Stop Expecting The Government to Admit We’re in Collapse

They never acknowledge what they can’t or won’t fix

Remember during past decades when the government denied the existence of UFOs? (Stick with me here, this is about collapse.)

Military officials appeared on national television to make jokes about “little green men” from Mars. Our government basically performed state-sanctioned character assassinations on credible experiencers regardless whether the witness was a farmer, cop, or airline pilot.

The lives of decent people were ruined.

For half a century, the public waited anxiously for some official disclosure revealing that our planet was being visited by something from somewhere else. Fully 80% of Americans suspected the government was lying.

They didn’t acknowledge it because they didn’t have an answer. Managing the public response has always been more expedient than solving a problem.

After five decades of spoon feeding everyone bullshit, the US Navy drafted classified guidance for pilots and military personnel to report sightings.

They now call these “Unexplained Aerial Phenomena” or UAPs. The military needed to distance themselves from UFO, because they invested enormous time and effort to bastardize that term…
