UFO Investigator Refused Entry to US: Subscribers Hear Why
Canadian UFO investigator Grant Cameron was refused entry into the United States on Friday. Mr. Cameron specializes in researching presidential knowledge of UFOs, and he will tell Unknowncountry.com subscribers what he planned to say at the National UFO Conference before the US government silenced him.

The fact that this happened should be fair warning to every American:
this country is no longer free.

It may be connected with an event that is about to take place at the
University of Toronto: a former Canadian Defense Minister is going to say that western government conceal information about UFOs, and that this is wrong.

Former Canadian Minister of Defense Paul Hellyer will give a speech at
the University of Toronto on "Why Information Concerning
Extraterrestrial-Related Phenomena And Government Involvement With These Issues Is Still Being Withheld From The Public By Specific Western Nations."

Possibly, the US is angry about this and taking it out on Canadian UFO
investigators--expressing its anger in the same way that totalitarian
countries do, by bullying the helpless because it cannot silence a man of
such importance.

Canadian UFO Researcher Blocked by U. S. Homeland Security
From Speaking at NUFOC Conference, Hollywood

© 2005 by Linda Moulton Howe

"You're not going anywhere today. You've been rejected from entering the United States.'
- U. S. Homeland Security Agent, September 2, 2005, Vancouver, B. C.
Int'l. Airport

September 8, 2005 Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada - Last weekend I was in Los Angeles for the National UFO Conference (NUFOC) to speak about "UFO Crash Retrievals and the American Government's Policy of Denial in the Interest
of National Security." One of my colleagues from Canada, Grant Cameron,
was going to speak at the conference about the "64 Reasons Why The U. S.
Government Can't Tell the Truth About UFOs." [See Earthfiles 12-21-04 ]
Grant's research the past few years has been physically traveling in the
United States to American National Archives and Presidential libraries
looking for time and date links between White House meetings and alleged
UFO crash retrieval events. Grant's work has strongly contributed to the
emerging Big Picture of American presidents as far back as Franklin
Delano Roosevelt having knowledge about UFO crash retrievals and
cover-ups.

Grant was scheduled to speak on Sunday afternoon, September 4, at the
NUFOC conference, but instead there was a public announcement that his
phone had been disconnected, his e-mail was not working and that no one
had heard from him. Given that Grant Cameron is a well grounded man who
is the building facility manager at the University of Manitoba in
Winnipeg, Canada, and reporter and producer of the popular website,
www.presidentialufo.com, we were all alarmed. I tried Grant's cell phone
number and only heard a rapid beeping.

Finally after returning to Albuquerque from the NUFOC conference, I was
able to hear Grant's firsthand account of what appears to be American
Homeland Security's premeditated and deliberate block on Friday morning,
September 2, 2005, at the Vancouver International Airport. Grant Cameron
was not allowed to enter the United States. He had been pulled aside by
one customs checker and then sent into the offices of three U. S.
Homeland Security agents. There was no courtesy from the man in front of
Grant, only arrogance.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interview:

Grant Cameron, a building facility manager at the University of Manitoba;
reporter and producer of www.presidentialufo.com, Manitoba, Winnipeg,
Canada: "And he (Homeland Security agent) said, 'Well, you won't be going
into the United States today. You don't have the proper work permit.'

I told him I had done this numerous times, had always showed appropriate
paperwork.
I said, "It's a simple, small honorarium for one speech and that's all
I'm doing there. I've done this a number of times before."

At that point, he was very arrogant about the whole thing. He didn't say
anything nice the whole time I talked to him. He then said, 'We won't be
making that mistake again,' referring to the fact that I had done this a
number of times before and had never had any problems with going through
customs to do a speech in the United States.

THE IMPLICATION WAS THAT IF THEY WERE BLOCKING YOU FROM GETTING TO THE
UNITED STATES FOR THE NUFOC CONFERENCE SEPTEMBER 2-4, THAT THEY WOULD
BLOCK YOU ON FUTURE EFFORTS TO SPEAK AT CONFERENCES HERE.

Yes, it seemed to indicate there was a new ruling in place and that
whatever had happened in the past would not be happening again.

At that point, he said, 'Go sit outside the office and I'll call you
back.'

So, I sat outside and could see him laughing and talking to people around
him. He came back in and he just pushed this paper to me which had the
details of what was going to happen and basically said again, 'You're not
going to be allowed into the United States. And don't bring up the
honorarium. You are not a professor and these aren't professors you are
speaking before. So don't even say that. You're not going anywhere today.
You've been rejected from entering the United States.'

He pushed the paper towards me and started talking to someone beside me
and totally ignored me. I waited for a couple of seconds and then asked,
'What do I do now?'

At that point, he said, 'I really don't care what you do. You can go back
from where you came from. I don't care what you do now.'

So, I was left with no alternative but to grab the paper that had
Homeland Security on the top, U. S. border. I took the paper and walked
out of the office and had no idea where to go next, what to do."

United States Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border
Protection Notice of Ineligibility for Pre-Flight
Clearance rejecting Grant Cameron's ability to enter the United States on
September 2, 2005, to speak at the National UFO
Conference held September 2-4, 2005, at the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel,
Hollywood, California.
Signed and dated document provided by Grant Cameron.

"There was a guy sitting out where you pick up your bags and I got my bag
which was there and went to this guy and said, 'I've been rejected from
entering the United States. How do I get back? I've got to get a flight
out of here and get back home.'

