The U.S. military, U.S. Intelligence Community, and mainstream media play for the same team.

More evidence.

So, what about the UFO evidence, MSM?

Most MSM "journalists" don't care.

The mainstream media becoming so gullible of authority. No investigative journalism. As gullible to what AARO says as as “true believer” of anything else.

Is it possible we’ve all been duped? Obviously I don’t have a dog in this fight but someone in the know, who has the goods, photos, videos, reports, etc., who maybe as pissed off about this as we are, maybe needs to grow a pair and just come forward. And I advocate they come forward in a big way. Perhaps to a respectable foreign MSM outlet, the NYT WaPo or shit, National GeoGraphic. I know there are fears of lawsuits, etc., but if their info is extremely convincing they will be untouchable. Unless, of course, they’re murdered first.

What a disappointment, but one that I expected. No evidence to really support the conclusions and just regurgitating the various DOD type investigations in the past that proclaimed the same narrative. No transparency and nothing dealing with the 21rst century events. Do not even really know who was the author of this report but most likely . . . . . . . . Sean Kirkpatrick(?). Since the report already has a conclusion wonder what could possible exist in Vol 2 that would change anything. Unfortunately unless you are more a less a student of UFO history you will have very little context to see how badly this report is skewed. It remains to be seen whether the Congressional persons who were asking the harder questions will continue on that journey and against this kink of 'wind'.

Don't be surprised if Speaker of the House Mike Johnson refuses to.permit the UAP congressional advocates from holding more open congressional hearings, similar to the one that transpired last July. My gut feeling is that Johnson is in the hip pockets of Representatives Rogers and Turner.As far as "Dramatic- Traumatic Disclosure" ..you would only have News Nation as a conduit for information.The other MS news media players have already turned their collective backs on further coverage of the topic except to invite contributors like West, DeGrassee Tyson , and Oberg to ridicule the subject. ..and even Kirkpatrick, if the DOD permits this.

Not only is Operation Mockingbird still operating, it now has total control of the legacy mainstream media.

Hence the present, withdraw, re-present, treatment of the phenomena in the MSM. Which is not only a classic marketing and sales technique, it's also a classic propaganda technique used to keep the general populace confused and therefore easily controlled.

They've milked everything they could get out of the David Grusch presentation. So, now they're in withdrawal mode.

No worries. They'll present another so-called "whistleblower" when they determine the timing is right.

So you’re telling me that the CIA Broadcasting System is on the take? Shocking.

Great piece, Billy.

Excellent review by Billy and his interviewees.

Back in 1966 CBS produced UFO: Friend, Foe or Fantasy, a wholly awful debunking attempt of the same calibre.

AARO treated the UAP issue as if they were searching for evidence of an illusive new species of butterfly, rather than as an investigation into potentially criminal activities.; 'Urgent and credible' seemed to have been totally forgotten. And as covered in Billy's piece, they ignored virtually every aspect of UAP history that indicates anything far beyond contemporary human technology. Their summary report was a bullet point list that cherry picked only what supported Kirkpatrick's apparent beliefs.

Anyone who has followed this topic can see the extremes: from the pro-UAP scientists and ex-government employees working with Chris Mellon, to the guys rolled in to debunk (or defuse) the situation with extreme bias. There are victims here: the credible witnesses who have come forward only to be ignored. Not a single instance of a significant, credible UAP case appeared in the report (without negative comment) to provide balance or show willingness to acknowledge that anything truly unusual has been encountered at any point in the past.

Hi Billy,

Well, that report was so bad, it insulted the intelligence of and infuriated several congressmen and a few senators, I'll bet. That alone will help move this forward in a big way. Maybe, even faster and with more power behind it than it had before the report.

The CBS Sunday Milquetoast!
