"But AARO’s report is so hard up for padding that two lengthy paragraphs in its Executive Summary are literally repeated word for word later in the document."

AARO is Project Blue Book II.

Congress politicians — the top U.S. military brass know that the UFO phenomenon is real — and that UFOs are extraterrestrial craft. The top brass have seen the gun camera videos.

The American people have the right to see the U.S. government UFO videos and photos.

"The Legacy of the Trickers "

I'm definitely a UFO enthusiast, as I've read a number of related books and I'm familiar with the major cases and have a general feel for the scope of the phenomena; sufficient to have my own theories. My impression is that Lacatski did pretty much the same, but with the library of cases gathered by (his) AAWSAP. If I recall correctly, Lacatski also had his own experience at SWR.

What makes him a special case is that he claims to have been in the presence of (apparent) non-human technology in the form of a craft, kept at a facility.

I'm sure he mentioned the facility was a 'Congressional site' - did I get that right? Don't know what that means though. Does it imply it wasn't in the hands of a private corporation?

And I don't recall if anyone asked him if he was 'read' into a specific program to be shown this vehicle, or if he knew or spoke to anyone who was working on reverse engineering the thing.

I think Corbell & Knapp or someone else, should present Lacatski with a series of lists of questions, that he can decide how to answer or not, then repeat until we've got everything we can. The main impression I got was that he didn't relate his knowledge (or gain of knowledge) to the efforts or experiences of anyone else. (Then again, Lazar wasn't any different because he claimed not to be interested in, or follow, ufology.)

We're in the bizarre situation that even though there hasn't been an official statement that the U.S. has recovered non-human tech (and wouldn't do so for reasons of national Security), foreign nations would still have to assume this to be true and attempt to investigate, based on statements made by Lacatski and others. At this point the gatekeepers (if they exist) are only keeping it secret to avoid the general population from knowing and to avoid facing the consequences. Not exactly legitimate reasons to keep this information from the world.

As far as I can tell, Lacatski never said that he was ever personally in the presence of any non-human technology. His statement about the meeting with the unnamed senator was so opaquely worded that some people even read it as a discussion of a hypothetical, although I don’t think that’s the best reading.

There is no such thing as a “congressional site” for secret recovered technology— such things, if they exist, would be held by components of the Executive Branch or contractors thereof.

Bob Lazar’s history as a scientist-impersonator, small-time serial scam artist, felon, bigamist, and fabricator of tall tales (44-year claim to possess gravity-defeating alien isotope, etc.) is so very well documented, that it is regrettable to see his name still being interjected into discussions of this subject that have as their starting place statements by people of some substance.

Per your point about where the craft resides, I don't recall JL alluding to that. All he says in the book is that he had a recovered-craft meeting in the Capitol Building with an unnamed Senator 12 years ago. As for posing additional questions, have at it. My biggest takeaway from the interview was that JL's relish in saying nothing seemed almost sadistic.

In order to ask all the relevant questions I'd have to read his new book, and be responded to. I'm just hoping he's interviewed, in depth, by Congress, on the public record.

Billy, does someone like Jim Lacatski ever retire? Makes sense people will still be asking advice. Since he began at Skinwalker Ranch ("you've seen nothing yet - nothing. You'd be flabbergasted ...") with his Tubular Bells vision (to me, it's almost like he was "invited" in by what's there), he must have emphasised to his superiors the consciousness/physical stuff there as a nexus. And Brandon Fugal's (surely also with Erik Bard as chief scientist) Washington 2018 visit with Kirkpatrick, Puthoff? I'd guess a conclusion of what's at SWR was made years back and Fugal + team are rediscovering? That "thing" underground near the SWR triangle. Maybe that's why AAWSAP was started, as he says people should ask that question.

That's as a good a supposition as any. Lacatski certainly knows how the black world works, but I'd doubt his take on what's at the root of SWR phenomenon is much more valid than yours or mine.

AAWSAP starting - maybe also to assess the threat level overall, esp. re SWR? Travis Taylor once said anyone who could duplicate the GPS malfunctions over a region (he may have mentioned a city), which happens at SWR, could cause mayhem.

Sheila Clark (Florida Today) https://islandcremations.com/obituaries/christina-s-tuominen/8414/

I'm her son Travis. Just reaching out.