At that point, I phoned Lisa Davis and basically left a message on the
phone number that was on the color brochure stating I would not be at the
conference, that I had been rejected and it took me quite awhile to get
back through. [Editor's Note: For unknown reasons, NUFOC Director, Lisa
Davis, never received any of Grant Cameron's cell phone voice mails.]

Grant Cameron's Computer Scans "Positive for Explosives"

One other strange thing happened, which was probably a coincidence is
that when I got back through (to Canadian side) and I had to put my bags
on the plane (back to Winnipeg), I got that through and was left with
only about maybe 25 minutes before the flight. I went through security
going back to get on the plane (back to Winnipeg) and got through and
suddenly I'm under surveillance again. My computer came up as positive
for explosives.

Another officer came up and asked questions. He said, 'I saw that they
scanned your computer and it came up positive (for explosives). At that
point, I figure now I'm going to jail. This is the day from hell type of
thing.

LIKE YOU ARE BEING REALLY SET UP?

Yes, I could not believe it. It was my computer bag which I take on the
plane with me. I never let it out of my sight because it has my
presentation on it. As far as I knew it had never left my hands. He
started asking me a lot of questions and it got closer and closer to the
flight. Where did I work? Did I work with explosives? He was actually
nice about the whole thing, but it was just one question after another
and figured it was just a matter of time that they would arrest me.

Then he asked me to run a program. I ran a program which was the
presentation that I was going to give in Los Angeles. So I popped it up
with the little thumbnail photos and here were George Bush and all these
pictures. He says, 'What's he doing here? Why is Bush on there?' He was
very curious why I had all this presidential stuff on my computer.

So I'm trying to explain very quickly because I'm running out of time to
get on the plane and then he said, 'OK, run another program.' So I ran
another program and I guess they realized I was not carrying a bomb. And
I think what may have happened there is that I had just gotten the
computer back from Dell. It had gone in for a new motherboard. I had just
gotten it back that day and put it in the case to travel with. Dell might
have used some sort of cleaning fluid, but it was that kind of day where
one thing after another occurred. Basically I left at 7:30 a.m. in the
morning and returned at 5:30 p.m. back home after flying all day and had
really gone nowhere.

Then I left a second message with Lisa Davis and left my cell phone
asking if she needed more details, here was my situation.

AND NOBODY HAD GOTTEN YOUR CELL MESSAGES APPARENTLY BY SUNDAY WHEN LISA
AND THE ORGANIZERS ANNOUNCED THAT YOUR PHONE WAS DISCONNECTED, YOUR
E-MAIL WAS NOT FUNCTIONING AND THEY HAD NOT HEARD FROM YOU.

Yes, it is very strange.

Timing of Customs Block Linked
to History Channel Program?

IT SEEMS A REASONABLE SPECULATION THAT YOUR NAME IS NOW ON A HOMELAND
SECURITY LIST AS A 'TROUBLEMAKER' AND IT MIGHT BE LINKED DIRECTLY TO THE
FACT THAT YOU HAVE BEEN DOING SERIOUS INVESTIGATION ABOUT AMERICAN
PRESIDENTS AND WHAT THEY MIGHT KNOW ABOUT THE UFO PHENOMENON, THE
COVER-UP. WHAT ARE YOUR OWN THOUGHTS RIGHT NOW ABOUT BEING A MARKED
FIGURE ON AN ELECTRONIC LIST?

Yeah, it's kind of unnerving, I can tell you that. It did seem to have
the coincidence that the History Channel had just done a special on the
presidents which I had done a lot of work with them and that had appeared
only about a week and a half before. It is quite now you have to look
forward to the fact that every time you go to the border, you really
can't agree to do anything for anybody, any presentations, because you
have no idea if you are going to get across.

If I am on an electronic list, it does have some benefits in that at
least somebody is listening. It's not that they are just ignoring you. If
you are on a list, it means the United States is paying attention to what
we are doing, which has some advantage that it gives what you say a
little more impact if people know the government is listening to you.

If it was to block me, the implications are that what I'm doing is
significant and I'm going to have to be very sort of vigilant about
fighting back and making sure my rights are maintained. I'm going to have
to make sure every time I get a work permit from Homeland Security or
wherever I get this from. And it's going to be a lot of work, but it's
worth going through. You can't just walk away and let them win. It's a
game we've all been in. We know what the stakes are and you can't give
up. It kind of inspires you that maybe you're getting somewhere and you
have to fight back. It's sad, and expensive to be buying airline tickets
and having to come home without going anywhere. That bothers me.

But the fact that they are listening or I was purposely withheld from the
United States means someone is listening to what I'm doing. And that's a
good thing.

Grant Cameron Legal Action in Canada

WHAT ABOUT YOUR GOING TO AN ATTORNEY IN WINNIPEG TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED
AND START A GOVERNMENT-TO-GOVERNMENT, CANADA TO UNITED STATES, INQUIRY
ABOUT WHY YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN REJECTED AT THE BORDER ON WHAT APPEARS TO
BE A VERY FALSE AND PHONY CHARGE SINCE YOU WERE SIMPLY COMING TO SPEAK AT
A CONFERENCE.

Yes, that's something I'm planning to do. I haven't started the process
yet, but I really have no choice to do that because I've got a number of
indications here that it's going to be hard to get across and you have to
clear it up. Otherwise, I'll always have this hanging over my head that I
can't accept any engagements. I know in talking to some of the people at
work (at University of Manitoba), it's just shocking when I tell them the
story. They are absolutely shocked when they hear what happened."
