The extraordinary irony is that some ufologists who emphasize experiencers have truly dropped the ball on disclosure.
They don’t understand disclosure. Their cynicism of it has blinded them to the truth.
They even think disclosure threatens understanding of the phenomenon or the world's progress. As if the cover-up is more conducive to revelation.
This couldn’t be further from the truth.
As I see it, disclosure is a radical spiritual upheaval of the human experience and psyche.
In fact, we could say that disclosure makes all eight billion of us experiencers.
This is why I call it a civilizational near-death experience.
Just as those who have died and come back are never the same, our civilization will never ever be the same after disclosure.
Disclosure is the medicine. It’s destiny. Providence.
Skeptics must explain how/why Reid’s highly unusual SAP request aligns perfectly with the Stratton/Elizondo/Grusch/Lacatski/Puthoff/Davis narrative of a (Ryder-proposed) transfer of a retrieved UAP from Lockheed to AAWSAP.

You're confusing rhetorical force with epistemic certainty. Writing style matters. I explicitly qualified my statements with "some ufologists," "as I see it," and "we could say."
Epistemic humility doesn't require always sacrificing rhetorical force.
I'm well known for caveating, who in this field does it more than me? Seriously? Who?
But sometimes, if the writing requires it, I'll minimize it.
Thank you for your concern.
Saying this is a contradiction isn't my personal takeaway.
But @ProfAviLoeb has an excellent point nevertheless, and it's these exact kinds of conversations that pressure the cover-up.
How could there be a UFO back-engineering Cold War between adversaries, and yet the president of the United States isn't told about it?
Thinking the cover-up makes sense is the first mistake.
Avi Loeb says Stratton's story has a contradiction.
On FOX 32 Chicago, Loeb points out that Stratton describes a race between nations to reverse-engineer alien tech, while also saying the president is kept in the dark. "I just cannot imagine a scenario where there will be a race between nations without knowledge of the President."
Does that sink it?

UFO UAP NHI 👀 🛸
As I read Jay Stratton's book, I'm realizing how profoundly misguided it is that some people are upset he's selling a book.
A book is one of the best mediums to share information with the public on sensitive, nuanced issues like UFOs.
In fact, without the book, would he have been asked to be interviewed by so many media outlets?
Nobody will invest hundreds of hours writing a book without financial compensation. And expecting that of anyone is not only unfair, but brutally unrealistic.
As you were.
Reincarnation can exist even if an ancient religion claims it does not. The converse is true too.
Many aspects of reality can exist that religions deem untrue.
I think this will be part of the lesson of disclosure.
That is, you can’t expect reality to conform to your beliefs.
After UFO Disclosure, the phenomena that people have seen and experienced for eons may become less shy.
It makes perfect sense.
Over the past 80 years, for example, these phenomena have shown themselves enough to enter the zeitgeist aggressively, but not enough for their presence to radically change the world in the way that only scientific proof of their existence could.
After disclosure, their incentive to evade definitive proof of their existence may expire since the proof will already have been well established.
This could lead to far more people on our planet having unambiguous experiences with these phenomena, including our scientists.
And I suspect that we have some kind of relationship with them that is not well understood, though the legacy program may have more clarity on that.
In other words, their interest in us may be deeper than just curiosity about another species, but rooted in something fundamental that we have in common.
Think of it this way: Is it a coincidence that we both spend so much time on Earth? After all, the universe is vast.
With the exception of Ross and a handful of other journalists, I don't think many people fully appreciate the potentially historic developments I believe are unfolding behind the scenes at the White House.
Whether they ultimately come to fruition remains anyone's guess.
In a few years, we may find ourselves reading about what could have been. Or we may be on the verge of witnessing something extraordinary.
Either way, hold on tight.
@MusicAndTruth An atheist would just say they do not believe there is a God. Not necessarily that they know there isn't.
If they prefer the word atheist, who cares.
I'm glad there are atheists. It reveals something: many viewpoints can be rational simultaneously.
We think that because we see things a certain way, it is because we are the rational ones.
But have we ever stopped to consider that we see things a certain way because of our unique genetics, upbringing, personality, experiences, and other factors completely outside of our control?
The fact that this is almost always missed is a terrible blind spot that our society has.
Maybe because society wants to think free will is simple, black and white, and always the result of our moral standing.
Wrong. Dead wrong.
I understand atheists want to label themselves that, because they don’t want to be associated with certain religious beliefs, but I’m intrigued why they would wan’t to associate themselves with cosmic hopelessness 2. Either they believe in that, or why not call yourself agnostic?
@muaythhai It does not compute means it doesn't make any sense to me. Can you explain to me how it makes sense?
oh my God. Stop it. It's my opinion we need dicslosure.
What, I'm not allowed to have an opinion?
Huh? I'm just telling you my opinion.
Yes, it's my judgment there is something to disclose. I could be wrong as you could be.
No, I actually said that I think it's silly when people think that disclosure is not necessary but listening to experiencers is. That does not compute for me.
What's so dumb about the idea that governmental disclosure is only deception is that it implies ufology is the truth.
No, friend, this is not how this works.
THE WHOLE DAMN THING IS DEBATABLE.
Your favorite ufologist may be wrong about many issues, functionally deceiving the public about UFOs.
Why we have failed is because ufology has remained fringe, in echo chambers, and outside our institutions and our global conversation.
The solution is sunlight, not cover-up.
Let's do the science. Let's debate. Let's break this shit wide open.
@muaythhai Well, you’re getting into debatable territory that’s nuanced & not binary.
The solution definitely is not the past 80 years & more of the same.
We need disclosure, and saying we don’t is as silly as saying we don’t need to listen to experiencers.
