YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Hal Puthoff tells a story the host has heard him tell at least four times. In the early 2000s he was called into a panel in Washington. Intelligence agencies. Military officials. They were told the US, Russia, and China all had evidence of non-human intelligence technologies and the panel needed to decide whether to tell the public. They made a list of sixty items that would be affected. The stock market. Religion. Corporate lawsuits between companies that received recovered materials and companies that did not. They assigned scores to every item. Every single one came back negative. The panel voted no. Disclosure was killed in a room by a focus group. Then someone asks Puthoff how much of the reality he has been able to share publicly. Very little of it. Then he says he worries about going to jail. The host is not buying it.
