Ascent of the Common Man

THE RUSSIAN MEDIA isn't really all that different from its american counterpart; it hits hard, it hits often, and it really attacks at the end of a presidential or prime ministerial press conderence, figuring they have nothing to lose, and, hell, the leader is tired, worn down, ready to give.

Within this delightful civilized set of circumstances the russian media ganged up on and voraciously attacked russian prime minister medvedev a few weeks ago, at the end of a long series of questions about nothing in particular and everything in general, in which he had given his all, and was spent.

He confessed that the russian government has secret information concerning aliens; that whenever any new leader assumes power in russia he is handed a thick notebook detailing the precise nature of this information.

In a way, he seemed to be joking, in a way, he didn't. The questions was thrown at him in the half witted hope that he might really hadve something and, under duress, spill it by accident. Another possibility is taht medvddev, feeling put upon by an overly aggressive gang of reporters, decided to mess with it a bit.

Either way, the real truth about aliens and human contact probably does not lay concealed in government circles, russian, american, or any other. Most probably it lies within the hearts and minds of nightshift cops, airline pilots, naval deck hands, and other ordinary run of the mill folks.

whatever a man like medvedev says, we pay attention. So, men like medvedev must be careful what they say.

We tend to want to focus on the powerful, the famous, the dominant. In so doing wo often forget the enormous impact the millions of us "little people" have on human history and culture. Most human achievement is provided by the masses, and ignored.  Even when it comes to UFOs, the best sources of information are probably people you have never heard of.

Somebody should get busy describing the history of all of us, because we all have a contribution or two to make.
