TIME: Trump Says Government Will Declassify Alien Files

[Montauk]

I don't know if this has been talked about in another thread but I thought it would be good to make one just in case there isn't.

I guess in response to Obama's problematic comment on UFO's on Brian Taylor Cohen's podcast, Trump announced Thursday night that he will order the public disclosure of government records related to extraterrestrial life.

Time published an article about it this morning which I will summarize the most important bits.

From TruthSocial on Thursday:

Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War, and other relevant Departments and Agencies, to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and any and all other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

And earlier that day, Trump answered a question from Fox News reporter Peter Doocy about Obama's comment and if Trump had seen any evidence of such things. Trump said that "[Obama] gave classified information. He's not supposed to be doing that."

Doocy then queried "So aliens are real?" to which Trump replied, "Well I don't know if they're real or not."

Doocy then suggested that Trump could declassify anything he wants , to which Trump smirked, "I may get him out of trouble if I declassify," seemingly still referring to Obama.

Interestingly, commentators such as Republican congressman Thomas Massie, have suggested that Trump's declassification order is meant to draw attention away from the Epstein files.

Massie posted on X:

They've deployed the ultimate weapon of mass distraction, but the Epstein files aren't going away…even for aliens.

AARO is doing their job on that front what does trump think all these uap hearings were for? This is all just a distraction from the epstien files why wont he declassify them? Right.

This is no less than the fourth set of super secret files he promised to release in their full unredacted glory and so far we got a tiny fraction of one and only after it got several boxes of sharpies emptied on it.

I find interesting -- and would like to know precisely why -- many people (if not most of the commenters about this issue) don't address/reference John Greenewald Jr.'s X (twitter) message to the Secretary of War about the tons of highly classified UFO records withheld from the American people to this day. Oh well...

"Precisely why", in my case, is that since I don't use X I never heard this before. You bring it up, which is fine if it interests you, but seem to be upset that nobody else did it first.

The only proof I've seen from him is that he keeps submitting FOIA requests and getting nothing back. It doesn't prove anything has been withheld, only that he hasn't found anything.

Lying is in fact protected first amendment activity.

I don't know if the recent little disclosure initiative with Lara Trump was a trial balloon on this matter or independent of it. But is it conceivable that they managed to foist it upon him as something to champion?

I mentioned this as a side note on how the US UFO industry leverages its tangled web of connections to push its agenda right up to the top levels of politics. But seriously: the case is crystal clear. The President desperately needs new populations to rip off with tariffs. He's running out of countries on Earth he can hit

I can't even sleep at night because of that ha ha!

Regarding your opinion here I don't know whether he has or hasn't "found anything". Maybe @Mick West, who's retrospectively held quite a few discussions with John on X, can clarify my doubt.

Please note that "identify and release" does not mean "declassify". If e.g. AARO was forced to release its case files, they'd be heavily redacted before release, I hope.

Didn't we get the JFK files?
