    How would info from the 00s be “for the soviets?”

    I think you should watch the hearings.

      Yeah, I probably should be more up to date on what is being said before speculating. Not sure I have the patience but perhaps that means I should just keep my mouth shut.

      Sure will be interesting to see where this ends though.

        I can save you two hrs (though it is a very interesting hearing). There are basically 3 possible options, given the paper trail/witnesses.

        1: There is a massive public/private embezzlement scheme going on, and “off the books” UAP funding is one of the many ways funds are embezzled

        2: UAPs are alien craft, past and present, and the US has some forms of these craft (some very old, some shot down or crashed recently) and studies them off the books

        3: There is a massive disinformation network that our own auditing got caught up in

        All 3 are pretty wild stories, from a government-transparency/constitutional balance of power concern.

        Pending evidence review in a SCIF (next hearings), it seems the most likely outcome is #1 or #2, both of which are fucking crazy and worth headlines.

          #1 is hardly far fetched. Create an organization in the government with a top secret rating. Divert money. Avoid all questions or fake some answers occasionally. Grift for decades.

            It’s not so much that it’s far fetched as something we really, really want to catch and disincentivize
