    my first takeaway is that news nation has horrible editors. the commercials and plugs this past week made Grusch sounds kinda dumb. He was well spoken in the actual interview IMO.

    I’m inclined to believe him. The fact the dod IG is acting as lawyer to protect him due the gov. Officials going after him due to him just doing his job for the gov. Speaks volumes.

    I’m not gonna try to tie this to some other psyop shite as there is zero evidence for that.(not a challenge to convince me, so don’t).

    David has followed decent routes to get his story out, provided docs to key people who’ve followed his requests to not release until he asked. The names he has mentioned have themselves come out under oath too, there are others he clearly can’t name as they’re still active/serving officials. This all dove tails to his credibility and to me is far more believable than Lazar and other similar stories.

      I’m with you there. We don’t have any hard evidence available to us (yet) but the dude has creds and lots of serious people backing him up. I have no idea what to make of his claims yet, but I’m on the edge of my seat solely because of his credibility. Let’s get weird.

      I’m on the fence. I’m waiting to see what happens next. There’s not enough information to make a judgement. He seems trustworthy and I believe that there are good people who want to do the right thing.

    I thought the interview was very well-presented considering the target audience was not the people who are already open-minded to or believers in NHI. Ross posed some of the FAQ of both skeptics and cynics, which I thought he did well.

    I actually feel a bit more hopeless this morning that the truth will ever see the light of day.

    Social media and YouTube comments showed how truly ignorant much of the general public is on this subject, and I am afraid there will never be the level of pressure required for disclosure to happen. Maybe it’s a result of the shitshow that is public education or it’s something else, but the questions people were asking were of the lowest level. For example, “If it’s real, why does it only happen in the US?” I saw that one repeated, and usually posed in sarcastic or condescending ways, by people who have probably never read an international news story in their lives but somehow expect news from Africa or South America to hit them in the face. Some incredible people have put together amazing repositories of information and created compelling documentaries and videos, but people aren’t willing to even say, “Hmm. Let me look into this a little.” It’s like almost nobody knows how to do basic research, or even cares to educate themselves on something that’s new to them.

    I’m also more hopeless about the powers that be ever telling the truth. They will not give up their power, privilege, or wealth. I hope I’m wrong and just experiencing disclosure fatigue, but when you think of the wars fought and people killed over wealth, religion, fossil fuels… I can’t see the most powerful and wealthy of the world allowing that to go away.

    I probably should have led with this, but I do believe Grush. What he said makes sense, such as AARO not even having or being given access to the real information. It also clarified for me that the whistleblowing already happened internally, and this is just public reporting on that process. So much of what’s known in the UFO body of evidence was also corroborated, even/especially the disinformation by the government, which circles back to my frustration and anger.

    At the least, it was thought-provoking. I found myself asking new, higher-level questions than I have before. I am at least hoping this helps dispel with the stigma of being believer.

    This may be the first time I’ve heard a government official say that these are not be classic “aliens” but may actually be multi-dimensional beings.

    Grusch did lose me a bit though when he said he didn’t go to college but was appointed to his position because he knew physics. And the way he talked about it was a bit parochial.

    I would like to believe him but I have doubts. I’ve been following this topic since I had to physically go to a library and check out the books. 😂 Since the internet came around, it’s been easier to access information but obviously you have to wade through a sea of dubious claims and unvetted reports. There’s something about Grusch that causes me to have a visceral reaction and I’m not sure what it is yet. I’m not saying he’s lying but l am still on the fence with this one.
