UFOs and HOLLYWOODRichard and Victor Viggiani, the director of Zland News Network welcome Robbie Graham, a freelance writer and lecturer to discuss the history of government management of UFO perceptions through film and television.Specifically they'll discuss how certain intelligence use Hollywood films about UFOs and ETs to deliberately blur the lines between fact and fiction.Part II - WHITE HOUSE ENDS 64 YEAR SILENCE ON UFOsRichard and Victor speak to Stephen Bassett, Executive director of The Paradigm Research Group, about the White House dismissal of PRG's Disclosure Petition. In December 2011, Phil Larson of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) said"The U.S. government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race. In addition, there is no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public's eye."In response Bassett has filed Disclosure Petition II demanding that the Obama administration investigate UFO Disclosure efforts during the Clinton administration between the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and billionaire and Clinton friend, Laurance S. Rockefeller.
Professor Philip Pettit (Laurance S. Rockefeller University Professor of Politics and Human Values, Princeton University) speaks on the topic of ‘Doing Good and Doing Evil’. Are doing good and doing evil on a par? It may at first seem so: doing good to others means conferring a benefit, doing evil means imposing a harm. But first impressions are misleading this case, as in many others. For it turns out that while we expect goodwill in those who do us good, we do not often expect malice in those who do us evil. The difference proves to be significant since it helps to explain some of our most ingrained habits of moral thought. 11 March 2014
