Interview starts aprox 37 mins.........I have not heard from the 'mole' for a while
and when I found this interview I thought , I would annoy myself by listening to his
usual waffling about nothing and he did not disappoint. He actually starts off by
commenting about having his 'MOD hat on'....LOL
Why this bugs me, is the access he was given from the start to the media and
admits he could not say anything secret because of his security oath which he is
still bound by.
The only positive thing is that it has put the fact there was UFO desk , which Nick
says has closed but that's only the PR dept , not the actual interest in UFO's.
Jimmy you fell in the trap by asking about his other case the RAF Cosford incident.
All jimmy got was another Nick 'waffle' . He has talked about it on camera
and in presentations before and its his 'secondry' validation case when he
first came out if the MOD filing cabinet.....
I can remember this being on the local news in 1993 as it flew over Somerset...

He said he was in charge in security and when he signed off he had a reminder
that his security oath lasts for life . Nick has said this before he cannot divulge
any classified information as he would be arrested. He even says people think
he is working for the MOD and when as he says when he was on the BBC he
is an official spokesman for the MOD by definition of his security oath.

http://www.nickpope.net/
======================================================
To gain some credibility on the UFO circuit , thus giving him the access to
get on to most UFO mainstream news programmes and the many documentaries
he has appeared on . He needed a signature case, which is the Rendlesham Forrest
incident that was in the public domain well before he came on the scene.Other than
that I have not heard him comment on many other cases he must of come across.
He says in the above interview that he did not believe in the Ancient Alien theory,
and subjects like 9/11 or any other related alternate articles , he tows the
mainstream political line and is as he has said himself he is a sceptic on most
parts of the alternate field.
He does not agree with Edward Snowden and whistleblowers in general !!!!
So as in the piece below he has to defend Col Holts position about the Light house..

Check out a sneak peak of Episode One of UFOs Declassified.
The Rendlesham Forest incident remains one of the most fascinating and
controversial UFO stories on record. The personnel of RAF Bentwaters claim to have
seen fantastic objects in the skies, but were they mistaken and instead only
viewing a lighthouse from afar?

This bloke is a smarmy git . But he says he had
media training and learnt how to spin answers
which is basically what he is a 'plant , dis info
agent to control some of the mainstream news
slots if and when the UFO subject comes up.
He says he would spin and not tell the truth
if asked questions about classified subjects.
Aprox 79 mins into interview they touch on
this , where Nick says he is more a less an
official spokesman for the MOD.

When Jimmy asks if the Royal family knows about UFO ? Nick says
he cannot comment . Jimmy then asks jokingly is the Queen a reptile
Nick says certainly not .
As I said earlier and Nick himself says he is a sceptic on most aspects
of the alternate field and Jimmy asks again as he has appeared on
Ancient Aliens many times why did he go on there. Nick say to be
the sceptic I suppose. Then Jimmy asks if he knows or looks at David
Ickes work. Nick says no and does not have time for his views
( parapraced )
That would be a great discussion between David Icke and Nick Pope...LOL
Nick says he has a thick skin and worked in security as part of his MOD
career and does not worry what people think or say about him. Nick
is definitely more than he says he is !!!
Nick say they were the Men in Black , they down played sightings and wore
dark suits, it was in answer to a question and partly tongue in cheek, but
you never know with agent Nick....
At the end he lists some UFO programmes and conferences he is attending.
Fair play to him if he can get away with it......LOL
Jimmy Says it was one of the best interviews he has done , I
think you may be hallucinating Jimmy. Though you could say
it really exposed Nick for what he really is a intelligence agent.

6th March 2015, 01:50
He is part of the disclosure elite ....LOL
After hearing the interview with Jimmy , you know
as Nick said all the way thru , he can only discuss
material already declassified . So if he found out
anything classified about the Rendlesham case he
would not add it to what is already known,
It sounds to me he is undercover to report back
to his superiors in the MOD if anything surfaces
and generally acts as a 'spy' in the disclosure
project. He says all his books have to be examined
by the MOD before publishing, which is routine.
To be fair he is honest about it. If we can believe him ..LOL
So I'm pointing out as his says take a lot of what he says
as spin and realise he is not a disclosure or truth seeker.
Queen and country comes first !!
Again nothing in here is new and he defends the loss
of missing documents, which he says is not suspicious.
He quotes Lord Hill Norton saying either a UFO landed
at Rendlesham or the Deputy commander and his
security staff were hallucinating , (para phraced ).

