It's real according to Zetatalk

Nancy, now that Obama has been in power for a few months and is finally filling up the ranks with his own people, is the STO 'new' MJ-12 going to come back into existence again, or is it already in place? Any ongoing conflicts between those people and the STS rump of MJ-12?

What occurred during the time of Roswell, when MJ12 was formed, is not the situation today, and thus such a contract between a government and aliens is unlikely to emerge. The present situation is that the number of contactees is increasing rapidly, mass sightings are occurring in many nations, and disclosure is being forced on governments lest they look like they are lying about the issue. MJ12 resulted because STS aliens quickly made contact with the US government just prior to when the Council’s orders about all contact being only in the subconscious of contactees was to take effect. This forced STO aliens to likewise make conscious contact with the US government, to maintain a balance. The US government was overwhelmed, and instituted MJ12 in an attempt to sort it all out, and thus our contract with the US government. But as we said, those times are in the past.
