For a moment, drop any interest or disinterest you may have in UFOs, UAPs, “non-human biologics,” or anything to do with the question of what Senator Schumer’s new legislation refers to twenty-two times: Non-Human-Intelligence. Instead, let’s try to understand the deeper problem behind these subjects that are now profoundly influencing politics and geopolitics.
Senator Rubio just said this about the UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) allegations: “If it’s even partially true, somebody has broken the law.” This is the real conundrum that explains why The Pentagon is in denial mode in reaction to the recent hearing on UAPs held by the Congressional Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs. Disclosure is not the problem. Legal liability is. Yes, the new legislation protects the government and now even private contractor whistle-blowers. But, there is nothing to protect anyone from the revelation that monies were spent without Congressional oversight or secreted away into secret programs away from Congressional oversight. As the UAP investigation advances, it will not only crack open the black budgets on this particular issue. It raises questions about all black budgets and all SAPS (Special Access Programs), regardless of the subject matter.
Since 9/11, there has been such an expansion of secrecy that officials could say, “It’s secret” about almost anything. That’s what the intelligence and defense community says now. But times have changed. The debt burden is so great that all the tax dollars only fund interest payments these days. So, those receiving taxpayer dollars are now being asked to prove they are doing something genuinely useful and have some metrics to substantiate this. The recipients of all the money prefer to say, “What I am doing so important that you have to fund me even though I can’t and won’t tell you what it is.” This isn’t washing with Democrats or Republicans. On the UAP front, it’s so secret that even the new investigative body Congress established within The Pentagon, AARO, All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (@DoD_AARO), is not yet “read in” on all the secret programs related to the UAP issue. When the Head of AARO, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, says “We don’t have any credible information,” he’s likely not lying. Note that he only has “Title 10” clearance rather than the higher level “Title 50” that may be required.
We’ve seen this before. In the past, many journalists suspected that the US Government was developing what we now know as The Stealth Bomber. Like today, they asked probing questions but got almost no answers. This was in part because the key people did not have access to the then-secret program. Consider General Sylvester who was deputy for systems at the Aeronautical Systems Division, Air Force Systems Command at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, commander of the Aeronautical Systems Division. He became vice commander of the Air Force Systems Command in March 1979. He was asked by friends of mine who worked on this issue then, “Are you building a stealth fighter jet?” He answered, “No.” Later, after The Stealth Bomber was unveiled in 1988, he was asked why he lied. He hadn’t. It became clear that he had not been “read into” the program. The DOD also said it was not a “fighter jet” but a “stealth attack aircraft.” This is how the game is played – through a combination of plausible deniability, genuine ignorance of the details, and crafty semantics.
This is where we start to see a dividing line in government that is not between Democrats and Republicans but between insiders and outsiders. The insiders control a flow of money the outsiders want to know about. This is about the Constitution,
