the peoples of other nations, but over the decades as Ive become disillusioned, weary, wise, and more informed, I now firmly understand with no President Nixon and my Dad, 1972. Nixon was a family friend. I believe he tried to release the UFO File to the public but was warned off and impeached fir his efforts. I was there at age 10.
