Kansas City Star Depicted Burleson As More Grounded And Hard-Nosed

kansascity  |  Under federal law, Burlison is not permitted to reveal classified information to the public. But after the classified briefing, he still appeared frustrated with how little the federal government is revealing about what it knows.

“Regardless of what it is – aliens, angels, or just us, right?” Burlison said. “Regardless of what it is, I think that Grusch, what he said in the public hearing, that we are being blocked from information, that the information is being specifically compartmentalized, that’s violating federal law.”

He’s not alone. Earlier this year, a bipartisan group of representatives including Burlison and Moskowitz formed the Congressional UAP Caucus. The caucus wrote a letter to Monheim in August seeking more answers about the government’s UAP program.

In the Senate, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, attempted to get a provision in the National Defense Authorization Act allowing the National Archives to collect information on UAPs and reveal it to the public after a certain period of time – similar to how the government handled information about former President John F. Kennedy’s assassination.

But the provision was weakened in the final version of the NDAA. The National Archives can still collect the information, but there will be no committee to go through the papers and authorize what can and can’t be revealed.

“It is really an outrage the House didn’t work with us on adopting our proposal for a review board, which of course by definition here is bipartisan in the Senate,” Schumer said in December. “Now it means that declassification of UAP records will be largely up to the same entities that have blocked and obfuscated their disclosure for decades.”

Burlison said he believes the public has a right to know more about UAPs – or at the very least the representative the public elected to Congress has a right to know. He compared it to the development of the nuclear bomb during World War II, saying some information should be private, but the basic information should be available to the public.

“You can go study nuclear physics, you can go study how power plants operate, but at the end of the day if you are interested in making a bomb, that is top secret information and we should hold that information to the highest level of security,” Burlison said. “But I think the same thing should apply to any of this UAP technology.”

In the meantime, he plans to push to get stronger language in next year’s NDAA and to keep pushing for briefings from people with better knowledge of the UAP program.But he was tight lipped as to whether people will soon learn whether aliens exist and have visited Earth. “If you believe that aliens existed, there’s nothing that I’ve seen or heard that proves that,” Burlison said. “Also, I’ve not seen anything that proves that it’s not.”

Bought And Paid For By The CIA: International Fascism And Anglo-American Foreign Policy

However, this is not the only blunder that the Canadian government has made recently and has blamed “ze Russians” for.

On February 27, 2022, Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland held a scarf bearing the slogan “Slava Ukraini,” meaning “Glory to Ukraine,” with the “Blood and Soil” colors of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) (who collaborated with the Nazis during WWII and massacred Jews and Poles).

According to Freeland’s press secretary, this was just another case of a “classic KGB disinformation smear… accusing Ukrainians and Ukrainian-Canadians of being far right extremists or fascists or Nazis,” which is a confusing statement on multiple levels.

It is not clear how this was a case of “Russian disinformation,” since the picture is indeed authentic, Freeland did not deny this. And she was indeed holding a “Blood and Soil” emblem, which originated with the Nazis, clear for everyone to see. Lastly, it is confusing as to why the Canadian government seems to be unaware that the KGB no longer exists. Are they also under the impression that the Soviet Union still exists?

Not irrelevant in all of this is the fact that Freeland’s grandfather was the chief editor of a Nazi newspaper during WWII in Galicia and that she is indeed aware of this and apparently unapologetic. Whenever she is questioned about this, she does not deny anything, but simply blames such a focus of inquiry on Russian disinformation with the intent to “destabilize Western democracies.”

Interestingly, it was the Canadian newspaper “The Globe and Mail” who reported this story, titled “Freeland knew her grandfather was editor of Nazi newspaper,” thus, not a Russian publication last time I checked. And upon whom did they base such information? None other than Freeland’s own uncle, John-Paul Himka, who was at the time professor emeritus at the University of Alberta.

 

The U.S. Government Cancels DEEP VZN

dailymail  |  US officials are quietly shutting down a taxpayer-funded $125million project to hunt for new viruses due to fears it could spark another pandemic. 

DEEP VZN - pronounced deep vision - was launched in October 2021 with the aim of finding and studying novel pathogens in wildlife in Asia, Africa and Latin America. 

While the research was meant to prevent human outbreaks and pandemics, critics, including Biden administration officials, are afraid it could do the opposite and have voiced their fears about the potentially 'catastrophic risks' of virus hunting.

And their concerns are amplified due to the growing suspicion Covid emerged from an American-sponsored lab in Wuhan, China - a theory the FBI subscribes to.

The project was meant to run until 2026, but DEEP VZN was shut down without a formal public announcement in July 2023.

