"We Are Not Alone": US Has Retrieved Craft Of 'Non-Human Origin' Says Whistleblower From Govt. Task Force On UFOs

A new report from two veteran (mainstream) journalists citing a decorated whistleblower provides stunning insight into the US Government's history with UFOs.

For those who 'want to believe' - short of a UFO landing on the lawn of the White House, this is it.

For those who think the recent government UFO disclosures are one big psyop, this is it.

Jumping right in...

A former intelligence official turned whistleblower has given Congress and the Intelligence Community Inspector General extensive classified information about deeply covert programs that he says possess retrieved intact and partially intact craft of non-human origin. -The Debrief

The whistleblower, 36-year-old David Charles Grusch, is a decorated former combat officer in Afghanistan who went on to work at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Ageny (NGA) and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) - where he served as the latter's representative to the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force from 2019-2021. Then from late 2021 to July 2022, he was the NGA’s co-lead for UAP analysis and its representative to the task force, which was established to investigate UFOs - which are now officially called "unidentified anomalous phenomena," or UAP. It was launched the Navy under the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, and has since been reorganized into the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, which includes investigations of objects which operate underwater.

Grusch, a whistleblower now represented by an attorney who served as the original Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG), spoke with journalists Leslie Kean (cousin of GOP Sen. Tom Kean Jr. of NJ) who co-authored a 2017 piece in the NY Times revealing that the DoD spent $22.5 million on a secret program to investigate UFOs, and Ralph Blumenthal, a veteran NY Times reporter.

Other intelligence officials, both active and retired, with knowledge of these programs through their work in various agencies, have independently provided similar, corroborating information, both on and off the record. -The Debrief

Our Take: “‘Skully, dem aliens are at it again.’

The notion that extraterrestrial, technologically advanced craft have been downed, recovered, then reverse-engineered for tech later used in society is outlandish, to be sure, but not beyond reproach.

Allegedly credible sources have reported that this is happening. But it's almost impossible to verify.

We do know the following:

• The Military Industrial Complex advances tech for military use that far exceeds what we have in the public domain, e.g. XR3B craft, and various other technology that as denied to exist only to be revealed later that it did exist.

• The 2017 USS Nimitz and USS Theodore Roosevelt release of ‘Official’ UAP videos confirmed that the military encounters objects that operate beyond the technological capacity of aboveboard military forces.

• The NRO has the eyes in the sky to capture UAP data, even if it doesn't release or confirm sightings.

• Unacknowledged Special Access Programs grant the intelligence community well-nigh limitless power to lie, manipulate, cover up, and otherwise limit the release and public recognition of UAPs, both of a terrestrial and extraterrestrial nature.

Given this, it's at the very least plausible to conclude the whistleblower is authentic in their claim that ET craft have been recovered and exploited for military use.

What's more, one of the more prolific Operation Paperclip Nazi's, Wernher von Braun claimed that a global false flag operation involving projections of ET craft in the sky, along with projections of Gods, mystics, and other spiritual figures, was planned for as far back as the 1960s, if not earlier.

The propaganda we've seen over the past 80 years certainly points to the fact this cosmic false flag might be in the works. If so, then is this whistleblower part of that?

Exploring the possibility that it is, we see a slow build up to public disclosure and acceptance.

First, via fictional media, like movies and the like, which have placed the idea of ETs in the public mind, reaching back into the '50s.

Second, the same type of ‘predictive programming’ was used for 9/11, Covid, and other globalist-sponsored societal manipulation events; therefore, it fits the historical trend.

Third, globalists have long sought to dethrone theism and religious power structures, to achieve their long lasting NWO. As part of that, they, allegedly, plan on ‘debunking’ prophetic activity of the past, in some fashion, as ET contacts.

Fourth, the release of the Tic Tac footage, although not explicitly declared to be of ET origin, helped move the public acceptance window toward the cosmic false flag end, of which, mass recognition would be required to achieve success.

Fifth, this whistleblower, if authenticated, would present the first and only official confirmation of ET contact with humanity.

From here, if this is part of a limited hangout prep for a false flag op, then I expect this development to take center stage for some period of time—long enough for it to move the window of public acceptance further, even if it isn't widespread. After a year, or more, another disclosure or event can take place, capitalizing on the public conditioning of the past, to further entrench the beliefs necessary for the triggering of the cosmic false flag op.

All of this is just speculation, assuming this whistleblower's testimony will be authenticated in some fashion .

