----- FREEDOM RIDGE CLOSED -----

END OF AN ERA

The Freedom Ridge and White Sides viewpoints have finally been 
closed by the Air Force, ending the opportunity for tourists to 
view the "nonexistent" Groom facility from the comfort of their 
four wheel drives.  Now, anyone who wants to see the secret base 
is going to have to work at it.  Tikaboo Peak and other distant 
mountain viewpoints remain open, but because a rigorous hike is 
required they are likely to attract far fewer visitors.

Restricted area signs and orange marker posts appeared along the 
new border on April 10, the same day that the public land order 
authorizing the withdrawal was published in the Federal Register 
(60 FR 18030).  We had hoped to hold an "End of the World Party" 
on Freedom Ridge before it was closed, but we didn't have 
sufficient warning and, frankly, we were growing a bit weary of 
"could be closed any day now" events.  The saga of Freedom Ridge 
had run its course, and its final closure was appropriately timed 
to shift the story to a higher level.

White Sides Mountain appears on maps and was known to UFO watchers 
since shortly after the Lazar story broke, but Freedom Ridge was 
more subtle on the landscape and was discovered only shortly 
before the withdrawal process began.  Glenn Campbell stumbled 
across the viewpoint on June 30, 1993, while hiking along the 
border south of Groom Lake Road.  He says he had little interest 
in the base itself, only in the fact that this site made the view 
accessible to everyone.  "I looked at this ridge and saw families 
and grandmothers coming here," says Campbell.  "It was an easy 
hike, and there was the potential for a road all the way to the 
top.  This made a great difference for publicizing the base."

As the first known visitor to the hill, Campbell chose its name.  
"It was common knowledge at the time that a land seizure was 
coming, and I knew that the name was important to help define the 
battle.  I tried putting a lot of different words together, and 
Freedom Ridge is the one that stuck.  We would fight to the death 
to save it!  The real victory for me was when I heard the Cammo 
Dudes call it Freedom Ridge on the radio."

What was lost by the public?  Objectively not much--only two 
relatively small parcels of land that few people had ever heard of 
until the military decided to take them.  The hills were closely 
monitored by the Cammo Dudes, and whenever a visitor was spotted, 
word was radioed back to the base that "Watchdog is in effect," 
presumably suppressing secret operations.  It was like the light 
inside the refrigerator but the other way around: Whenever you 
were on the hill, nothing secret seemed to be going on at the base 
below.

The significance of Freedom Ridge was mostly political.  The 
withdrawal became a symbol of the old Cold War way of doing 
things.  The Air Force ignored the public, answered no questions 
and hid behind the tired "National Security" label.  Whichever 
side you may be on, the withdrawal cannot be called a triumph of 
Air Force public relations.  The land application itself became a 
"hook" that made Area 51 a legitimate news story, reinforcing the 
claim of hazardous waste abuses which happened to hit the press at 
about the same time.  The suit by workers exposed to toxic fumes 
was certainly a more important story, but it was difficult to 
report in the popular media.  Freedom Ridge, on the other hand, 
was made for TV.  Where once there were only a handful of UFO 
buffs and the fringe publications that follow them, suddenly the 
big time media was turning up in droves.

Noisy public hearings were held, and citizens flocked to the 
viewpoints for a "last glimpse" of the forbidden.  News crews were 
detained and video tapes seized by a sinister security force and 
its local stooges who could have all been provided by Central 
Casting.  The withdrawal process gave birth to a unified and 
broadly-based public movement to expose the base that would 
probably have never existed had the Air Force not attempted such a 
poorly explained and devious appearing action.  "For the public 
safety and the safe and secure operation of activities" was the 
vague explanation that will tag this action in the history books.  
In this paranoid age when more people than ever suspect they will 
be screwed by the government, the bumbling brass played into those 
fears precisely.  "This issue is the withdrawal of freedom, not 
just Freedom Ridge, but freedom," intoned one conspiracy proponent 
at the Las Vegas hearing [DR#4], and many previously disinterested 
citizens came to feel that they were being cheated out of 
something that was their natural right.

The withdrawal helped breath life into Psychospy, the Area 51 
Research Center and the Groom Lake Desert Rat.  It provided an 
energy source upon which these entities could feed and grow, like 
the parasitic alien creature in a bad sci-fi movie.  In a minor 
engagement like the Battle for Freedom Ridge, it is not the 
outcome that is important but the process.  The journey from 
application to the final closure may have been unstoppable, but 
some high-quality publicity and a legitimate policy debate was 
generated in the interim--all of it fueled by the apparent 
evasiveness of the Air Force.  Had the applicant stated the real 
purpose of the withdrawal--to keep eyes off Groom Lake--and maybe 
given some journalists a tour of the base cafeteria, there would 
have been not nearly so much hoopla.  The American public is still 
patriotic enough that it will usually support national defense 
when offered at least a plausible explanation, but the absurd 
nonexistence of the Groom base, mitigated only by vague AF press 
releases about possible "facilities" in that vicinity, made the 
taxpayer feel he was being ripped off and gave rise to endless 
perceived conspiracies.

