Is it possible that Ramey carried the memo with him as ammunition he could use to expose something if there were people at the press showing who could refute the balloon story?... Kind of like, 'Here's what they've sent to me, and it's the most astonishing discovery in the history of humankind, and now I've been told to offer the balloon but you've exposed the truth, so here's what is really going on world.'

This whole "aliens at Roswell" thing is ridiculous. I believe the weather balloon story was a fabricated cover. However, I don't think the government were hiding a crashed alien saucer.

Remember, in addition to Project Mogul (which we certainly would have covered up!), more than one nation was experimenting with flying disc aircraft at the time. Doesn't it seem more likely that a secret Air Force aircraft crashed?

The following is an aside--an insert--regarding a different kind of alien but perhaps as or more dangerous . . .

It has probably been posted elsewhere but I think it bears repeating anywhere it's likely to foster more prayer . . . I'd encourage prayer regarding BOTH types of aliens--when you think of one, remember the other.

Terrorism's Trojan Horse
Jim Bramlett
Nov 22, 2002
Dear friends:
In past messages, I have characterized the terrorist infiltration through our porous borders and scandalous immigration policies -- and their now presence in our country -- as a Trojan Horse. The Trojan Horse, filled with soldiers, was an instrument of war used by the Greeks
to gain access to the city of Troy.

Last night on FOX News, a U.S. congressman (can't remember his name) revealed shocking facts about infiltration through our borders, saying the administration must stop it -- now. Yet, he said he personally spoke with Homeland Security Chief Tom Ridge about it and the reply he got was
that nothing could be done because of "political and cultural reasons."

In other words, we cannot profile and discriminate against Muslim killers and their Mexican smugglers for fear of offending them! (We need the El Al security chief to take over our Homeland Security!) Plus, the congressman got a telephone call from a top White House aid, rebuking him for making such an issue over the subject in opposition to
the President. This is outrageous, especially in light of new information revealed below by nationally syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin.

In many ways, America is like a helpless, stupid giant, bound by political correctness and lack of resolve. And in our stupor, we dare to admonish Israel to be nice to the master terrorist Arafat and his murderous minions, give them land God gave to Israel and paid for in Jewish blood, to be used as a terrorist state to further war against
Israel, but with new statehood advantage.

Paraphrasing Michelle Malkin below -- "Our insanity continues." Quoting Jesus, "Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man" (Luke 21:36, NIV).

THE IRAQI INFILTRATION
by Michelle Malkin
How many of Saddam Hussein's sleeper terrorists are waiting dormant in the United States to retaliate against us when the war on Iraq begins? The Bush administration has begun to monitor Iraqis inside our country to identify potential domestic terrorist threats posed by sympathizers
of the Baghdad regime, according to the New York Times.

But while the new intelligence program is tracking thousands of Iraqi citizens and Iraqi-Americans with dual citizenship who are attending our universities or working at private corporations, there is no indication what federal authorities are doing to locate the untold numbers of illegal aliens from Iraq who have streamed across our open borders.

More than 115,000 people from Iraq and other Middle Eastern countries are here illegally. Some 6,000 Middle Eastern men who have defied deportation orders remain on the loose. And an international crime ring, led by Iraqi native George Tajirian, demonstrates the scope of the
alarming problem of potential terrorists pressing at our southern gate.

Tajirian's ring guided aliens from all over the world into the United States — usually across the Rio Grande or through El Paso, Texas, checkpoints — and arranged transportation and lodging for them once inside.

According to federal prosecutors, Tajirian charged up to $15,000 a head — chump change for deep-pocketed terrorist enterprises. During Tajirian's trial, which resulted in a 13-year prison sentence, prosecutors introduced evidence that Tajirian was responsible for smuggling individuals with known ties to subversive or terrorist organizations as well as individuals with known criminal histories.

All told, law enforcement officials believe Tajirian and his Mexican collaborator, Angel Molina,may have smuggled more than 1,000 Middle Eastern aliens across the Southwest frontier. The whereabouts of many of the smugglees remains unknown.

So far, Saddam and his Iraqi henchmen have refrained from direct, conventional terrorist attacks on American soil. But as Central Intelligence Agency Deputy Director John McLaughlin recently noted: "Should Saddam conclude that a U.S.-led attack could no longer be deterred, he probably would become much less constrained in adopting terrorist actions.

Such terrorism might involve conventional means, as with Iraq's unsuccessful attempt at a terrorist offensive in 1991, or [conventional biological weapons]."

And yet, our borders remain wide open to infiltrators who may be toting more than suntan lotion and disposable cameras in their luggage. Among the few smugglers who have been caught in the past year:

In late May 2002, federal agents arrested two Egyptian nationals for allegedly trying to smuggle illegal Middle Eastern immigrants into New Jersey by way of Mexico. For a fee of $8,000, court documents say, the suspected smuggling ring flew customers on tourist visas to Brazil, then sent them to Guatemala, through Mexico, and finally across the Southwest border into America.

Just last month, a D.C. jury convicted Mohammed Hussein Assadi of smuggling Iraqis into the United States through Cali, Colombia, Ecuador, and other locations in South America. Assadi supplied illegal alien Iraqis with stolen and altered European passports and round-trip airline
tickets to the U.S. in exchange for up to $8,000 per person.

These Iraqi smugglees purchased documents at a commercial vendor in Northern Iraq called the "Market of Passports," which they used to travel through Turkey and Ecuador into Colombia. According to a statement from the U.S.attorney's office, Assadi instructed the aliens to destroy the fraudulent passports and tickets while en route to
America and to surrender to U.S. immigration authorities without disclosing their true place of origin.

The scheme relied on smug knowledge of our government's "catch and release" policy for illegal aliens who are freed pending deportation proceedings — a policy that remains in place today.

"There is simply no way to know all those who illegally entered the United States through this defendant's efforts," Assistant U.S. Attorney Laura Ingersoll stated in a memorandum to the court.

Meanwhile, the Immigration and Naturalization Service is busy building light beacons and water stations for illegal aliens from around the world penetrating our country from the south, and the Bush White House is preparing to reward illegal border-crossers from Mexico with "earned legalization."

Our border insanity continues.
