Dear All, Please find some thoughts below from my wife Philippa, in relation to the recent communications on MILABS and Abductee Support from a Therapist’s point of view. Best regards, Alan Foster.

My name is Philippa Foster, and I am the wife of Alan Foster (Advisory Board of Exopolitics – Research and Education). After many years of UFOlogical research and working as a Therapist offering support to Abductees in the UK, I feel I needed to write in relation to the recent comments on MILABS (which also happens in Britain) and Mary Rodwell’s comments re: Help for experiencers in Britain.

I have been following with interest the various discussions surrounding MILABS, and how this affects Disclosure. It is a sobering thought that the very people one hopes will legitimize Disclosure, may be complicit in such atrocities. But this needn’t wrong foot the goals of Exopolitics, as there is more to politics than speeches from high level politicians. Politics should also be about helping people adapt to difficult issues – which in this case is recognizing that we are in a larger cosmic neighborhood, and then helping with the after effects of this revelation.

We are not waiting for the First Contact scenario, as this has already happened. Most recently in the 1940s and 50s, but also many times in past history, with the interaction of the Sumerian ‘gods’ as a prime example. The translations of Zechariah Sitchin attest to the early genetic experiments on humans by the so called Annunaki, so it should be no surprise that modern day Abduction accounts mirror these experiments, with an emphasis on inter-species breeding programs.

Unfortunately, the unpleasantness of the subject matter, means many UFOlogists shy away from abductees, as if they bring UFOlogy into disrepute. However, this needn’t be the case. The wonderful thing about modern day UFOlogy, is that we have an embarrassment of riches as far as evidence of ET interaction is concerned. And many of these interactions have been wonderfully enriching for the Contactees involved. So, yes, there do seem to be ‘good’ ETs out there. But unfortunately there are also ‘bad’ ETs. One gets chastised for differentiating between Good and Bad, and I have thought deeply on this point many times, but feel that it is not prejudice but common sense to choose your allies wisely. The bible says, ‘you will know them by their actions’ and I think this can be applied to the Contact scenario. It is not about species, but intention. The surface appearance is less important than the content of the experience, and as we know, looks can be deceptive. Bob Dean has said that it was the ETs that looked human that worried the military most, as they could walk through the ‘corridors of power’ unnoticed. And also many people have reported the ability of some ETs/Inter-dimensional Beings to change their appearance or shape-shift. We also have to accept that hybrids and PLFs are also victims in all of this.

Exopolitics has the most difficult of tasks on its hands, because if Disclosure is wished for, we have to be prepared to face all aspects of the phenomenon, some of which are truly horrific. I think this is a watershed moment for Disclosure where it moves to a level where all Experiencer’s accounts are embraced, not just the presentable ones. The human race is remarkably resilient, and people need the whole truth, even if it is not always palatable.

The recognition that there is a grimmer side of ET contact, actually paves the way for the most important task ahead, which is to get help for the victims of Abductions, whether they be perpetrated by ETs or Military units, or both. We should aim to pursue this, even if Government Disclosure is not forthcoming. We need more sympathetic medical professionals of the caliber of Dr Roger Leir, and the much missed Dr John Mack, so that when people suffer the negative physical and emotional effects of abduction, they can get the professional help they need, without fear of repercussions. (An understanding of mental health issues would be helpful, as the effects can be devastating to the mental wellbeing of some individuals). And Budd Hopkins and Carol Rainey have made a huge contribution to our understanding of the science supporting the validity of abductee testimony. David Jacobs and Whitley Strieber have also made staggeringly important contributions by their fearless pursuit of the truth. Make no mistake, Abduction research and therapy is not for the faint hearted. But we are in the privileged position of benefitting from their body of work, to help us collectively find solutions to the problems suffered by the victims of this phenomenon. With this in place, it becomes easier to cope with the fall-out from Disclosure.

