That is correct, and even perhaps more important, and perhaps this colors my thinking, but I am uniquely familiar with disinformation programs put forth by the CIA, or the agency as it's called by insiders, right? And I've learned firsthand about these programs, or rather learned from firsthand participants in strategic deception campaigns. that the CIA has engaged in, beginning with Area 51.

You know, the idea that all these reports of this U-2 spy plane, this giant long-winged aircraft flying 70,000 feet up, people didn't think airplanes could fly that high. And it's, you know, the sun shining off of it. It looked like a UFO and all the reports coming in.

And the CIA opened up a UFO disinformation campaign office headed by a guy named Toto Adorenko, you know, specifically for this reason. Now, does that mean that every UFO sighting in the world has been a U2? No. But I come from it from that lane of thinking. And there are so many strategic deception campaigns.

And as I look over the decades of how these same UFO stories, and again, this is just my opinion based on my reporting, this narrative that keeps reoccurring, it seems to me like a very large catch-all to keep the public's attention on that, not on that.

I mean, Google Paul Benowitz. I'm always amazed that Paul Benowitz's story is not more widely spoken of. And I think that's because people – there's like the sort of ufologists or the people who are like absolutely convinced that aliens are among us. And I use that term loosely, but you know what I mean. And then there's the quote-unquote skeptics.

And the skeptics tend to be sort of like self-righteous. And I would never want to be self-righteous. So I'm not a skeptic. I'm just – you know, agnostic, I suppose.

But Google Paul Benowitz, and you can learn the story of that man who thought he saw a UFO in the 70s, early 80s, and the Air Force, because the Air Force intelligence community works hand-in-glove with CIA a lot, and some of the other intelligence agencies. Of course, there's 17, not just the CIA. And they destroyed Paul Benowitz. They sent him to a mental institution by...

pulling a massive strategic deception campaign against him because they didn't want him to know about the technology that he was seeing at Kirkland Air Force Base. So look that up and then you go, oh my God. And, you know, to my eye, you can apply any of these other names, substitute in Paul Benowitz or any of the current individuals, you know, who really become convinced that
