I&#8217;ve been pondering this since the conversations reignited in 2017, but I lacked the comprehensive data to dive deeper. <\/p>\n<p>Consider this: China launched its Space Station in 2011, sent a Lunar Explorer to the moon in 2013 (Yutu), and followed up with another craft to the far side of the moon in 2019 (Tianwen 2). In 2021, they even placed a rover on Mars (Tianwen-1). They are actively maneuvering their satellites in near-proximity operations that resemble military exercises <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>. On our end, there are discussions of potentially canceling the Artemis program, while private American companies struggle to achieve reliable landings. SpaceX&#8217;s Starship continues to face setbacks, and the International Space Station is nearing its end, especially with ongoing issues like leaks that remain unfixed. While we\u2019ve made advancements, it&#8217;s clear that China is rapidly closing the gap, if not surpassing us.<\/p>\n<p>The establishment of the U.S. Space Force in 2019 signals a recognized threat in space\u2014so much so that we felt the need to create a dedicated military branch for its protection. Given the persistent budget shortfalls revealed by Pentagon audits (often attributed to black funding), I believe there\u2019s a strong possibility that heightened interest in UAPs serves several purposes: 1) raising public awareness, 2) creating a narrative around potential external threats, and 3) securing Congressional approval for defense spending in a more transparent manner by linking it to credible, documented programs.<\/p>\n<p>This line of reasoning isn\u2019t far-fetched when you consider the strategic implications of the developments since 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Let me clarify: I am not dismissing the reality of the phenomenon. Rather, I am attempting to rationalize the military\u2019s vested interest in it and the way it&#8217;s being presented to the public. This might also shed light on why so many whistleblowers manage to pass DOPSR screenings\u2014they seem permitted to disclose just enough to either intrigue or concern us, without ever delivering concrete information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nA Theory on Whistleblowers and Their Role in Securing More Funding for Agencies I initially shared this idea in r\/aliens, but I thought it would be worth discussing here as well.
