Former Obama Counselor Regrets Not Disclosing UFO Files

Every now and then, figures of authority acknowledge the UFO phenomenon and the impact it has on today’s society. While the effects of this secrecy are not up for debate, the decision to keep UFO files classified certainly is. It is a matter that concerns all of us and we have the right to know.

In recent UFO disclosure news, former Obama Counselor John Podesta has made a statement that should come as no surprise to us. On the day he stepped down from the position of Presidential Adviser, Podesta sent out this tweet:

Certainly, his position provided him access to classified files pertaining to the UFO phenomenon. Under the Clinton Administration, Podesta served as Deputy Chief of senior policy adviser, Assistant to the President and from late 1998 to early 2001, as the White House Chief of Staff.

John Podesta is no stranger to the case of flying saucers and has oftentimes manifested interest towards this phenomenon. He also advocates the disclosure of government investigations. At a conference held by the Coalition for Freedom of Information in 2002, he said:

It is time for the government to declassify records that are more than 25 years old and to provide scientists with the data that will assist in determining the real nature of this phenomenon.[…] We ought to do it, really, because it’s right. We ought to do it, quite frankly, because the American people can handle the truth. And we ought to do it because it’s the law.”

Podesta also wrote the foreword to Leslie Kean’s book UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go on the Record and concluded that:

The American people – and people around the world – want to know, and they can handle the truth.”

He’s also played an important role in the introduction of Executive Order 12958. To those of you unfamiliar with EO 12958, it was this act that opened up the road to declassifying millions of pages from the United States’ national security history. Without this movement, spearheaded by Podesta, we wouldn’t have heard about the UFO files declassified in recent years.

We’ve established that John Podesta has been a key player in the UFO game and we should note that he’s also a fan of The X-Files since he stated in 2007 that “the truth is out there.”

So why would he state that his biggest failure of 2014 was the inability to secure the disclosure of UFO files? It’s because there are millions of pages still being kept secret. Because what has already been declassified is merely the tip of the iceberg.

The truth might be out there but part of it is here on Earth, locked behind closed doors.

It’s rumored that Podesta will join Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign as a senior adviser. Perhaps he will have another chance at becoming influential in the White House. Those UFO files won’t stay hidden forever.