"It is all part of the plan," the conspiracy buffs insist.  The 
Air Force deliberately botched the Freedom Ridge withdrawal to 
draw attention to Groom Lake when nothing secret was really going 
on there.  The flying saucers, Aurora aircraft and hideous medical 
experiments have all been moved to other states while Campbell and 
his government handlers create a diversion here in Nevada.  The 
flaw in this theory is that when one secret base gets a lot of 
publicity, all the others receive some limelight, too.  When one 
facility becomes as romanticized as Area 51 has, military and UFO 
enthusiasts in all fifty states start looking for secret bases of 
their own, and they have less inclination to keep quiet about what 
they find now that the national enemy is no longer clear.

The closure of Freedom Ridge may discourage casual tourists but it 
won't defuse the hard-core fanatics who are rapidly hacking away 
at the secrets of the "Test Site."  On Freedom Ridge, the military 
could at least keep track of where the watchers were.  Now, the 
amateur spies have been forced to spread out; they could be on any 
of a dozen difficult-to-monitor peaks overlooking the Restricted 
Zone.  The Groom base itself may no longer be easy to see, but 
there are probably other sites and activities in the Test Site 
that the government does not want observed.  Nothing that flies in 
the air is secure anymore, and the blanket respect that most 
people used to have for government secrets is fading fast.

..... WHAT WENT WRONG .....

In its handling of the Freedom Ridge withdrawal the Air Force has 
failed Public Relations 101, and the costs in the long run could 
be significant.  In the post-Cold War world, defense has to 
compete with other government services for limited funds, and 
keeping in good terms with the public is becoming an essential 
skill.  As a natural result of its rigid, top-down culture, the 
military is generally ill-prepared to handle this challenge.  A 
soldier's job is to follow orders.  If you work for the public 
relations "directorate" in a military organization, your function 
is to read statements prepared by your superiors.  The superiors, 
in turn, take their orders from the generals, who are usually 
better skilled at moving hardware around than attending to the 
subtleties of image.

The military is not a democratic organization, so managing the 
components of democracy like the media is not its strong point.  
Career soldiers seem to be of two minds:  They praise free speech, 
liberty, individual rights and all those other buzzwords of 
democracy, claiming that these principles are what they are 
fighting to defend.  Yet, they have also chosen, as individuals, 
to live in a closed environment that is not free at all, and they 
expect the rest of society to support this totalitarian structure 
without question.  The career soldier sees no need to respond to 
questions about military expeditures or policy on the grounds that 
it might give away our position to the enemy.  He tends to see the 
world in black and white:  His organization is right and its 
opponents are wrong, and there is no need for negotiation or 
explanation in between.

Democracy is a mystery to most soldiers, and frankly it is also 
confusing to us here in the Research Center.  We, too, carry the 
banner of truth, justice and the American Way, but we are using it 
against the military in this case, trying to make it more 
accountable.  We argue that the military's secret operations would 
be more efficient and ultimately more effective for defense if 
stronger democratic controls were in place.  We quote this gospel 
so often that sometimes we forget what democracy really means in 
practice.  Democracy is free citizens voting in fair elections for 
the candidate who has the best hairdo.  Democracy is the O.J. 
Simpson trial overruling all other news coverage.  Democracy is 
millions of absolute morons each having exactly the same vote as 
the tiny minority with half a brain and the skills to make an 
intelligent decision.  The more you think about democracy, the 
more frightening it seems and the more you wonder if the soldier 
might be right.

As we ponder the loss of our Freedom Ridge--how the land was taken 
essentially by fiat with only an illusion of democratic input--it 
is useful to return to the underlying issue.  What is democracy, 
and what good is it?

----- FUNDAMENTALS OF DEMOCRACY -----

It is a curious form of social organization.  Politicians make 
speeches and promise the people anything they want.  The people 
then go to the polls and vote for the candidate with the best 
media management.  The winners, in turn, make critical decisions 
for our society or, more often than not, make no real decisions at 
all.  Society continues to spiral down whatever road to Hell it is 
already traveling.

