That’s both Stratton and Lacatski who have made these allegations.
Perhaps either of them would like to actually clear this up and say who they’re talking about and why they know?
🚨Massive allegations from @jaystratton about fake whistleblowers in Out of the Shadows! Read full quote below-
“A new layer of the disinformation campaign is manufactured by so called whistleblowers, stepping into the spotlight of the social media and podcast arena, often urged on by bad actors doing the legacy programs bidding.
They spin tales that grab headlines, not because they are credible, but because they are sensational. And because a hungry online community, desperate for any breadcrumb, eats them up without question and elevates these individuals as authoritative voices on the topic. To be clear, there are certainly credible whistleblowers who bravely speak up about this issue. Mostly in private with congress.
But these planted phonies undermine the impact of the real deal whistleblowers and confuse the public. These people muddy the waters, because they are not credible. Their stories are bullshit. They are loose canons and eventually as planned, the public will realise it, with most unfortunately dismissing the topic as a whole.
These called so called whistleblowers have different motivations for telling their fantastical stories. Some simply find the momentary fame appealing and plan to monetize it somehow. Some are convinced they are helping move disclosure forward. Once they are out in the public eye, and their reputations are on the line, they feel they’re into deep to change course…
What makes it worse is that some of this fiction has found its way into testimony before congress. Implying a reality that doesn’t exist, but cloaked in just enough theatre to suggest credibility. These distractions pull focus from the real work, the real history, the real programs and the truth.”
These are enormous allegations, given these whistleblowers claims have been taken as testimony before congress. Who is Jay Stratton talking about?

🛸Passport to Magonia – 1969 – Jacques Vallée
One of the most influential books in UFO research, written by one of the field's most important researchers.
Published in 1969, Passport to Magonia challenged the traditional extraterrestrial hypothesis by examining connections between modern UFO encounters, historical accounts, folklore, and mythology.
The book also contains a remarkable catalog of 923 UFO landing and close-encounter reports spanning 1868 to 1968.
Jacques Vallée helped change the direction of UFO research. His work with J. Allen Hynek, early computerized UFO databases, and decades of investigating unusual encounters made him one of the most influential figures in the field.
His ideas continue to be discussed more than 50 years later, particularly the possibility that the UFO phenomenon may be more complicated than simply extraterrestrial visitors.
Vallée's influence even extended into popular culture, helping inspire the French scientist character in Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Pictured is my hardcover copy with its original dust jacket, inscribed to UFO researcher Tom Benson and signed Jacques.

“'The Varieties of Contemplative Experience' (VCE) study appears to have been the first systematic attempt to document kinds of negative effects encountered in meditation, but it is worth a closer look to understand what the study did and did not show."

There's a lot of ground to cover when you're building a Moon Base.
During the first phase of @NASAMoonBase development, robotic rovers will gather new details about the lunar South Pole region, while lunar terrain vehicles will extend the reach of each Artemis mission.

🛸The reason the Ariel school story exists in its current form is largely due to exaggeration & misreporting. @GeorgesStPierre makes this blatantly false claim - does he care about truth?

Bill Munns wrote about this in the most recent Journal of Scientific Exploration. He brings up a lot of interesting points, notably that it's not clarified who offered this alleged "official" confirmation. More needs to be given than assertions that have to taken on faith.
The iconic Bigfoot video from 1967 is officially confirmed to be a hoax after new archival footage was found for an upcoming documentary.

The term “AI assistant” tells you nothing about who can access your conversations or what they can be used for.

Healed after a UFO encounter?
Yes, you read that right. 🛸
Another gem from the archives.
Jacques Vallée discusses reports of extraordinary healings with Jeffrey Mishlove.
Experiencers have been telling us about this for decades.
I too experienced a healing 5 years ago

What’s happening in France is a wake-up call to the entire world. 🌍 The cost of living keeps rising while everyday people struggle to survive. People are tired of working hard just to barely get by. Governments need to start listening to the people before frustration turns into chaos. 💯🙏🏽