Oh no. So sorry, Travis. The obit's absolutely right -- your mom was one of the smartest people in the newsroom. And she gave me a lot of latitude. I hadn't seen her since I left the paper. I hope she was able to enjoy the kind of life she deserved.

She left the paper around 97. There's only a few names I remember standing out, but mostly you and McAleenan, but he too has passed. She was also a victim of cancer but had other health issues as well. We were fortunate to have her as long as we did. She made it to my wedding and got to meet 2 of her 4. great grand children. From chasing mountain lions, to belly dancing and drag racing motorcycles, plus all the adventure the newspaper brought, she had an amazing life.

When Sheila was my editor, she cut me loose on the haunted restaurant story at Ashley's. I invited her with me one night as I got a psychic to read the room. She went home that night pretty spooked. Jack was out of town and in the middle of the night, your dobie started barking at the closet. Your mom was convinced something had followed her home, and said she didn't need to go back into the place. She may have been "sensitive," as they say.

BTW, the day before she passed I ate in that restaurant for the first time.

That's exactly the kinda stories I want to know all about. She has had so many experiences like that I never heard about. If you'd like, email me and I'll give you my contact info. If not, no problem and I appreciate all you've done already.

If Lacatski isn't a government disinformation operative, he should be. The shell game these guys play is obvious, yet everyone keeps getting suckered in. Corbell and Knapp will jump at any bait, anyway, they so want to be famous. The truth, whatever that may be, is buried under years of lies and deceit, and gullible detectives will never find it.

I think they've actually done 'the community' a favor by introducing us to the complexity and adversarial nature of the so-called national security state. We have a vague abstract sense of it, but getting a specimen like Lacatsky on camera could be the beginning of a Master Class in anthropology.

A good synopsis of the Weaponized show with Dr. James Lacatski. Yes another confirmation about recovered craft from 'unknown' origins etc. But what gets me is why the super secrecy question. Lacatski framed his response and went all in on the 'national security interests'. Why, what if our adversaries get a hold of this . . . . . . we would be doomed! Well from where I come from our nuclear arsenals are already our probable doom. Why the fossil fuel industry would collapse along with all the financial interests in the world. Religions would erupt into chaos and calamity (as if they haven't already). All this is why we keep the secrets, so they say. However what really maybe the reason why to keep the secret is what Jeremy said at the end of the podcast. He recounted what the late Stanton Friedman said, that if this secret came out that the world power structure(s) and the constant 'national interest' theme that empowers them would be in a shit load of trouble. That answer gets my vote (doubly). Do the Russian people want to go in and slaughter UKrainians or the general Palestinian or Israeli people want to end the other side by killing each other off. I think not, but its the power structures both pollical and religious' that use fear and intimidation that keep themselves well . . . . . . . in power. Would the end of the UFO secret . . . . . change all of this?

I've heard a lot of speculation to that end, but that's why we need more social scientists to weigh in on this. Right now all we have to go on are hypothetical reactions to scenarios that have no historical antecedents. People who know which questions to ask of which people and/or interests are hopefully aware that we do need preparation.

So future generations will be told lies by Alexa and AI?!?!??? And the lies get perpetuated through what becomes credible via the tactic of saying a lie often enough and people will believe it. What a sad future....It’s history being made by the conqueror rather than facts. Black World indeed. Where is the glimmer?

Expand full comment

Well, if Lacatski IS telling the truth, one might anticipate a major structural shakeup in our security infrastructure, with reverb jolting a number of related and unrelated institutions across the board. I'd like to think something positive would come of that. I mean, I'd LIKE to think that. It's just a small glimmer ...

Sorry, but election results aren’t “subjective”. Never have been in this country..... yet...

The 2020 election results have nothing to do with my "perception" of the truth or my "subjective opinion," Larry. Take that conversation someplace else.

As a Brit, I'm not familiar with the way information flows (or doesn't) through Congress or the Senate, but I'm getting the impression that the politicians don't either - at least, not when it comes to alleged matters of National Security.

I believe that there are specific select committees that would have more access - because of something the ICIG wrote in a response to an enquiry by Burchett. I really hope they keep the pressure up.
