THE PUPOSE OF THIS POST

There’s still a lot to do and it’s important to stay focused. Don’t get discouraged or scared, you are winning and almost to the finish line of making this happen. Continue to call and fight for the UAPDA. But more importantly, talk to everyone you know about this. Remember who has shown you they are NOT enemies of Disclosure.

I can’t know 100% for certain. But I’m confident in saying that I believe the politics and legislative battle you are watching right now is mostly for the public’s benefit as this stuff gets brought into the spotlight. If you’ve been following this topic for the last few months or longer, I don’t think you are the target audience. I think many have forgotten that American politics looks like two children fighting over the same toy while there’s another toy just like it is sitting next to them. You just need to get loud enough and remind them that they work for you. They will bicker and fight but I think they can figure it out.

THE SENATE PASSED THEIR VERSION OF THE NDAA ON JULY 27TH 2023

The Senate passed their version of the NDAA on July 27th 2023 with a vote of 86-11. The UAPDA (Schumer Amendment) was attached to the Senate’s version of the NDAA (75-25).

THE HOUSE OF REPS PASSED THEIR VERSION OF THE NDAA ON NOV 29TH 2023

The approved House version of the NDAA did not include the UAPDA. Burchett230710161047270.pdf?_gl=1u74b8t_gaNzcyNzI1Njc2LjE2OTU0NDE4NDc._ga_N4RTJ5D08B*MTcwMTMxNzkzNi4xLjAuMTcwMTMxNzkzNi4wLjAuMA..) came under a lot of fire for the amendment added to the House’s version of the NDAA. Gaetz said they need to replace the UAPDA with their proposal. But here’s the thing. It doesn’t matter what he says. It matters what they do. They have been trying to make this happen.

THE BURCHETT AMENDMENT

It says The Sec of Defense is required to declassify records relating to publicly known UAP cases within 180 days after the enactment of the Act. This declassification is subject to the condition that it does not compromise U.S. national security. This excludes any information that was publicly disclosed without authorization. The Sec of Defense is not required to declassify any information beyond what they are already authorized to declassify under existing executive orders, such as Executive Order 13526 or any successor order.

The amendment is an addition the HR 2670. At the end of Subtitle G of Title X. Making it a completely different Amendment, and not positioned as a “replacement to the UAPDA” legally. So, the UAPDA amendment was untouched and not included on the House NDAA.

THE UAPDA AMENDMENT

A lot more stuff. (65 pages, instead of 1) And it must pass with minimal changes.

NEXT STEPS: RECONCILIATION BY THE NDAA CONFERENCE COMMITTEE

It now makes a bit of sense to me if Mike Turner was telling the truth about them not calling him. They didn’t need to. They submitted the NDAA without the UAPDA in its entirety, making no suggested changes to it. The next step is for a Bi-Cameral NDAA Conference Committee to reconcile both the House and Senate version of the bill. The conferees are members from the House Armed Services Committees and some Ranking Members from other committees. The conference Is meant to reconcile both NDAAs into one big document using reps from across both sides of Congress to figure it out.

The Senate passed the UAPDA 75-25 in their NDAA, but the House didn’t have anything to say about it. They didn’t even suggest changes to the legislation itself. Gaetz said he thinks the Burchett amendment is better than the UAPDA. So what. They didn’t position the Burchett Amendment to challenge the UAPDA in ANY WAY legally.

The Conferees will get together and reconcile the NDAA. This is far from over, in a good way. Continue to advocate for the UAPDA, IAA AARO UAP Provisions, and you guessed it THE BURCHETT AMENDMENT. There’s no reason we can’t get the data for the Tic Tac earlier than next Christmas. He did introduce his amendment first, by the way.

I’ll provide a list of the Conferees below and continue to add links of their names highlighting allies of Disclosure. But first my speculative thoughts:

MY SPECULATIVE THOUGHTS ON WHERE IT ENDS UP

They’re going to strip the Eminent Domain; we know as much. Maybe they restrict the SAP FOIA rights. Burchett and the UAP Caucus gets a win on bringing forth the data on The Tic Tac, The Gimbal, and the other public cases at the start. And the UAPDA Review Board is rolling forward with their Controlled Disclosure Plan. I think something awesome is happening. This is Bipartisan politics figuring it out over a serious topic for the public. Mike Turner is an outside Conferee. But there are quite a few allies on the Conferee list. It appears that they are setting up Mike Rogers to be Republican leadership that helps pull this together.

You thought Republicans would let Democrats solo claim Disclosure? Not a chance.

SOMEONE ASKED WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST AREAS OF DISAGREEMENT

I think I hit the top few. Please feel free to make points in the comments and let’s talk this out!

The eminent domain piece. As I’ve written about, I don’t believe we need it. They are banned from reverse engineering UAPs based on the IAA AARO provisions and the info we got earlier from Steve Bassett makes it clear they secured the “IP” concerns behind close doors. AARO Director will be able to stop ALL unauthorized funding toward UAP activities. So as soon as this passes, we are good because Congress and the Exec Branch via AARO Director got control of the purse. Back to Top certain SAPs. The UAPDA Review Board wont be able to FOIA certain SAPs. This is okay. AARO IAA UAP provisions lock down mandatory centralized reporting. The SAPs removed will be stuff that the civilian board probably shouldn’t be able to dig too deeply into anyways for Security Risks. The UAPDA are there as archivists and to disseminate the information in a structured way. The UAPDA can still gather what they need and roll Disclosure out for the historical info and tell the story. We may not know the last 20-25 years, but we will know significantly more about the first 60. As long as congressional oversight and the Whitehouse are both involved in oversight of this, I’m fine with the restricted FOIA access. As we’ve all seen, FOIAs can sometimes be very fruitless in this topic anyways. Republicans and Democrats. Both parties have been pushing this. They need to come together in order to show unity and roll this out to the American public. They needed to pull it into the Conference in order to have it be a “round table” of leadership from both chambers and most committees discuss this. It may take some time, but this is where it was going to be decided anyways

REMEMBER THIS PLEASE

Gaetz, Burchett, and Luna (and others) are referred to as the UAP Caucus. There Democrats and Republicans working together on this. There are members that said these things are “either angels or manmade” a couple months ago. Now they’re saying there is propulsion that can change all of our lives after a shady meeting with the DoD IGs. They have been fighting for this in many ways.

This is politics. Don’t play into the immediate reaction of calling out recent allies and immediately start with political division. Remember these people have to speak to their voters and make this digestible for their constituents. What they say, and what they do, can be different. Keep eyes on the people that have been identified as blocking this. But remember that the other ones have to safe face and find a way to facilitate what’s to come.

The most important thing is to keep focus on letting your Reps know you want Disclosure. If that means you need to call Burchett, all is well but I think we should avoid the immediate mudslinging just because he shares party affiliation with some of the “known opposition”. We will never be able to pull this together if we can’t all get past some of our differences for a moment. We need to agree on Disclosure. It won’t happen if we are immediately yelling at the other side. Talk this one out.

Tell your friends about this, this is going to be on the world stage next year. You’re all here early yo, congratulations.
