“The political angle would be to keep us frightened and enabling the big government agencies with all the power they need to “protect us” from this “threat.””
I agree with your analysis.
That is their default approach—create a narrative—push the narrative—increase their power.
In this case compartmentalization has created a situation where I don’t think most government officials have a clue what is going on...some know some pieces but for “national security” reasons they can’t even share those pieces with other government officials.
It gets to be comedy after a while as they to figure out who is allowed in the room for “this meeting” and who needs to be removed for “the next meeting”.
I am reading one book on this topic where the author mocks government officials as he explains if they read his book and then talk about it to each other they could probably be indicted for violating their security oaths—even though his sources for the information were “alien” and not government at all.
Any “civilian” seriously interested in this topic knows far more than any government official who relies solely on official “credible” “legitimate” sources.