Of course, this will fuel more debate and distraction for everyone, as the flat earthers argue there are no aliens, the UFOlogy-types jump for joy at another drip of disclosure, and the skeptics dismiss it all as crack-pot conspiracy theory.

Or it's all well-timed distraction to obscure the FBI Biden bribe story that broke on the same day.

Where's the reasonable middle ground in all this?” — Justin Deschamps

Nazi Symbols on Ukraine’s Front Lines Highlight Thorny Issues of History

Since Russia began its invasion of Ukraine last year, the Ukrainian government and NATO allies have posted, then quietly deleted, three seemingly innocuous photographs from their social media feeds: a soldier standing in a group, another resting in a trench and an emergency worker posing in front of a truck.

In each photograph, Ukrainians in uniform wore patches featuring symbols that were made notorious by Nazi Germany and have since become part of the iconography of far-right hate groups.

The photographs, and their deletions, highlight the Ukrainian military’s complicated relationship with Nazi imagery, a relationship forged under both Soviet and German occupation during World War II.

That relationship has become especially delicate because President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia has falsely declared Ukraine to be a Nazi state, a claim he has used to justify his illegal invasion. — The New York Times

Our Take: “Don't think there's been a 'Turn' on Ukraine coverage?

The Actual:

- The Bakhmut Counter-Offensives failed catastrophically.
- Russia's shelling of Ukrainian (NATO) munitions continues.
- US funding to Ukraine is set to expire within 60 days.
- Ukraine's efforts to join NATO are being rebuffed ... by Berlin.

The Narrative:

- Baltic States claim Zelensky is 'provoking' war.
- US State Dep publicly against deescalation.
- NYT admits Western Media ignoring Nazi ideology within Ukrainian forces.

What’s actually becoming humorous is seeing Overton’s Goalpost being applied to Nazi imagery by the biggest legacy media publications in the West. We’re officially at the part of the play where the powers that would be are inching the public close to the following implied truism:

‘Yes, Nazis are fighting against Russians … and that’s a good thing.’

How many Normies do you think are going to fall for that one? Not many.” — Burning Bright

Inside the Complicated Reality of Being America’s Oldest President

There was the time last winter when President Biden was awakened at 3 a.m. while on a trip to Asia and told that a missile had struck Poland, touching off a panic that Russia might have expanded the war in Ukraine to a NATO ally. Within hours in the middle of the night, Mr. Biden consulted his top advisers, called the president of Poland and the NATO secretary general, and gathered fellow world leaders to deal with the crisis.

And then there was the time a few weeks ago when the president was hosting children for Take Your Child to Work Day and became mixed up as he tried to list his grandchildren. “So, let me see. I got one in New York, two in Philadelphia — or is it three? No, three, because I got one granddaughter who is — I don’t know. You’re confusing me.” He also drew a blank when asked the last country he had visited and the name of a favorite movie.

The two Joe Bidens coexist in the same octogenarian president: Sharp and wise at critical moments, the product of decades of seasoning, able to rise to the occasion even in the dead of night to confront a dangerous world. Yet a little slower, a little softer, a little harder of hearing, a little more tentative in his walk, a little more prone to occasional lapses of memory in ways that feel familiar to anyone who has reached their ninth decade or has a parent who has. — The New York Times

Our Take: “Narrative clean up on aisle five!

Biden fell again, after consistently missing his mark and embarrassing the nation during the US Air Force Academy graduation ceremony on June 1. The New York Times, a once celebrated newspaper, has employed four writers in what one can only assume is a pre-paid advertorial meant to carry water for the demented so-called ruler of the United States. And for this, they must have pre-paid these writers a lot to gaslight the Old Gray Lady’s readers.

‘If it were anyone else, the signs of age might not be notable.’ This is hilarious considering Biden could be the poster boy for the memory ward at a middle income retirement home. Another gem declares that his staff successfully present him as, ‘a president in aviator shades commanding the world stage and governing with vigor.’

Sure, okay.

In an attempt to give him foreign policy success, the by-lined gaslighters declare, ‘…people who deal with him regularly, including some of his adversaries, say he remains sharp and commanding in private meetings.’

I’ll take things that never happened for $100, Alex.

These writers should be embarrassed, and real journalists should ask questions about the relationship between the White House and The NY Times, but, most importantly, democrat voters must demand primary debates this season. The DNC has expressed their full support for Biden and has announced that they do not plan to host any official primary debates.

