This thought first crossed my mind back in 2017, but I recently gathered some data that allows for a deeper analysis. <\/p>\n<p>Consider that since launching its space station in 2011, China has made significant strides in space exploration, sending the Lunar Rover Yutu to the moon in 2013, its counterpart Tutu 2 to the moon\u2019s far side in 2019, and the Tianwen-1 rover to Mars in 2021. Additionally, they are actively engaging in satellite maneuvers that simulate space warfare, essentially testing their capabilities against U.S. satellites <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airandspaceforces.com\/china-space-force-maneuver\/#:~:text=%E2%80%94Chinese%20satellites%20in%20geosynchronous%20orbit,learn%20to%20maneuver%20in%20response\">source<\/a>. Meanwhile, we are facing potential setbacks, like the possible cancellation of the Artemis program, while American private companies struggle with inconsistent lander missions. SpaceX is still dealing with Starship\u2019s repeated failures, and the International Space Station is nearing the end of its lifespan, especially with ongoing leak issues.<\/p>\n<p>The establishment of the U.S. Space Force in 2019 clearly indicates that we perceive a threat in space. Coupled with the ongoing Pentagon audits that often fall short\u2014possibly due to undisclosed funding\u2014it seems plausible that the renewed focus on UAPs serves three purposes: 1) heighten public awareness, 2) propagate the idea of potential external threats, and 3) secure defense funding from Congress more transparently by justifying spending on programs that can be officially recorded.<\/p>\n<p>This perspective isn\u2019t a stretch when we apply thorough and strategic thinking to the developments since 2017.<\/p>\n<p>I want to clarify that I am not dismissing the UAP phenomenon. My aim is to understand the military\u2019s interest in these occurrences and their efforts to engage the public. This could also shed light on why numerous \u201cwhistleblowers\u201d have successfully passed DOPSR screenings, revealing just enough to stir curiosity or concern, but withholding definitive information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nA Theory on Whistleblowers and Their Impact on Agency Funding I originally shared this idea in r\/aliens, but I think it warrants further discussion here.
