I like the interpretation that the UFO news is the equivalent of casual Friday for Congress. Everyone gets to wear silly hats and play pretend for a few hours, it breaks up the boring monotony of giving endless checks to the Pentagon.
Except obviously the pentagon needs some cash to deal with the aliens.
I prefer to maintain an open mind. So while i dont trust government not to use “aliens!” as propaganda. I do actively listen when officials are speaking under oath.
The way I understood what they said. if the military is unable to cooperate and providing more information Then they will move to try strip the military of funds going to those unaccounted projects. (Congress did mention about 60% of military budget going unaccounted)
After all the legal risks for the whistleblowers are huge and if they don’t uphold those when they cant maintain the lie then there basically saying making insane claims under oath is ok.
Space Force, baby! The newest and most well respected branch of the military!
Well sure, but the Pentagon can get as much money as it wants whenever it wants. There's no need to make up shit about aliums.
This is just for fun.
Does it? Or is it just the foreplay for more endless checks for the pentagon to weaponize space
Please, as if the Pentagon couldn't get endless checks to weaponize space without making up shit about ayylmaos
They can ask for any amount of money for any reason and they'd get it, it's just "because Chyna!" gets boring after the hundredth funding discussion. It still works, but that's not fun anymore. This UFO shit is just to spice things up.
