For the last 12 months I’ve been trying to exhaust all publicly available data about the John Podesta and UFOs.

My biggest goal has been to try and understand what motivated Podesta & Hillary Clinton to make the UFO issue so central to their 2016 campaign.

I work on the assumption that anyone running for the Whitehouse will aim to reduce their risk profile and broaden their appeal before election day, and with UFO stigma still rife in 2016, the way Clinton & Podesta pushed the UFO issue so relentlessly could only have been destabilising for them.

A good case study here is Dennis Kucinich.

On the 30th of October 2007, as George Bush Junior’s second term is just a year away from it’s conclusion, the Democrats were debating to zero in on a candidate for president.

Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and Barrack Obama are all on the stage. As is Congressman Dennis Kucinich.

On that night, the host asked Kucinich about a book that had been written where the author claims Kucinich had seen a UFO. See original footage here.

The way the moderator targeted him and the audience laughed at him was indicative of how prevelant the UFO stigma was in 2008. The next day the press had a field day, and very quickly Kucinich’s campaign was over.

The lesson? Whatever you think about UFOs, if you’re running for president, keep it to yourself.

The wild thing is that Hillary Clinton was on that debate stage and saw the impact a single anecdote about UFOs can have on a candidate. Then, just 8 years later, she and Podesta wouldn’t just share a UFO anecdote, they drove the UFO issue hard. Way harder than people realise.

Clinton & Podesta pushing UFOs VERY publicly in 2015/16:

  • August 17th 2015 - Wikileaks emails reveal an internal staffer describing “the UFO project”
  • September 24th 2015 - Podesta gets an email that Tom DeLonge forwarded on from General McCassland drafting a white house memo on UFOs
  • September 29th 2015 - following Lena Dunham’s interview with Clinton, Podesta retweets her saying “Great interview, lenadunham. But Lena, ask her about aliens next time!!” - Podesta did this, knowing it would be visible to millions across twitter.
  • November 6th 2015 - Wikileaks emails show Podesta asking Kristina Schake (former special assistant to obama, and comms director for the 2016 clinton campaign): “How was Jimmy Kimmell” - to which she replies, without any prompting that “She was charming, got lots of laughs and worked in a lot of message, including climate change. He didn’t end up asking her about UFOs! She was very disappointed. She practiced UAPs for 5 minutes beforehand.”
  • December 30th 2015 - just as the new year turns over, Clinton is interviewed for the Conway Daily Sun where she pledges that she is going to get to the bottom of the UFO issue and thinks we may already have been visited by aliens”
  • March 3rd 2016 - Podesta does a piece with 8 news now talking about Clinton’s plans for UFO dislcosure
  • March 24th. 2016 - Clinton talks openly about UAPs and the need to get to the bottom of the issue on Jimmy Kimmel… just 2 weeks later she does the same on the Breakfast Club. All of these are scripted before hand by the Clinton Comms team.
  • May 10th 2016 - Clinton does a piece with the NYTs and is extremely open about her plan to “open the files”
  • 3 weeks later May 27th 2016 - she does the same on MSNBC…

When you see just how hard they were pushing it is almost unbelievable. They seemed fearless about any repercussions and unafraid that they might lose votes.

Tom DeLonge said “It’s time”

With Kucinich for context, my conclusion is that Podesta & Clinton knew something we didn’t know.

Even Tom DeLonge points out in his interview with Jimmy Church how Podesta suddenly reached back out to him in 2015 saying “this is really important”… then suddenly Podesta’s team are talking about “the UFO project” in August…

Later in that same interview (see 2 hours 21 mins ish) DeLonge talks about how Clinton & Podesta’s activity and even Obama’s interview appearances in 2014… are all because “it’s time” and he says “there’s a reason”.

I always felt unsure about whether to take what DeLonge said there at face value… but the more I try and understand the events, the more I am inclined to believe that it really was time, and that this flurry of activity in 2015/16 was not a beginning, but rather a mid-point of a much bigger disclosure strategy that we just don’t have full visibility of.

Anyway… I’m doing a 3 part series on this if you want to go deeper. Part 1 is focused on this topic, part 2 goes deep on the Rockefeller initiative (1993-1997), and part 3 will examine the interim years from 2001 (when Bill Clinton left office) to 2015 (when Hillary started to run).
