DISCLOSURE PROCESS SERIES
Hello, thanks for reading.
This is part 23 of 23 in a post series I’ve continued to add on to and update. These are my own thoughts on things, accompanied with sourced links and other supporting info. Please feel free to offer any thoughts, questions, or challenges on any of the posts
PURPOSE OF THIS POST
Thanks to u/TommyShelbyPFB‘s post, I saw that CNN is calling out Mike Turner for blocking UFO disclosure. That’s good. They have a lot of ground to make up for. Elements of the media have clearly been complicit in the coverup of this topic over the years. They need to begin destigmatizing and speaking openly about this as soon as possible. Maybe they should talk about the UAP whistleblower hearings that the Senate Intel Committee needs to hold.
Here’s to hoping they have him on for an interview and grill him.. I can hope and dream.
WHY IS CNN TALKING ABOUT MIKE TURNER NOW
It’s probably because he’s burned at this point. For the last couple years, congress has been having hearings, seeing videos, hearing about investigations, and more. It’s clear to everyone that Mike Turner is controlled opposition. It’s probably because he’s been way too sloppy with the money. I’ve posted this before, but I figured I’d post again because I just find all the timing of things to be really awesome.
WHAT SHOULD CNN FOCUS ON NEXT ABOUT MIKE TURNER
I think CNN should report on Mike Turner’s relationship with companies that receive funding from contracts he’s personally fought to secure. Like companies that may have benefitted from his successful pursuit to secure $182 Million for NASIC new office at Wright Patterson in 2018. Even Mellon drew attention to funding mechanisms in 2016 as mentioned below.
RADIANCE AND MIKE TURNER KNOW EACH OTHER REALLY WELL
Mike Turner has an interesting relationship with Radiance Technologies. Radiance opened a new office in Wright Patterson in 2016. Companies like Radiance have grown quite a bit over the last couple of decades thanks to government contract dollars. Mike Turner is really good at bringing development to Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio. He secured $182 million to for the new National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC) building to be built at Wright Patterson in 2018. Awesome stuff! I wonder where the money is coming from for them to hire such expensive talent like the Skinwalker Ranch guys?
RADIANCE SECURES CONTRACTS FROM NASIC
ARTICLE 1 – OCT 27 2015
“An Alabama defense company is a step closer to growing its Dayton-area operations. Huntsville-based Radiance Technologies landed support Monday from the state of Ohio for an expansion at its Riverside operations. The investment in extra space and IT capacity is expected to lead to nearly 130 new jobs there that translate into $11.6 million in new annual payroll, according to the Ohio Tax Credit Authority.
As part of a tax credit agreement, Radiance would be required to maintain operations in Riverside for nine years. Radiance is one of three companies that was named last year to the $960 million, eight-year support contract for the National Air and Space Intelligence Center. NASIC is headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
Growth at Radiance is good for the company and its subcontractors as well as the city, which will be able to tout the expansion as it tries to attract other businesses. President and CEO Bill Bailey told me the expansion also will allow Radiance bring in work from other missions at Wright-Patt as well as jobs from other customers outside the region.
The project will be along the same lines as what was discussed earlier this year. In May, the county approved an economic development grant to Riverside towards a $1.2 million investment for Radiance to renovate and equip an 11,700-square-foot space at 5200 Springfield St. — one of the city-owned Wright Pointe office buildings. At that time, Radiance had about 70 employees.
It has since grown to 90 employees, Bailey said. Radiance has won more than $19 million in orders this year on the NASIC contract out of about $88 million in total orders issued, according to NASIC officials. Radiance is closing in on 500 employees at more than a dozen U.S. locations and two foreign countries. It reported sales of more than $100 million in 2013.”
ARTICLE 2 – OCT 31 2016
“Defense contractor Radiance Technologies celebrated its new home Monday — and celebrated strong growth along the way, from just one employee in late 2002 to 120 employees today. Most of that growth has happened in the past two years, said Bill Bailey, Radiance president and chief executive. In fact, by early next year, the Beavercreek office could be the Huntsville, Alabama-based company’s second-largest office by number of employees, Bailey said. The company has 11 offices nationally.
“We’re projecting over the next two to three years, up to 250 employees,” said Rita Hill, vice president of the company’s Technical Intelligence Group. “We’re looking forward to growing.”
The new office at 2685 Hibiscus Way has more than 19,000 square feet of space, Hill said. Radiance specializes in engineering support, technology development and intelligence services for the federal government. The company’s niche areas include cyber operations, Bailey said.
“So that’s fueling Dayton, that’s fueling a lot of our growth in the company,” he said. “It’s the right place at the right time, with the right qualifications and skill sets.”
An Air Force veteran who served at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base as a young officer, Bailey said he told leaders of Radiance before he joined the company that it needed a Dayton-area presence.
“I told them, ‘Look, Dayton is a fruitful market” he recalled.
That was a little more than 15 years ago.
“We’re happy to have a facility to support our Wright-Patterson Air Force Base customers in intel as well as the technology areas where Wright-Patterson specializes,” Hill said.
Guests at Monday’s ribbon cutting included representatives of the base, the Dayton Development Coalition, Wright State University and University of Dayton research institutes, as well as U.S. Rep. Mike Turner, R-Dayton.
“Our goal is to grow jobs both within the (base) fence and outside the fence,” Turner said at the opening ceremony. “And your dedication is part of growing the jobs on both sides.”
