Albert K. Bender at New York's Hotel Commodore (1967)

What follows is a rare treat....

Albert K. Bender, author of the underappreciated 1962 nonfiction book Flying Saucers and the Three Men, was one of the greatest and most influential UFOlogists of the 1950s/'60s.  In collaboration with fellow UFOlogist Gray Barker (author of the 1956 book They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers), he introduced the infamous "Men in Black" into the collective consciousness of modern folklore (and/or "folktruth").

By chance, I recently stumbled across a recording of a 30-minute lecture delivered by Bender at the Hotel Commodore in New York during the summer of 1967.  Intriguingly, during this speech he mentions a recently completed follow-up book to Flying Saucers and the Three Men, which (to my knowledge) was never released.  This tome must now enter the Pantheon of Lost Classics, along with Charles Fort's infamous X and Y.

"Reject the Voices that Warn of Tyranny!"

"Unfortunately, you've grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that's at the root of all our problems. Some of these same voices also do their best to gum up the works. They'll warn that tyranny always lurking just around the corner. YOU SHOULD REJECT THESE VOICES. Because what they suggest is that our brave, and creative, and unique experiment in self-rule is somehow just a sham with which we can't be trusted.

"We have never been a people who place all our faith in government to solve our problems. We shouldn't want to. But we don't think the government is the source of all our problems, either. Because we understand that this democracy is ours. And as citizens, we understand that it's not about what America can do for us, it's about what can be done by us, together, through the hard and frustrating but absolutely necessary work of self-government. And class of 2013, you have to be involved in that process."
