The discussion about UFOs unfolded in the United States became a cover for a “good gesheft”

How and why the alien threat affected the US defense budget, said Advisor to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Russia, retired Major General of Police, Doctor of Law, Honored Lawyer of the Russian Federation, Honorary Officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, ex-head of the Russian Central Bureau of Interpol, author of books on wrestling with organized crime Vladimir Ovchinsky.

– Vladimir Semenovich, the existence of UFOs has been talked about for many years. Yes, there is, it would seem, all the evidence: chronicle references, eyewitness accounts, drawings, photographs, videos … However, for centuries, these facts did not particularly worry anyone. As they say, some unidentified garbage flies, does not touch anyone – and that’s fine. Why are you so excited now?

– The key point in your question is “does not touch anyone”. What if it touches? H. G. Wells’ novel The War of the Worlds still captures the imagination. Many sincerely believe that this is a prophecy, albeit a bit old-fashioned. But who’s stopping you from rewriting it in a modern way?

“Do you really believe that an alien threat exists?”

“Frankly, I just don’t know. Everything can be. As Prince Hamlet said, “There are many things in the world, friend Horatio, that our wise men never dreamed of.” But the fact that this hypothetical threat can be successfully speculated and make a good profit on this is for sure. It was under the discussion about UFOs that the US adopted a sensationally gigantic defense budget for 2024.

– How did it happen?

– As always, very democratic. A former military intelligence officer told House lawmakers on July 26 that the executive branch allegedly kept secret information about some mysterious objects for years. Congress is supposedly kept in the dark about “unidentified anomalous phenomena” (UAPs) or UFOs (UFOs).

A heated discussion ensued, to the noise of which they quietly passed the largest ever US defense budget for 2024 – almost $ 900 billion.

Psychologically, it was calculated exactly – everyone was so fascinated by the theme of aliens, beloved since childhood, that all party strife went aside when voting for the military budget.

– And what was so sensational and simply new about UFOs at the hearings in the US Congress?

– I’m afraid to upset you – basically nothing.

The whistleblower was David Grush, who served 14 years as an intelligence officer in the Air Force and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency of the US Department of Defense. Until 2023, he led the analysis of unexplained anomalous phenomena in this agency. Grush appeared before the Homeland Security Subcommittee of the House Oversight Committee on July 26, 2023, along with two former fighter pilots who allegedly had direct experience with the UAP.

Until early 2023, Grush was the spokesman for two Pentagon task forces investigating the UAP. He told lawmakers that he was briefed on “the UAP’s multi-decade program to find and reverse-engineer failures” in the course of his work looking into covert programs. The intelligence officer said he was denied access to these programs when he asked for it and accused the military of misappropriating funds to protect these operations from congressional oversight.

– Did you steal?

– Not excluded. After all, the topic is lengthy and slippery, the costs are not provable. Grush later said that he spoke with officials who had first-hand knowledge of flying objects of “non-human” origin, and that so-called “biological preparations (remains)” were recovered from some ships.

The hearing was prompted by Grush’s claims in June that the government was secretly harboring an alien spacecraft. On July 26, Grush repeated some of these statements, though not all, under oath.

The hearings generated a lot of interest around the world and sparked speculation and claims that the US is hiding evidence of alien life and technology. True, these assumptions sounded with large doses of skepticism.

Was it taken seriously without physical evidence? Or was the evidence presented?

– Alas, only words, many words – even under oath.

Grush filed a complaint in 2022. He said he was commissioned by the government to investigate what the military and other agencies knew about aliens and alien craft. But at the same time, he claimed that he was not allowed to access secret government UFO programs.

Speaking on July 26 of this year, Grush said he faced “very cruel” retribution as a result of his allegations. “It hurt me both professionally and personally,” he says.

Under interrogation, Grush confirmed that he was aware of “people who suffered” from the government, seeking to hide information about UFOs. Moreover, he told the oversight committee that he himself feared for his life. In general, a Hollywood detective thriller.

– And in Congress all this was taken seriously?

– -Not that word! Grush’s assertion, in an interview with Debrief and NewsNation, that the federal government was hiding the existence of an alien craft from Congress caused an uproar in June 2023, prompting a Republican-led oversight committee to launch an immediate investigation.

