TEXT OF LWB's ADVERTISEMENT PUBLISHED AT http://www.classifiedads.com/announcements-ad3972639.htm :

== Blow the Whistle on Ike's Role in Holloman AFB's UFO-E.T. Visitation! ==

Should the main flight line at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico, be designated a U. S. national historic landmark - because of its clandestine role in the (alleged) landing of an alien spacecraft (aka "flying saucer" and UFO) during the period Feb. 11-12, 1955? And how did President Eisenhower, accompanied by several Secret Service personnel, manage to be on hand for that event, even to the extent of entering the visiting craft? Where are the official records of that pivotal encounter with UFOnauts? How can we pry this, the late supreme allied commander's alien-contact case, from the locked jaws of a taciturn bureaucracy and thus bring unto the light of public inquiry a longer list of questions surrounding the Holloman rendezvous? These questions beget more as researchers like Art Campbell press on with the ultimate question: What did Ike know, and when did he know it, about UFO-E.T. reality? Well, if, for the short term, we can accept the testimony of at least two whistleblowers in the case, then how can we doubt that Ike knew enough from his Holloman encounter to entice us all to look deeper into Campbell's findings thus far? The two former Holloman-based military men's testimony leads us to conclude that Ike had misled the White House press corps into thinking he was embarking upon a multiday bird-hunting trip near Thomasville, Georgia, circa Feb. 10, 1955, while at the outset he was heading to Holloman for an unearthly vacation. (For details of the ruse orchestrated from Spense Airfield, Ga., see the discussion at http://www.ufocrashbook.com/iketalk.html .) To crack the case wide open, we need to pursue two avenues of UFOtruth: (1) solicit further whistleblower evidence (including any notarized deathbed confessions from other eye witnesses); and (2) mount a freedom-of-information quest for all official records pertaining to the event and its aftermath. As regards No. (2), see my recent FOIA request to the U. S. Secret Service, now posted as Item 2.98 upon my blog at http://ufoview.posterous.com .  Responders to No. (1) may contact me at: Larry W. Bryant, 3518 Martha Custis Drive, Alexandria, VA 22302; phone: 703-931-3341; e-mail: overtci@cavtel.net . With your help, the government's unconscionable denial of Ike's UFO-E.T. legacy will occupy the 20th century's political Hall of Shame; and the greatest story yet to be fully told will finally have its day in the Court of Public Opinion.

Item 2.97: Request for an Inspector General Investigation into Reported UFO-E.T.-related Censorship at Warren AFB

TO: Inspector General
U. S. Air Force 90th Missile Wing
F. E. Warren Air Force Base, WY 82005

FROM: Larry W. Bryant
3518 Martha Custis Drive
Alexandria, VA 22302

DATE: February 13, 2011

According to some recently received information from a knowledgeable
source, the military and civilian personnel throughout F. E. Warren
Air Force Base, Wyoming, have been issued instructions to refrain from
publicly discussing their own UFO-E.T. encounters and those of other
citizens. This official policy development also prohibits those
personnel from exercising their right to interact with UFO researchers
and with news media representatives on such a vital public issue as
UFO intrusions at various U. S. nuclear weaponry sites.

The policy in question apparently stems from recent media interest and
publicity about UFO activity near and/or within Warren territory.
Widespread public discussion, debate, and analysis of that activity is
being hampered by your command's unnecessary restraint upon the Warren
workforce's information access and freedom of speech. The resultant
censorship undermines the public's confidence in the decisionmaking
process of your command's management.

I therefore ask that your office mount a comprehensive investigation
into the ethics, principals, motivations, and unintended consequences
of the above-described prohibition - and that you furnish me a copy of
your ensuing report of findings, conclusions, and recommendations.
Please note my intention to provide a copy of that report to one or
more pertinent congressional committees.

By USPS mail, I'm sending to you a signed printout of this e-formatted letter.

Item 2.96: Freedom of Information Request re USAF-GSC Prohibition of UFOtalk

TO:  Commander
        U. S. Air Force Global Strike Command
        ATTN:  Freedom of Information Manager (AFGSC/A60K)
        414 Curtiss Road - Suite 237

DATE:  February 11, 2011

1.  Word has come to me that certain officials of your command's headquarters, in concert with such subordinate commands as the ones located at Minot Air Force Base (North Dakota), Malmstrom Air Force Base (Montana), and F. E. Warren Air Force Base (Wyoming), recently have issued written instructions prohibiting all GSC personnel from publicly discussing their own UFO-E.T. encounters and the UFO-E.T.-related reports of others.  Apparently, this retaliatory issuance derives from recent press accounts and other publicity about UFO activity in or near the three bases cited here.  This prohibition also orders GSC personnel to refrain from discussing UFO-E.T.-related matters with UFO researchers and with representatives of the news media.

