I'd post a link to his "fireside chat" video..but its behind a paywall. Richard Dolan did provide a summary of what was said here:
Hi Everyone,
The main subject I have for you today is probably the David Grusch-AARO controversy, if that is the proper word to describe this. John Greenewald of the Black Vault has been prominent in highlighting this. On the Black Vault website, the case is presented that the AARO office made repeated and documented efforts from June 8, 2023, to January 8, 2024, to engage with Grusch about his claims of U.S. Government engagement with ET materials. This is supported by FOIA documents released to the Black Vault by DoD.
Furthermore, AARO (and, really, Greenewald) argued Grusch failed to cooperate with AARO, despite AARO extending multiple interview invitations directly and through associates, which Grusch declined or ignored, and even after addressing his concerns about handling classified information. There are also text exchanges between Christopher Mellon and AARO's Director, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, and a memorandum by Major General David Abba which apparently confirmed AARO's legal authority to handle UAP-related information, countering Grusch's security risk claims. Greenewald's attempts to contact Grusch were unsuccessful. To be fair, I will say that John has tried very hard to portray this information meticulously, and not to make this appear to be a personal thing.
That's the basic argument against Grusch in other words, the implication is that by stating the AARO office failed to contact him, he was (or appeared to be) telling an untruth a lie. And this by implication goes against his overall credibility. Or at least some various comments I have come across seem to imply.
My own position is that there is much I still feel I don't really know to make a determination here. It's obvious Grusch did not and does not trust the AARO office. He's not alone in that regard. Every person I have spoken to who has had some interaction with that office seems to feel that way. Essentially, that it's a DoD mouthpiece that isn't permitted to act in good faith as a genuine tool for UAP transparency. There is also the argument that AARO's claim to be authorized to handle Grusch's information may not be true. Grusch, after all, does have extremely high clearances and I was directly informed by some knowledgable folks not long ago that AARO did indeed lack the clearances that Grusch had, and which they needed to accept all of his information. After all, there may very well be instances in which a non-UAP related bit of intelligence that is very sensitive is connected to the UAP data that AARO says it's able to receive. Or, what if as Grusch has stated multiple times that the most sensitive UAP info is locked away in non-UAP related Special Access Programs (SAP) that are beyond the purview of AARO to begin with. AARO deals with federal government offices but does the office have full authority to delve into ALL of the labyrinth?
To me, without getting a formal statement from Grusch, I am very much inclined to hold back any judgement on this. And definitely inclined to give Grusch the benefit of the doubt, at least for now. That's my opinion on this, but by all means let me know what YOU think.
There are some other interesting tidbits I share in this video, and here are all the relevant links:
Article on Grusch and AARO in the
Black Vault.
Newsnation article essentially saying the same thing.
Grusch
statement on Instagram, where he says that his security concerns have still not been addressed.
Interesting reactions to Grusch and AARO on
Reddit.
Daily Mail
article on UFOs over Skinwalker. I couldn't get the video to work. Can you?
Interesting
opinion piece by Marik von Rennenkampf on the UAP lies of the Pentagon.
Weird MSN article on Kirkpatrick, allegedly stating he was gagged by the Pentagon. I couldn't see any evidence in the article for this. Am I missing something obvious?
Avi Loeb's
bizzarre statement about an ET Messiah leading humanity into the universe. What the hell?
Two tidbits from Instagram that Tracey sent my way:
A step closer to
controlled nuclear fusion?
A fancy-looking
underwater drone.
Finally, I did a little bit of follow-up chat on Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. It seems quite relevant to our world today, even after 93 years since he wrote it. I discuss some of those relevancies at the end of the video.

Lemme tack on this link I just came across..."whistleblowers"...part 1 Sounds like it should be interesting.
Vol 1 "Roswell, 1947, there was a uap (ufo) that crashed, in fact there were 2 uaps, 1 crashed and one flew away and the other one did not and was recovered by the US GOVERNMENT."

Are A&M's core values..optional? Who has the POWER to determine that? Are certain departments exempt? Why?
