Concerns about the DOPSR Process
If the Department of Defense (DoD) supports the DOPSR process, why do they permit any information about UAP to be shared by whistleblowers? For example, how is it possible that Jake Barber is allowed to discuss “so and so” employing psychological operations to summon UAP, or any information that might typically be kept confidential? How does this happen? I’m not very well-versed in these three-letter agencies, so please be kind!
It’s great that you’re asking questions about the DOPSR process and the surrounding topics! The DOPSR (Department of Defense’s Office of Prepublication and Security Review) process is designed to vet information that could potentially be sensitive or classified before it’s disclosed to the public. However, there are a few factors to consider regarding UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) information and whistleblower testimonies.
Legitimacy of Information: Sometimes, the information shared by whistleblowers may not be verified or deemed harmful by the DoD, which is why it can be released. The DoD may also prioritize transparency on certain topics, especially when there’s growing public interest.
Controlled Disclosure: The DoD might allow select details to emerge to gauge public interest or to initiate dialogue about UAPs, while still protecting more sensitive information. This controlled disclosure can help in managing narratives about UAP phenomena.
Focus on Certain Aspects: UAP-related information often gets attention because it’s associated with national security concerns, technological advancements, and public interest. The DoD may allow some discussions to occur around it, while still prohibiting more sensitive operational details.
Whistleblower Protections: When individuals like Jake Barber speak out, there are legal frameworks and protections that can shield them from repercussions, depending on how their statements align with disclosure policies.
Different Entities, Different Standards: Various three-letter agencies have different missions and priorities. What one agency considers confidential or sensitive can differ from another’s assessment.