Although there were no “little green men” at the hearing, Grush said that the US has restored, that is, revived, alien beings.

– This is already pulling for a Nobel Prize …

– Or – to a serious international scandal. After Grush confirmed his position that the government had crashed extraterrestrial vehicles, he was asked “do we have the bodies of the pilots who piloted this craft?” And this amazing scout, without blinking an eye, confirmed: there is. “As I have publicly stated in my interview with NewsNation, some of these recoveries have been biologics,” Grush said.

These biologics, according to Grush, were “non-human, and that was an assessment of people with direct knowledge of the program that I spoke to, who are currently still in the program.”

– That is, Grush personally did not see these “animated” aliens?

– Did not see. But that’s not the point – who needs it? The main thing is that he spoke loudly about it. Grush said the government had probably been aware of the “non-human” activity since the 1930s (poor Wells!). However, Grush was less frank under oath than in media interviews (apparently, he was afraid of prison for lying).

In a June 2022 interview with NewsNation, Grush claimed that the government has a “very large, football field-sized” alien craft, while he told French newspaper Le Parisien that the US has a “bell-shaped flying machine.”

But on July 26, 2023, Grouch did not seem to want to go into the details of his own statements, citing security concerns.

And now – the moment of truth: Grush admitted that he himself did not see the alleged alien ship. He says his claims are based on “extensive interviews with senior intelligence officials.” And what about these “revelations”?

– Really, how?

“So members of both parties were wondering how Congress should investigate these wonderful allegations. Ah, these members are indignant, they are hiding something from us. And away we go.

Rep. Tim Burchett, a Republican from Tennessee, one of the leaders of the UFO investigation, said that the US has evidence of technologies that “defy all the laws of our physics” and that alien ships have technologies that can “turn us into coal briquette. True, he soon realized that he had smoked something wrong, and on July 26, 2023, he lowered his tone: “We are not going to call little green men or flying saucers to the hearing. Sorry to disappoint about half of you all. We’ll just get down to the facts.”

Everyone laughed. After all, there were no facts, and no.

Ironically, even US Department of Defense spokeswoman Sue Gough admitted that the Pentagon “has not found any verifiable information to support claims that any programs relating to the possession or reverse engineering of extraterrestrial materials have existed in the past or exist in the past.” present time”. She also said the agency is “committed to timely and thorough reporting to Congress.”

– Topic closed?

– No matter how! For a long time, the impressions of various pilots who allegedly saw “flying cubes”, “smooth seamless objects” frozen above the water, “revival of aliens” were procrastinated for a long time. Several videos have even been released of non-descript objects hurtling through the air at very high speeds with no apparent method of movement.

Moreover, the Pentagon’s Office of Anomaly Resolution in All Areas, created by Congress to investigate incidents, as of May 2023, was investigating about 800 UAP reports.

– Have you found out something?

Again, nothing specific. While the military says most of the cases are harmless in origin, many other “experts” believe the facts remain unexplained. And that allows lawmakers to argue that the military knows more about unidentified objects than they told Congress.

“Maybe that’s how it is?”

– Maybe. But where are the facts? The same Burchett, when asked in Congress what he learned about alien ships in the course of his investigation, said: “I believe that they exist. I knew this even before I came here. I didn’t learn much because I already knew the answers, but I was glad it was on the record.” Agree, very convincing…

In the meantime, US government officials say none of the sightings have led to the discovery of extraterrestrial life. Earlier in 2023, the Office of Anomaly Resolution in All Areas determined that nearly 200 of the 366 recently recorded sightings were “undistinguished” and could possibly be classified as common objects found in the air. That is, drones, balloons and random trash like plastic bags.

“Then what’s all the fuss about?”

“For the money, of course. Thus, the “deep state” of the United States forms a militarized economy and financial system, which, by design, should prevent the impending financial and economic crisis. And for this it is necessary to revive its military-industrial complex. They suggest that you need to come up with a new image of the enemy. Former enemies – Russians, Chinese, Iranians and abstract terrorists (whom they themselves brought up) have somehow become boring and do not cause the desired horror in the population. Moreover, no one has ever invaded the United States (oh, sorry, there were aggressive Indians …) But aliens – yes. Those – can (Hollywood will explain everything and clearly show).

So why not finance defense against them and milk the budget?
