I think that we are not sufficiently acknowledging what we already do know, and we do already know a lot. It doesn't really matter that many people don't know. Many of them don't really care one way or another. And it doesn't matter that some people, like Mick West, are taking an advocacy position. He doesn't know anything anyway. He's a newbie with an attitude. It's not like he has spent any quality time analyzing the issues. He brings no expertise to the debate. I dismiss him as irrelevant. We also have no need to convince people who don't know, even if they are actively resisting.
What we do know comes from many different people, both inside and outside of government, the military, contractors, and corporations. They have stood up and told us. They saw something They touched something, They tracked it, followed it, analyzed it, measured it, and in some cases, if they are to be believed, even rode on it. These are people from all walks of life, including children, pilots both military and otherwise, old ladies, and even some crazy people.
Because I don't believe everyone. Truman Bethurum's fanciful affair with Aura Rhanes from Clarion is a great fantasy. She was even named as a co-respondent in his divorce. And Serpo isn't even a very good story. A step up from them we have people like Billy Meier and Steven Greer. They may have seen something, but surely they have exaggerated a great deal. If you don't think so, then actually read their books, then come back here and profess how true they are.
They don't matter either. They can also be dismissed. But you can't dismiss the vast majority of ordinary people who have disclosed what they saw. That the government itself has not sufficiently disclosed all “it” knows is another issue entirely. It begs the question. Why do you need the government to disclose to you what your fellow citizens have already told you, including dozens of people from within the government itself? Do you really need the government to confirm reality for you? Will you still continue to believe in Santa until your parents tell you otherwise? Is that the only thing that will convince you Santa isn't real?
At this point the debate shifts from the reality of UFOs to the “people's right to know.” But what is this right based upon? It's not in the Declaration of Independence. It's not in the Constitution. It's not in the Bill of Rights. And these are just American documents anyway, though the ideas have been copied globally. They still don't count for Russia, China, and the majority of people in the world. About the closest you can come to a “right to know” is the FOIA: The Freedom of Information Act, which is trying to get to the concept of government transparency. But as you know, is full of exemptions for such things as national security.
Given that last issue, you will be hard-pressed to “demand” government disclose anything at all. And for the many among us who would suggest people need to be tried and sent to jail for not telling is everything, nonsense. We have several generations now of people who have refused to disclose, and to them, they have been doing their job of protecting the republic as they see it. If you keep trotting out this “We're gonna get you!” motif, you can't expect any sort of cooperation.
I want Disclosure as much as anyone, but I don't “demand” it because that is counterproductive. We don't need more enemies. We simply need to encourage cooperation.

Everything hurts and I'm tired.
