Bob Dean (BD): I hope I can be heard. Will someone turn this on? Before I begin, I would like to say a couple of words of deep appreciation for the sponsors and people who have put this program together. I have been involved in speaking publicly all over the planet and all over the United States. I have been to conferences here, I have been to conferences there, and I know how terribly difficult it can be to put a program like this together. I have to say I have tremendous respect and admiration for the people who have done this. Most of all, I respect their courage for dealing with a subject like this where most of the elite leadership and the power groups of the world want this subject to go away. And these courageous young men who have put this together are brave and they deserve your respect and your admiration, and I want to say I thank you because I know what you’ve been through. [applause] Now, I must explain something else to you. I never read from a script. I don’t have a prepared script to follow. I get up on a stage and I talk to people like yourselves and I kind of wing it. I have so much material and I have such a problem of keeping it under the allotted time that I’ve been given. I have come today prepared to speak to you for three hours. I am only allowed one hour and fifteen minutes. So something is going to have to give. But bear with me, I’ll do the damndest job I can. It’s important that you see the photographs of the NASA pictures that I have brought with me. Now, my journey began 45 years ago. I began a journey that, if I had known then what I know now, if I had known the pain, the anguish, the heartbreak that I was going to experience over these 45 years, I might not have started that journey at all. But here I am in Barcelona in 2009 with some of the most delightful people I have ever met. And looking back, I find that the journey was worth the effort; it was worth the pain; it was worth the heartbreak. I’m delighted to be here and I’m delighted to see all of you out there. This is such an encouragement to me that people are beginning to demand the truth. They know they have been lied to from the very beginning, and they want to know. And I’m going to -- here, this afternoon, hopefully -- contribute one small measure to helping you understand and helping you know. Most of my adult life, or most of the first part of my adult life, I was a professional soldier. I was in the army. I joined the army in 1950 to avoid the draft, ended up going to Officer’s Candidate School (OCS); and, so help me God, while I was going to OCS at Fort Riley, Kansas, the North Koreans invaded South Korea. The next thing I know I’m on the front lines in Korea being shot at by a bunch of pissed-off Chinese and North Koreans who tried to kill me -- and I had nothing against them; I didn’t want to kill them. Here I am, in 1951, leading combat troops in Korea in one of the bloodiest wars we have ever had, and the rest, I guess you could say, is history. I led combat troops in Korea in 1951; I spent 27 years on active duty and I also was involved in the war of Southeast Asia in 1970, where I was part of an organization that gathered intelligence in the jungles of Southeast Asia: South Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Let me tell, you some of those years were rather harrowing. The most harrowing experience I was to have was when I was assigned to Paris, France, in 1963, to what we considered in those days a plush assignment, a plumb assignment. I was able to go to Paris, France, take my family with me and my children went to high school in Paris and, as I said, this was a plumb assignment. I had no idea what I was to find when I got there. When I arrived in the summer of 1963, I arrived with a Top Secret clearance. When I arrived at the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers in Europe, which was located at that time in a small town known as Rocquencourt, right outside of Paris, my security clearance was upgraded to Cosmic Top Secret, which was then -- and still is today -- the highest level of security classification that NATO has. I had to have a Cosmic Top Secret clearance to work in SHOC, Supreme Headquarters Operations Center: the war room. I was a Senior Master Sergeant at the time and, when I was assigned in SHOC, I was given the job of maintaining the Duty Roster. We ...
