Great points, and all very well said.
I don't mean this as an "I told you so" challenge, but I'm genuinely curious what the resident skeptics here think happened with the bill this week? Because basically the entire thing was just gutted, on the one-yard line. If passed, it may or may not have eventually lead to disclosure (unfortunately, it was almost assuredly never going to be *that* easy), but it was still utterly unprecedented in its goals and language, to the point where a group clearly wanted it dead and buried... and then got their wish. What else would motivate such a group to take such action, if they didn't feel threatened, and didn't have anything to hide? If there's no there there, why go to such trouble to obfuscate, block, and kill it? I'm legitimately asking, because, again, I'm genuinely curious what other reasons there could be, other than the blatantly obvious?
In my opinion, it's the simplest most obvious answer. The government and/or affiliated private businesses are testing high tech craft and objects. That's always been the most obvious answer to me. Just because some F-18 pilot doesn't recognize it doesn't mean anything, it's not like everyone in the military is in the loop. And no, I don't pretend to absolutely know this. But unless and until there's something disclosed that's really profound that's the most reasonable explanation. It's just the way government works (or doesn't work, to be more accurate). If after 60 years with everyone involved being dead we still can't have access to JFK files then this shouldn't be any surprise.
