http://www.bonnievent.com Even as most Americans wonder what planet politicians are from, is it possible that the government is squelching evidence of extraterrestrials visiting Earth? One former presidential hopeful says yes -- and that the conspiracy goes all the way to the top. Former Sen. Mike Gravel (D-Alaska) says the White House has helped keep the truth about the "extraterrestrial influence that is investigating our planet" from the public. "It goes right to the White House, and of course, once the White House takes a position, 'well there's nothing going on'...it just goes down the chain of command, everyone stands toe," Gravel tells Top Line. Gravel is one of six former congress representatives who were paid $20,000 by the UFO advocacy group Paradigm Research to participate in a Congressional-style Citizen Hearing on Disclosure in Washington this week, where witness after witness has presented first-hand accounts of UFO sightings and extraterrestrial visits. Gravel says the strongest accounts of alien encounters are from former military officers, such as retired Air Force Capt. Robert Salas, who testified that UFOs temporarily disabled nuclear weapons on his watch. "The smoking gun of the whole issue, which is when they saw hovering space craft in Wyoming and South Dakota over the ICBM missile silos that the missiles couldn't work," Gravel says. Gravel says the media has aided what he sees as a government cover-up by not taking reports of ET encounters seriously. "What we're faced with here is, in areas of the media, and the government too, an effort to marginalize and ridicule people who have specific knowledge," he says. When asked about the fact that he was compensated for his participation in the hearing, Gravel says it did not influence him to agree with the testimony. "This is an opportunity which I've taken to focus on this issue for an entire week and the preparation I made in coming to it, for my enrichment that's very important," Gravel says. For a ride into the outer limits of human knowledge on the possibility of alien life, and to hear how Gravel thinks the world should treat potential alien visitors, come along for this expedition of Top Line.

http://www.sdparanormal.com/articles/article/7414210/172585.htm Los Angeles (CNN) -- Paris Jackson, the 15-year-old daughter of Michael Jackson, was rushed to a hospital early Wednesday morning, sources close to the Jackson family told CNN. Katherine Jackson's personal lawyer told CNN that Paris "is OK." "Being a sensitive 15-year-old is difficult no matter who you are," attorney Perry Sanders said Wednesday morning. "It is especially difficult when you lose the person closest to you. Paris is physically fine and is getting appropriate medical attention. Please respect her privacy and the family's privacy." Other Jackson sources stopped short of calling the incident a suicide attempt, although one suggested it might be "a cry for help" from the teenager. Paris posted messages to her million-plus Twitter followers late Tuesday evening: Who\'s who in Jackson trial Who's who in Jackson trial Photos: Michael Jackson, King of Pop Photos: Michael Jackson, King of Pop "i wonder why tears are salty?" "yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away "now it looks as though they're here to stay" The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said its deputies "responded to a medical situation" at an address that matches the Jackson's Calabasas home at 1:27 a.m. Wednesday. A patient was taken to a hospital, it said. Paris was recently reunited with her mother, who bowed out of her life when she was an infant. She has been spending time with Debbie Rowe on her horse farm. Rowe issued a statement through her lawyer Wednesday morning: "We appreciate everyone's thoughts for Paris at this time and their respect for the family's privacy." Paris, along with her grandmother, Katherine Jackson, and her brothers, Prince and Blanket, are suing AEG Live for liability in Michael Jackson's 2009 drug overdose death. Paris and Prince are scheduled to testify in the wrongful death trial later this month. Both teens were questioned in depositions for two days each by AEG lawyers in recent months. Paris made millions cry four years ago when she spoke up at the end of the public memorial service for her father. "Ever since I was born, daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine," she said, fighting back tears as relatives consoled her. "And I just want to say that I love him so much," she said as she burst into tears and sought refuge in the embrace of family members.