To be fair Nick does not hide the fact that he is a sceptic and say he is ' agent
Scully' in the X files comparison. In the the interview with Jimmy he says the best
place to hide a book is in a library.Basically saying the best place to hide
mole/plant/spy is in plain site . All the major conspiracy issues he tows the
government line and is a 'Yes Minister man to the core'.
Again this is fine and everyones entitled to their views and opinions , yet he is
treated and invited as guest speaker at these events with basically nothing new to
say on top of his opening MOD briefing dossier about Rendlesham Forrest and how
its his job to monitor any new evidence from the UFO sources and report back to
friends and senior operatives at MOD. Especially keeping an eye out for potential
Edward Snowdens , as he says he does not believe in whistleblowers in national
security positions. As he said several times one of his posting was in MOD security,
so he has all the qualifications to spy on the alternate community. His time spent
on the UFO desk giving him the background and credentials to blend right in .
Is this an unfair accessement ? not judging by the amount of " No Comments"
given to Jimmy and other interviewers on most UFO related subjects involving , any
form of secrecy or disclosure. His mantra is you are not going to get any disclosure
or info from me Guv...LOL
He was on a panel on British TV defending the official version of 9/11 which I
cannot find. This is what annoys me Nick makes no secret of his views yet he is
held up as some sort of disclosure guru. When in fact he is the opposite he is the
quint essential British civil servant.
He is basically Sir Humprey saying nothing in as many ways as possible.....LOL

====================================================
JFK.............from Nicks website
As a broadcaster and writer well-known for his media interviews and articles on conspiracy theories, Nick Pope is often asked about the assassination of JFK. In the run-up to the 50th anniversary of JFK's death, Nick Pope's position statement on the issue is as follows:
The assassination of JFK was a defining moment in American history and marked the birth of the modern conspiracy theory era. The Warren Commission, set up to investigate the killing, concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald killed the President and that he acted alone. The evidence was overwhelming, in particular, the so-called "backyard photos", which showed Oswald posing with the murder weapon. Even the House Select Committee on Assassinations (which did later support the idea of a conspiracy - albeit on dubious evidence) concluded that the photos were genuine, as did Oswald's wife, who took them. However, almost immediately, some people began to question the official version of events.
The Warren Commission was not without its flaws (exactly the same can be said of the 9/11 Commission), but this does not render their fundamental findings unsound. Despite a multitude of claims and theories, no compelling evidence has been brought forward to call into question the conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald fired the fatal shots and that he acted alone. More to the point, no competing theory is supported by nearly as much evidence as the official conclusion.
Most of the conspiracy theories concerning JFK's death can be eliminated by the simple application of the 'means, motive and opportunity' test. These conspiracy theories range from being merely self-contradictory and illogical, to being demonstrably false and patently absurd. That's not to say that people who believe in conspiracy theories are crazy. To this day, vast numbers of ordinary people believe in JFK conspiracy theories, alongside ones relating to the moon landings or to 9/11. Distrust of government is a big factor in all of this.
Often, with the untimely death of a famous person, people look for some sort of deeper meaning. The death of Diana, Princess of Wales, is a good example. It's as if people are unable to accept the fact that one of the most famous and beautiful women in the world died in so mundane and pointless a way: a car being driven at high speed; a driver who had been drinking; a passenger who was wearing no seatbelt. So it is with JFK. People look for a more complex story, even though modern history, sadly, is full of instances where a single, deranged individual shoots a famous person (e.g. John Lennon) or large numbers of people (e.g. the Sandy Hook school massacre), for reasons that may never be fully known. The motivations for such acts are the subject of much debate and controversy. There is unlikely to be a single, neat answer, but the root cause usually involves a combination of mental illness, a perceived grievance and a desire to do something that will make the world pay attention to an individual who was previously ignored or disliked.
The assassination of JFK is an excellent example of a principle known as "Occam's Razor": when examining competing theories, the one that makes the fewest assumptions is most likely to be the correct one. The simplest explanation that fits the facts in relation to the assassination of JFK is that Lee Harvey Oswald really was the lone gunman. It may not be as interesting as the various conspiracy theories, but it's almost certainly the definitive explanation.

