The good lady blows smoke. I note that Matt Ford, Gary Nolan, Jeremy Corbell and others actively counsel whistleblowers to stay the hell away from AARO. AARO is a flypaper syop designed to entrap them.

Hmmm let's hope if they are truly not non-human if we are gonna start shooting at them. How about flying up there with their own drone to get a close view 1st?! They don't need authority for that. This does not add up.

Matt- It is alleged in a recent reddit post (r/aliens) that "AARO Director Jon T. Kosloski did not take an oath during the official recording of Congressional testimony made available to the public by Congress." Please confirm and/or comment on this. Appreciate it.

It’s on CSPAN. Not sure. But nothing was out of ordinary. They treated him as they do all witnesses, as far as I know

It's actually unusual for witnesses to be put under oath; perjury laws don't require an oath. Grusch & co. apparently had to kick up a fuss to make sure they were put under oath at their hearing.

The other question to put to her is that AARO doesn’t have special agent GS-1811 authority to do investigations and knock on doors themselves. Is that something AARO needs to have to investigate private contractors?

Thanks Matt! I appreciate that Gillibrand has specific plans and legislation to introduce. She doesn’t seem like she’s fishing.

Right? Folks reacting much harder to that hearing and her new bill than I imagined. Que sera sera

Matt, next time you catch Gillibrand, could you please ask her if she’s heard that whistleblowers are worried certain elements of AARO are leaking info to the CIA, via the advisory board, which in turn is being used to retaliate against them?