USAID's DEEP VZN (pronounced deep vision) project was hunting viruses among wildlife in Asia , Africa and Latin America.

While this is the most recent to come to light, it is far from the first research the US has conducted on this matter. 

For more than a decade the government has funded international projects aimed at identifying exotic viruses among wildlife that could infect humans someday, sending millions to support various similar projects. 

Money has flown overseas from the Department of Defense and the National Institutes of Health to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.

DEEP VZN, which stands for Discovery & Exploration of Emerging Pathogens - Viral Zoonoses, was launched by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in October 2021 and less than two years later, USAID officials informed members of Senate committees with jurisdiction over DEEP VZN the program was being shut down. 

The premature closure of the project came abruptly and was privately relayed to Senate aides by the office of Atul Gawande, USAID's assistant administrator for global health.

The news was buried in a congressional budget document hundreds of pages long and was discussed during interviews Mr William conducted with federal lawmakers and researchers. 

A scientist at the center of the Covid lab leak theory has admitted he cannot rule out the possibility the virus escaped a Chinese research facility.

At its launch, USAID said the 'ambitious new project' was meant to work with partner countries and the global community to 'build better preparedness for future global health threats.'

The organization said the project would 'strengthen global capacity to detect and understand the risks of viral spillover from wildlife to humans that could cause another pandemic.

'The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated how infectious diseases threaten all of society, up-ending people's lives and attacking societies at their cores. 

'It is also a strong reminder of the connection between animals, humans, and the environment, and the effect that an emerging pathogen spilling over into humans can have on people's health and on global economies.'

The project was being carried out by scientists from the Washington State University Paul Allen School for Global Health among other research and partner entities. 

The goal was to collect more than 800,000 samples over the five-year period, mostly from wildlife, to identify a subset of 'previously unknown' viruses that 'pose a significant pandemic threat.'

The university sought to detect 12,000 new viruses throughout the program's run and scientists hoped the information would not only help prevent future pandemics, but also better prepare health officials if one did emerge. 

'DEEP VZN is a critical next step in the evolution of USAID's work to understand and address the risks posed by zoonotic diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans.'

However, in a statement regarding the closure of the program, USAID said it had determined the research was 'not an agency global health security priority at this time' and its decision reflected 'the relative risks and impact of our programming.'

 

 

Ignore The Remote Viewing And Psychic Stuff - It's Always Just A Diversion

reddit  |  Okay that’s a lot to digest. Hopefully you looked over the attendees and their backgrounds. The next thing I want to do before digging into the content for analysis is propose a few assumptions. You’ll notice the backgrounds of everyone known are either related to science, intelligence and/or some kind of psychic stuff such as remote viewing. What I want to do now is propose we ignore the psychic stuff and the remote viewing stuff. Just filter it out.

Why? I have a theory that the remote viewing stuff is used as cover for intelligence operations. This isn’t meant to be a debunking or dismissal of psychic research or claims. It makes logical sense that remote viewing would act as perfect cover for intelligence sharing to protect methods and sources. It’s also great obfuscation because it sounds absurd and can’t be adequately explained. For example, a Soviet plane crashes and we want to retrieve it before the Soviets, but we don’t want them to figure out who our man is on the inside with the intel. Well we make it look like we got the information from one of our psychic spies. This scenario actually happened as disclosed by Jimmy Carter. But how do the psychics get the information you ask? The answer is a combination of subliminal messaging, suggestion and techniques similar to neurolinguistic programming (NLP.) A very good example of this kind of illusion can be demonstrated by the illusionist Darren Brown.

Again, this isn’t a debunking of remote viewing. The idea is that even if there is something to it, it’s great cover. Maybe the results above statistical base line was a few percentage points without this “leaking” but they reached 60% by intentional leaking. In this scenario the remote viewers likely would have no idea they are part of the leak. As long as Puthoff protects his sources he has effectively created a human cryptography system. If you consider Puthoff was former NSA and many of the other people involved in the program were part of intelligence networks associated with espionage, this is a very rational explanation. If you think remote viewing is all bullshit then you certainly should consider this theory as a likely explanation for the program which existed for decades and spent considerable resources. It makes more sense than fraud/incompetence.

When we apply this theory as a filter and re-examine the list of attendees we can slash out all the psychic and remote viewing stuff and we are left with purely scientific backgrounds or intelligence backgrounds specifically associated with espionage and psyops. INSCOM being a particularly interesting one.

