LA Times poll: 69% want their officials, like Denver, to prepare for contact with extraterrestrials

As of Thursday January 14, 2010, fully 69% of respondents to a Los Angeles Times online poll had cast a “Yes!” vote to the question “cast your own vote on whether you’d like officials in your hometown to prepare for E.T.”

The Los Angeles Times established the online poll on Dec. 3, 2009, followed the Nov. 27, 2009 municipal approval of more than 10,000 signatures for a voter initiative to establish a commission to “create a responsible, responsive, common sense strategy for dealing with issues related to the presence of extraterrestrial intelligent beings on Earth.” The Denver Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission initiative has been set for voter approval in August 2010 Denver elections.

LA Times poll is congruent with scientific polls on extraterrestrial presence

The Los Angeles Times poll is congruent with scientific polls on the extraterrestrial presence. According to the 2002 Roper poll on the ET presence, "Two-thirds of Americans say they think there are other forms of intelligent life in the universe and nearly half say they believe that UFOs have visited the earth in some form over the years (48 percent) or that aliens have monitored life on earth (45 percent). In fact, more than one in three Americans (37 percent) believe that humans have already interacted with extraterrestrial lifeforms. These beliefs tend to be more prevalent among males and among adults under the age of 65."


There is a solid body of empirical evidence establishing an extraterrestrial presence on planet Earth. The Disclosure Project has gathered over 100 high level governmental, military, intelligence witnesses to extraterrestrial projects and activities, including first hand witness testimony. Over 20 of these witnesses appeared at a National Press Club press conference on May 9, 2001. Our legal system convicts a defendant of murder on the basis of first hand witness testimony. It is the journalistic responsibility of any mainstream media to investigate and report this testimony and evidence as part of voter education for the August 2010 Denver ET vote.

“Cast your vote here: Should the government prepare for UFOs?”

The 69% poll approval for an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission for their own municipality has occurred even after the LA Times article by reporter Steve Padilla was slanted with anti-extraterrestrial ridicule of the sort also used by the Sacramento Bee in a Jan. 12, 2010 “spike” article by SacBee reporter Ross Mackenzie on the 2010 Denver ET initiative.

LA Times reporter Steve Padilla, rather than providing facts about the extraterrestrial presence, led his article with a pejorative and irrelevant quote about “Bigfoot” from debunker Michael Shermer, publisher of Skeptic magazine.

Here is an extended excerpt from the Los Angeles Times article:

“Michael Shermer, publisher of Skeptic magazine, summed it up this way: “It’s like saying you’re going to have a ballot initiative about the existence of Bigfoot."

“He was referring to political news this week that is truly out of this world. Jeff Peckman, a UFO aficionado in Colorado, gathered enough signatures to put this pressing question before Denver voters next August: Should the city create an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission?

“As our colleagues Ashley Powers and DeeDee Correll report:

“If approved, the city panel would promote ‘harmonious, peaceful, mutually respectful and beneficial coexistence’ between earthlings and extraterrestrials, in part by developing protocols for ‘diplomatic contact.’ Its seven members would include an expert in taking testimony from people who’ve survived ‘direct personal close encounters’ with aliens.

“Follow this link for the full report, complete with shameless ‘Star Trek’ and ‘Star Wars’ references. In the meantime, cast your own vote on whether you’d like officials in your hometown to prepare for E.T.”

A pattern is emerging of mainstream media distortion instead of voter education

With the documented cases of mainstream media information distortion on the 2010 Denver ET initiative by the Los Angeles Times and the Sacramento Bee, a pattern now appears to be emerging.

The job of mainstream media reporting on voter initiative issues should be one of voter education about the underlying, complex issues involved in the initiative on the ballot.

Voter education is most especially needed in the case of the 2010 Denver ET initiative for a number of reasons.

The 2010 Denver ET ballot initiative has been officially placed on the August 2010 electoral ballot in accordance with Colorado and municipal law. The office of Denver’s Mayor John W. Hickenlooper, has stated with regard to the 2010 Denver ET initiative, “We respect the process we have for citizens to put initiatives on the ballot and let voters decide whether to approve them.” There is legitimacy to mainstream media debunking of the Denver Extraterrestial Affairs Commission vote. Voter education is the obligation of any serious journalist or media.

Voter education by the mainstream media is needed because the Denver (and U.S.) electorate has been under an intentional information embargo regarding the extraterrestrial presence since at least 1953. The Durant report of the 1953 U.S. CIA Robertson panel mandated a policy of obligatory debunking and ridicule regarding the extraterrestrial presence and any mention of UFOs.

Yet two mainstream media newspapers, the Los Angeles Times and the Sacramento Bee, rather than respecting their civic duty of educating voters in a ballot initiative, appear to be continuing the policies of the 1953 CIA Robertson panel.

One can now legitimately question whether the journalists involved (Los Angeles Times reporters Steve Padilla, Ashley Powers and DeeDee Correll and SacBee reporter Ross Mackenzie are either negligent in their duties as journalists or consciously engaging in this CIA-influenced policy as a condition of their employment with their respective newspapers.

Now is the time for The Los Angeles Times, The Sacramento Bee, and reporters Steve Padilla, Ashley Powers, DeeDee Correll and Ross Mackenzie to come forward with transparent statements as to why they are publishing “spike” articles on the 2010 Denver ET initiative, and apologize.
