It's Ok To Smear Whistleblowers If It's About UFO's

The allegations made by David Grusch are explosive but it is shameful to attack the credibility of a whistleblower while investigators prevent his classified evidence from being released.

There are many well documented examples of elements within the national security branch of the U.S government conspiring to commit horrific crimes. This is always paired with an additional crime spree known as the cover-up. It is all wrapped in a layer of secrecy we recognize as security clearance so that the only people who can have access to any of this information are cleared by the one’s committing the crimes. The only way the public can learn of these obscene act are when individuals already inside these institutions object strongly enough that they are willing endure great professional and person risks to expose wrong doing. We are entirely dependent on whistleblowers such as Daniel Hale, Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden and Daniel Ellsberg to learn what the most secretive parts of our national security apparatus are actually doing.

Until he resigned from his job in April, David Grusch was a high level national security official with the highest level security clearance. At one point in his career he was on the team that put together the Presidents daily national security briefing. This doesn’t mean I’ll believe anything he says because of his titles or clearance. It does give important context to his proximity to the most classified information which goes to determining whether David is a credible source. Over the last few years he’s been part of an official task force with the objective of collecting information on UFO’s and reporting back to congress. It was during this time he claims to have found incontrovertible evidence of an illegal black program run by a faction of the national security apparatus including private defense contractors operating outside the oversight of congress and the president to retrieve working and partial UFO’s. This explosive allegation was first published in an article in the Debrief and in an interview on Newsnation.

A declassified version of the official Whistleblower complaint of reprisals filed with the Intelligence Community Inspector General on 5/25/23 by lawyers representing Grusch has recently been made public. It states that after providing classified information to the IG in July 2021 proving element of the intelligence community were illegally concealing a UFO program from congress, several actions had been inexplicably restricted. After investigators reviewed the complaint and interviewed people working in the program they found the complaint “urgent and credible” before bringing it to the director of national intelligence. David has since briefed members of congress with the highest clearance for 11 hours, all under threat of prosecution for perjury if he’s caught lying. Again, I don’t just accept government investigators conclusions as automatically true but it adds to the credibility of this story.

The accusation that the government and corporations have been in possession of alien technology for decades rightfully makes a lot people stop the conversation and demand extraordinary evidence. I can’t say it’s true myself until I see proof but what I can say is David Grusch appears to be a credible source with a trail of supporting facts backing up his story. Unfortunately I see many otherwise thoughtful people clinging to the momentary absence of publicly available evidence [which has been handed over to investigators] as proof that this story is fake. David has no intention of keeping all this evidence secret. It’s just a matter of time until it’s released and we can end that debate. Where that leaves us is in the meantime is with a credible source, and if even half of his story is true that would change the world as we know it. At the very least this merits some level of intellectual curiosity from the public.

Healthy skepticism is required when following news stories. No one wants to be the gullible person who fell for a hoax. The opposite, a person unwilling to challenge their beliefs when presented with new information isn’t an ideal position to be in either yet that’s where a lot of typically critical thinkers have landed since this story came out. The mix shallow incomplete analysis and mental gymnastics being used to explain this story away is breath taking.

“Real Whistleblowers Face Retaliation From The Government For Exposing Secrets”

When I see this I know immediately that the person hasn’t read the full article, watched the interview that clearly state investigators found the whole complaint, including the part about retribution “urgent and credible” nor did they read the unclassified complaint of reprisals. It’s also worth mention that in the article it explicitly states Grusch won’t publicly go into details about all the retaliation he faced because there’s still an ongoing investigation but journalist Ross Coulthart who spoke to the whistleblower for 7+ hours mentioned on his own podcast “Need To Know” that government agents allegedly broke into David’s home at some point. The extent of the retaliation won’t be known until David speaks about it publicly.

