Quackery and TT

This is a note written in response to an ongoing discussion held on another platform. It is unrelated to my work or any other matter mentioned on my blog.

If you have wondered why it is so hard to achieve so-called “disclosure”, the latest and brightest term in the zeitgeist, then you need to stop uncritically absorbing everything that you hear and considering it a possibility, even remote.

Professionals within the intelligence communities of The Thing are growing increasingly skeptical of the benefits of keeping information secret. Partly because they are increasingly recognizing of the harm created by keeping this information secret, but mainly because they will soon be incapable of keeping the information secret. It is better to have it be told, in full form and without any withholding, by those who were foundational to the intelligence community, instead of state organizations that may choose to withhold arbitrary amounts of information. However, this will not happen.

Unfortunately, as public awareness is growing, it is shifting its attention towards falsehoods, attention-seekers, and deceptions by opportunistic individuals motivated by self-gain. False pseudoscience and conspiracies such as remote viewing, “soul traps” and other quasi-spiritual quackery is becoming mainstream in the woefully small public community of researchers of The Thing, distancing it from not only the rational and scientific reality of The Thing, but also from the overall interest of the science community.

Many of them believed that independent researchers, using scientific processes and empiricism, would eventually make discoveries of their own that would turn the whole topic of The Thing into a mainstream curiosity, which would hopefully convince state representatives and the chairs of the intelligences communities related to The Thing to open up, even if slowly, gradually and meticulously, the reality of The Thing to the wider public.

Unfortunately, the lies, falsehoods, and spiritual quackery is “sliding [us] back into superstition and darkness”, as Carl Sagan once bluntly put it. The more liberal management, once excited at the prospect of opening up knowledge regarding The Thing, has been turned into strict conservatives, because a public that is still “clutching their crystals and nervously consulting their horoscopes” is definitely not ready for the scientific realities that accompanies the existence of The Thing.

Contrary to what the public may think, trickling down knowledge on a need-to-know basis will not lead to the conditions—the “opening” of the mind—necessary for wider acknowledgement of The Thing. Why would it? Chesterton told us that the object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid. Limited, select pieces of footage isn’t sufficient to convince a public increasingly doubtful of videos; the notes, the context, and the testimonies of those who have been there are not honestly or fully presented, so it is evident that most will simply ignore, or forget, and move on. You either release the whole dossier, or you release nothing.

Therefore, if you think that there are authorities out there slowly opening up the valve on information, and actors in between you and them that are conservatively “teasing you” with this, you are wrong and being swindled. This is not how it works. If transparency is eventually sought out, then the opacity will crash down to zero in weeks or maybe months, not years. Anyone claiming otherwise is lying and not knowledgeable.

Hopefully, this will change, as they hope the public will eventually cease with their superstitions and their perpetual creation of lies and falsehoods. Until then, nothing.