I don't think the man is to be trusted, as he has had so much mainstream coverage. My humble opinion.
Your right and if he was just another researcher with a
point of view it would not bother me.
But for all the reasons above and in several other earlier
threads and posts I have posted he is so obviously a
plant to manipulate mainstream media interviews,
that I cannot believe the people who run these
UFO circuits and seminars keep inviting him to
say 'nothing '..LOL
Which makes you wonder at some of the leading
disclosure venues and organisers in this field ...LOL
Cidersomerset
6th March 2015, 17:50
I'm listening again and aprox 80 mins they are talking
about MOD UFO bulk release of non top secret cases.
Nick said The first batch was released in May 2008,
just as operative agent Pope had embedded himself
into the UFO community and was ready to go on all
the news channels BBC ,Sky news ,channel 4 news ,
American and other national news stations to comment
on the disclosure and keep a lid on it by gently down
playing the significance of the info , as he said MOD
operatives are trained to do.....
Coincidence I think not ...LOL
As George Norry says..........
http://www.skepticblog.org/wp-content/uploads/imagesCAUQ3CSG.jpg
http://engageyourmind.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/coincidences.jpg
=============================================
Aprox 101 mins in they are talking that the Soviets were looking into
energy directed weapons , and other stuff. Nick says he cannot go
into details from other sources. This is where he say his hiding a
book in a library quote. Nick knows a lot more than he will disclose
and is obviously aware of secret tech weapons or weapons platforms.
So he will not look out of the box on subjects such of 9/11 , when he
must know. what elements within black projects groups are capable
of. Its obvious as Jimmy says Nick is always dancing around the subject,
to wit Nick answers he cannot and will not divulge any classified material.
Nick carries on the discussion and confirms he would not of disclosed
anything that had not already been declassified by the MOD and he
apologises to Jimmy and members of the Rendlesham experiancers
that he would of and presumably still hold back info that may help
their case . This leads to his Edward Snowden comments and he does
not believe he is a hero and whistle blowers , should not disclose info
that could damage the national interest....
Then he talks about spying and surveillance techniques and hardware
capabilities , regarding redacted released documents. Then he goes
onto tell Jimmy how governments 'spin' there answers everyday.
When pressed Nick says he would not lie directly , but would use
'spin' and 'No Comment' and goes on to talk about his media
training and how to deflect questions and give a completely different
answer .' Waffling and spinning the truth ' the classic phrase
of 'No defence significance' and he explains how he and colleagues
at the MOD would spin answers for the press and parliament.
Jimmy asks did you ever become frustrated and wanted to disclose.
Nick said no it was my job.I swore an oath for Queen and Country
and it was my job.......
And sorry Nick it still is as far as I can tell......
This sums it up....Nick you know the truth stop
feeding us 'Bull s---'....

The interview starts aprox 31 mins in , one of the first questions jimmy asks
is what his relationship with Nick Pope ?
Aprx 36 mims in and Gary gives a great answer and have a listen, he basically
says he has known Nick Pope for aprox 10 years and over that time Nick has
said 'Nothing' ....LOL and elaborates more ans said Nick Pope appeared on
a BBC show saying he believed in ET's, and for the last 18 ears he has been
'waffling'......LOL and basically he is still an MOD insider.
Then pressed by Jimmy for more views and Gary basically says what I have
above. Mr Pope is a plant to feed back the current state of disclosure from
the front line so to speak and this goes back to the 1990's after the fall
of the Soviet Union and it was thought disclosure was very possible......

As Gary says in the above interview. Nick first came out in this 1996 BBC
interview feeling the waters and starting his espionage role in the UFO community...
Another explanation could be he was initially keen to disclose ( Uhm ?? )
but has been pulled back for the MOD and just told to infiltrate , mingle
and report back. Particularly the Rendlesham case which is his only real
interest and monitoring any more leaks that may compromise US and UK
interactions with ET's...

Peter Snow interviews Nick Pope, with the aid of a shadowy actor. As I watch this, it
does occur to me that Mr Pope shouldn't really be talking about this, so soon after his
departure from the UK's 'X-Files'; MI5 normally stop this by bundling you in to the back
of a car, never to be seen again. So, as we are seeing Pope doing his best to tell us that
there really is something going on, it does feel rather like this is his real job, doesn't it???

