Interesting little squib in The Hill about a smackdown from the intelligence community’s inspector general. In response to Rep. Tim Burchett’s request for information about claims made by whistleblower David Grusch, the inspector general said there is no relevant information to share.

GOP rep renews UFO ‘cover-up’ claim after Intel watchdog response

My own opinion is that the whole UFO conundrum has nothing to do with extraterrestrials. It’s all about covering up top-secret U.S. weapons, notably advanced propulsion systems unknown to the general public, Congress and the executive branch.

That’s why there’s no information to share. It’s not E.T., and the intelligence community certainly isn’t going to share information about classified “black projects” at the Pentagon.

Meanwhile, the sophisticated disinformation being fed to officials like Grusch is very effective in distraction and obfuscation because once you entangle the UFO issue within the rhetorical quagmire of space aliens, the Vatican, and other such nonsense, you relegate the story to the fringe. People don’t ask about top secret Pentagon weapons; instead, they pose fanciful questions about space aliens, time travel, interdimensional beings and various ‘we are not alone’ scenarios. This, in turn, dissuades the mainstream media from inquiring further because the whole story becomes suspect.

I know it sounds crazy, but is it any crazier than E.T. coming here from another solar system just so they can hang out almost exclusively over U.S. military training ranges? We aren’t seeing this epidemic of UFO encounters with the foreign military branches. Now, why exactly is that?

But, hey, I’m not telling you anything you haven’t already considered. It’s all in Flying Saucers!