This filter we can now create can also be used in the opposing way, where we ignore the science and only look at the people associated with the psychic stuff in order to identify the evolution of the mythology. For example, the mythology of an off world craft and ET can be traced back from the Wilson memo to the MJ-12 documents and then back further to the Roswell mythology and then further to the Philadelphia experiment mythology, which interestingly paints a very long running psyop program in which Morris K. Jessup may have been “Paul Bennewitz’ed” (driven to madness and suicide by bad actors) for publishing a book called The Case for the UFO in 1955 in the middle of Project Blue Book when the Air Force was trying to convince the public UFO’s were not real.

Sorry if this turned into a tangent, but I do believe that it’s important to acknowledge that the existence of psyops such as this have been proven to be real and not just a conspiracy theory and that they are a serious problem. Psyops on the public not only leads to ruining personal lives of individuals caught in the cross hairs, but it also drives rampant conspiracy theory in the public and distrust in our government and institutions. It undermines society as a whole and causes widespread mental illness. I once heard someone say, “Either UFO’s are real or we have a serious mental health crisis in our country” and I’d argue it’s a case of both. UFO’s are real and we also have a serious mental health crisis because of all the gaslighting.

Another thing to consider is that this doesn’t happen in a vacuum and that the UFO topic can also be used as cover for intelligence operations the same way remote viewing is. This means it intersects with counterintelligence measures and infiltration attempts by foreign adversaries as well. So not all odd things in ufology are necessarily the US government although this statement is not meant to absolve responsibility. This actually makes a strong case for why it’s in the best interest for the US government to be more transparent on the UFO/UAP topic as it’s become a driving force in undermining the very institutions and public it’s supposed to be protecting.

Another thing to consider when analyzing this meeting is that because of the people involved and the context of the situation, we can’t rule out that the meeting itself is cover for some intel operation. We don’t know what was discussed in that meeting exactly based off of these notes. Period.

Independent Research And Development Activity

disclosurediaries  |  For the past few weeks I've been compiling a Disclosure Timeline and list of Key People in Disclosure for a free educational website I'm officially launching in September, and I stumbled across a pretty interesting quote from an interview Christopher K. Mellon did back in 2016.

"I find it hard to imagine something as explosive as recovered alien technology remaining under wraps for decades. So while I have no reason to believe there is any recovered alien technology, I will say this: If it were me, and I were trying to bury it deep, I'd take it outside government oversight entirely and place it in a compartment as a new entity within an existing defense company and manage it as what we call an "IRAD" or "Independent Research and Development Activity."

Now why is that interesting?

Well, if we revisit that statement in the context of the July 26 UAP Hearing – where Rep. Moskowitz specifically asks Grusch to clarify how the Legacy programs are being funded (pages 27-28) – we see the following exchange:

Rep. Moskowitz: Does that mean that there is money in the budget that is said to go to a program, but it doesn't, and it goes to something else?

David Grusch: Yes. I have specific knowledge of that. Yep.

Rep. Moskowitz: Do you think US corporations are overcharging for certain technology they're selling to the US government and that additional money is going to [Legacy programs]?

David Grusch: Correct. Through something called IRAD.

--

So basically, this re-iterates that Christoper Mellon has had a clear view of the goings-on since (at least) 2016. More importantly, these allegations are now part of the public record.

--

Rep. Cortez (AOC) also later followed up along the same lines (Pages 35-56):

Rep. Cortez: ...Now, when it comes to notification that you had mentioned about IRAD programs, we have seen defense contractors abuse their contracts before through this committee. I have seen it personally, and I have also seen the notification requirements to Congress abused. I am wondering, one of the loopholes that we see in the law is that there is, at least from my vantage point, is that depending on what we're seeing is that there are no actual definitions or requirements for notification. What methods of notification did you observe? When they say they notified Congress, how did they do that? Do you have insight into that?

David Grusch: For certain IRAD activities, and I can only think of ones conventional in nature. Sometimes they flow through certain, how to say, SAP programs that have cognizant authority over the Air Force or something, and those are Congressionally reported compartments. But IRAD is literally internal to the contractor. So as long as it's money, either profits, private investment, et cetera, they can do whatever they want, yeah

Rep. Cortez: To put a finer point on it, when there is a requirement for any agency or company or any agency to notify Congress, do they contact the chairman of a committee? Do they get them on the phone specifically? Is this through an email to hypothetically a dead email box?

David Grusch: A lot of it comes through what they call the PPR, Periodic Program Review process. If it's a SAP or controlled access program equity, and then those go to the specific committees, whether it be the SASC, HASC, HSI.

--

So not only are IRAD programs alleged to be involved with the cover-up of UAP retrieval and reverse engineering programs, it turns out Members of Congress are already familiar with other IRAD misuses. AOC took a very specific and well-informed line of questioning in this hearing, which I was personally quite impressed by.
