I was on Coast to Coast Tuesday night after an 11th hour phone call to book me when this crop circle turned up in Indonesia.

It was a good hour. I got to talk about my perspectives on the state of the world and how the circles could help wake us up to a bigger reality.

I hadn’t picked up on a report the AP put out about the new circle — the first in Indonesia if it turns out to be the real deal. I wish I had so I could have talked about it with George. How dare they say this, for which there is no evidence? Indeed, it could turn out to be human-made, but at this writing it still was undetermined.

Here’s what the AP report said:

Though clearly sculptured by humans — it looks like an intricately designed flower — the 70-yard-wide (70-meter-wide) circle has drawn so much attention that police have blocked off the area with yellow tape.

This is from a piece online that skewers the AP.

While the country’s officials from it’s nuclear and space agencies have briefly stopped by to take a look and declare it UFO free, what is quite possibly the most irritating is a press release from the Associated Press which states that the crop circle is “clearly sculptured by humans.”

I find this statement absolutely irresponsible coming from a news agency of it’s kind. Unless the article was a blog post in the opinion editorial section of the news site, there’s no reason that opinions should be drawn into an information article. I can get away with it because this is a public blog that offers news to its readers, but I am far from the level of the AP and these articles where I speak from my own heart, spilling my own opinions go into the opinion editorial category of posts.

That being said, the statement by the AP is just that, a representation of a statement by the agency itself, specifically since they did not include an author’s name, meaning that the agency owns the article and claims it as it’s own. While there is no real explanation so far for this crop circle in particular, let alone the hundreds of others around the world that still remain a mystery, to make a statement like they did is completely out of line and irresponsible as it misleads readers into thinking that it has been declared as such. News agencies from Indonesia and surrounding areas that have spoken with the country’s officials are reporting that there still is no explanation. Since it’s only the second reported crop circle ever to appear in Indonesia, the first being claimed and proven a hoax, officials are still investigating. The resources being spent on the investigation, including military aircraft surveillance and travel for officials from agencies around the country tells me that the government thinks there must be something curious about this formation or they wouldn’t be paying it any mind outside of local law enforcement imposing crowd control on the thousands of people that are showing up to take a peek themselves.

It is my honest opinion that the statement by the AP that placed judgment so quickly, is due to one of two things. The first is the ongoing discrimination against extraterrestrial UFO believers around the world which are actually increasing in numbers as our scientists continue to discover more and more potential habitable exoplanets, numbers of sightings and reports are increasing in mass and frequency, and the general public is starting to understand just how much their government has been lying to them all along so why should we believe their lies now? Of course there are other reasons that people are becoming believers in extraterrestrial UFO’s, but nonetheless, national polls are showing surprising numbers of believers of a subject matter that was taboo for a long time. Some still find those of us more outspoken believers to be a bit wacky, but surprisingly, more and more people are becoming curious more than anything else.

The second possibility, in my opinion, the AP would be so careless and irresponsible is government pressure. It has been no secret that our wonderful government controls a lot of what the media is actually allowed to discuss or say in spite of freedom of speech. Simply watching Canadian and UK news programs and archives can open one’s eyes to a world, events, issues and problems within our own country that we never hear about. Our news outlets have been almost completely saturated with diversions including sickening amounts of celebrity gossip. The Fox affiliate in Los Angeles spends more time in it’s early morning news program covering fashion, dining and celebrity topics than any legitimate news source should. No matter who is behind it, there is a powerful force pushing Americans farther into the shallow thoughts of wealth, personal appearance, celebrity happenings and buy buy buy, rather than caring for our fellow man or even recognizing our fellow man. Sadly, the majority of Americans have no real awareness of world events. It’s as if the planet IS the United States of America and no one else exists except for those pesky South Americans and the bad guys that are hogging all the oil.
