Government officials are publicly admitting they “knew about aliens but lied”? Techbros are jacking themselves to death about how aliens superior intelligence has let them trap us somehow? Apparently the government has new terminology for these space aliens that are supposed to exist? How much of this is real? Or is it mainly just bullshit?

    The purpose of “ufo disclosure” is to manufacture consent for granting epistemological authority and therefore social/political/economic authority to the American m.i.c.

    Intended individual outcomes can range from “give dod more funding to counter X threat, even if we don’t really understand what it is and it might just be china not aliens”, all the way to “govt insiders are active partners in alliance with galactic civ, we should acquiesce to their every suggestion and have no expectation of democratic participation”