Before I could take this guy seriously, I’d first need to know how working on UFO files qualifies him to give an opinion on things like Diana, 911 and the JFK assassination. Obviously one sees the common denominator: he has become a general practitioner of conspiracy theory debunking. While these last three all involve different kinds of controlled demolition, they all call for professional assessment by specialists working in three very different fields. Let him by all means attempt a controlled demolition of his own in the field of ufology, but anything else just show him as being up to no good. Just as skeptics often seek to discredit someone by mixing things up, e.g. by saying in connection with 911, I bet you think there was a conspiracy to murder JFK, he is discrediting himself by straying into areas in which he has zero professional expertise.

He is basically a MOD yes man to the core. His comments about other issues like JFK have come about in answer of
the more and more people seeing thru his agenda , which is not difficult after you have heard him speak a few times.
I noticed this years ago when I first heard him at one of the UFO conferences , this would of been after I had the
net and finding project Camelot around circa 2006/7 . The comments from Gary Heseltine in the interview above
sum him up quite well. Gary also mentioned the BBC interview above and it all ties in with intelligence operation
to monitor the Rendlesham disclosure . This is Nicks signature case and free ticket to infiltrate the UFO circuit,
But more importantly monopolise mainstream news access ie What better contact for news room editor to go
to on related UFO subjects than the Ex MOD UFO X files agent.
The US/UK were worried post Soviet union and public interest in the 1990's with shows such as the X files,
that they did not want any more than was already disclosed about Rendlesham coming out. Nick apologised
in the interview , at the top to Jimmy and col Holt saying if he ( Nick ) knew anything that had not already
been disclosed by the witness's. He ( Nick Pope ) could not or would not tell them because of his MOD oath which
he is still bined by law. Basically Nick also said he is a mouthpiece for the MOD.......
The annoying thing is as he says he is off to speak at another UFO event next month and was not sure what
he will talk about , probably an update on Rendlesham ? . Also he has lots of media work appearing in
several UFO docs basically , debunking and saying absolutely " NOTHING " !!!...............LOL

