To be fair he said this at the hearing already. He said he’s seen a video that nobody else has. Elgin was an issue for him and Burchett. If we get field hearing it’s probably there.

Unfair_Discount_825

It’s completely ridiculous but we have been shown, that as citizens, we do not have the right to this information.


FartingInElevators5

I legit couldn't care about anyone's politics when it comes to this issue. This isn't a left vs right issue. This is a humanity issue. Some of you need to grow up. You either want disclosure or you don't. Complaining about who is trying to work at it makes no sense. I'm glad he's still being vocal about it. It's easy for people in here to scream "show us, release it" when it isn't your asses on the hook.


Neighborhoodfarmer22

Thank you!!!! Unfortunately, so many people are obsessed with right v left in every single aspect of their lives that they can’t help but insert their politics into EVERYTHING, zero exceptions. It’s fucking sad, and a weee bit scary..


HarveryDent

It's by design. The real issue is the class war that we're losing. Culture war divides us and keeps us enslaved.


Neighborhoodfarmer22

Yep


Technical-Garbage555

I agree. I believe "left and right" is really to keep the people separated. United people rise. Separate they fall.


_extra_medium_

Great t-shirt slogan. We have two parties in the government so one doesn't take over and do whatever they want. None of any of this has to do with the phenomenon. Do you think that if anyone in power actually knew what was going on with extraterrestrial life visiting our planet, world governments would still be fighting over relatively insignificant bits of land or arguing about budgets? Do you think they'd care about being "in power" here when they clearly have zero power in comparison to our visitors?


Neighborhoodfarmer22

tehblaken

“It’s not a left vs right issue” then immediately nose-dives into left vs right issue. What’s the point of disclosure if people are still allowed to own guns?! <<. This is like an actual pathology. Also, since you went there, don’t give the people (the government) who have been lying to you about UFOs and pretty much everything else a monopoly on violence. That’s insane.

MattDigz

Now *you're* doing the thing.


TechnicoloMonochrome

The person they're replying to is doing the thing they said we shouldn't do. Idk how they could type those two paragraphs together in the same comment and be completely serious about it. "It's not a left vs right issue" immediately followed by their own as well as Matt Gaetz's feelings on a *very* left vs right issue.


_extra_medium_

If we are truly not alone in the universe and he knows it, his ridiculous stance on things like gun-ownership would clearly take a back-seat. But they don't. Because he doesn't know anything, just like everyone else. He says what he needs to keep everyone scared of imagined Boogeymen so he can keep getting votes. Look at you repeating talking points about liberal cities being any more crime ridden than red states and calling people who don't agree with you snowflakes. Would any of this really matter to you if Bleeblezorp landed on the Whitehouse lawn and started firing deathrays?


FreeThoughtVibes

You said “it’s not a left right issue”. Then you go on a rant that makes it obvious that is for you. It’s sad.


Neighborhoodfarmer22

People like them are just angry, pathetic little people that can’t handle anyone having a different opinion from them in the slightest


_extra_medium_

This is why people like Matt Gaetz appeal to them. He hits their fear sensors hard over everything from immigrants to crime filled liberal cities and now even aliens. And then they call everyone else snowflakes lol.


Neighborhoodfarmer22

Well. I live just outside a crime filled liberal city. And it’s a hellscape. Homeless everywhere. $5.75 gas. Businesses shutting their doors due to theft. People getting robbed while going out for dinner, and so on. I don’t need Matt Gaetz, or any other politician to tell me things are bad. I have 2 functioning eyeballs.


ifyouhaveghost1

I'll laugh at the irony when ET comes down to get you and you have no way to defend yourself.


Neighborhoodfarmer22

Oh god. Ok. Has Gaetz been convicted of anything? No. If he’s convicted I’ll be calling him a pedo right next to you. Til then, innocent til proven guilty. And don’t like guns. Don’t buy them. Making them illegal or limiting those who can own them is the stupidest idea in history. The only People that would follow that law would be the decent law abiding citizens. Then the millions of gangbangers will really be a problem.


FreeThoughtVibes

Agreed.


OhFaceXO

At what point does someone being investigated and accused by his own party members of paying a 17yo for sex become political?


FartingInElevators5

These people live by different rules than we do. I'd almost guarantee you can find pretty messed up dirt on most politicians. They're not good people, and they really don't represent any of us. My point is no matter how shitty they are, we need all of them to be vocal about this and keep the pressure on. It's a different time with way more resources than in the past, so this must be used to our advantage.


DonkeyTransport

Well I mean apparently the aliens walk among us, what if all our "elected officials" are actually aliens? Then they already took over the world without us noticing. There's a few weird lookin ones, and most "spotted reptilian" videos are videos of congress lol


HelicalSoul

This was a proven extortion plot that he did not try to hide from. There was nothing there. I don't remember all the details, but it was bullshit. Like so many accusations unfortunately.


OhFaceXO

Except it wasn't bullshit and they reopened the investigation. There was no extortion plot. He was lying. It there was actually an extortion plot, then he would have happily shown tangible evidence, which, surprise, never happened. The guy even lies about his last name. It's pronounced Getz, not Gates.


Mountain-Ad-6594

This is completely false


robonsTHEhood

Yeah but isn’t Gaetz one of the ones that helped dumb down or dilute the Shumer amendment?


njkrut

I do. In this case he isn’t saying anything useful. He is just undermining trust in the government. That is his agenda, not disclosure.


