Jennings Explores ABCs of UFOs
Washington Post ^ | Sunday, February 20, 2005 | Kathy Blumenstock

Posted on 02/21/2005 4:14:51 PM PST by Momaw Nadon

Flying saucers and strange beings who have visited Earth aren't the typical topics reported by Peter Jennings, anchor of ABC's "World News Tonight." Jennings, whose new two-hour special tackles the subject of UFOs, admits he and his production team began the project with doubts and a dose of curiosity.

"We have a lot of skeptics -- I am very skeptical -- but we seriously investigated something a lot of people are serious about," he said. "And when we come to the end, this is wonderfully interesting.

"More than 80 million Americans believe intelligent beings from somewhere else have come here," he said. "Forty million believe they have seen UFOs, so this is of deep interest to people."

But it is the FIRST very serious treatment--evidently--of the topic by such a major news figure. At least in the public gestalt of such.

As that--depending on how they slant it--it could be setting the stage for some more significant revelations not too far off.

It's upping the credibility of the topic

sort of factor.

in the general public's eyes, I mean.

Presuming the "forgive me" was serious . . . daring, perhaps,

forgiveness is a chronic habit, discipline with me. No sweat.

I don't see things as "that bad."

Thanks for a polite response.

I think I've told you it was my job to house, arrange, display, present, etc. materials from the far left through to the far right in the university library special collections dept I was acting head of.

There were vast amounts of puppet master documents FROM THEIR OWN ORGANIZATIONS in and out of the UN as well as from those accusing them of such. This was in 1965-1969.

They had a list of goals way back then.

70-80% of those goals HAVE ALREADY BEEN ACHIEVED.

In my shoes, WHAT WOULD YOU MAKE OF THAT INFO? It's rather plain black and white in their own documents from their own publications. It hasn't exactly been hidden all that well.

It amazes me that the whole populace of sheeple are so blind about it.

Your tinfoil hat needs another layer, Quix.

I think he has enough. ;-)

The final disclosure will be convincing enough and then some. I wish it wouldn't be. And it can wait a very long time as far as I'm concerned.

When it comes, life will never be the same in a list of unpleasant ways. . . . far less free ways. I wonder even how long FR could survive in such a context.

I suppose I should, for my sake, be more of a smiling and nodding passive sort of bloke. But it's not my nature or calling.

A voice screaming in the wilderness is much more my bent and thrownness. Not always very comfortable, for sure. But it's less comfortable to give off a muffled peep when an outrageous SUPER SCREAM IS MUCH MORE WARRANTED!

SOME things are WORTH screaming about. Freedom and especially truth and a relationship with God are among them.

The puppet masters are very skillful and reportedly have been at it for at least 400 years. And the puppet behind THEM--satan--has been at it a LOT longer.

All the basics of this stuff is old hat. It's as reliably true as the sun coming up tomorrow. But by the time the general folks realize that--it will be EVEN MORE too late.

But it's in The Bible--what to expect, in rough outline--it's not as though we weren't warned.

There's lots of folks I don't expect to convince 0.001% these days. But the day will come when you realize with a thunderous thud.

My hope then, is, that you will take the claims of The Bible about your relationship with God a lot more seriously, too.

Certainly you will have daily abundant and painful evidence at that point that I was far from looney toons.

Am honored you'd say so.

Will likely give a running commentary on this thread.

Thanks.

Besides, everybody knows it's the Masons.

True, it seems like a first that a major news anchor would host a 2 hour special on the subject.

You must be very proud

of your

discussion stifling; dismissive; demeaning; insulting assaults

which are sooooooo very effective at keeping VERY well respected FREEPERS from admitting at all openly the expertise, experiences, observations etc. which they and their family members have had.

Clever fellow. Shove that uncomfortable truth in a hole. Keep a tight lid on it. Don't let anyone disturb YOUR sleep!

Such a smart, clever fellow. So wise, hip, with-it, cool and clever.

and wrong.

To: Sam Cree; All

Yup.

Have been thinking . . . given all the givens.

Especially given Jenning's top flight arrogance . . .

I do NOT think he'd tolerate being a part of such a program UNLESS:

1) the puppet masters ordered it on pain of death

or

2) he KNEW he was going to be seen as a ground breaking initial leader of prying the lid off greater revelations--if not this program than not that far off.

Nothing else fits. Can anyone else think of another possibility?

Jennings sees himself as tooooo erudite, elitist, intellectual, swauve etc. to be caught dead near this topic unless he were tasked with ground breaking, pioneering, lead the pack SOMETHING related to it. imho.

You forgot the third option.

3.) The 'Puppet Masters' at the network are watching their ratings go through the toilet and they're lloking for anything...anything... to bring 'em back up.

This program will be nothing but a puff piece to get viewres. Nothing more.

Do I deny that there are unidentifiable aircraft spotted from time to time? No. But I'll lay money on it being Black Ops playing with some fancy toys.

more than the usual slight incremental increase in disclosed info mixed with major portions of disinformation

I've noticed this too. There's more than usual UFO documentary stuff on the Sci-Fi channel recently, and they're airing the testimonials by Gordon Cooper, Russian scientists, and many others. Interesting.

Quix, those who refuse to allow themselves to think about the unknown have NO imagination.

You are right.

But I'm a bit concerned for Christians who have their heads too often too much in the sand. And too many of them also are not accustomed to practicing listening to Holy Spirit's still small voice within them. They may have trouble detecting the difference between His Voice and their own thoughts etc. But, if they truly Love God in their hearts, I trust HE WILL GET THROUGH TO THEM SOMEHOW.

Otherwise, the great deception the Bible speaks of may be tooooo troublesome for even some perhaps borderline Christians. And certainly so for masses of others.

People think life is complex now. And it is. But it's nothing as bad as it's going to be once this stuff hits the surface big time in all ITS complexity and intense REALITY CONVOLUTING drama.

Like others, I am just hoping that there's intelligent life somewhere in the universe.