British MoD Still With-Holding Secret UFO Documents
Sunday 28th September 2014 at 10:13 By
http://www.davidicke.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/British-MoD-Still-With-holding-Secret-UFO-Documents.png
THE UFO CHRONICLES.............
‘The British Ministry of Defense is still withholding high-level UFO public
policy papers, along with other key information, despite the public stance
that all material has been transferred to the National Archives, according
to John F. Burroughs, a retired USAF security officer. Burroughs, 54, was
stationed at RAF Bentwaters in 1980 and witnessed one of the most
significant UFO events in English history.’
According to Burroughs, the MOD commissioned a Top Secret Technical
Memorandum 55/2/00 in 2000, which was intended to provide the pretext
for closing down the MOD UFO desk. That Memorandum included a Key
Recommendation that "It should no longer be a requirement for DI55 to
monitor UAP reports as they do not demonstrably provide information
useful to Defense Intelligence."
Subsequent to the internal release of the Technical Memorandum, the UK
MOD shut down the public UFO (UAP) reporting desk and began a process
of transferring all of the UFO reports to the British National Archives.
According to the National Archives web page dated 21 June 2013 they stated
they had today released its tenth and final tranche of UFO files, containing
4,400 pages of UFO policy, correspondence and UFO sighting reports covering
the final two years of the Ministry of Defence's UFO Desk (from late 2007
until November 2009).
The files reveal for the first time the reasons behind the closure of the UFO
Desk and how sightings had become a social phenomenon making tabloid
headlines and sparking a disclosure campaign for 'the truth'.
Dr. David Clarke, author of the book 'The UFO Files', said: 'The last pieces of
the puzzle have finally been revealed with this insight into the last days of the
UFO Desk. These files spell out clearly why the Ministry of Defense decided -
after 60 years - it no longer needed to keep tabs on sightings, even those
made by 'credible' people such as police officers and pilots. The last files from
the UFO desk are now all in the public domain. People at home can read them
and draw their own conclusions about whether 'the truth' is in these files or
still out there.'
This seeming act of transparency was apparently a ruse, as FOIA requests by
Burroughs have revealed two further versions of the truth.
In an initial response the MOD admitted the existence of 6 crucial UFO/UAP
public policy papers which have NOT been released. According to that version
UFO/UAP Policy papers dating from 1971 through 2004 have been held back.
These papers contain the MOD public information policy for over three decades,
including a change from the use of the term 'UFO' to 'UAP', in June of 2000.
Burroughs feels this change was an attempt to conceal MOD information on the
UFO issue from June, 2000 onward by referring to the phenomenon in question
as Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon, (UAP) rather than the well-understood
"Unidentified Flying Object" (UFO). The change would allow the MOD to make
the claim that no further information on the UFO is being held, while maintaining
information on the UAP.
In response to a follow-up FOIA request, the MOD revised its position to say that
they were still maintaining 18 UFO documents as classified.
The MOD said that the documents were being 'prepared' for public release -- meaning
reviewed for material that should remain redacted -- at a later date. When Burroughs
submitted a request for early release of the classified documents, the MOD declined,
claiming that doing so would 'delay the planned public release" of the material.
"This makes little sense to me," Burroughs said, "as releasing them to me would
accelerate access to the information contained, not delay it. The MOD is clearly
dragging its feet on full disclosure, while presenting the illusion to the public that
it has already happened."
Nick Pope, Co-Author of the book Encounter in Rendlesham Forest with James
Penniston and Burroughs, and former Directorate of Defense Security, Ministry
of Defense who's gone on record saying Rendlesham might be the turning point
in history that leads to the explanation of the UFO phenomenon" stated this when
he learned of Burroughs FOIA discovery.
"I knew for sure that not everything had been released, because by the MOD's own
admission, some files/documents had been lost, some destroyed, some redacted and
some withheld altogether. Also, material where the information owner is a defense
contractor (e.g. some of the Project Condign working papers) is exempt from disclosure
altogether, as private companies are outside the scope of the Freedom of Information
Act". The bottom line is this: whether it's exempt from the FOIA entirely,
withheld/redacted under exemptions to the FOIA, destroyed or lost, some material on
Project Condign and on the Rendlesham Forest incident has yet to emerge, and some
may never come to light”.
Burroughs will be presenting the results of his active FOIA request program and his
analysis of MOD Technical Memorandum 55/2/00 at the Woodbridge Community hall
Station Rd Woodbridge Suffolk IP12 4AU on Saturday September, 20th at 7:00pm.
Also appearing with Burroughs will be Richard Dolan, Larry Warren and Gary Heseltine.
According to Burroughs, the significance of the contents of the Memo 55/2/00 has long
been overlooked by the research community because it was deliberately obtuse in nature.
The Memo is technically complicated and the writing was adroit in the process of stating
key facts while presenting a facade that the phenomenon under study was one of several
forms of rare, but naturally occurring weather aberration.
"You have to know what you are looking for," Burroughs said, and understand what is
actually being stated. The memorandum is a masterpiece of bureaucratic double-speak."
Among other points Burroughs will cover in his talk are the fact that there is an international
race to weaponize the technology employed by the phenomenon.
According to Burroughs, "The memo states clearly that 'Russian, Former Soviet Republics and
Chinese authorities have made a co-ordinated effort to understand the UAP topic.' and that high
level scientists, astronauts and senior pilots have been appointed to study groups."
The most significant accomplishment Burroughs has made to date is to correlate the described
characteristics of the 'true phenomenon', as he puts it, under study by the MOD, with a 2003
paper by Jaques Vallee and Eric Davis and a 2010 paper printed in the Journal of British
Interplanetary Science by Hal Puthoff.
Puthoff's paper, published a decade after the MOD memo, describes a theoretical propulsion
system for interstellar travel, based on the Alcubierre 'warp drive' concept.
"It boils down to this:" Burroughs stated, "Puthoff's predictions for effects of a drive capable
of interstellar travel match the effects of the UFO Phenomenon noted by Vallee/Davis and they
match the effects described by the MOD of the UAP Phenomenon under study." "Most significantly,
the predicted effects of the theoretical interstellar drive on humans in close proximity match those
of the MOD - which could not have known of Puthoff's theory at the time of the writing -- and they
match the symptoms I exhibit from a close encounter with the phenomenon while on duty at Bentwaters."
"I am convinced that this is the reason the DOD has classified my medical records and attempted
to doctor my Service Record to show I was not in service at the time, to allow the VA to deny me
benefits, but more importantly, keep the medical information about my condition a Classified secret.

