In an interview with Richard Dolan relating to his research and his new book he suggests that by privatizing research on alien artifacts and technology it can be secreted away and more tightly controlled by "whomever." Consider this, if the technology is sooo far advanced that there is no real way of knowing where the research might lead what sort of controls are in place to keep the "private sector parties" doing that research, from completely making off with the results and using them for their own purposes?
In other words could the discoveries they make be used to keep the military or whomever at bay in furthering their control over a given project. Take the possibility of time travel where the mechanism of cause and effect, which we take foregranted because it seems built into our temporal paradigm, could be overridden by some alien device. We have seen lots of science fiction stories about this general topic, but what at one time seemed quite impossible now is far more possible. Definitely the part about going back into the past.
It would seem to me that the only sure way to control alien technology is for the aliens to still be in control of the research, possibly by some indirect means, but it could also be in a direct fashion, which would be in keeping with some of the rumors and rather incredible stories that have been floated to the public about special parts of the area 51 complex. So in point of fact, there is no more we and they....just an US which includes a leadership with a deluded sense of independence and of somehow achieving the possibility of "catching up with them." If they are already among us and have the ability to control our thinking, or at least that of the individuals in charge of these secret projects, what is there to prevent a fait accompli of already being in the process of shaping our future?