We are fortunate, at least, that the majority doesn't get to vote 
on every national and local decision.  Most people make decisions 
based on superficial emotional cues.  Here in Nevada for example, 
the word "nuclear" has already polarized the electorate in regards 
to the Yucca Mountain waste storage project [DR#24].  Ask Nevadans 
whether they want a HAZARDOUS NUCLEAR WASTE STORAGE FACILITY 
within their state, and they would certainly vote against it.  
Yet, the pile-up of nuclear waste, like the problems of drugs, 
crime and the national deficit, will not go away on its own; 
somewhere along the line an unpopular decision has to be made.

That is why we hire our leaders for extended terms, elect them on 
a general platform then let them use their best judgment on 
specific issues until the next election.  The trouble is, 
politicians worried about reelection still don't like to make 
unpopular decisions.  Although they are not as fickle as the 
general public on minor issues, they are loathe to go out on a 
limb on the most contested and memorable ones.  To avoid offending 
the voters, politicians tend to fill the air with rhetoric while 
putting off as long as possible any controversial action that 
might raise the ire of a vocal portion of their electorate.  Thus, 
elected leaders rarely make strong, preemptive management 
decisions; they accomplish only feeble, reactive ones, usually too 
little, too late to solve our most pressing social problems.

If you thought democratic processes control our society, you are 
wrong.  Our elected leaders don't direct the course of our history 
any more than the figurehead does on the bow of a ship.  If you 
ask who really controls our society, the conspiracy buffs will 
tell you it is the secret New World Order, Trilateral Commission 
or Council on Foreign Relations.  Behind all of our world leaders 
is a sinister association of Rockefellers and Masons who have 
ensnared the executives of every major corporation, newspaper and 
TV network in their web of enforced alliances.  If any significant 
event takes place, like the JFK assassination, the AIDS epidemic 
or Larry King coming to Rachel, it must have had the direct 
approval of the secret "Committee."

The alternative explanation is even more frightening:  Maybe there 
is NO ONE controlling our society.  Maybe shit just happens.  The 
real course of history could be pushed along by random winds that 
no one on earth has a handle on.  For example, technology is not a 
democratic process.  If someone invents a useful new device, like 
the light bulb, telephone or World Wide Web, it can spread 
throughout society almost overnight, and its effects upon our life 
on earth, both good and bad, can be far more profound than any act 
ever promulgated by Congress.  At best, Congress will only react 
to the new idea after its effects are already obvious, but by then 
the process is usually unstoppable.

In a strict hierarchical organization, as under communism, 
dictatorships or our own honorable military, a measure of real 
control can be exercised.  The leader says jump, and the whole 
organization does it simultaneously.  Democracy, in contrast, 
offers little more than the illusion of control.  It is a form of 
chaos.  Much lip service is paid to the wisdom of the people, but 
as we learned in the last Lincoln County elections [DR#18], the 
people are rarely wise and usually do not see anything beyond the 
buzzwords of an issue.  Their election of representatives every 
couple of years is often cited as the cornerstone of the healthy 
functioning of our society.  In fact, who the citizens elect has 
very little bearing one where our society goes.  Politicians of 
any party are only responding to events that have already 
happened.  Their hands are usually tied by the superficiality of 
politics, so one elected leader is pretty much as effective as any 
other.

What makes democracy work--better than most dictatorships at 
least--is that it protects and encourages chaos.  Democracy 
renders its leaders mostly ineffective, freeing society to 
actually be ruled by a marketplace of ideas.  In any dictatorship, 
at least among humans, the powers of control which were granted 
initially to get the job done inevitably become used instead to 
suppress the political opponents of the leadership.  Smart 
individuals with useful new inventions that might change the 
structure of the organization are usually firmly discouraged.  In 
a real-life democracy, the leaders do not have that kind of power.  
Our "free press" assures that no personal flaw will go unnoticed, 
and the fickleness of the electorate guarantees a regular turnover 
of leaders so that no single person or party gains too much 
control.  Chaos prevails, and the society follows by default its 
own irrational myths and the compelling ideas of a few unelected 
inventors.

It would be a pleasure to work in an organization where the 
leaders are chosen based only on their proven ability and not for 
politics, slavishness or who they are connected to.  In real 
organizations, especially large ones with low turnover like our 
boys in blue, this ideal is rarely achieved.  Promotions are 
awarded to those who follow orders and don't rock the boat, who 
would stand proudly with the ship as it is sinking.  This is a 
problem in any mature organization:  Selection by superiors tends 
to promote those employees who support the status quo.  People 
with true leadership ability, who would make preemptive and 
potentially unpopular decisions instead of responding to crises 
only after they occur, tend to clash with management early on and 
are weeded out.  The Peter Principal says that in any 
organization, an employee tends to rise to the level of his 
incompetence, and the organization grows stale as a result.  
Democracy deals with this problem by regularly disrupting 
organizations and enforcing chaos, which eventually gives 
unelected power to those with ability and allows good ideas to 
emerge.

