Show Notes
Art Bell hosts the third installment of the Disclosure series with political activist Stephen Bassett, the only registered lobbyist in the United States representing extraterrestrial phenomena research organizations. Bassett recounts how the first two Disclosure programs in 1998 and 1999 raised expectations that the government would formally acknowledge an extraterrestrial presence, only for the Monica Lewinsky scandal and other political distractions to derail momentum.
The broadcast also features presidential candidate Dr. Heather Ann Harder, a Democrat campaigning in New Hampshire who holds the unique distinction of being the only candidate with a stated position on UFO disclosure and government secrecy. She argues that activating the disengaged majority of American voters is the key to forcing transparency, and calls for single-issue bills written in plain English and a national referendum process.
Art presses both guests on the nature of government secrecy, including the existence of information classified beyond the clearance level of the president. Bassett warns that the imbalance between constitutional government and the sprawling intelligence apparatus represents a serious dysfunction that elections alone cannot fix.
