Imagine an unelected, twenty-something-year-old bureaucrat, with a man-bun, wearing cargo shorts and a tee-shirt emblazoned with gutter-words, sitting in a chair in the Oval office. Imagine him, telling the President of the United States, in response to his question about UFOs/UAP, “I’ve decided that you don’t have a need to know that.”
That outrageous scenario may, in some form, actually be real. US Representative Tim Burchett (R-TN), in an online interview on Newsmax, stated that gatekeepers are illegally stonewalling Congress. Speaking as openly as possible, given the top-secret information he has been given, he (along with others in Congress) has seen proof that the space aliens are on Earth. The facts, he said, are so blood-chilling that, if and when the secrets are finally publicly revealed, paraphrasing, “You won’t be able to sleep at night.”
We are talking about secrets to which even Congress and the President have only limited, partial access, not by law, but at the whim of a super-secret cabal, hidden in the depths of a shadowy government that none of us elected. This is not a science-fiction thriller. A bipartisan congressional subcommittee has made repeated attempts to perform its Constitutional oversight responsibilities, to gain access to the information, and been thwarted at every turn by people who seem to somehow “own” the levers of power, and are accountable to no one.
Bone-chilling? Really? Recently, eight high-level officials, who apparently knew the secrets, have all mysteriously disappeared, been murdered, or otherwise died. We cannot conclusively explain what happened—but Burchett stated in the interview that he is not suicidal, nor does he engage in dangerous activities, so that if something bad happens to him, we should be skeptical of any official versions of the story of his untimely demise. What gave him a reason to say this?
Why is the secrecy so extreme? Why does the UFO/UAP phenomenon warrant this extraordinary level of safeguarding from the public, the President and Congress?
Certainly, it would be no big deal (or a very small deal) if the President were to address the nation, and say something like, “The UFOs are real. They are not of this Earth. We don’t know who they are, or why they are here. Their technology is vastly greater than ours. So far, they have not acted in a destructive manner toward us, but if they ever do, there is nothing we can do about it. So go about your normal lives, and make America great again.”
We could live with that. Many of us already assume that something like that is the case.
There might be a bit more concern if he said, “We have recovered crashed UFOs, and are studying them to see if we can usefully copy any of their technology. If we can, then perhaps we may benefit enormously, but so far, we have not done so. We have to keep these research efforts secret, because our enemies may also try to gain an advantage from the alien technology. We will keep the secrecy to a minimum, and we will keep the appropriate congressional oversight committees fully informed.”
If the President were to say such a thing, then the futures markets might go a bit crazy with the uncertain possibilities of dramatic new technologies soon to emerge. Will we have a cheap and endless source of energy? Aircraft that travel in minutes across the globe? Weapons that will protect us from any earthly enemy? Safe and abundant food supplies for everyone? Will no one be required to work anymore?
Is that the reason for the secrecy? Do we already have such technologies and fear to release them because of the economically catastrophic disruptions and displacements they would surely bring?
Somehow, that does not seem to be a sufficiently plausible explanation for the UFO secrecy.
Unfortunately, the actually plausible explanations all have sinister implications. Government agencies that illegally keep secrets, without oversight, and without accountability, generally can do whatever they please, for their own selfish, albeit institutional, reasons. We would like to think of those agencies in terms of the Manhattan Project, which acted responsibly and patriotically for the national good. We would also like to believe (sarcasm alert) in Santa Clause, but we would be fools to trust our future to such a belief.
There came a time when the Manhattan Project could no longer be kept secret. The nuclear bombs reached critical mass, exploded on target, and the world would never be the same again.
There is some evidence that the UFO secrets are becoming
ever more difficult to conceal. They are beginning to reach critical
mass. Will the world be changed forever?
