The Pentagon opens a door for UAP whistleblowers

On September 14 the Defense Department issued a waiver that lets past and present civilian personnel, service members and contractors share UAP-related information with PURSUE, the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters, without triggering breach-of-agreement penalties. PURSUE is the White House initiative directing federal agencies and the military services to gather their internal UAP records for possible declassification and public release.

In the Pentagon's own words, the step "establishes an authorized pipeline for systematic review, security evaluation, and potential declassification of historical and ongoing UAP data." The Disclosure Foundation's executive director called it "a meaningful step toward establishing the facts."

A private archive the Pentagon wants to read

Two weeks earlier, DefenseScoop reported that the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, AARO, is pursuing a sole-source contract for access to the National UFO Historical Records Center, the New Mexico nonprofit led by David Marler. A Pentagon official described it as holding "the world's largest private collection of UAP-related historical records, including hundreds of thousands of unique case files." AARO is particularly interested in pre-1990 material, to meet Congress's requirement that it review government involvement with UAP since 1945. The archive includes files once belonging to Dr. J. Allen Hynek of Project Blue Book.

Union and Water Crisis at the Aria


By Elmer Whittaker

In the past year I have been playing a lot of poker at the Aria and Bellagio Both Casinos are part of MGM Resorts where I happened to play a lot here in Las Vegas off and on for almost 30 years.

Naturally, most Poker Dealers and Poker Room staff are very familiar with me and even many Cocktail Waitresses often know me by sight and some even remember what I usually drink. Coffee in a paper cup and water.

And that’s what I usually order when I get to a poker room. Black coffee in a paper cup and a bottle of FIJI water. Sometimes when I first get to the poker room and feel dehydrated, I order a black coffee and two bottles of water. Usually without a problem. Then once I’m all coffeed out, I just order one or two bottles of water for the rest of the night.

Bump and Slide Fire Stocks






Instead of re-hashing the age old discussion about gun control with the same old pro and contra arguments I see the urgent need of talking about an issue of which many have not been aware.

Common Sense Immigration Reform


By Elmer Whittaker 

Just hours after rescinding DACA and the threat of shutting down the government to get approval for Trump’s Border Wall the need for Immigration Reform seems more urgent than ever. 

Neither illegal immigration nor open borders can be tolerated in a sovereign nation of laws and order. The following will give a common-sense approach to immigration reform and end illegal immigration.

Gun Owners Not Welcome at the Wynn’s!



By Elmer Whittaker 





I had a late start playing poker and it was already close to midnight on Saturday July 30, 2016 when I called into the Wynn’s Poker Room to have my name put on the waiting list for a poker game. At around 0:15 am Sunday morning I arrived at the Wynn’s Poker Room and automatically sought and stop by the security guard stationed at the entrance of the poker room where they routinely search all bags and suitcases brought into the poker room for inspection.

Watch Lists And Jury Selection



By Elmer Whittaker



I moved to Las Vegas, Clark County, NV around 1989/1990 and changed my NY Driver’s License to a Nevada Driver’s License sometimes in the early 90’s. Shortly thereafter I also applied for a Clark County Sheriff’s Card with the LVMPD and soon thereafter I must have registered to vote here in Clark County. 

Racism And The Police




By Elmer Whittaker

Although racism is clearly behind much of the police and judicial corruption, I do not believe that racism is the foundation of injustices against a large number of our citizenry. Many police abusers are black themselves and without a doubt for every black victim of police misconduct there is at least a non-black victim to be found. I do not even believe that minorities are targeted because they are minorities or of a certain ethnical background.

Black Lives Matter Too!



By Elmer Whittaker


Recently, former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani called “Black Lives Matter” inherently racist, anti-American and divisive amongst other things in an interview.

I am afraid, but not surprised that I cannot agree with much of Rudy Giuliani’s comments in regards to “Black Lives Matter” other than a few points. Rudy Giuliani is clearly part of the problem.
