Whether you believe UFOs/NHI are real or not, two logically safe takeaways emerge from the just-released UFO files: 1. The U.S. government has spent 80 years controlling not just information, but reality itself. Not reality in the ultimate sense, but institutional reality---what universities, journalists, scientists, and public officials are allowed to discuss and investigate. That is deeper than controlling which answers the public is given. It is controlling which questions are allowed to be asked in the first place. 2. The government repeatedly withheld evidence of UFOs even when releasing it would not have exposed classified technology, sources, or methods. These two points beg the following question: Why would the U.S. government sustain an 80-year global coverup, not to conceal specific sightings that would compromise classified data, but to erase the very idea that UFOs can exist at all? Why would you work that hard to delete an entire category of reality from public consciousness… if there was nothing real in that category? submitted by /u/8ad8andit [link] [comments]
