I share the opinion that it is psyop and it is a very long running project. At one level it is a nice psyop platform - like Star Trek for the psychological warfare professionals. Over the years they have influenced American thought about the government to a great degree. X-Files. For example, most Americans, and this “whistleblower” here, now accept that elements in the US government are operating entirely outside of the overview and control of the government, where the executive and legislature do not have “the clearance” to be informed about it.

Emotionally it is also slowly preparing humanity for the possibility of a confrontation with a power that we possibly can not resist and must obey. Aliens may turn out to have strong theological and sociological views that they want to share with us. This is more than just slowly boiling the constitutional frog in the cauldron of “national security”. Somewhat /g more far fetched but definitely one reason to have ex intelligence grandees from Mosad and CIA (and now this man) come and tell us all about aliens in our midst.

Unless there exists some really simple way to do FTL travel that we're soon to discover, any civilization advanced enough to visit Earth should be able to wipe us out as quickly as humanity can burn an anthill.

So, assuming members of such a civilization is actually here, they're likely to be friendly, and any psyop similar to what you describe would be staged for our benefit.

Using X-files or Star Trek as representations of what the future is likely to be like, is just as obviously improbable as using The Lord of The Rings to understand Medieval Europe.

Sorry, how long is this supposed to take? You're saying we're going to be dominated by aliens and must be prepared for that? That's not how conquests normally work is it? There's no consent involved. And you're also saying this 'preparation' has been happening for 70 years? How long have we got before they actually arrive and how much prep do we need?

This is all complete bollocks

There is no invasion as there are no aliens. It is psyop. A genre (“platform”) of psyop has been tried out over the years, and a developing thread (based on other propaganda channels, such as fiction, and film) is the coming ‘encounter’. Here “US is urged to reveal UFO evidence” is published by a major Western establishment press, The Guardian, based on 2nd hand information and not on actual personally witnessed evidence.

The issue of having “major world religions” that are not in accord (per orthodox understanding of respective faithful) remains an issue for establishment of a uniform social order on the planet. It’s going to be difficult to have a world government without a unified world religion. “Aliens” can help with that.

As a thought exercise, imagine aliens have landed. Aliens could inform us that for example ‘angels’ were really the aliens and that we sadly misunderstood their messages. Various syncretic efforts have also been ongoing since at least 19th century (“new age”) so the ground has been well prepared. To conclude the exercise, ask yourself what impact this will have on your belief system.

"Conspiracy theories are ok when it's us discarding UFOs" :o)

This is my thinking as well. Though the entire Admiral Byrd, Antarctica, supposed Nazi tech and Operation Paperclip, Werner von Braun founding NASA lends some credibility to the idea that there might be a weirder angle the tech aspect at least. Combine "alien tech" with a tumbling empire and this would get ugly.

Not a believer myself, but it was an interesting deep dive.