ARTICLE 3 – ALSO OCT 31 2016
“Radiance Technologies cut the ribbon on the office Monday morning, its new 17,000-square-foot home at 2685 Hibiscus Way in Beavercreek’s College Park office development. That site is the latest office for the growing defense group, which now has 120 employees in the Miami Valley. It invested nearly $1 million into the move.
The space offers new technology and specifically-designed areas for secret and sensitive information, company officials said. Radiance started in 1999 and has had a Dayton presence for more than 10 years. It does work with several Wright-Patterson Air Force Base organizations, including National Air and Space Intelligence Center and Air Force Research Laboratory.
“Dayton is one of the places that, when I first interviewed with Radiance, I told them we needed to be here,” President and CEO Bill Bailey said, adding the local community has strong support for the defense community. “I had to be sure that the company would make a commitment to the Dayton area.”
Huntsville, Ala.-based Radiance has more than 550 employees at more than a dozen U.S. locations and two foreign countries. It does work for the Department of Defense, NASA and national intelligence agencies. Radiance has been growing its presence in Dayton in recent years, boosted by a number of contracts at Wright-Patt. In 2014 it was named to the $960 million, eight-year support contract for the National Air and Space Intelligence Center.
“We do intelligence, production and analysis,” said Rita Hill, vice president, technical intelligence group, who is the local leader for the company. “We’re looking to expand our presence in Dayton not only with our existing customers but others in the defense community. … We’re just thrilled to help support our customers and ultimately support our war fighters.”
This new office is a move from the Wright Pointe office buildings in Riverside, but paves the way for the company to continue expanding its local employment, officials said.
Many of the company’s local employees work on-base and it will continue to hire more, though it doesn’t have an exact end goal in mind for its total headcount. County documents on incentives to support the company’s move indicate it could be up to 150 employees in coming years.
“I look forward to the continued growth of Radiance Technologies and its very strong presence in our community,” said U.S. Rep. Mike Turner, R-Dayton.”
I WONDER IF RADIANCE’S CONTRACTS WERE IRAD/IR&D BUCKS
Independent Research & Development (IR&D) is a technical research and development job that isn’t sponsored or required according to the government contract issued to a contractor. It consists of projects within (1) Basic Research and (2) Applied Research & Development, (3) Development, and (4) System and other concept formulation studies. Chris Mellon had something interesting to say earlier that year. IR&D violations were a hot topic in 2016.
“I find it hard to imagine something as explosive as recovered alien technology remaining under wraps for decades. So while I have no reason to believe there is any recovered alien technology, I will say this: If it were me, and I were trying to bury it deep, I’d take it outside government oversight entirely and place it in a compartment as a new entity within an existing defense company and manage it as what we call an “IR&D” or “Independent Research and Development Activity.”
IR&D FUNDING FOR THE AIR FORCE IS ALSO HANDLED OUT OF WRIGHT PATTERSON
The Air Force (AF) Independent Research and Development (IR&D) program is managed within the Plans & Programs Directorate, Headquarters Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. The AF IR&D program office, resident in AFRL/XPPD at WPAFB OH, manages the AF IR&D framework, with general oversight from the AFRL leadership, and the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Science, Technology & Engineering (SAF/AQR). Radiance Tech has received lots of love from the AFRL.
HOW CAN WE MAKE PROGRESS IN DISCLOSURE
We need the Senate Intelligence Committee to hold hearings for UAP whistleblowers.
Excerpt:
I know many are dejected by the recent news that the UAPDA has been “gutted” via NDAA Conference. Once Biden signs the NDAA into law, whatever legislation is attached to it will be final. I’ll wait until it’s finalized before I put anything together on the impact. I’ll explain below why it doesn’t make me feel “defeated” like many have voiced lately. I still think this will be a main discussion point in next year’s campaign.
Bassett has been discussing some points that I agree with. He’s even written out a whole thing for it. I agree that a focus for right now should be reaching out to the three Senators listed below. They are able to call hearings for the Senate Intelligence Committee to host whistleblower testimony. According to Bassett, there are dozens of whistleblowers ready for more hearings. The good news is that all three of the Senators are Pro-Disclosure Allies.
VOICE SUPPORT FOR UPADA AND REQUEST UAP SENATE INTEL HEARINGS
According to Bassett: “several dozens of witnesses like Grusch or even better waiting to testify”.
Bassett launched a targeted outreach plan for making positive movement here. He needs a new marketing team and web design, but I agree with the sentiment, and I think the call to action makes sense. It’s beneficial to continue to push for public hearings and discussion.
The goal is to deliver 100,000 tagged Tweets and 100,000 emails each to the offices of Senators Schumer, Warner and Rubio by January 1, 2024. The core message is appreciation for the UAP Disclosure Act and the imperative for UAP hearings in January before the Senate Intelligence Committee.
We need the Senate Intelligence Committee to hold UAP hearings. With the mounting public pressure and volume, I don’t think it’s possible to put the toothpaste back in the tube. Any resulting legislation is still a massive step forward, so it’s important that we don’t take this as a loss. I think it makes sense to focus on getting Senate Hearings scheduled so we can hear from more whistleblowers.
There’s enough info out there about companies like Radiance, the three Mikes, and other important pieces that I’m confident in saying they won’t be forgotten about if energy is focused on pursuing these hearings. It’s likely that this will take a couple election cycles to fix anyways. But posts like this will help solve the issue long-term.
