The House Oversight Committee will hold a top secret closed
door hearing on
UFO's this week. The Intel Community Inspector General is expected
to brief lawmakers on the alleged UFO Crash Retrieval Program
that whistleblowers claim is used to hide evidence of recovered
beings and UFO related deaths.
Merrick von Rennenkopf is a ex Defense Department official and
he joins me now.
Merrick, thanks for being here.
Look, do you expect these lawmakers to learn anything new,
anything ground breaking in this hearing?
Good morning. And that's the $1,000,000 question,
frankly. And I would temper my expectations at this point.
This is the oversight committee
and this gets into some congressional nuance here,
but the intelligence committees actually have jurisdiction here and they
can get pretty territorial.
So I wouldn't hold my breath about this particular briefing,
but the broader picture is truly extraordinary.
I'd love to talk about that a little more.
Let's get into it. Even if there is ground breaking
testimony,
which you said there probably won't be,
this briefing is classified. So the
$64,000 question for me, a common person,
is when does the public find out the truth of
what the heck is out there?
That again is the $2 million question.
And the short answer is
more whistleblowers could come forward.
And that's what some individuals who are intimately familiar with
this
story in the saga have called catastrophic disclosure.
And that is a concept whereby
explosive information about this alleged UFO retrieval
and reverse engineering program comes out
Willy nilly and there's no control over that message.
And and there was legislation sponsored by Senator Chuck Schumer,
None other than the Senate Majority Leader
Co sponsored by Senator Mike Rounds Republican of South Dakota,
with several notable Co sponsors
who actually in this legislation set up a a framework
whereby the information that the government has and is withheld
on UFOs would gradually be released to the public in
a in a very judicious manner.
Unfortunately, that legislation was killed by the House
and that's a very interesting story.
But the short answer is we could have more leaks.
I think it's fairly unlikely at this point that the
Biden administration will
go, you know, open kimono on these alleged programs.
But that is another possibility.
And then the third possibility is that Congress
really gets serious about asserting its authority and and pry
some of these these records that they claim and they
allege
exist and pry those loose.
The interest in this is bipartisan,
like you mentioned. So who does not want this information
out there and why
so there if these programs are in fact,
if they they do exist,
these alleged legal UFO retrieval and reverse engineering programs do
exist.
They have been operating illegally.
So anybody who is part of an illegal program that
was not reported to Congress as required
by the law has
no incentive to really come forward.
And the the discussion Senator Ruby has mentioned this that
that some of these whistleblowers have said that they are
potentially under
the threat or the penalty of of death or serious
imprisonment if they talk about this.
So you have many incentives not to come forward and
and something
significant will have to give like another whistleblower or congressional
legislation for for this information to come out.
I feel like we beat around the Bush on this.
We want answers. They're not giving it to us.
That tells me something. Merrick von Rennkoff,
thanks for your time. Stay on top of it because
we do need those answers.
Thank you, Sir.
