The government's real problem with UFOs

Many view the United States as having the most sophisticated and capable national defense and intelligence apparatus globally. In totality, this is arguably true. However, often not taken into account is that all of America's capabilities rarely, if ever, come together to achieve a unified objective. Instead, you have constant and bitter bureaucratic infighting, with agencies often distrusting each other and operating as their own fiefdoms.

Take, for example, Project GUNMAN.

In 1978, the NSA discovered a sophisticated radio transmitter inside a false chimney in the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. The NSA told the CIA and State Department that the device was most likely used by the Soviet Union to spy on classified U.S. diplomatic and intelligence communications. Thanks to interagency rivalries and mistrust, instead of acting on the threat, the CIA and State Department refused to believe the NSA. The State Department even went as far as issuing a cease and desist letter, telling the NSA to stop saying the Moscow Embassy was compromised.

It wasn't until 1984 and an executive order from President Ronald Reagan that the NSA was finally able to inspect the embassy's office equipment. As initially predicted, the NSA discovered the KGB had placed at least 16 covert listening devices in the embassy's IBM Selectric typewriters. To be clear, after the initial discovery of a hidden radio transmitter, the KGB was able to listen in on classified U.S. communications for an additional six years, resulting in a catastrophic counterintelligence failure and even the deaths of several CIA spies.

Given the prevailing taboos associated with UFOs, there is assuredly a wide range of conflicting views within the Pentagon and greater U.S. intelligence community on these reported sightings of mysterious aerial objects. Equally likely, these conflicting stances have caused bureaucratic battles that make GUNMAN look tame.

[ The government’s real problem with UFOs is that they haven’t figured out a way to tax them. ]

If they can tax they can control them.

They cannot control them, which leads people under control to say: “Maybe we shoudl be free like the aliens?”

And they cannot allow that to happen!

Some government "officials" and scientists have said that what is coming (re: this disclosure) will challenge ALL human, societal, and governmental institutions.

The point has been clarified to explain that challenge means that some (perhaps many) will be destroyed but some (probably a few) will endure.
