MAJIC EYES ONLY
Dr. Michael Aquino (Colonel, U.S. Army – Ret.), who spent his entire 24-year career creating and managing enemy deception in psychological operations and propaganda, had this to say after studying SOM 1-01 and the Majestic documents:
“I don’t see the MJ-12 documents as comprising an effective psyop campaign of any sort. What would be the purpose?
If MJ-12 existed and the docs were supposed to be believable, they would just draw more attention to the Majestic program that the government wanted under wraps.
PSYOP, despite the ‘ooga-booga’ mythology around it, is not a very complicated process. A target audience is thinking about a subject one way, and you want to get them to think about it another way.
If MJ-12 were in fact a real, top-secret government operation, then anything using its name or orbiting around its business would not be remotely appropriate for any advertisement or publicity whatever.
The only situation in which I could see PSYOP resources playing a part would be one in which the cat were out of the bag, and the government then acted to trivialize or minimize it.
Dr. Aquino further added that he would be very surprised if there were not a blue-ribbon panel—similar to MJ-12—to investigate UFOs, noting that high-level panels exist for many national security threats.

Subject: Re: My new article on MJ-12 and Serpo
Read your posting and as one who was foolishly taken in by the MJ-12 fantasy (which is what it is) I heartedly agree with your assessment. My father was trained by the OSI in 1949 and held a UFO Program clearance at ADC headquarters from 1957 to 1963 that allowed him to read and duplicate the most sensitve [sic] UFO-related material and never once believed there was a secret cabal group operating by that name.
Since ADC was the primary consumer of all military UFO sighting reports while LeMay was Chief of Staff it is unconceivable that government intelligence or the military for that matter as my dad would put it would deliberately hide or mislead senior ADC intelligence officers of an alien threat from the sky and, at the same time, send their intercept pilots into harms way without being briefed of the possible dangers.
The MJ-12 documents, and I mean ALL of them (including SOM 1-01), are a hoax and those who promote them as reality know this[,] or should know this. I showed him a copy and he said it was disinformation for the Soviets as the CIA and AF routinely did these kind of things all the time to get the Russians to spend enormous sums of money to investigate this and other "paper" jobs. As regards Serpo... pure science fiction but good science fiction.
As a unwitting dupe in this charade (I must confess I was willing to be led into believeing [sic] it by Friedman and the Woods), I have since distanced myself and have ceased association with Collins after the book Exempt From Disclosure (which, I might add, was poorly edited and had my name as co-author air brushed out at my insistence) was released.
My only inclusion in the book amounted to Collins taking a speculative piece I wrote for the internet back in 1999 about James Jesus Angleton which he unilaterally edited into the book and was not a co-author in any real sense.
By the way[,] I have your book and found it precise and very informative. If my dad were still alive today he would have confirmed for you some of the incidents you cite but earlier incidents as early as 1963. He was always coy when the subject came up but his Special Citation upon his retirement reflected he knew what ADC was up against.
Thanks for the e-mail.
