X Thread by Rep. Burlison:


Before I was elected to Congress last year, I had a general idea of how the Washington bureaucracy functioned and the role Congress plays in conducting oversight.

But seeing it from the inside, let me tell you – it’s worse than you can imagine.

Everything you suspect the Federal bureaucracy is doing, they’re almost certainly doing.

And it’s nearly impossible to get a straight answer.

Which is why I’m so drawn to the UAP transparency issue.

As I see it, to the extent that we actually believe in genuine representative government, getting some truth out relating to the UAP phenomenon (and secrecy) is important.

We talk about the need for a democratic system to have an informed citizenry. Well, this is a major subject that one would think an informed and responsible citizenry needs to know about.

The Federal Government spends millions of your tax dollars examining UAPs.

We paid for this information.

You, the taxpayers, own this information, and you have a right to know. You elect members of Congress to oversee it.

If that’s not happening, we need to change the way this place works. And not just for UAPs – although it’s a fine place to start – but for everything.

The time for transparency is now. DOD, CIA, DOE and the rest of the three-letter agencies owe the American people transparency.

No more lies, no more coverups.

These agencies exist exclusively to benefit the American public.

If unelected bureaucrats and defense contractors can shut down Congressional oversight – and ultimately your voice in Washington – then we don’t have a real republic.

And I’d suggest more members of Congress – as well as people in the media – start looking into this shady oligarchy – and determining whether it deserves to exist anymore.