On Sunday morning, myself and Alan watched an interview with Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu, recalling his work with the ‘Truth and Reconciliation Commission’, dealing with the aftermath of Apartheid in South Africa. I believe that Exopolitics will potentially have to play a similar role, because with the New Dawn of Disclosure, will also come the horror of revealing what has taken place. But from that can come a new beginning for humanity, and forgiveness will play a huge part in that process. Maybe that was what was being alluded to in the film ‘District 9’. It was awful to watch, but touched on many important issues. It was deeply uncomfortable because of its setting (South Africa), as a reminder of man’s inhumanity to man, but it also showed the social problems of being touched by an outside phenomenon. When the lead character was forever changed by his involvement with the aliens, and started to become ‘different’, he was not only cast out from is family, but they were even ready to offer him up to the authorities. He then found himself experimented on by a shadowy organization, that wanted to benefit from his hybrid DNA so they could develop new weapons, and with whom there was no reasoning or mercy. There was no one he could call for help, and instead had to live amongst the aliens who he had once despised. Indeed, I have heard many abductees and particularly Star Children say to me, that although they hate what the ETs do to them, the social problems associated with being different, means they are often cast adrift by their loved ones, and they can’t trust the military who they fear are complicit, and so they end up forming uncomfortable alliances with their abducters in the absence of any better alternative. Furthermore, they cannot go to their doctor with their physical problems (internal scaring, infections, implants etc) for fear of being considered mentally ill, and inevitably put on heavy medication, with the additional problems that come with that. To compound the problem, the ETs sometimes tell them that they will make them well if they co-operate, which is clearly blackmail, but what alternative does the victim have?

The second major problem I have come across is the difficulties therapists face in Britain when trying to help abductees. Mary Rodwell sees the need for more help for experiencers in Britain, and I totally agree, however it has proved to be a very difficult task, and I have seen so much over the years that I now cannot in good conscience ask any more therapists to put themselves on the line, until some support is available for them too.

A few years ago myself and Alan helped to gather together a dozen or so Therapists, who were open to the idea of helping experiencers with any trauma associated with the more negative contact experiences. And also to give people the opportunity to share good experiences as well. It was very informal, but fully confidential, and often free of charge. It ranged from just offering a listening ear, to regression and counseling where needed. In Britain, it was Complementary therapists who were most able to help people, as they were more open minded to other realities than mainstream medical personnel. However, there was a high turnover rate of Therapists offering support to Contactees (benevolent contact) and Abductees (malevolent contact), because it tends to wreak havoc with the therapists lives. They get no support from the mainstream medical profession and it may harm their careers, but also, they suffer personal attacks from a variety of sources. Some just could not come to terms with the stories they were hearing. Others had their phones tapped, their homes buzzed by helicopters, and they often fell ill. Some were also subjected to abductions themselves. And I think this is what was being depicted in the film ‘The Fourth Kind’.

Whether you believe the content of the film or not, it does reflect the professional isolation and personal horrors that some Abduction Support Therapists have suffered. It seems the abductors are not happy to have interference with their subjects… The therapists who stay the course longest, tend to be those who advocate co-operation, but there are many abductees who cannot ever accept what is being done to them, particularly if their children are being targeted too. But people have to somehow survive their experiences, and in the absence of any protection being given to them, one can understand why people might choose to submit rather than fight against impossible odds. Maybe that’s what happened back in the 1940s/50s, when we are lead to believe that official agreements were made with certain ETs to allow abductions in return for technology. Was it a case of ‘if you can’t beat them, join them?’. Are we still suffering the consequences of those decisions?

For the future, there are many wrongs that cannot be undone, but there is also a massive opportunity for change, and healing. We need high level people to help with the effects of ET Contact, whilst keeping optimistic of the benefits of embracing our cosmic destiny. Desmond Tutu said that sometimes you have to open a wound to be able to clean and dress it. ET and Military abductions are both wounds that need cleaning and dressing, to enable us to move forwards with the next stage of Contact. Although I am not confident that justice will be done, a line needs to be drawn, where we say ‘this can never happen again’. And thanks to the brave souls who have spoken about their experiences with ETs and Interdimensional beings, we can see that beyond the few bad apples, there are also many more non-earthly beings who will treat us with respect. Humans can be amazing, and shouldn’t have to feel inferior to our cosmic neighbours. The benevolent ETs extend invitations to humanity to enter the Cosmic arena as equals, not subordinates, and it is important that we believe that, so that we make our own choices about our collective future, or we risk having it imposed upon us, by beings whose motives are less noble. And Exopolitics and Disclosure are hugely important in this endeavour.
