Democrat Senate Leader Chuck Schumer added the UAP amendment to the NDAA. And, Democrat Congressman Jared Moskowitz is one of the main three in Congress pursuing UAP disclosure alongside Republicans Anna Paulina Luna and Tim Burchett. It's a bipartisan issue. I don't think an individual's political stances should discredit every statement they make, especially when it's a non-partisan issue.
It really amazes me how many users come to this community just to try to talk down to people, and that they are upvoted despite pushing verifiably false information.
I say this as a Democrat, but it seems like it's mostly the left bandwagon dismissing this information. They treat it like some anti-vaxxer propoganda, and reject the evidence without honestly evaluating it.
It's so hilariously hypocritical to come in here blasting people for misinformation when all they're doing is parroting talking points without verifying the info, just like the trump supports they ridicule for doing the same thing.
Schumer's propensity for publicity is the subject of a running joke among many commentators. He has been called an "incorrigible publicity hound".[39] Bob Dole once quipped, "the most dangerous place in Washington is between Charles Schumer and a television camera";[40] Barack Obama joked that Schumer brought the press to a banquet as his "loved ones".[41][42][43][44] Schumer often schedules media appearances on Sundays. Some have cited his use of media as a successful way to raise a politician's profile nationally and among his constituents.[45] Schumer has appeared on The Daily Show seven times.[46]
You are absolutely incorrect in trying to frame the UAP issue as a partisan distraction. You're just as guilty as the Republicans misinforming people (but maybe not as harmful..).
Here's an excerpt from a post of mine:
I want to point out just how unanimous the bipartisan support is on this subject among our House and Senate. Tim Burchett complimented Chuck Schumer for spear-heading groundbreaking whistle-blower protections and legislation aimed at forcing the government to declassify documents, footage and information pertaining to UAP. [28] The bill centers on reestablishing government oversight and forcing the disclosure of past, present, and future UAP information and data.
AOC made a series of social media posts on the topic of the Congressional Oversight Committee’s hearing on UAP whistle-blowers, in which she is a member. In it, she states her skepticism of aliens but defends the validity of the existence of UAP in the sense of unidentified objects under intelligent control, as demonstrated by the Nimitz footage/witnesses. AOC voices her concerns and suspicion of private defense contractors’ potential roles in the UAP incidents we are witnessing, citing past instances of unethical and unaccountable spending/programs. AOC points out that of the $800 billion for the Defense Budget (not entire military spending, mind you), 50% of it goes to private contractors, like Boeing and Lockheed Martin. She then goes on to point out that the Pentagon has not passed a single audit. [29]
AOC states in the video: “So do I think something is going on? Yes. There were specific defense contractors named. There were programs that were being abused that were named. And do I think that there are grounds to pull on that thread further? Yes, I do. And I think that it should be pulled further. Do I know what it is? No. Am I gonna be a hater? No. But I’m always into corruption and cover-ups. Like, that’s my thing. Other people are more specialized in the other parts.” [29]
Here are some bipartisan direct quotes from Sen. Chuck Schumer’s website:
“For decades, many Americans have been fascinated by objects mysterious and unexplained and it’s long past time they get some answers,” said Leader Schumer. “The American public has a right to learn about technologies of unknown origins, non-human intelligence, and unexplainable phenomena. We are not only working to declassify what the government has previously learned about these phenomena but to create a pipeline for future research to be made public. I am honored to carry on the legacy of my mentor and dear friend, Harry Reid and fight for the transparency that the public has long demanded surround these unexplained phenomena.” [30]
“There is a lot we still don’t know about these UAPs and that is a big problem,” said Vice Chairman Rubio. “We’ve taken some important steps over the last few years to increase transparency and reduce stigmas, but more needs to be done. This is yet another step in that direction, and one that I hope will spur further cooperation from the executive branch.” [30]
“The American people deserve transparency on all issues related to UAPs. Our bipartisan effort will protect and better organize government materials related to UAPs and promote disclosure of this information,” said Senator Young. [30]
“The American people deserve transparency. And the federal government needs to be able to explain what is happening in our skies,” said Senator Heinrich. “This legislation will devote real resources and take a unified approach to gathering data to fully understand UAPs and better address their national security implications.” [30]
If you want to educate yourself on what's actually going on instead of just repeating false talking points like the Republicans you condemn, you should consider reading my post.
I second this recommendation. If one can read through your well documented post and come to the same conclusion they had before, I'd be willing to hear it.
I'm not saying "aliens" are behind UAP, but why would it be crazy to think they were? What explanation would you attribute to the unresolved cases on AAROs website?
