Alien Agenda?

Alien Agenda?

Disclosure politics lands on the White House lawn

Yeah, I’m going there.

Here’s a little something from out of left field that I now think is worth putting on everyone’s radar: There is a lot percolating in UFO world, and, for the first time, there’s a real possibility it is going to spill into the political world in a way that cannot be ignored.

I’ve been a UFO buff since I was a kid. I’m talking Donald Keyhoe, Betty and Barney Hill, et. al. I’ve followed the subject closely and consistently. I am convinced that: 1) There are real UFOs/UAPs/USOs of non-human intelligence (NHI), and 2) The US government has NHI craft and bodies, and has had ongoing programs retrieving and attempting to back-engineer craft, at least since the 40s, including programs of disinformation and fakery. Ditto Russia, China, and maybe other governments.

The OG of UFO

Now, you may think I’m nuts. Which is OK.  I'm not interested in convincing anyone. It’s a subject that is filled with disinformation and fakery and deserves the utmost skepticism.  One needs to spend a lot of time to sort it out. I also think, when one does sort it out, there is so much evidence that it is only denied because of severe threats against disclosure, combined with rigorous siloing, epistemological anathema, and consistent ridicule, which works very well.

It’s also easily hidden and considered something not worth thinking about, because it doesn’t seem to make a difference. Indeed, even though the USG reversed decades of absolute denial and acknowledged the existence of UAP/USO of unknown, and possibly extraterrestrial, origin eight years ago, that news—which many thought would freak everyone out, or at least provoke some sharp public interest—has been absorbed and forgotten as if it were a weather report. So, though the phenomenon obviously has spectacular implications, it has had no discernible significant effect on society or people's lives, politically or economically. I’m a Marxist, and this phenomenon has had no effect on the class struggles on earth we must focus on. (Though,Yes, Virginia, there is a corpus of Marxist Ufology.)  

Even the technological advances some claim were gleaned from studying NHI craft since the 1940s—fiber optics, night vision, semiconductors, etc.—were not all that impossible within normal human science, and have not had earth-shattering effect. We’re still waiting for a good flying car. You’d think, if exponentially advanced energy and propulsion systems have been zipping around for 80 years, that would have radically upended life as we know it—or at least appeared as a super weapon to win a war. And it hasn’t. So, whether the phenomenon is real or not, it’s been irrelevant.

That may be about to change.

First of all, the phenomenon is getting more brazen. The mass wave of “drone” sightings last year over towns, beaches, and military facilities in the Northeast (and not just the NE, and not just New Jersey) was impossible to hide, or to explain. It’s clear “drones” are the new “swamp gas.” But that flap still had no dangerous effects that couldn’t be ignored. This year, the phenomenon impinged on political/military events in a way that was dangerous. The wave of "drone" sightings over European airports and military installations was likely related to the phenomenon, and it was blamed, and used to suggest an attack, on Russia. That's a kind of provocative appearance in a crisis situation that does threaten to destabilize the world.

Second, in unprecedented ways, the political and media establishments are taking the phenomenon seriously. A ripple started with the NY Times story in 2017, when the paper of record recognized the seriousness of the phenomenon and the credibility of the pilots witnessing it. It was a story that cancelled the automatic ridicule toward discussing the phenomenon. The ripple has become a flood since David Grusch came out in 2023 and testified before Congress, convincing a bipartisan group of legislators—from Rubio to Schumer to Gillibrand—of the reality of NHI craft and “biologics,” and prompting them to attempt to pass strong whistleblower and disclosure legislation on the subject. They could not, because the resistance of whatever deep-deep state element controls this was still too strong.  Two years later, there have been more congressional hearings with more credible witnesses.  There are now hundreds of people in the know—military, intelligence, scientific, and political—opening up about this in greater detail, in podcasts and in closed-door congressional meetings. If you’re on any media, you can’t escape it.

The new documentary film, Age of Disclosure, is now the leading edge of this tide of revelations. It features 34 former and current scientists and senior government, military, and intelligence officials who claim to have direct knowledge of NHI and of an 80-year craft recovery and reverse engineering program—people like Jay Stratton, former director of the Pentagon’s UAP Task Force, who says: “I have seen with my own eyes nonhuman craft and nonhuman beings.” It also claims that President George H. W. Bush knew of NHI who landed at Holloman Air Force Base in 1964, and that Presidents George W. and Donald Trump (in his first term), considered, but decided against, revealing the truth about the phenomenon.

Now, again, you may think this is all a load of bullshit, but this film, and the narrative it represents, is being taken seriously by mainstream politicians and media. At this point, there is just too much of the story out there, in too much detail, and I think there is a non-zero chance that something more is going to give, in a dramatic way. A “disclosure” is happening and being believed, and what the politicians and military/intelligence figures involved in this fear most now is what they call “Catastrophic Disclosure”—a reveal that is not managed properly enough to avoid upsetting the fundamental structures of political and economic power.

Of course, it would also provide the ultimate distraction from the crises of late capitalism and fading hegemony. The preferred spin would be to use the UAP phenomenon to gin up a New Cold War arms race—We have to figure out how to fully weaponize NHI tech before the Chinese or Russians do. ‘Cause they’re working on it, too, and may already be ahead.

Or maybe Werner Von Braun’s alleged prediction that the USG will use a false-flag alien invasion to demand the weaponization of space—a prediction recently reprised by Jeremy Corbell. Whatever gets the defense contractors fed. 

Fictional or real, there’s a UAP disclosure story waiting to be used to exacerbate “New Cold War” international tension and militarism—which is especially sad if it’s real.

So, there is now a push—based on the intense interest of administration insiders like Rubio and the fear of Catastrophic Disclosure—for Trump to announce that, Yes, we are not alone in the universe. The US has NHI craft and bodies and programs for investigating them. The pitch to him is that it would be the most important presidential speech ever, and would cement his legacy as the most important president ever. And if he doesn’t do it, Putin or Xi might. Why leave them the opportunity? ‘Cause the story is coming out, one way or another. Historical, cosmological narcissism. A pretty irresistible pitch for Donald Trump.

To be sure, this is an ultimate Black Swan warning—there is only the slightest chance of it happening and enormous, unknown consequences if it does. I say only a “non-zero” chance because, even after the NYT and David Grusch, until right now, I would have put the chance at 0—either because, if you wish, there’s nothing to disclose, or because the resistance will continue to be, as it has been, absolute for reasons we’ll never know.

One of four things will be the case:

1.      The phenomenon is not real, and there will be no “disclosure” about it.

2.       The phenomenon is not real, and there will be a fictional “disclosure” about it, as a device for manipulating the population.

3.      The phenomenon is real, and it will continue to be denied, to serve the purposes it always has.

4.      The phenomenon is real, and there will be “disclosure” about it, which you can be sure will be manipulatively limited and fictional in its own way, for its own purposes. 

I still think 3 is the most likely scenario, and five years from now, we’ll be having the same discussion. This is the most closely guarded secret. But, for the first time, 4 is possible. I put the chances at about 10%. Let’s keep the possibility in mind, and not be blindsided by it should it occur.

 If the phenomenon is real, disclosing even a bit of it will be fantastic enough to capture people’s attention, but there’s a danger that people will then demand disclosure beyond the obvious, and I’ll just say, after thinking I knew about this for decades, I’ve recently come to think it’s much weirder than we’re prepared for—an alterity,  an “other,” that we cannot have imagined. There are more things in heaven and earth… 

We live in interesting times. Live long and prosper.
