This is one of those conspiracy theories that falls apart once you really look at in. "Why would NASA spend all that money looking for life on Mars, only to deny they found any?"
The only thing that makes some kind of sense is if there was intelligent life on Mars. It is suggested that "The Martians are beyond the control of the Secret Masters, and could ruin everything" but this runs headlong into the issue is if the Martians want to reveal themselves there is nothing the Secret Masters can really do to stop them...unless the Secret Masters are the Martians.
