The Enigma Of The Mysterious Men In Black, Part 2
Alright, folks, in that last entry I was simply waxing a tad facetious, or perhaps even ludicrous, with all that mindless drivel. The truth is, I have done some serious research on the subject, although not quite as exhaustive as I would like. So let’s get to the bottom of the matter.
Do Men in Black really exist, or are they the product of our wildly vivid imaginations? Is there any real evidence out there?
Of all the recorded accounts concerning UFOs and Men in Black, I’m sure many of them are either hoaxes or just wild tales, but I do believe some of them may be genuine. I have been reading a book called, The Truth Behind Men in Black, by Jenny Randles, who has been investigating these strange phenomena for many years now. She has talked with countless individuals who have had UFO sightings and related phenomena, which opened them up for MIB encounters. Most of these eyewitnesses kept quiet for several years before they mustered up enough courage to revealed their stories, but with great reluctance, because the frightening dark-suited men scared them just enough to shut them up. This MIB phenomenon has taken place not only in the United States, but also in Australia and Great Britain. So it’s absurd to think that this whole MIB phenomenon is simply an American hoax, since it is occurring elsewhere, and there are countless cases throughout Great Britain, incidentally, where Jenny Randles hails from. She also claims there is a global spread of this phenomenon.
Conspiracy theorists have claimed that the MIB could be anything from covert government agents to alien/human hybrids. I disagree with the latter; sounds too much like science-fiction malarkey. But Jenny Randles says that the MIB could be “the product of a covert operation on the fringes of government study into UFOs.” But she also states that this theory even poses big questions. She goes on to say, “Why would any government act in this way, particularly given the bizarre nature of many of the MIB stories? Where do these visitors come from, given that the official line of all major powers is that they categorically do not send investigators to frighten witnesses? What is the purpose of the MIB activities — from simple threats to impersonation and even theft of evidence such as films and tapes?”
Okay, point taken. It would make sense, even to a typical skeptic, that if there was any truth to the MIB activities, it would most likely be government agents silencing people, because the US and British governments are still trying to cover up the whole UFO phenomenon. But even if this was true, why would these government agents literally harass people and threaten them, scaring them into submission, to where these innocents literally remain quiet for many years? It doesn’t make sense, unless these governments are corrupt themselves. But wouldn’t it be treasonous for me to accuse our government of being corrupt? Except that we have the freedom and the right to speak our minds in this great country of ours — or so we assume, or is that right being violated? Alright, just to be on the safe side, I’ll declare that our government is not corrupt — perhaps just a little bit misguided.
So if the government is somehow involved with the creation of the MIB, or if it is a covert operation sanctioned by the government, then they are legally harassing, threatening, and silencing witnesses of UFO phenomenon, and violating our rights. Yep, a tad misguided.
Here’s another angle which may explain things. If the MIB are a covert operation, not connected to our regular known government, could they be part of an invisible secret government? Is the known government an exterior prop or figurehead? And are our government leaders just puppets, and if so, who is really pulling the strings? Obviously, this is just another wild conspiracy theory — or is it?
So these insidious Silencers couldn’t possibly be part of some legitimate government I don’t think, or is it naïve to think our government wouldn’t stoop that low and be this corrupt? If the MIB have no connection with the government, then perhaps it’s not as misguided as I thought. Phew! Off the hook! And yet I disbelieve the MIBs are alien/human hybrids, or even aliens in disguise posing as dark-suited humans. But I could be wrong. Although many cases claim these Men in Black appeared very awkward in speech and mannerisms, and they even looked peculiar, not quite human.
Quite often these MIBs would confiscate film footage, photographs, or videotapes that the witnesses had possession of, or any kind of evidence whatsoever. If you ever watched The X-Files, you will recall the government was always several steps ahead of Special Agent Fox Mulder; who would get so close that they would always make sure the evidence had disappeared, quite often right under his nose, so he was unable to report anything substantial to his superiors. He was always made to look like a ridiculous, fanatical crackpot. And this pretty much typifies what happens to UFO investigators and eyewitnesses of UFOs alike. It’s all part of the great cover-up.
Is there anything that we the public can do about it? Yes! Write audacious articles about the subject. That’s all I can do.
