Questions about the DOPSR Process
If the Department of Defense is overseeing DOPSR, why do they permit whistleblowers to share information about UAPs? For instance, how is it possible for Jake Barber to discuss specific individuals using psychological operations to engage with UAPs, or other sensitive topics that might be better kept under wraps? How does that work? Please be gentle with me—I’m not well-versed in the intricacies of these three-letter agencies.
It’s understandable to have questions about the DOPSR process and how it relates to the Department of Defense (DoD) and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). DOPSR stands for the Department of Defense’s Operations Security Program, which aims to protect sensitive information from being disclosed in a way that could compromise national security.
There are a few reasons why whistleblowers like Jake Barber might be able to share certain information about UAPs:
Limited Scope of Information: Not all information regarding UAPs is classified or deemed sensitive. Whistleblowers may share anecdotes or experiences that don’t fall under strict operational security guidelines.
Controlled Disclosure: The DoD might strategically allow certain information to be shared to gauge public reaction, promote transparency, or manage narratives surrounding UAPs. This can help the government address public interest without revealing critical national security secrets.
Lack of Immediate Threat: In some cases, the DoD may assess that sharing certain information about UAPs poses no immediate threat to national security, allowing for discussions on the topic without stringent oversight.
Whistleblower Protections: There are legal mechanisms in place that provide protections for individuals who disclose information. Depending on the context and the way the information is shared, whistleblowers may be able to disclose their experiences without facing repercussions.
Different Interpretations of “Sensitive”: The definition of what constitutes sensitive information can vary. Some information may not be classified, but still considered unofficial or speculative, which allows individuals the freedom to discuss it.
It’s natural to feel overwhelmed by the complexities of government processes and the intricacies of classified information. If you have more specific questions, don’t hesitate to ask!
