Ed’s list:
1. In case the army is disbanded, there must be an organized army reserve. It can be either official or covert, depending on Washington attitudes. Weapons that a reserve army can use are already hidden away in *******.
2. Favorable publicity is needed for the cause. The only official information being dispensed comes from AABC and independent journalists are being punished for “insensitivity” if they say anything derogatory about aliens, and that certainly stifles public discussion. An alternative press not controlled by Washington is needed. That probably precludes video reporters since video licenses can be yanked almost completely without due process. Print reporters have considerably more freedom, although they have much less audience.
3. Intelligence about alien activities is absolutely necessary. That means organizing a network of undercover agents to spy on aliens. This includes sympathetic civilians.
4. New devices should be developed, such as what the magport engineer V***** H***** had said he could make which would confuse alien sonar.
