Edward Snowden on UFO's

                               

The renegade secret agent Edward Snowden has made some more comments about UFO's. I think he deleted the Tweet, but from what I gather through commentary, it is very similar to ones he has made before; for example, this one from last year: "It's not aliens. I wish it were aliens, but it's not aliens. It's just the old engineered panic, an attractive nuisance ensuring natsec (national security) reporters get assigned to investigate balloon bullshit rather than budgets or bombings (à la Nord Stream) until next time." Source: https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/1625241477642088454. By "balloon bullshit", he's referring to "Objectgate", see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2023/06/objectgate-mini-portal.html. Of course, because Snowden is a former intelligence officer as well as an admired countercultural figure, we assume what he says has to be so; but it's not, it's just another pile of backslapper fodder. There is ample worldly drama around involving Ukraine and Taiwan etc. There is no need to invent fairy stories about UFO's to distract the defence press, in fact such phantasms might trigger the opposite reaction; as I have explained elsewhere, for example: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2020/06/bob-lazar-on-richplanet-virtual-tour.html. Chris Mellon put it very well: "I see Edward Snowden espousing the view that the US government is using an alien threat to justify increased defence spending. In fact, as anyone following the comments of Dr. Kirkpatrick lately, or any other administration at any time knows, the USG is doing precisely the opposite; as it always has, flatly denying there is any evidence at all of aliens. The issue has only become a topic of discussion because a couple of former insiders and Navy pilots engaged the press and Congress. Finally, given what is transpiring in Ukraine, the Middle East, and the Pacific, the USG doesn't need to invent bogus reasons to justify increased defence spending. Anyone who believes the USG is leveraging UAP to justify increased defence spending is plainly out of touch with the facts." Source: https://twitter.com/ChrisKMellon/status/1756521656439214426. Well said, sir! It's important to realize that just because Snowden was in the NSA does not make him an omniscient titan. He is a human being like the rest of us, and he works in a compartmentalized organization. It's like these fools who keep moaning about how "David Grusch has never handled an alien himself so he must be lying!" I hope more rational heads will back up Chris Mellon soon.
