TST 6/6/23 - UFO Carrot and Stick

The supposedly revelatory accounts from whistleblower David Grusch have put the UFO-universe into a frenzy this week. Grusch claims the U.S. has retrieved craft of non-human origin, along with bodies. But there a lot of problems with his story: (1) he says the proof is classified despite being given the approval to make the claims; (2) his stories are second or third hand from other officials or from documents he has seen but doesn’t have or cannot show for national security reasons; (3) he outright claims the U.S. government has been engaged in a sophisticated disinformation campaign, which is exactly what his story sounds like; (4) his accounts are supported by known liars as much as they are by ‘credible’ intelligence officials, even though being credible doesn’t mean you are telling the truth; (5) Leslie Kean, who wrote about AATIP, also wrote the big bombshell report without seeing any evidence of the man’s claims, just as NewsNation reported exclusively on the subject without ever seeing proof. The Whole story is playbook: make a claim without evidence, but use associations or implications to suggest it is credible; sell the story to as many people who will buy it; continue to provide no proof or claim it is coming; eventually ditch the story and make up something else, usually passing the story onto another unknown person who hasn’t been discredited. This is a UFO carrot and stick, keeping us running toward the sensationalism and away from what is going on behind us.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.