2.  Accordingly, as a representative of the news media myself, I hereby submit this letter as a freedom-of-information request that you send me a photocopy of all GSC-generated and GSC-received records pertaining to the above-described prohibition's genesis, raison d'etre, authorization, scope, enforcement guidelines, and implementation methodology - said records to include executive correspondence, regulatory authority, briefing papers, memoranda for record, e-mail messages, minutes of meetings, intelligence analyses/reports, public-affairs talking points, legal opinions, inspector-general coordination documents, memoranda of telephone conversations, newspaper clippings, decision memoranda, operations-security notices, commanders' call announcements, disciplinary warnings/reports, and serious-incident reports.

3.  Please note that my RNM-requester status entitles me to full waiver of all records-search/review fees incident to your fulfillment of this request.

4.  By USPS mail, I'm sending to you a signed printout of this e-formatted letter.

Item 2.95: Blow the Whistle on the USAF's Threat to Freedom of Information/Speech!

[LWB Note: the following advertisement now is published at
http://www.classifiedads.com/announcements-ad3940501.htm . It
discusses a disturbing policy development from the U. S. Department of
the Air Force - one that does nothing for enhancing "national
security" but does threaten the public's right-to-know and to
communicate among itself unencumbered by official acts aimed at
thwarting and punishing the exercise of those rights. N.B.: as of 7
Feb 11, certain HQ-USAF officials have mitigated the policy. Even so,
take heed, readers: the USAF's nose is under the tent of public
awareness/accountability, and the tent's moorings are being stressed
to the limit. Please contact your Congress members to enlist their
aid in reversing the USAF's draconian policy/practices in the realm of
information access/dissemination.]

Blow the Whistle on the USAF's Threat to Freedom of Information/Speech!

Who'll be the next agency to win the National Security Archive's
Rosemary Award for non-excellence as regards complying with the spirit
and letter of the U. S. Freedom of Information Act? (For year 2006,
the recipient garnered the dubious distinction hands down; see:
http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/ .) Named after the presidential
personal secretary whose slippery hands caused the loss of 18 minutes'
worth of (apparently) Nixon-incriminating audio tape, the award
couldn't have found a more suitable home than the U. S. Central
Intelligence Agency. But wait! Lately, there's been an agency whose
anti-FOIA antics have nearly eclipsed those of the FOIA staff at CIA -
the U. S. Department of the Air Force (which won the Rosemary for
2007; see my blog Items 2.93, 2.92, 2.90, 2.85, 2.84, 2.81 through
2.78, 2.73, 2.64, 2.52, and 2.51 at http://ufoview.posterous.com ).
Alas, neither agency seems to have learned much from its past mistakes
(much less from the mistakes of the other). Behind the Air Force's
curtain of records-acess denial/diversion and resultant stonewalling
of my UFO-E.T.-related FOIA probes at certain USAF components, the
clock of Accountability continues to tick and tock as I prepare to
engage that regurgitated Rosemary candidate in litigation. Meanwhile,
at least one major command of the USAF hierarchy has enlarged its
self-imposed P. R. tarbaby by announcing (on 4 Feb 11) a broad,
repressive policy to counter all USAF personnel's unofficial
computerized access to certain "leaked" documentation posted on the
internet. But wait (again)! The policy calls for invoking a federal
espionage law to punish that "unauthorized" access to allegedly
"classified," leaked information (see
http://www.fas.org/sgp/news/2011/02/afmc-020311.html ). What if the
"classified" material consists of lies perpetrated by officials in the
performance of their duties, or other wrongdoing that the public is
entitled to know? What if, for instance, a USAF base commander
decides to "classify" a UFO-E.T.-intrusion report regardless of the
official insistance that the reported UFOs have constituted no
security threat and that there's no evidence pointing to the existence
of alien spacecraft or "flying saucers"? How can he assign a security
classification to a nonexistent topic/entity? The recent case of UFO
activity in/around F. E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyoming, falls into
the category of officialdom's trying to have it both ways. Suppose
that prospective whistleblowers in that case were to decide to tell
all about what happened - where, how, by whom, and why. If their
story happens to be "classified," then the U. S. Congress should
examine the facts, principals, and actions behind that labeling
(especially since no USAF base has any written emergency plans or
law-enforcement procedure for dealing with UFO-E.T. intrusions).
Meantime, assuming that such managerial malfeasance has occurred
(and/or is occurring) at numerous other USAF facilities, I encourage
other whistleblowers to step forward with their accounts. Notarized
deathbed confessions are being welcomed in the process of setting the
record straight, alerting Congress to the situation's overall
ramifications, and helping UFO-E.T-coverup participants/witnesses
clear their consciences. You may contact me as follows: Larry W.