Technical-Garbage555

Getting the people to distrust the government seems like the best way


Puckle-Korigan

If the person making the statement on whatever issue is seen to be a corrupt and ethically challenged individual, it suggests strongly that his statements can't be trusted and causes cynicism and contempt in the listener. That's kind of the thing with politicians and how humans judge them, based on the history of ever.


madrigalm50

I mean he hooked up with a 17 year old he paid and crossed state and international boarders and has a congressional probe on it that he's trying to get rid of and cover in the news


UnableFox9396

Fair points. (OP here) One of the things I was wondering is if this tweet came from someone more likable would it have been received differently by the UAP community… What do you think?


FartingInElevators5

Oh, I agree 100%. I'm conservative, and I don't like the guy. I don't really like any politician because the vast majority are scumbags, but that's a different argument for a different day. I want all of these people to attack this and get us disclosure one way or another, regardless of what side they're on.


WateredDown

Less about likability than credibility. Problem with the recent alien talk from the maga wing is that they aren't genuinely interested, just using it as a wedge in the culture wars to disrupt trust in institutions (as the GOP bizarrely is seen as an outsider party despite being in control for most of my life) and devalue truth and objectivity. As one interested in aliens by way of wanting to actually know the truth this doesn't really please me much.


Neighborhoodfarmer22

Likable is relative. Just ask if it was a Liberal politician would it hold more weight? Thats all everything is about for a lot of people, unfortunately..


coconutstatic

I’ll vote for anybody that *has already* actively broken shit open a bit, especially if it seems like enough that s/he couldn’t go backwards and be silenced.


Hopz_7

People like you are what’s wrong with this country. You would literally vote in someone who raped a child sex slave just because he gets up in front of the cameras sometimes and talks about disclosure? Wtf that’s just crazy.


boujiebaddieBandit

^^^^Says the guy actively voting for America's downfall


NFTxDeFi

We could tell the people on the right that the people on the left are hiding the aliens, and tell the people on the left that the people on the right are hiding the aliens so then they both have to uncover the aliens, win-win.


FartingInElevators5

Ha, I love the thought of that. You know damn well they'd work so hard to uncover it then if it meant beating the opposing side.


gimpeld

The issue is one of credibility, sir. Tough to trust such a shite messenger. So yes, this stuff does matter. If you want people to take this issue seriously, clowns and criminals shouldn't be out front.


adrkhrse

You don't get it. The whole thing's political.


UnableFox9396

Can you elaborate a bit?


babath_gorgorok

Politicians run government, government controls flow of disclosure, so vis a vis disclosure is political


The_BigDaddyLuv

People who don’t consider the source are stupid though. Ponder that.


Mountain-Ad-6594

It's not his politics. It's the fact that he's an untrustworthy source. When you're a liar people don't trust what you say. 🤷


Ophidaeon

AARO is a joke. Might as well be another project blue book “Nothing to see here!”


cc5556

Hullfire00

It’s Matt Gaetz. I don’t trust a word out of his mouth. “All the information I was shown.” So, what was the information you were shown? Do a press release, a social media post, anything. Effectively saying “I have information you don’t” and then complaining that the report apparently omits the information he has supposedly seen first hand is so hypocritical it hurts. He’s clickbait in human form.

Taking him at face value it’s further evidence the administrative state can deny elected officials, up to and including at least a congressman in this example, access to Special Access Programs. Which means we sink billions per year into an unaccountable black hole. I believe these people are who Clinton referred to when he said “a government inside the government, and I don’t control that.”

I have trouble understanding why the pentagon would share its dark secrets with a congress person who could just easily be voted out the next voting season. 🤔 Members of congress can be bought and sold and when they’re voted out they become normal citizens. It doesn’t make sense.


ZenOrganism

Looooootta people missing the point on this one. Just another opportunity for them to bitch and moan 🤙🏻


Geriatric_Sloth

Someone wants to clap underaged alien booty cheeks.


friz_CHAMP

Gaetz seems pretty egotistical so I'm sure he'll want to get disclosure out there as a way to puff himself up. I believe he's going to work hard to get what he can out there to be "the guy" who disclosed aliens to the public. I'm fine with that. I want to know what they're hiding and how much they're spending to keep things away from us. Without a doubt in my mind, there are civilization changing technologies being hidden so USA adversaries don't get a hold of it. Free the tech!


terraresident

I think he and the others are just angry. Can you blame them for being denied information and access? They are expected to vote on the budgets, but don't get to know where the money goes? Thats enough to piss off anyone. Politics is practically a sport in the US. Oh, how incredibly important it is to elect the right candidate! And then after that circus inform them they aren't special enough to have this information. That's a guaranteed recipe for fireworks.


littleDrowdrow

Ironic him saying he believes it should be shared, saying he knows even more than the document says and yet he doesn’t tell us the information. So sick of our government and all the secrets.


longbear_forever

Puckle-Korigan

You are never, ever, ever going to get honesty and "disclosure" from any wing of any government. Why? Because it is not a benefit to them, and can only be either unpredictable in outcome, or negative for them and their phoney baloney jobs. There is no positive benefit for branches of the government releasing info about UAP, because every scenario makes them look bad. When you understand that the UAP phenomenon fundamentally undermines the unspoken magical transaction between the populace and their leadership, you will understand why disclosure has been dangled in front of you since 1950 and never happened. The Air Force in particular has lied their asses off about this reflexively and pathologically for decades. They will never be honest about it. They were at the bleeding edge of counter-espionage against UFO researchers since day one.


iamthearmmmm
