Deep dives
Current State of Disclosure Efforts
While there may be concerns that momentum has been lost in the push for disclosure following the historic hearing in front of the House Oversight Subcommittee, Chris Sharp, an independent journalist, asserts that reports of the demise of disclosure are greatly exaggerated. He explains that there are negotiations and discussions taking place behind the scenes involving aerospace corporations, the government, and Congress to find an agreement that benefits everyone's interests. There is a sense of urgency to reach an agreement within the next year, as the reelection of President Trump, who has shown interest in UAP disclosure, could lead to uncontrolled disclosure. The influence of defense contractors, lobbying power, and the potential implications of disclosure are key factors to consider in these negotiations.
Legislative Process and the NDAA
The potential passage of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) with UAP language is currently being negotiated in Congress. Advocacy campaigns have been launched by influencers within the UAP community to encourage representatives and senators to include the UAP language in the NDAA. While there is concern that the language may not be as comprehensive as initially proposed, there is optimism that UAP language will be included. The efforts to ensure the inclusion of UAP language in the NDAA highlight the importance of democratic oversight and transparency in the UAP disclosure process. However, the involvement of defense contractors and conflicting interests may complicate the negotiations.
Ongoing Investigations and Whistleblower Concerns
The Senate Intelligence Committee has been hearing from multiple whistleblowers who have provided information on UAP programs, including David Grush. However, due to the sensitive nature of the information, not all committees are allowed to receive the full scope of the testimony and briefings. Concerns about retaliation against whistleblowers have been raised, but the investigations into these matters are ongoing. The complexity of the legalities surrounding the disclosure process can impact the ability to provide full transparency. There are efforts to uncover abuses and hold hearings, and additional hearings may be expected in the near future.
International Developments and Potential Collaboration
International governments, including China and Russia, have shown interest in the UAP topic and have held conferences and events to discuss it. The potential for collaboration and information sharing between the United States and other countries is being considered, as mentioned in the Schumer amendment within the intelligence authorization. The involvement of other countries adds a global perspective to the UAP issue, and efforts are being made to coordinate with foreign counterparts on UAP-related matters. The role of international organizations, like the SOLVE Foundation, will be crucial in fostering dialogue and collaboration among academics, governments, and industry stakeholders.
The Future of UAP Disclosure Efforts
In the coming months, efforts will continue to negotiate and find common ground among various stakeholders in the UAP disclosure process. Confirmation of the existence of UAP programs and materials of unknown or non-human origin may be expected in the near future. The potential release of a book by Lue Elizondo, a prominent figure in UAP disclosure, is highly anticipated, as it may shed further light on the topic. The focus of UAP disclosure efforts will likely extend beyond the United States, with international developments and collaborations playing a significant role. The mission of organizations like the SOLVE Foundation and the involvement of defense contractors will also shape the future of UAP disclosure.
Today we welcome Christopher Sharp back to the show. Chris is the founder and editor-in-chief of Liberation Times, and has been one of a small handful of independent journalists who has been doggedly pursuing the UFO disclosure story in Washington D.C. over the past few years. While most of the mainstream media is asleep at the wheel, Chris has been churning out high-quality journalism analyzing all aspects of this profound and historic story.
Over the past several weeks since the historic hearing in front of the House Oversight Committee, I’ve seen a lot of confusion and a lot of concern in the community about the status of disclosure, with many worrying that all momentum has been lost. The revelations by David Grusch were so shocking and so incendiary that I think many have been baffled by the relative quiet that has followed. I think for those who aren’t familiar with the vast complexities of how revelations like this are processed through the massive, multi-trillion dollar organization of the US government it’s easy to fear that this lull means that disclosure is dead.
That’s why this felt like the perfect time to bring Chris back on the show to help to frame all the latest regarding disclosure, what’s going on behind-the-scenes, and what still might be on the horizon. Chris is working this story day in and day out and as you’ll hear directly from him—reports of the demise of disclosure have been greatly exaggerated.
