If UFOs, then we are not alone.

[mellowtigger]

Many people in many government agencies in many countries are all saying the same thing in recent days, so I have to think that something is up this time, something different from decades of UFO hype previously. Sure, there is good reason to be skeptical, and this video by Mick West captures much of it very well. What the skeptical opinions seem to miss, however, is the breadth of corroboration that goes with the current story.

Read the current hubbub...

This recent flashpoint started with the "We are not alone" interview of David Grusch by News Nation. News Nation is a reputable source of information, although this story has a history of being turned down by The New York Times and delayed by The Washington Post so they could spend more time vetting. Vice News provided a nice summary after that interview. But it's not just Grusch. People are giving testimony under oath to Congress and the Inspector General. News Nation also interviewed Marco Rubio, U.S. Senator from Florida, who claims that "A lot of these people came to us even before protections were in the law for whistleblowers to come forward".

The USA's Intelligence Authorization Act of 2024 (Section 1104, introduced June 22 but not yet passed) includes provisions that will protect defense contractor whistleblowers who provide information about UFOs. With this mental priming, it's hard to read the 1971 treaty between the USA and Russia, Article 3, and think both nations meant something other than extraterrestrial UFOs.

The bombshell claims reduce to at least one of the following:

1. A lot of very important people with very important titles for their very important positions in governments around the globe are insane, with no systemic response to identify and treat them.
2. There are people within the U.S. government who conduct coordinated lying campaigns whose domestic USA targets include the public, government employees, even Congress and the White House. They withhold information from anyone without an immediate need to know, much like that scene from the fictional movie "Independence Day" where someone told the president, "You didn't need to know" about the aliens. Whistleblowers (many of them, apparently) are now coming to Congress to divulge the maybe-only-lies that they were told. Taxpayers have been funding this psyops department for decades with no Congressional oversight, potentially making its operation illegal.
3. The U.S. government has retrieved several craft of non-human origin, and they have been reverse engineering the technologies involved, including things like materials, energy, and computing tech. These projects began in the 1940s. Other governments know. In particular Russia, China, Italy and the Vatican, Israel, and even Canada know.
4. Aliens are here and not averse to actively interacting with human civilization. They are apparently friendly (even according to a former Pentagon program head) except where the military is involved. Stories of UFO interference with military weapons go back at least to 1967. Now, go back up and read that link to Article 3 for the 1971 treaty between USA and Russia.

Yes, it's a very sad state of affairs when I'm citing known liar Marco Rubio, other Republicans, and even a former program head at the Pentagon. Whatever's happening (and I don't know what's happening, even if it's one giant web of lies), it is very important and very significant.
