Storch is either clueless or is feigning ignorance..The perfect and latest swamp dweller to coexist with the other creatures inhabiting the swamp..Zero expectations for results .... which is the reason he was nominated ..Just remember when Biden turned his back on an inquisitive reporter and advised the journalist to go back and ask Obama again

Just spent 36 hours without mains electricity, thanks to Eunice. Just mentioning it to highlight that we're not exactly masters of our environment; we're not in control as much as we'd like to believe.

I read a couple more comments made by Storch:

https://www.liberationtimes.com/home/senator-gillibrand-escalates-ufo-rhetoric-at-ig-confirmation-hearing

This guy is/was IG for the NSA, so in the UK civil service he would have been considered a 'sound' man; as evidenced by this response:

...but did assure Gillibrand that (if confirmed) he will give his best attention to anything which is pending (such as the UAP evaluation) and will follow-up if appropriate

"if appropriate" is the bureaucrat's get-out-of-jail card. This guy won't release any information that isn't in the government's interest to release - whether the government is defined as the DoD's corner, the executive branch, or the intelligence community.

The chances are practically zero of him exposing to Congress anything that smacks of: non-human technology, Air Force theft of Navy data, or incidents that highlight gaping holes in military(/intelligence) knowledge or understanding.

His written response to Gillibrand will contain no provocative leads or information. Bureaucratic machinery is delightfully predictable. There are far more drones DC than Afghanistan or Pakistan.

That's to say, if he does say something even remotely interesting then count it as a major win for our side. Even if it's to throw the ball back to academicians.

I went to put "AOIMSG" in my Google Alerts and found it was already in there. Hope that sucker lights up one of these days.

"if the aliens show up, they’re going to kill us"

They've been here for centuries, and the bad ones don't want to kill us, they want to enslave us.

My husband used to say my mind is so open my brains have fallen out. I guess that's why it's difficult for me to see everything unknown as a threat. It's certainly works for the military/industrial/political system. On another note. Thanks to Larry I spent all afternoon (I'm a slow reader) reading the wired story he posted instead of doing what I was supposed to be doing. I find all this fascinating even if much is way beyond my pay grade.

Nice, Billy.

Particularly now, with relations between the western and eastern superpowers increasingly grim and adversarial, I see no chance in hell of any meaningful cooperation. (Although research sharing between Russia and China is a possibility.) We want UAP technology for weaponization. And we want it now!
