“I feel it’s a national security issue,” says the former Judicial Watch boss whose lawsuits dogged the Clinton administration during the Nineties. “The kinds of things, frankly, they say about how you know lawyers are lying because their lips are moving? The government’s been lying even more.”
In a conference call from Miami along with Eric Lightman, director of his most recent activist non-profit called Freedom Watch, Klayman says he doesn’t expect to get a full accounting of the coverup. What he’s gunning for is a government admission that UFO data is classified on national security grounds. If successful, that would torpedo the official Air Force policy position that’s been in place since the termination of its public UFO studies 40 years ago.
“We’re not waiting for them to go through their administrative aspects,” Klayman says. “We’re going straight into a court of law because they’re in violation.” Which portends taking depositions from government officials who “shouldn’t have a problem with this if it isn’t a national security issue, as they claim.”
Should the legal narrative play out as Klayman predicts, he could file for a summary judgement where the court could rule on inconsistencies in sworn testimony without a trial. “This is generally where these guys get caught, fudging or lying on an affadavit,” Klayman says.
Just which cases Freedom Watch will target has yet to be determined. “There’s so many big incidents out there,” Lightman says.
But perhaps more important than choosing a case is choosing a venue for the action. Klayman has a home in Los Angeles and is tempted to fire the opening round in Southern California because “it’s fantasyland.” And with the right amount of publicity, anything can happen.
“The media loves a good story,” Klayman says, a prerequisite for keeping pressure on the judges. “Most (judges) are egocentric, they don’t make a lot of money and they like to get their names in the news.”
Moreover, Klayman doesn’t see his challenge as a partisan issue because Dems and Republicans are equally culpable for keeping their constituents in the dark, perhaps for mutually beneficial reasons. “I think the intent is, government never wanted to acknowledge there’s another force out there more powerful than itself,” Klayman says.
“And once you make that leap,” Lightman adds, “then anything’s possible. And I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the conspiracy theories are based on fact.”
At http://www.freedomwatchusa.org/, you can read about Freedom Watch’s class-action suit against Venzuela’s Hugo Chavez for supporting crimes against humanity, updates on Klayman’s efforts to depose Hillary Clinton for her alleged role in the “Filegate” controversy of the Nineties, and even the group’s efforts to discover how much money the Obama White House is spending on entertainment. But no mention of its impending action on UFOs. Lightman says the Web page is being updated and the UFO news will appear shortly.
Klayman says he’s unfazed by the latest volley of “UFO nut” tomatoes splattering around him. “I think the nicest thing that’s been said about me actually came from The National Journal,” he says. “They said Larry Klayman is the number one litigator for the public interest.”
