Wiki: Los Angeles- 69% in LA Times poll want ET commission
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.

make sure our welcome committee bring to the table lots of donuts with green sprinkles on top, they like it really green.
This is beyond stupid. Politicians have trouble communicating with their constituents, so how TF are they expected to communicate with "extra-terrestrials"?
Thank you for this article.... well done. Voted!
How many are waiting and preparing for extraterrestrials to come to earth versus how many are waiting and preparing for Jesus to come to earth?
Well, finally the local gullible idiots in the public at large are starting to get the message the the ET presence is a hard cold inconvenient FACT.
A presence they all are going to have to deal with sooner or later.
Like the ET colony on the Moon(Luna), the Martians on Mars & the aliens that live around Saturn that can build objects 3 times est.(31,496mi long) the size(diameter) of Earth that orbit in the rings of Saturn.

I linked to the original poll and glad to see it got so many respondents. However, I'd argue that the results are a bit skewed, i.e., that only people who are already "into" UFOs would even read such an article, much less link, forward, tweet, etc, the article - and then the people who got it would naturally be part of that shared interest group. All that's to say, I doubt the 69% percent results is truly indicative of the population in general.
Good article nonetheless Alfred, thanks for keeping up and posting a follow-up article, and kudos to LA Times for stepping out with their article and poll.

To Guy and Alfred and others,
That's the same % almost who STRONGLY oppose this Health care scam crap. But it don't matter...they're gonna force it anyway!! Also it's probably closer to 90% who want incumbants out of office...won't matter. AND it's 100% who want more honesty and accoutability from their representatives. Same Deal! Good Luck getting ANY of this including disclosure.
Ain't gonna happen lest the People make it happen!!!
Webre must be tired of this. Again and again words but not aliens at all.
Alfred must be tired because he is more intelligent that the things he write. Probably he doesn't believe a iota of all this.
Again and again, same old...the "nothing happens" syndrome.
Haity, the unjustified War in the Middle East. Crisis of Capitalism.
So many problems and so little solutions, Webre.
Have a nice weekend

the ET's will look down on california from the safety of their spaceships and determine that they want no part of these california nutcases. they can then flee to another solar system, or zap them with the curse of Ming, and do the rest of us a huge favor!
stardate 2012; exploratory expedition sent to search the universe for intelligent lifeforms. the expedition includes: hillary clinton, nancy pelosi, harry reid, and barbara boxer, and will not return to earth for 3000 light years. OH GOD! why wake me? i was having such a WONDERFUL DREAM!
I demand a ballot initiative for the disclosure of unicorns.
All unicorn-believers should sign the initiative.
I have no doubt in my mind that we are going to see full disclosure. However, I think the poll in the La. Times is laughable because it is not government officials that need to prepare for encountering UFOs but the general public. The truth be told high level government officials and elite secret societies have been in contact with UFOs for the past 6,000 years or so. Read about projects such as MJ 12. Full disclosure will take place at the appropriate time. Aliens will be declared as the real creaters of the human race. Why do I say this? The fact is the theory of evolution is riding on nothing and has been supported by absolutely nothing for a long time. It is a fiction that has served its purpose--the destruction of legitimate science--and it will be phased out or at least significantly altered.
What many fail to realize is that UFOs are a manifestation of the dark side. Read about star gate technology. These are not nice entities we are on the verge of confronting.
Finishing my comment. Many of the churches have gone to sleep regarding the times in which we live. Study prophecy. We know that the end times will be exactly the same as the days of Noah. Demonic entities were on the earth and it is this fact that accounts for the existence of the giants recorded throughout the Old Testament. The idea that Americans live in a country ruled by mostly christian government officials is an illusion. Did you know that many high level government officials gather in northern California in a place called Bohemian Grove every year to conduct mock human sacrifices to Molech? Both George Bush and John Kerry were members of the occult secret society Skull and Bones. There are those who have devoted their life to evil. The antichrist is about to be revealed. This will happen after a shock and awe period in history during which wars will be fought and currencies will collapse. This is a spiritual battle and the churches are not paying attention.
Nobody will see a Disclosure during his lifetime. Even if all humans became united under a world government tomorrow to cope with the appropriate distribution of the planetary resources, it will take a couple of centuries. Until, snake-oil sellers like Michael Salla can sell their exopolitics-certificates and diplomas, Steven Greer can make his money by selling testimonies (aka claims) and books about fairy tales, told by self-proclaimed high ranking officials with unverifyable identities, and, Joseph Skipper, who operates the marsanomalyresearch-site can sell his SF-book, where breathtaking claims are made, e.g. the martian atmosphere is declaread as breathable (no CO2) and sufficiently pressurized, liquid standing surface water and life can (and does) exist. Further, we have Richard Hoaxland [typo intended], who is obsessed by his fairy-tales about NASA. That's what James Black wrote many times: Everything goes in the exo-ufoistic circus (people can imagine)