This interview was aprox a week after Teresea May British home secretary
ruled against Gary's extradition to the US aprox Oct 2012...
Nick Pope, UK UFO Hacker Gary McKinnon
ZmLY4omdTHg
Nick Pope starts interview aprox 26 mins and talks about Gary's Mc Kinnon
and as usual Nick talks BS and basically dismiss Gary as a pot smoking
fantasy , conspiracist looking for free energy, and talks about how the law
changed in the post 9/11. He thinks Gary probably saw something
down loaded by NASA employees from UFO sites and he did not see anything
worth while. Nick talks about from his own top secret experience security in
the UK is very tight. Nick lets slip the two ships USSS Le May and Hillencutter ?
This could have been a slip by Nick , that he knows more than he is saying
as usual...LOL Again they make reference that Gary was a drinking and pot
smoking. When the reason Gary could not say all he knew and saw would
of definitely been prejudice to his case if he indeed ended up in court. Which
Nick half acknowledges as a possible ace up Gary sleeve.
Nick talks completely mainstream and from an establishment view as usual.
Then goes into the medical side of the case and Gary's possible suicide risk.
The interviewer also misinterprets Gary's possible deal early on , and that
the US would not put the plea deal in writing. Nick points out that Gary
was probably singled out as a deterrent to other hackers in the mainstream
Nick goes onto say that this does not effect the US/UK special relationship
as we are linked intelligence and military wise, this interview is pre Snowden
and we knew before and has been confirmed GCHQ is a hub for intel for
several NATO countries.
The interviewer was not very good unfortunately, other to reinforce Nick
is certainly not a 'disclosure truth seeker' just a MOD intelligence plant.
Neither of them could have re watched Gary's interviews before the show and
missed the main reason for Gary's search in the first place , the Donna Hare
disclosure testimony in 2001 before 9/11.

Gary watched the 2001 Disclosure Project National Press Club conference
testimonies and decided to look for the evidence himself. He claimed the
administrator passwords on most of the computers were unset making it
very easy to create a backdoor and then daisy chain from computer to
computer. He only had a 56Kb modem. The security must have been
virtually no existent.
He found two bits of crucial evidence:
The first was a list of transfers for non-terrestrial officers aboard ships
that were clearly not naval ships.
The second was verification of something Donna Hare, an ex NASA, claimed
in he Disclosure Project Testimony. She alleged that she went into Johnson
Space Center's Building 8 where a colleague showed here images, before and
after UFOs had been scrubbed out before showing to the public. Donna was a
member of a Houston Contactee club and had made it known that she was
interested in UFOs will working at NASA and that is how the incident came
to take place.

Donna Hare Disclosure Project interview
Gary managed to hack his way, along a string of computers until he got into a
console in Building 8 where he claims he found two folders marked something
like Unfiltered and Filtered. He saw one craft clearly above the atmosphere
which was no of this world.
This is a great interview by Project Camelot of Gary the one used in the recent
Hangar 1 UFO Files S01E06 Space Weapons

Project Camelot interviews Gary McKinnon
It took years of campaigning to get finally get Gary's extradition over turned and
the experience was taking it's toll.Many claimed that he had damaged hundreds
thousands of dollars worth of Naval computers but there is no real evidence of
that if anything he just highlighted there very poor security. That cost them a
great deal to fix.
Pretty much as Gary decided to download the filtered and unfiltered images from
NASA he got caught. At one point there was a list floating around the internet of
the space craft. But it disappeared never to be found again if anyone could dig it
up that would be a great challenge. I think his genuine motives make him a hero
but other disagree.

There are various types of researchers and whistleblowers , Richard D Hall
is one of the genuine ones imo , I do not agree with all his conclusions,
but he is willing to put ideas forward and challenge others in a constructive
way. Of course much is speculation but educated and if you follow the
sources they make sense in many cases.
Nick does not do this and admits it, yet has a success full alternate career
sponsored by his MOD pension and other earning from media , book and
other activities basically saying nothing and monitoring potential whistle
blower and off the air conversations at conferences for his real paymasters.
Good work if you can get it ...LOL and to be fair to Nick Pope he does not
deny he is bound by his security oath and will not disclose anything that
is not already in the public domain as he said in the Fade to black interview.
Nick Popes secondary case is the RAF Cosford triangular UFO case , but he
does not research it anywhere near how Richard research's his below....

