Odd and unusual Laws and troubling times for FE research

[Chet K]

Here I would like to discuss Gov't laws suppressing OUR researchers around the globe,  What do we know about this and how legal are these laws ??
also for discussion here are some other Odd laws which I actually have a hard time believing exist. One such example is posted below

Keep away from the Aliens!

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

This really doesn't belong on an energy forum, but it was so interesting I just had to post it SOMEWHERE. Why do we need laws on the books in this country prohibiting us from contact with aliens and allowing the government to inprison us without due process for contact with aliens if aliens do not exist. Just a thought...

On 5 October 1982, Dr. Brian T. Clifford of the Pentagon announced at a press conference (The Star, New York, 5 October 1982) that contact between U.S. citizens and extra-terrestrials or their vehicles is strictly illegal. According to a law already on the books (Title 14, Section 1211 of the Code of Federal Regulations, adopted on 16 July 1969, before the Apollo moon shots), anyone guilty of such contact automatically becomes a wanted criminal to be jailed for one year and fined U.S. $5,000. The NASA administrator is empowered to determine, with or without a hearing, that a person or object has been "extra-teirestrially exposed" and impose an indeterminate quarantine under armed guard, which could not be broken even by court order. There is no limit placed on the number of individuals who could thus be arbitrarily quarantined. The definition of "extra-terrestrial exposure" is left entirely up to the NASA administrator, who is thus endowed with total dictatorial powers to be exercised at his slightest caprice, which is completely contrary to the Constitution.

To Be clear I am very interested in what we can find out about Gov't suppression of technologies that would end this Horrible Global warming  as well as these oil wars and battles .

please contribute whatever you can

Have you got an actual original citation for that law?

Here's what Snopes says:

Here's what Wiki says:

NASA revoked the rule in 1977[11] and the rule was formally removed from the Code of Federal Regulations in 1991.[12][13]

Here's the actual Title 14. Note that Section 1211 is "reserved", meaning there is nothing there but a number.
