Not Asked, Not Told

The American public appears to have been sidelined in discussions about UAPs. On May 17, 2022, the first congressional hearings on UFOs since 1969 took place in Washington, D.C. The DoD sent two high-ranking officials: Ronald S. Moultrie, Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, and Scott Bray, Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence.

Despite their claims of wanting transparency, these officials demonstrated a striking lack of knowledge—or perhaps a reluctance to share what they know—about UAP incursions into U.S. airspace. They provided weak explanations, attributing many sightings to drones or camera artifacts, and presented a lackluster video as evidence.

Representative Mike Gallagher raised questions about UAP sightings over sensitive military sites, such as Malmstrom Air Force Base, but received vague responses. Both officials seemed ill-prepared, lacking awareness of significant documents like the Wilson memo, which addresses covert corporate research related to recovered UFOs.

Their testimony conveyed an impression of ignorance that may have been intentional. If the DoD isn't keen to engage with UFOs, why should the public?

After all, the mission of the DoD is to protect American citizens. Yet, when Congress issues directives through funding bills like the NDAA, the veil of security classification cloaks their actions, leaving citizens in the dark.

The situation illustrates a troubling reality: the American public is not deemed worthy of knowing what measures are being taken—or not taken—regarding these enigmatic phenomena.

Old Habits Die Hard

The pattern of denial and secrecy is longstanding. A recent article in Politico highlighted another instance of the U.S. government ignoring the law. The National Archives, which has sought to recover missing presidential records from the Trump administration, has clashed with the Pentagon, FBI, and CIA over the release of documents related to the JFK assassination.

Legislation passed in 1992 mandated the public release of these records by now. However, numerous documents continue to be withheld under the guise of national security concerns. Despite the obligation to comply with the law, these agencies have sought exemptions to avoid fulfilling their responsibilities.

Historically, the CIA has destroyed records rather than comply with transparency requirements, as seen with the MKULTRA project and post-9/11 interrogation videos. The public remains the last to know what occurs in their name.

Department of Self-Defense

The classification of security information serves as a protective shield. The ongoing delay in the UAP report suggests deeper conflicts within the DoD regarding disclosure. Reports indicate that some factions within military and intelligence agencies take the subject of UAPs very seriously but operate without accountability.

According to a Pentagon intelligence officer, there exists a clandestine group that "fetishizes" their secrecy, operating with little oversight. They possess extensive knowledge about UAPs, much of which has not been communicated to Congress due to security concerns.

This alarming situation indicates that certain individuals within the DoD believe they are above the law, prioritizing their own judgment over legal requirements to inform Congress and the public. The concealment of information is facilitated by a strict regime of security classification, creating a culture of secrecy that thrives on power.

Congress has made it clear that this situation is unacceptable and demands change. Yet, their requests continue to be ignored, as the secret keepers operate independently.

Last Chances

The current delay represents just one tactic in a broader struggle against losing control. For those following the slow trickle of UAP disclosure since 2017, it is evident that there is something significant happening.

Freedom of Information Act requests have revealed a long-standing campaign to mislead the public about UAPs, initiated by the U.S. Air Force in 1947 and supported by the CIA. Those who maintain this culture of secrecy have effectively eliminated accountability to the American public.

The Wilson memo serves as a testament to the power dynamics at play, illustrating the lengths to which those in control will go to keep information hidden.

The rationale that disclosing details about UAPs could compromise national security is convenient for those in power, but senior congressional members possess the necessary security clearances. Clearly, those holding the information are unwilling to share it.

As Congress prepares to issue another round of demands for disclosure, it is essential to recognize the seriousness of the situation. They are dissatisfied with the responses received thus far and have outlined specific legislative measures to address the lack of compliance.

In light of recent events, including the insurrection incited by a former President who ironically signed the UAP report requirement into law, it begs the question: will any consequences arise for those neglecting to uphold the law regarding the overdue UAP report?

The reality is that the civilian government may have lost control over the military-industrial complex, as warned by Dwight Eisenhower.

What can be done? To dismantle the layers of secrecy, we must first identify those responsible. Even if we could pinpoint these rogue entities, they may choose to withhold information, demonstrating their proficiency in evading accountability.

At this juncture, our best chance lies in the upcoming legislative vote. It is crucial to contact your representatives and senators to express your concerns about the absence of the UAP report, which is your legal right to receive.

And if you feel inclined, inquire about who is accountable. However, do not expect a straightforward answer, as that information may still be classified.
