Trump Administration Shutting Down JASON Advisory Group
August 17th, 2019Despite relatively prosaic disclosures about the JASON group’s activities, most of their work is classified. I’ve always wondered if the main, and unspoken, purpose of the JASON group was related to the UFO situation. After World War 2, the U.S. government was definitely struggling to understand the nature of UFOs; their flight characteristics and their fascination with military (specifically nuclear weapons related) installations. My guess is that JASON was tasked with looking into this in some capacity. UFOs were such an inscrutable enigma that whoever was in charge of trying to understand the issue might have come up with the idea of drawing top scientific personnel from around the black world to consider it.
UFOs or not, it would be very interesting to know what the actual motivation is for closing JASON down. The Reuters piece below offers some explanations, cost cutting and personal axes to grind, but given the decades long links of the JASON group to the black world, these seem laughable.

They’re members of a prestigious academic panel with top-secret clearances who’ve advised the Pentagon on some of America’s most vexing national security issues since the Cold War. Over 60 years, they’ve won 11 Nobel prizes and conducted hundreds of government studies.
The advisory group, known as Jason, is a team of some 60 of America’s top physicists and scientists who spend each summer in La Jolla, California, conducting studies commissioned by the Pentagon and other U.S. government agencies.
On March 28, Trump appointee Michael Griffin – the Pentagon’s chief technology officer – unexpectedly moved to terminate the group.
