Response to the Review of \u201cAge of Disclosure\u201d in Variety
\nVariety Review Link<\/a><\/p>\n

While the author raises a valid point about the prevalence of cameras in today’s world\u2014an observation that remains pertinent despite varying interpretations\u2014the rest of the piece leans towards a “I won’t believe it until I see it” stance, accompanied by attempts to rationalize this skepticism.<\/p>\n

\u2026the real truth is that each era responds to the extraterrestrial \u201cevidence\u201d that\u2019s tailor-made for it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s unclear what this really means, but it seems to suggest that people are most influenced by aspects of popular culture that resonate with them. I can agree with that, but why is it labeled a \u201creal truth,\u201d and how does this apply to the film? Is he implying we should doubt these government officials because their claims resemble something out of the X-Files? Are abductee stories merely the result of exposure to narratives like Close Encounters of the Third Kind?<\/p>\n

\n

But then my skepticism kicked in. It has to do with two highly earthbound phenomena. The first is the power of suggestion \u2014 the way that stories get repeated, and exaggerated, and embellished, and confirmed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That is true, but how does this relate to the film? Some officials claim first-hand knowledge. Is he insinuating they either lack this knowledge or are merely embellishing the “non-human” aspect?<\/p>\n

I commend anyone examining this topic through a critical lens. There are indeed many inconsistencies and complexities. However, I encourage the author to redirect his skepticism towards a different inquiry. It’s entirely reasonable to not believe in non-human intelligence until solid evidence emerges. In the meantime, let\u2019s consider this critical question:<\/p>\n

\n

They are 34 senior members of the U.S. government, military, and intelligence communities, all claiming to have \u201cdirect knowledge\u201d of UAPs. These are credible individuals, primarily composed of serious-looking white men. So they must be correct, right? They assert their claims with unwavering certainty.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

WHY ARE THESE INDIVIDUALS SPREADING THEIR MESSAGES WITH SUCH CONFIDENCE?<\/p>\n

Do we have doubts about their qualifications, their honesty, or their intentions? It must be one or more of these factors because otherwise, it\u2019s hard to believe they would make such potentially self-damaging assertions unless they are indeed true.<\/p>\n

\u201cAge of Disclosure\u201d challenges us to confront and explore these questions. Instead of making sarcastic remarks about \u201cUAPs,\u201d offering vague, unsupported thoughts on the link between popular culture and \u201cthe truth,\u201d and adopting a dismissive attitude with \u201cI\u2019ll believe it when I see it,\u201d a more insightful review would address these essential questions directly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
