End Game: The Pentagon Establishes Path To Disaster Following Release Of UFO Report

Written by Christopher Sharp - 10 March 2024

“And after a thorough review, the Central Intelligence Agency has found no verifiable evidence of any alleged illegal human experiments program undertaken by the agency.”

In an alternate universe where the CIA was asked to investigate itself following allegations relating to the MKULTRA program, history may have played out differently. 

Crimes were only uncovered through the courageous efforts of investigative journalists and democratic representatives.

The courage of a few good representatives remains strong today.

But sadly, the same cannot be said for journalism.

How The Media Advanced The Pentagon’s UAP Narrative With Zero Scrutiny

These days, publications like the New York Times are more inclined to do the CIA’s bidding in exchange for access, rather than independently scrutinizing the powerful.

True investigative journalism in old media is dead.

On 6 March 2024, hand-picked friendly journalists sold their souls to the Department of Defense (DoD) by participating in a secretive press briefing and agreeing to a restrictive embargo.

The excessive secrecy and coordination were reminiscent of a military operation. 

The reason? Because the DoD claims it has conducted a ‘thorough’ investigation into allegations of illegal activities concerning Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). 

The outcome? The DoD, as detailed in a new report, cleared itself and the intelligence community of any wrongdoing or cover-ups.

Journalists from renowned publications such as the New York Times and the Washington Post, known for their history of exposing scandals like MKULTRA and the Pentagon Papers, eagerly broadcasted the DoD’s propaganda, a departure from their traditional role of holding the powerful to account.

For them, the DoD, is seen as an authoritative, perhaps trustworthy source.

  • The same DoD which misled Congress about U.S. bases in Africa 

  • The same DoD which misled the American public and allies over the case for the Iraqi invasion 

  • The same DoD which misled Congress on the topic of military sex assaults

  • The same DoD which has failed six audits in a row.

When it comes to UAP, military witnesses have spoken out about unknown craft with unexplainable characteristics, representative of breakthrough technologies.

Highly cleared whistleblowers with nothing to gain have sacrificed their careers to expose illegal programs which involve retrieval and reverse engineering of non-human materials and biologics.

Allegations from former senior intelligence official David Grusch were deemed credible and urgent by the Intelligence Community’s Inspector General (ICIG). 

Despite the DoD’s questionable track record and the credibility of the allegations and witness accounts, mainstream journalists threw whistleblowers and witnesses under the bus.

Instead, journalists blindly followed the DoD’s narrative.

Because of the strict embargo imposed on journalists regarding the briefing and report, UAP advocates and whistleblowers were deprived of the opportunity to respond. Publications hurriedly released the DoD's conclusions once the embargo was lifted.

Journalists who were not initially invited to Wednesday's briefing with Tim Phillips, the acting director of the DoD’s UAP office, also known as the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), were later granted the chance to preview the report before its release. 

Liberation Times opted not to engage with the DoD on ethical grounds.

The AARO has always committed to conducting its work with transparency - it was a key pillar for its creation. However, its choice to issue a report that exonerates the DoD through overly controlling press tactics starkly contradicts any ideals of transparency or balance.

That’s no surprise though.

Transparency takes a backseat when it comes to serving the DoD’s best interests, particularly in cases involving potential illegal activities.

The AARO’s Flawed Investigation

The investigative approach adopted by the AARO entailed questioning individuals suspected of involvement in unauthorized activities, particularly relating to the recovery and reverse engineering of non-human materials.

The AARO accepted these individuals' denials at face value. 

It should be noted that such individuals were requested to sign memorandums for the record attesting to the truthfulness of their statements (which cannot be viewed for scrutiny), contrasted with Dave Grusch’s public testimony under oath.

Unfairly, the words of the suspects were given greater weight than the whistleblowers, whose allegations corroborate those of Dave Grusch.

Former senior intelligence officer, David Grusch

At the press briefing, Phillips said the AARO was never denied access to any facility, but the question has always been, did they even attempt to look in every facility?

The DoD had no incentive to implicate itself and conveniently found the answers it sought.

Also, at the press briefing,  Phillips could not confirm whether the AARO had resolved any UAP cases with “transmedium” or shape-shifting objects, or breakthrough technologies generated by the U.S., China or Russia.

He told reporters: “As far as other advanced technologies — there’s been some cases, but we can’t discuss that here.” 

That contradicts a previous line from the AARO’s spokesperson Susan Gough, who has worked for the DoD for over 15 years. As reported in November 2023, Gough told Liberation Times that a transmedium case had been resolved:

“Previously reported transmedium object has been resolved and the case details are being prepared for public release in the near future.”

