An honest question.
Why is it that most people here are ready to denounce whatever government says as misinformation and propaganda, yet as soon as it confirms your suspicions and ideas some will believe it immediately? I dont buy the "under oath" thing either, politicians - especially burgers - will lie whenever knowing there would be no consequences.
Recently I saw a lot of people going "SEE? Government confirmed it, there were ayliums on earth!" From people who would instantly refuse anything gov says on any other topic. I just dont get it.
The government isn't a monolithic entity. It's full of divisions and competing interests. The full story is only alluded to in the public hearing. Note this definition from the
Senate amendment to the 2024 NDAA:
LEGACY PROGRAM.—The term "legacy program" means all Federal, State, and local government, commercial industry, academic, and private sector endeavors to collect, exploit, or reverse engineer technologies of unknown origin or examine biological evidence of living or deceased non-human intelligence that pre-dates the date of the enactment of this Act.
Take the following with all the salt in the world if you want, but the narrative here is that the "government" (military) started getting crashed spacecraft around the 1940s, and some
defense contractors started working on them. These efforts were later formalized as
"special access programs" and specifically "unacknowledged special access programs" (USAPs). If you don't need to know, or don't know what to ask, you don't ever get to know. That applies to Presidents.
Maybe there's only a thousand people who are in the legacy program, and some of them don't even know they are working with alien materials. For comparison the Manhattan Project employed up to 130,000 people. There is discontent and slow progress inside the legacy program which has led to some whistle blowing, after "UAPs" started getting more mainstream attention in 2017. Even the people leading the program could be dissatisfied with the status quo, because it's a can of worms they inherited from men who died decades ago.
On the surface, Congress appears happy to discuss the UFO issue on a bipartisan basis right now, but there are definitely Senators and Representatives who want the discussion to go away. They're likely the ones getting the most campaign contributions from Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, etc.
We don't need to trust what Grusch is saying. He's made falsifiable claims about the exact locations and personnel involved in the legacy program in his 11+ hours of testimony behind closed doors. Some of the people who talked to him have reportedly already testified. The claims can be investigated. Full alien Disclosure™ by the government, if it even happens, would be followed by demands for proof, and tard raging over what is provided.
Fake and gay psyop/distraction? Maybe. That's definitely
the consensus over at places like ZeroHedge, home to some of the most jaded and paranoid people alive. Here's a good one,
he wanted to believe, then "the government" said it was true! That is the true black-and-white brainlet take that is proliferating right now, and I'm sure it's the belief of the majority of KF users. Yes, confirmation bias is a thing, but it cuts both ways.
Edit: Would it increase or decrease trust in government, institutions, the media, and The Science if everyone in the world learned we were being lied to about the most consequential events in human history?
