There are quite a lot of folks that are parroting this view; the view that words don’t mean anything, that there’s still no evidence and this is all a farce. “Words have no weight, only evidence does.” (I just saw something along the lines of that comment.)
This is some truly HEAVY cognitive dissonance. Let’s dissect it, and you’ll understand why.
The dismissal of authoritative statements as “just words” overlooks the significance of testimony presented by credible individuals and official processes. Here’s why those kinds of responses reveals heavy cognitive dissonance:
Credibility of Sources: Statements from high-ranking officials like Colonel Karl E. Nell, who have extensive military and intelligence experience, do indeed carry substantial weight due to their credibility and expertise. That is to say: ignoring their words without considering their context is inconsistent with valuing informed opinions and evidence.
Official Investigations: The claims made by individuals like David Grusch have been categorized as “urgent and credible” by the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG). This categorization is not given lightly and indicates a rigorous review process. Dismissing these findings outright contradicts the established importance of such governmental oversight mechanisms. These are not words, they are actions.
Congressional Actions: The formation of the UAP caucus, bipartisan legislation, and Senate Intel Committee investigations demonstrate a significant level of governmental concern and action. Again, these steps are not mere “words” as some suggest, but involve legal and procedural measures aimed at increasing transparency and accountability.
Public and Legal Acknowledgment: The acknowledgment of non-human intelligence and UAP technologies in official legislative language and public statements from senators and representatives is unprecedented. This level of acknowledgment from various branches of government signifies more than speculative discourse; it reflects a collective move towards addressing and understanding these phenomena.
Words from credible sources and official statements play a crucial role in shaping public understanding and policy. Dismissing them without due consideration undermines the value of informed discourse and the efforts made by experts and officials to bring transparency to this complex issue.
We have many highly decorated, and very intelligent people who are in the know, telling everyone that this is real.
It’s almost like people don’t accept that for what it is.
All these people are coming forward saying the same thing. Not because they are hearing things from others, but rather, because they are involved in programs and careers that put them in that position to know. Does that mean that these people who are in the know own the UFOs and materials they are claiming to be real? No, so then, if they do not own it, and do not have the freedom to fly them around and take photos, then they cannot provide the evidence that everyone seems to think is so easy to get.
You’re right. Knowing does not equal evidence, but they can still tell us about it.
Which is what they are doing. They can only tell us. These supposed black programs, which run outside the scope of government oversight, they are the ones who can show us. But they need a big fat light shining on them first, which is what these decorated and highly skilled people in the know are trying to do.
Whether people want to believe without the evidence first… that’s up to them.
TL;DR, there are a whole lot more than just words floating around. These words are resulting in real action and consequence. We will get nowhere without these very important words, first.