Liberation Times understands from sources that the report authored by the AARO's former Director, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, who now serves as its official consultant, may have underwent revision to remove emotionally charged language from its initial draft.

Notably, the report referenced the late Senator Harry Reid as being a representative for New Mexico. This was one of many basic errors contained in the report, found credible by publications such as the New York Times and Washington Post.

Moreover, the report failed to address one of the most compelling publicly known UAP cases, such as the 2004 encounter involving naval aviators from the USS Nimitz and a tic-tac-shaped craft.

Similarly, it overlooked several other significant cases, including ongoing sightings along the U.S. east coast such as the GOFAST and GIMBAL objects, which were captured on video by naval aviators.

The errors and omissions signal the subpar efforts led by Dr. Kirkpatrick during his tenure as the AARO’s director.

And there is reason to believe that even more incredible and unexplained videos showing UAP are being hidden from the public.

As one intelligence source told the Daily Mail in 2022:

“There are shitloads of classified videos that are pretty profound and pretty clear.

“They don't want to talk about this stuff, because they really, really don't know what the hell they are. That's the truth.”

In essence, the DoD seeks to dismiss everything. It aims to brush aside any illegalities that would implicate it in enormous crimes and obscure the presence of highly advanced crafts in our atmosphere, which are both unsettling and defy conventional explanations.

The Damage

The damage has now been done.

The impact of the DoD’s military-style media operation has been considerable, garnering global attention and making headlines in mainstream media.

Yet, the true toll transcends the mere dismissal of witnesses and whistleblowers, instead casting a profound shadow over the very pillars of the AARO and the DoD.

This is a historic report. No doubt. It is a historical report, which will be remembered for misleading the press and the public. This was information warfare conducted on the public.

Another factor ignored by the report was an allegation made by Dr. James Lacatski, who led the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program.

Lacatski co-authored a book, ‘Inside the U.S. Government Covert UFO Program: Initial Revelations’, describing an alleged exotic craft of ‘unknown origin’ which the U.S. government was able to access.

‘This craft had a streamlined configuration suitable for aerodynamic flight but no intakes, exhaust, wings, or control surfaces.

‘In fact, it appeared not to have an engine, fuel tanks, or fuel. Lacatski asked: What was the purpose of this craft? Was it a life-support craft useful only for atmospheric reentry or what? If it was a spacecraft, then how did it operate?’

The key phrase used by Lacatski was ‘unknown origin’ - a key term stripped of any meaning and effectiveness from the gutted UAP Disclosure Act (UAPDA), proposed by Senate leader Chuck Schumer. 

Unlike the AARO, the UAPDA specified that legacy UAP programs included those which collected, exploited and reverse-engineered technologies of ‘unknown origin’.

The definition for ‘technologies of unknown origin’ contained within the UAPDA was as follows:

‘Any materials or meta-materials, ejecta, crash de bris, mechanisms, machinery, equipment, assemblies or sub-assemblies, engineering models or processes, damaged or intact aerospace vehicles, and damaged or intact ocean-surface and undersea craft associated with unidentified anomalous phenomena or incorporating science and technology that lacks prosaic attribution or known means of human manufacture.’

Something not cited in the AARO’s investigations or testimony given by those suspected to be involved in such programs was whether any technologies of unknown materials existed.

The ignorance of this term may come back to bite the AARO and DoD.

There are further revelations, poised to embarrass the DoD and undercut the credibility of the AARO's report.

These may surface in the ensuing months from first-hand witnesses who chose not to engage with the AARO. 

A crucial question to ponder is the response of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).

Stacey Dixon, the Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence, oversees the AARO alongside Kathleen Hicks, the Deputy Secretary of Defense.

The Intelligence Community’s own Inspector General has found the allegations of illegal UAP programs made by David Grusch to be both urgent and credible.

This puts the ODNI in an uncomfortable position.

Following a recent meeting with the Inspector General, an entity possessing considerably greater authority, resources, and investigative prowess than the AARO, Representative Moskowitz disclosed on X:

‘Based on what we heard many of Grusch[’s[ claims have merit!’

It should be noted that UAP reports have traditionally been published on the ODNI’s website. However, this particular historical report can only be located on the AARO and DoD websites.

This story isn't over yet.

This was the DoD’s big move.

Now it is time for the counter-offensive, whether the DoD and its friends in the media like it or not. 

The UAPDA may be revived once more to spearhead a fresh investigation into UAP, operating independently from the DoD and other potentially compromised entities.
