“What does he have to lose by making the story up for cash?
It's been established that he's not revealing any secrets, therefore he's not really breaking any laws (it's not strictly illegal to make up a story about UFOs or aliens, then sell it to the press).”
I am not talking about the public interview but when he revealed secrets to Congress. It was reported he backed up his story with extensive details and evidence to Congress down to precise names, companies, dates, locations and challenged them to look into the details. It was reported he handed over 100’s of documents many officially sighed along with recordings. It was also reported and confirmed officially that multiple current staff working in the UAP department collaborated his story. Plus the other whistle-blowers confirmed the same information. It was reported he spent a long time digging though the classified records and speaking to UAP staff to gather evidence before he submitted his case.
So not only did he give up his high end Intelligence job so he could do this which is a pretty major loss. If the classified data he handed to Congress is all BS made up as you say then he and all the other staff which you seem to want to ignore should end up in jail. Given he is making no money from this and is in fact losing money from given up his Intelligence job I don't see what his and the other whistle blowers motivates are for lying. Why would all the other UAP staff collaborate his story if there is not something to the story?
“True - he testified to congress with pure heresay evidence”
Since when was it heresay evidence only? So, you have seen the evidence he submitted? Do you think everyone is lying about what was submitted and all the reports he submitted documents and recordings are lies? What about all the other UAP staff backing up his story how do you explain them away? Why would they get involved, risks there jobs and risk jail time to collaborate his story?
“So in your 180 IQ world where a bunch of people are claiming the US government is reverse engineering alien flying saucers and recovering aliens from the wreckage, I'm apparently propagating a "fake narrative" simply because I think the story is extremely unlikely to be true?”
There you go with the silly insults again which only weaken your position. Your fake narrative is that it’s all the usual people, same names when it’s not. As I said before
“Yes external BSers and usually culprits are trying to tag themselves into this. But the actual whistle-blowers, leakers and the official complaint are not the usual suspects nor are they trying to make money from this.“ How do you explain that lots of current UAP staff have officially collaborated Davids story? Are you just going blank that out as it doesn’t fit your narrative?
As I said before without solid evidence its fine to think the story is extremely unlikely. I even said myself I think their real story is half way between the two sides of BS and Alien. Given the number of officials that have said there is an unauthorized Special Access Programme that is withholding classified information and concealing itself from Congress by being illegally off the books is something that needs to be looked into not dismissed, no matter how crazy it sounds.
If multiple officers inside the UAP department say and I paraphrase from the legal complaint
"Direct knowledge that certain IC elements have purposely and intentionally withhold and/or concealed classified information from US Congress. Direct knowledge that IC elements to purposely and intentionally thwart legitimate oversight e.c.t" that's and the rest of it are a pretty serious complaints that you don't just make up for fun and go down and submit via official channels for a BS story. If this complaint is based on a BS story it will be jail time. So there must be some truth to this story. Perhaps not Aliens but someone diverting money into an unauthorized Special Access Programme for some sort of new technology that is being mistaken for Aliens. You don't want to believe its Aliens that fine, I am not convinced either. But surly you agree we shouldn't just completely demise this and throw everything out the window as BS. This need to be seriously investigated to find out why so many whistle-blowers are coming out of the UAP department and military, surly you can agree on that?