Published on 18 Oct 2014
Please visit Richard D Hall's website RICHPLANET.NET http://www.richplanet.net ...
to see all his past shows, and so much more, covering all types of alternate issues
that the mainstream refuses to acknowledge.
The term "whistle blower" is a commonly used term. Richard's contention is that
any genuine whistle blower would not be granted air time in mainstream media.
Important whistle blowers such as Dr Judy Wood are not widely know about.
Another whistle blower who has not been given much coverage in mainstream
is Edgar Fouche. Fouche worked in a technical role for the U.S. Air Force for over
20 years and in 1998 published details of an aerial vehicle he claims has been
developed in secret by the N.S.A. and U.S.A.F. The performance characteristics
are mind boggling, using a field propulsion. In this lecture Richard argues that
NASA is effectively a cover organisation to keep the public amused. The more
advanced space vehicles and exploration programme have been secretised and
are being kept well away from public scrutiny. Are you happy about this?
====================================================
====================================================

In the above documentary Richard plays an interview with channel 4
film executive about a up coming doc by a comedian that will probably
be another hit piece , but we will see a very good telephone conversation.

Channel 4 beams up The Big E.T. Conspiracy (w/t)
07 Aug 2014
Coming soon, News Releases
http://www.channel4.com/media/images/CorporatePortal/Benji/2014/Factual/BG%20IMG0813_A2.jpg
Channel 4 has commissioned a one-off documentary from Plum Pictures that will
meet British people who believe in extra-terrestrial conspiracy theories.
Writer and comedian Dan Schreiber will travel across the UK to meet an array of
Brits who believe there is a global conspiracy to cover up alien visits to Earth. In
meeting these characters, Dan plans to discover why so many people of all walks of
life are captivated by extra-terrestrial mysteries. Along the way, he’ll hear
extraordinary theories on why authorities could be hiding the existence of aliens,
and how extra-terrestrial beings may already be walking among us.
Commissioned by Anna Miralis for Channel 4, this one-hour documentary will
include accounts from those who claim to have experienced close encounters,
interviews with leading experts in the ufology community and individuals who have
dedicated their life’s work to uncovering the alleged alien cover-ups.
As well as stand-up comedy, Dan’s career highlights include co-creating BBC Radio
4’s Museum of Curiosity and being a researcher/’Elf’ for BBC Two’s QI. Speaking
about the project, Dan comments: “Channel 4 have let me loose on my first ever
TV documentary to meet people who may have had contact with aliens. I’m
fascinated by conspiracy theories - the stories, the people and the connections they
make. This isn't about proving them right, or debunking them, it's just an
appreciation for some fantastic mind-blowing ideas.”
Will Daws, Executive Producer at Plum Pictures added: “Dan is an exciting new
presenter who brings a fresh insight into the world of the ET conspiracy theories.
He has embarked on a mysterious journey full of claims of strange sightings and
government cover ups, but never loses his sense of awe at being introduced to
some of the country’s best-known conspiracy theorists.“
Anna Miralis, commissioning editor for Documentaries at Channel 4, said: “We all at
some point consider whether we’re alone in the universe, and some have made it
their mission to convince the world that we aren’t. We’re excited to be working with
Plum Productions and Dan on this doc. His warm humour and genuine passion for
the topic make him the perfect frontman for the programme.”
The Big E.T. Conspiracy (w/t) is a 1 x 60 minute documentary from Plum Pictures.
It is directed by Daniel Lucchesi and executive produced by Will Daws.

The notion of your thread is perfectly understood, Cidersomerset. I think James Bartley has said it right on his last 'Hyperspace' interview -
"The UFO Milleu do not adress the core issues.."
Between 45:00-48:00 is the mentioning of Nick Pope
From 33:00 to 45:00 a longer 'rant' about the UFO community in general and their rather one sided choice of focus on their research
But the whole interview is most recommended and there are other names that are mentioned in the same context..