Due to its lack of uncontrolled entrepreneurs, a highly 
disciplined and hierarchical organization usually has difficulty 
changing with the times.  The military, the saying goes, is always 
fighting the last war, not the next one.  It responds to conflicts 
only after they become intractable, and it can never escape from 
its own straight-line methods.  In the case of the Freedom Ridge 
withdrawal, a path was plotted from "A" to "B" long before the 
withdrawal was applied for.  The special assault forces of the Air 
Force Real Estate Directorate marched toward the goal through 
thick and thin, past bullets and land mines, with unwavering 
loyalty and disciplined precision for however long it took to 
capture "B" and plant the flag.  Trouble is, by the time the goal 
was achieved, the war had changed.  "B" was already irrelevant and 
not worth the enormous cost of securing it.

----- AREA 51--THE MOVIE -----

CARRADINE FILM SIZES UP "AREA"
by Kirk Honeycutt

A Japanese-financed, independent film will fictionally examine a 
real-life mystery that now exists in the Nevada desert.  "Area 
51," written by Mike Gray -- Oscar nominated for co-writing a 
similar muckraking feature, "The China Syndrome" -- and directed 
by actor Robert Carradine, is slated to start production in June 
in Rachel, Nev.

The science-fiction thriller will focus on a government facility 
in Nevada known to UFO groupies as Area 51 or Groom Lake.  Until 
recently, the Air Force denied the very existence of the site.

Thanks to considerable media attention, hundreds of people in 
recent weeks have converged on the perimeter of the site, located 
90 miles northwest of Las Vegas on Nellis Air Force Base.  There, 
they are convinced, the Air Force is reproducing a captured flying 
saucer.

Last weekend, CNN aired a story on the mysterious Area 51.

International Mondo Entertainment, a subsidiary of Mondo Corp., a 
major real estate and development company headquartered in Tokyo, 
will finance and Naofumi Okamoto, president of Apricot 
Entertainment, will produce the film.  

Okamoto said the film's budget will be somewhere between $5 
million and $8 million "depending on the special effects."

The story concerns a female TV news producer trying to get to the 
bottom of the mysterious site.

Carradine, who makes his feature directing debut with this film, 
describes "Area 51" as a "detective story with a documentary sense 
of reality."

Okamoto said he and Carradine mutually came up with the idea for 
the film after seeing a half-hour documentary on Fox and reading 
stories about the site in several publications, including the New 
York Times and Popular Science.

Newsweek then reported in its Feb. 20 issue that five former and 
current government employees and the widow of a sixth have filed a 
lawsuit charging they were exposed to burning toxic wastes at the 
secret Air Force facility.

The widow, Helen Frost, has charged that poisonous fumes from 
plastics and chemicals thrown into open pits and doused with jet 
fuel contributed to her husband's death in 1989.

However, the workers' attorney has been stymied by the 
government's refusal to reveal the name of so-called "operating 
location" on the base.  Without an officially recognized name, the 
suit cannot proceed.

What is known about the site is that it has been used as a testing 
ground for the U-2 spy plane and the F-117A Stealth.  

Okamoto, who has headed Apricot Entertainment since its inception 
in 1989, said the company previously produced a film called 
"Illusion," which starred Emma Samms, Heather Locklear and 
Carradine.

The investment by International Mondo marks the company's first  
foray in the movie business, Okamoto said.  International Mondo's 
Fuminori Hayashid will serve as the film's executive producer.

<end quote>

Writing a female TV producer into the script solves the most 
awkward problem of any Area 51 movie:  How to insert the requisite 
babe-ola into a male-dominated environment.  Writer Mike Gray took 
a hint from the Desert Rat [#10] in that the babe is the smart 
producer, while the on-air reporter is your typical blow dried 
meat puppet.

We also understand that a Campbell-like character may appear in 
the film, giving advice to the male lead (Carradine) on how he 
might penetrate the secret base to rescue the heroine.  This 
quirky desert character, the actor for whom has not yet been 
selected, lives in a mobile home in a nowhere town not unlike 
Rachel.  No word yet as to whether he is feuding with the 
propriators of the local bar.

