In his commentary published today (Dec. 11, 2023) in The Messenger, I think Dr. Avi Loeb nails it when he says efforts at E.T. transparency won’t reveal any truths if the UFOs aren’t extraterrestrial, but rather products of our own Pentagon, or military-industrial complex:

I found these two paragraphs to be most interesting. From The Messenger commentary:

“Given all of that, the fundamental question is whether Grusch possibly exaggerated or even misinterpreted Defense Department information that was brought to his attention — or perhaps repeated unsubstantiated claims that potentially cover up secret research programs within the U.S. military-industrial complex. Although there might be people out there who wish to misinform the American public or adversarial countries, we do not know if this is the case with these or any UAP claims.

“Deciding whether to believe UAP buzz has consequences. Congress is currently debating the level of public disclosure that should be applied to its UAP data. Around the time of Grusch’s testimony, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), ranking member of the Subcommittee on Cybersecurity for the Armed Services Committee, crafted an amendment, the UAP Disclosure Act of 2023, intended to be part of 2024 Defense funding legislation. If Grusch’s testimony reflects misinformation, Congress should ignore the proposed amendment because it would lead to a waste of resources and unwarranted public attention — and not produce the data or evidence that could be used to verify such claims.”

I would take this line of reasoning a little further, adding that it likely isn’t merely “misinformation,” but organized, relentless, professional-grade DISinformation that led to Grusch’s whistleblower saga.

I mean, after all, if Mr. Grusch is not a willing purveyor of disinformation, then we have to assume he was led to believe these things through a sophisticated effort that included faked documents, data, photos, bogus eye-witness claims, etc. In other words, he was fed disinformation from people on the inside.

Anyway, thanks for Dr. Avi Loeb for his insights!