This question of retaliation gets to a valid sentiment based on years of evidence that all major whistleblowers especially in the military industrial complex end up in jail when their identity is revealed. All those legendary whistleblowers I mentioned earlier were prosecuted by the government for exposing crimes. Time will tell if Grusch will ultimately be prosecuted. As for now an important distinction between Davids’ case and whistleblowers like Snowden is that he filed his complaint through official channels including congress and the inspector general while seeking protections from prosecution. That isn’t condemnation of whistleblowers who choose to go directly to the public with their information. Personally I’ll always be on the side of more public transparency. The reality is whenever this route is taken it triggers prosecution because our justice system incorrectly views insiders exposing crime as someone exposing legitimate state secrets. They don’t have the authority to declassify any information so under this theory both are prosecutable.

All whistleblower accept that there’s some risk to their safety. It’s still human nature to take the path of least resistance. If Grusch and his lawyers found that the best way to get this evidence to the public while avoiding prosecution was to file an official complaint, so be it. Shouldn’t it be considered a win for transparency advocates that a whistleblower is able to challenge power without losing their freedom? To imply that this damages his credibility as a whistleblower is an admission that you only trust government sources in prison. Apparently prison time and torture is a pre-requisite to having any credibility as someone who comes forward about criminality in the government.

“This Is A Government Psy-Op To Give More Money To The Military Industrial Complex “

This one is my favorite. Ironically while trying to debunk David Grusch some are resorting to baseless theories with even less supporting evidence than the original story. I know for a fact the government regularly runs psychological operations and disinformation campaigns on the public. However this would be the first time in history where the governments plan to manipulate the public involves a high level official fabricating an elaborate conspiracy theory, implicating factions in the nation security state of felonies that will inevitable invite investigations and public scrutiny onto themselves. That’s some real galaxy brain mental gymnastics.

Furthermore, the military industrial complex get’s a blank check for endless war every year. The president regularly gets billions more for the pentagon than he even asks for. Right now we’re fully prosecuting a war against a nuclear power and their allies in what’s effectively a third world war. There’s no dissent in congress on the limitless spending on defense contractors in Ukraine. They can get what ever they want for the manufactured wars going on already. As far as funding the new Space Force; Congress was already giving billions of dollars to the program anyway with no push back. To go to these lengths to get a couple billion dollars doesn’t seem credible to me. The juice just isn’t worth the squeeze.

To call this entire story a government psy-op is does nothing but undermine the credibility of a whistleblower who the record shows is facing retaliation for telling his story. You’d have to be claiming he is a devious liar with nefarious intentions, or he’s too dumb to realize that all the findings of his investigation including hours of interviews with high level officials who claim to be currently working in this program and the classified documents they provided him were all made up. No one can provide shred of evidence to back up this assertion.

“It’s All One Big Government Distraction”

We all just lived through a pandemic caused by a government lab where entire countries shutdown, the rich ran out the back door with all the money and the government forced people to take experimental drugs from their corporate donors under fraudulent pretenses. None of that is the topic of discussion anymore. We’re rapidly escalating a war with a nuclear armed country that can very likely trigger nuclear annihilation. I host a news show and I can’t get enough people to give a shit about such an existential issue. The idea that the government needed to concoct a criminal conspiracy against themselves to distract us from important issues isn’t believable to me.

As someone who regularly covers the war machine, the idea that there are factions of the security state operating outside the law and without the oversight of the president or congress to advance their own agenda has been proven a long time ago. If someone at the highest levels of government is not only acknowledging this fact but coming forward with evidence of financial crimes to fund this program, locations of secret bases, on the record testimony from people who worked within this program and the names of decisions makers the we should be demanding this evidence be made public. Instead I’m seeing people who normally praise whistleblowers reflexively smearing and attempting discredit one.

The more I look into this story the less likely it seems that David Grusch could be fabricating all the findings of his investigation. I’m uncomfortable with the lack of intellectual curiosity to get to the bottom of these claims. The roadmap is already there. It’s not that the evidence doesn’t exist. It’s been given to investigators over a year ago. The public should demand to see this information so we can judge for ourselves. Instead it appears to be more trendy to baselessly smear a whistleblower.