----- TIKABOO HIKE MAY 13 -----

The third of our free monthly hikes will be to Tikaboo Peak, which 
still offers a legal but very distant view of the Groom Lake base. 
The tentative meeting time is 9:00 am on Saturday, May 13, 1995, 
at Milepoint LN 32.2 on US-93, about 86 miles north of Las Vegas.  
Those who wish to attend should confirm the meeting time a couple 
days ahead by calling the Research Center (702-729-2648) or 
consulting alt.conspiracy.area51.

After meeting at the highway, we will drive inland on a good dirt 
road (suitable for any vehicle if you don't mind a lot of bumps) 
about 25 miles to Badger Spring.  From there we will make the 
rigorous 1-1/2 hour hike to the summit.  You need to be in good 
shape to attempt this hike.  Those who get regular exercise should 
have no difficulty, but the hike is not recommended for couch 
potatoes, smokers or those carrying excess poundage.  The 
elevation will be about 7000 feet climbing to 8000.  The terrain 
is pleasantly forested, and the summit offers an impressive 360-
degree view of southern Nevada.

If bad weather comes, it will probably take the form of fierce 
winds, which would limit our stay at the top.  Otherwise, we will 
lounge around and pray to our chosen deities at the summit, where 
there is a small religious shrine dedicated to "Our Lady of the 
Black Budget."  If you choose, you may bring a votive candle, some 
incense and any religious figurines you are willing to part with.  
(Attention all Catholics!)

Hikers need to be prepared for extremes in temperature:  Bring 
both shorts in case it is hot and long pants, a warm jacket and 
hat in case it is windy.  Sturdy hiking shoes are important, and 
you need to bring at least 2 quarts of liquid for the hike.  You 
also need to bring enough food for however long you wish to stay.  
Telescopes are essential for viewing the base, but there should be 
enough of them among the group that not everyone needs to bring 
one.

To reach the meeting point from Las Vegas, go north on I-15 (Salt 
Lake City direction) for about 20 miles to the US-93 exit, then go 
north on US-93 for 66.8 miles to milepoint LN 32.2. (Mileposts are 
marked every mile by small while signs on the side of the road.)  
The meeting point is an unmarked dirt road between the Lower and 
Upper Pahranagat Lakes in the Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge.  
This location is about 0.3 mile past the well-marked entrance to 
the refuge headquarters.  If you arrive later, we will leave 
instructions at the meeting point for how to find us, but there is 
no guarantee you will catch up.

The lady-killer Agent X has announced his tentative plans to 
attend this hike, as have tmahood@netcom.com, Campbell and another 
member of the original "Interceptors" featured in the March 1994 
Popular Science.  Although the Cammo Dudes are invited to attend 
like everyone else in the world, none are expected since this is 
far outside their usual territory.  The hike will be entirely on 
public land many miles from the military border.

CAMPING:  Although this is intended as a day trip that can easily 
be done from Las Vegas, some people may wish to camp here on 
Friday or Saturday night.  You need to be prepared for nighttime 
temperatures in the 40s.  There is a free and scenic campground 
(no services) along the shore of Upper Pahranagat Lake (a lake 
with water!) about a half mile north of the meeting point on US-
93.  The Tikaboo trailhead near Badger Spring also makes a good 
camping spot, but unless you have the Area 51 Viewer's Guide, you 
may want to save this location for Saturday night when you know 
where it is.  This is probably where we will build a campfire on 
Saturday night and tell scary stories.  Oscar Mayer wieners, as 
well as buns and--but of course--Grey Poupon, will be provided 
free of charge, although supplies may be limited [DR#21].  On 
Sunday we may mount another expedition or work project, to be 
decided on Saturday.

OTHER ACCOMMODATIONS.  The meeting point is 55 miles from Rachel, 
so a visit there may be difficult.  There are two motels in Alamo 
(both at 702-725-3371) about 5 miles north of the meeting point.  
Free swimming is available at the BLM (unfenced) portion of Ash 
Springs (bath-water temperature, about 13 miles north of the 
meeting point across from R-Place gas station).  If you are coming 
from Southern California, the casino hotels at Stateline are a 
reasonable place to stay.  Rooms on Friday and Saturday nights are 
about $32 (including two free tickets on the world's highest 
roller coaster), but reservations are important (800-367-7383).

As usual, you are responsible for your own safety on this hike, 
and the organizers accept no liability for any loss or injury.

----- INTEL BITTY KITTIES -----

THREE AREA 51 KITTENS were born underneath the Research Center 
around April 1.  The father was one of those love-'em-and-leave-
'em types who remains unidentified at present.  One kitten 
resembles her mother, but the other two are a smoky gray, which is 
very strange since there are no gray tomcats in Rachel.  (Are you 
thinking what we are?)  We have named one of our grays "Jarod 3."