Thanks limor two very good segments , and in the 45 -48 seg
he is saying exactly what I'm trying to make everyone see.
There is probably several intel agents in the disclosure field and
most of the main researchers have been accused of this including
our own Bill and Kerry , and some are probably genuine. The thing
with Nick Pope it is so obvious and he has monopolised the news
reports and been on all the TV docs in the last few years.
As I also say Nick does not deny it and the Fade to Black interview
at the top , spells this out imo...LOL

Gary Heseltine and Professional Debunker and Skeptic Chris French shout it out over the
"Facts" of the Redlesham Forest UFO events, 1980 after a challenge laid down by Gary
on the same show in Feb 2012
Gary's position in essence:- the events over the three nights were UFO Related. French
states in essence the US military were clueless idiots who saw a lighthouse, one of the
official Debunkers position. Nick Pope gets a slamming.
They used a geiger counter in the wrong manner, showing doubt on the radiation measurements.
These USAF Officers and men, who were in charge of an active Nuclear base in time of high alert
are slandered by devbunkers as clueless and "mistaken" poor old sods who shouldn't be allowed
out without a minder.
Both positions rigoressly defended, in a hot debate. Would Chris trust anyone who saw anything?
On his logic, NO. Especially when they are in the services?

My main gripe with Nick as a 'gate keeper' he knows more than he is
prepared to disclose until he is allowed to. This is a interesting little
segment from a interview from 2007. When George asks him if
he is able to discuss what he knew ? Nick says only what has been
declassified of course....This is my problem with him and he has
never denied it that his disclosure is selective and authorised
either by his employers or self censorship. Unless he has changed
recently.

Nick Pope doing his gatekeeper media role as usual , cagey as ever he is confirming
governments cover this up and UFO's exist. But still leaving wriggle room , one of
his better ones maybe ??
Nick bugs me because he knows much more than he will say in public as I have said
earlier in the thread , He admits he cannot break his security oath which is fair
enough so he should let other researchers like Gary Heseltine respond to the media.
He is commenting on the recent release.....

Grant and others quote the Condign report and Nick Pope talked about it in
2015 in his usual 'double talk' fashion...The last minute of the vid below is
very telling in my opinion, he is talking about a paragraph in the report and
comments on a redaction.....
" I do remember what it says under the xxxxx's, but my secrecy , my security
oath does bind me for life and while I can speak fairly openly about things the
MOD has declassified ,If they haven't declassified I can't talk about it. I'm not
a 'whistleblower' sorry ".... Nick Pope...
For me he never
leads or exposes and he admits at the end he is not a 'Whistleblower'and can
only talk on material already released by the MOD as he is still bound by his
security oath.
The condign report was released with other docs in 2006 and Nick is
talking about it in 2015 , he only ever seems to talk about these things
when they are in the open . He talks about UAP's as distractions and
quotes his view on UFO's from a paragraph from the condign report.
Meaning for me he is paralleling/monitoring official disclosure , never
really disclosing anything that has not been fed to him.
Its like he is a Trojan horse put into the UFO community to act as a
conduit between the intel agencies and the public so that being an
ex MOD employee it gives them the perfect spy hidden in plain sight
which as we have seen the mainstream media go to first for limited
information from Nick whatever the event. Yes he does drop bread
crumbs and his work on Rendlesham could be looked as keeping an
eye on how its been released over the decades. For me he never
leads or exposes and he admits at the end he is not a 'Whistleblower'
and can only talk on material already released by the MOD as he
is still bound by his security oath.

This is just updating the thread with a couple vids showing Nicks current
view on disclosure. Nick is never controversial and tows the government/MOD
line on UFO's on the whole , but if you listen to the vid below with that in
mind he does confirm a few things from his experience....
Aprox 42 mins in he makes it clear again he is not a 'whistleblower' and is
bound by his security oath and he keeps in touch with MOD. He also
confirmed he will not disclose redacted material or any classified material
that has not been released. Regarding Luis Elizondo,he says he is also not a
'whistleblower' and will be fully aware he would be arrested if he did disclose
classified material...

For sure, Pope is saying only what the government lets him say. But his admitting to spinning stories is interesting....if I have that right. Either this is part of a greater disclosure agenda or it is a limited hangout....as in, it is meant to give the impression that he is no longer spinning.
I must admit, I feel kind of bad for him as lately he looks rather ill. Maybe it's just age. Does anyone else get that impression?

when he explains he is still bound by his security oath and is not and does not
condone 'whistle blowers' and he obviously knows a lot more than he is willing to
disclose unless it becomes unclassified. The reason it is very important to keep
pointing this out is he has become the mainstream real Fox Mulder and is used
by them to front the subject......
In this short interview they actually cover some interesting ground confirming
in the UK as well it is MOD contractors who hold UFO sighting reports. He
confirms he is still part of the declassification team for the MOD and is kept
in the loop and more.....
