There have been dozens of whistleblowers who have leaked classified information on a range of subjects, torture, mass surveillance, drone strike programs etc. - all of which pale in comparison in significance to the potential existence of alien life. And those programs are all relatively nascent. Yet we are supposed to believe in 80 some odd years there hasn't been one person with access willing to break the law and face jail time (for which the public outcry would almost certainly demand an eventual pardon) to blow the lid on the biggest story in human history, when so many other have done it for far less significant causes? submitted by /u/AlternativeWinter823 [link] [comments]
