MSM Wastes No Time Using Senate UFO Report To Promote Arms Race

.@nytimes has published an article on the contents of the hotly anticipated US government report on UFOs, as per usual based on statements of anonymous officials, and as per usual promoting narratives that are convenient for imperialists and war profiteers

Oh well if the US government has ruled out secret US government weaponry programs, hot damn that's good enough for me. Great journalism you guys.

"One senior official briefed on the intelligence said without hesitation that U.S. officials knew it was not American technology. He said there was worry among intelligence and military officials that China or Russia could be experimenting with hypersonic technology."

This would be the same New York Times that has consistently supported all of the US military's devastating acts of mass murder around the world, by the way.

We're going to hear more of this. MSM has already been priming us for it; Republican Rachel Maddow aka Tucker Carlson has been shrilly pushing this narrative for weeks now.

In another segment Carlson had on military intel veteran Luis Elizondo, a main figure in the new UFO narrative which kicked off in 2017, claiming the report will reveal "an intelligence failure on the part of the US intel community on the level of 9/11."

"If there's a foreign adversary that can put a nuclear warhead within moments over Washington DC, okay, that's a problem," Elizondo told Carlson's Fox News audience.

All this over some completely unverifiable testimony, and a few videos being confirmed by the Pentagon which can all be explained by easily identifiable mundane phenomena.

I won't be at all surprised if we begin seeing this arms race angle become the dominant aspect of this UFO story. It would certainly fit the pattern of promoting unverifiable allegations about foreign governments to justify further cold war escalations.

In the early sixties JFK falsely promoted the "missile gap" narrative, telling the public that the Soviet Union had surpassed the United States in nuclear weapons when he knew full well the US nuclear arsenal had always far surpassed the USSR's.

Kennedy used this hawkish narrative to win an election and advance the largest peacetime expansion of US military power ever, leading directly to the events which gave rise to the Cuban Missile Crisis which came EXTREMELY close to ending the world.

Reject the propagandists and cold warriors, no matter how elaborate or bizarre their manipulations become. Keep an eye on these bastards, and help spread awareness of what they're about.

CNN joins NYT pushing the "concern" that the UFOs are actually Chinese and Russian aircraft which have technologically leapfrogged the US. We've got a UFO gap, folks!

The Washington Post's own report pushes the same narrative:
