Pentagon’s UFO Office Under Kirkpatrick Was a Scam Designed to Maintain Secrecy
May 9th, 2024Imagine my shock.
But the whole thing might be a case of good cop bad cop, with Mellon playing the good cop and Kirkpatrick playing the bad cop:
The “bad cop” takes an aggressive, negative stance towards the subject, making blatant accusations, derogatory comments, threats, and in general creating antipathy with the subject. This sets the stage for the “good cop” to act sympathetically, appearing supportive and understanding, and in general showing sympathy for the subject. The good cop defends the subject from the bad cop. The subject may feel able to cooperate with the good cop, either out of trust or out of fear of the bad cop and may then seek protection by the good cop and provide the information the interrogators are seeking.
My advice to any genuine whistleblowers: Don’t trust Kirkpatrick or Mellon.
Via: The Hill:
Gillibrand noted that two knowledgeable individuals with whom she has met “refused to meet with” Kirkpatrick or his office. These whistleblowers’ hesitations may be well founded. In recent months, the Pentagon’s UFO office has lost much of its credibility following a series of flawed and deeply misleading reports.
Crucially, another set of newly released documents indicates that high-level current and former officials with apparent knowledge of illicit UFO programs refused to meet with Kirkpatrick.
In a June 2023 interview with NewsNation, Rubio made a series of startling UFO-related comments. According to Rubio, “smart, educated people with high clearances and very important positions in our government” have informed Congress of the existence of secret UFO programs.
As the documents reveal, Kirkpatrick was taken by surprise by Rubio’s comments. A Senate Intelligence Committee staffer subsequently informed Kirkpatrick that the senior officials described by Rubio were among those who refused to speak to his office.
As Christopher Mellon, the Department of Defense’s former top civilian intelligence official, notes, many UFO whistleblowers do not trust the Pentagon process, preferring to speak to Congress and the intelligence community’s internal watchdog instead.
This puts the Pentagon in a particularly awkward position. If the director of the UFO office was aware that high-level officials alleging the existence of unreported UFO programs refused to speak with him, how can he and his office credibly issue sweeping denials that such programs exist?
I’m not aware that any US govt official can refuse to speak to any other govt official, depending on agency and rank. Could be an attempt to make Kirkpatrick look bad so he’ll get the blame for something or leave. Could be in-fighting. Could be merely obfuscation and confusion to keep the public guessing. I think govt is really disappointed that there is so little public interest in its UFO tales.