‘Advisers said his judgment is as good as ever. So many of them use the phrase ‘sharp as a tack’ to describe him that it has become something of a mantra.’

Laughable, unbelievable, insulting to the average Americans’ intelligence? Yes. But a line that will stand uncontested unless Democrat voters make him prove it on the debate stage.” — Ashe in America

EU: Twitter leaves voluntary pact on fighting disinformation

Twitter has withdrawn from a voluntary European Union agreement to stamp out disinformation online, a top EU official said late Friday.

"Twitter leaves EU voluntary Code of Practice against disinformation. But obligations remain," EU Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton wrote on Twitter.

"You can run but you can't hide. Beyond voluntary commitments, fighting disinformation will be legal obligation under #DSA as of August 25. Our teams will be ready for enforcement," Breton added, referring to the EU's new Digital Services Act which takes effect in less than two months.

Twitter has yet to confirm its withdrawal from the code, but the decision appears to be the latest move by billionaire owner Elon Musk to loosen the reins after he bought the social media firm last year. — DW

Our Take: “Twitter is still far from fully overhauled, but has taken a big step in separating itself from the Orwellian, 1984-like censorship that has run rampant through social media.

One of cancel culture’s biggest weapons is to silence any and all dissenting voices. Twitter exiting the EU disinformation code gives Europeans the right to express themselves, and question the information presented by a corrupted media. This also allows for debate and ideas to flow freely, which is necessary and healthy for society.

Without fail, right on cue, the EU is already threatening consequences.

Showing fear, Thierry Breton made the following statement to the effect of, ‘Twitter can run, but they can't hide.’

I believe the EU is underestimating the citizens of Europe, and grossly underestimating Elon Musk. While I am not necessarily completely sold on Elon, I must admit that he has done a lot of good for social media. Gains for free speech have been a real net positive vs. the previous C.E.O. and Twitter regime.

Altogether, it may not be perfect, but it is a step in the right direction. Standing up to a tyrant such as the European Union gives hope and credence to voices everywhere, which would otherwise be pacified or muted.

Bravo, Twitter. This is the way.” — Johnny Q

Postal Service Releases Final Report – Contract Driver Jesse Morgan Vindicated – Report CONFIRMS He Hauled Trailer of Ballots from NY to PA in Late October 2020

As The Gateway Pundit reported in 2020, election fraud whistleblowers came forward in December following the controversial election, including one who witnessed the shipping of an estimated 144,000-288,000 completed ballots across three state lines on October 21.

The new information was made public at a press conference by the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society, a national constitutional litigation organization.

The Amistad Project said that they have sworn declarations that state over 300,000 ballots are at issue in Arizona, 548,000 in Michigan, 204,000 in Georgia, and over 121,000 in Pennsylvania.

They claim that their evidence reveals multi-state illegal efforts by USPS workers to influence the election in at least three of six swing states.

The whistleblower statements include potentially hundreds of thousands of completed absentee ballots being transported across three state lines, and a trailer filled with ballots disappearing in Pennsylvania.

Attorney Phil Kline said, “130,000 to 280,000 completed ballots for the 2020 general election were shipped from Bethpage, NY, to Lancaster, PA, where those ballots and the trailer in which they were shipped disappeared.”

Truck driver Jesse Morgan was present at the press conference and spoke for 9 minutes about his unbelievable ordeal. Morgan was tasked with delivering completed ballots to Pennsylvania from New York State. — The Gateway Pundit

Our Take: “Jesse Morgan is the 2020 truck driver tasked with delivering completed ballots to Pennsylvania from New York State. He blew the whistle on the USPS when he alleged those ballots went missing after he parked the trailer at the Post Office in Harrisburg. When he returned , the trailer—and allegedly hundreds of thousands of ballots—were gone.

For his honesty, both local and national media mocked and demonized him, AG Barr shut down a Senate-led investigation of the incident, and the story was memory-holed.

The USPS conducted an investigation into the incident, and though the investigation reportedly concluded in June 2022, the report wasn’t published on their website until December 2022. It has since been removed from their website.

In reading the report, it’s abundantly clear why they withheld it from the public. The report findings confirm Morgan’s story—that USPS is involved in transporting ballots across state lines. The report itself is so heavily redacted, that it’s impossible to know all they found, but it does state that it has been submitted to federal prosecutors.

Canncon and I are doing a deep dive into this story on Why We Vote today at 5pm on Badlands Media.

Don’t miss it!” — Ashe in America
