The United States government also took accusations of satanic sex cults in the US very seriously, funding protection programs, conferences, and research. Turns out that was all the product of flawed investigation, but representatives knew their constituents were concerned and wanted to be seen doing something (or at least wanted to avoid accusations of doing nothing).

I believe a similar explanation could apply here.

Do you have a source on that? Did very highly credentialed and trusted intelligence officers come out and testify under oath that there were satanic sex cults?

There is a big difference here. Grusch has given specific locations and names of people that congress can subpoena. Marco Rubio has confirmed that other highly credentialed whistleblowers with first hand knowledge are confirming Grusch’s claims. I believe we will know soon enough whether this is real or not.

In the case of the satanic panic, people (including well-credentialed physiologists, sociologists, and criminal investigators) also testified under oath that the abuses had occurred. People also testified and made specific accusations before congress.

And Rubio has said (intentionally or not) very demonstrably false things in the past. I wouldn’t trust him to always be accurate.

You haven’t provided a source for any of this.

Let’s just look at the facts here. Grusch has given congressmen locations of where these alleged craft are held, program names that the SAPs are hiding under, and names of people involved. Congress could very easily get to the bottom of this by appointing a special envoy with a full top secret SCI clearance to go investigate these locations, and they could subpoena the people that Grusch has pointed out who are involved with the programs. This could be resolved in a week if they would just do that, so why not let them investigate this really quickly?
