Mainstream Media Using UFO Report to Stir Arms Race
Article by Caitlin Johnstone June 4, 2021 (consortiumnews.com)
• The New York Times has published an article on the leaked contents of the still anticipated U.S. government report on UFOs (see here). “The report determines that a vast majority of more than 120 (UFO) incidents over the past two decades did not originate from any American military or other advanced U.S. government technology,” the NY Times was told by the officials. “That determination would appear to eliminate the possibility that Navy pilots who reported seeing unexplained aircraft might have encountered programs the government meant to keep secret.”
• The NY Times also stated definitively that, “Intelligence officials believe at least some of the aerial phenomena could have been experimental technology from a rival power, most likely Russia or China. One senior official briefed on the intelligence said without hesitation that U.S. officials knew it was not American technology. The official said there was worry among intelligence and military officials that China or Russia could be experimenting with hypersonic technology.” Apparently, foreign adversaries have severely lapped American military technological development.
• Of course, the ‘senior government officials’ cited by the NY Times are anonymous, as usual. And of course, the narrative that the NY Times is promoting is convenient for imperialists and war profiteers who want to spur greater defense spending and the development of more intensive weapons to meet the perceived challenges of this new Cold War.
• The NY Times article didn’t hold back on the fear-mongering: “Russia has been investing heavily in hypersonics, believing the technology offers it the ability to evade American missile-defense technology. China has also developed hypersonic weaponry, and included it in military parades. If the phenomena were Chinese or Russian aircraft, officials said, that would suggest the two powers’ hypersonic research had far outpaced American military development.”
• This won’t be the last time we hear the imperial media warning us that UFOs may be a sign of a frightening gap in technology leaving the U.S. defenseless against far more powerful foreign foes. Tucker Carlson has been pushing this narrative for weeks now, demanding that the U.S. government do more to address the fact that “our military was completely outmatched technologically by whatever these (UFOs) were.” “UFOs, it turns out, are real,” said Carlson, “and whatever else they are, they’re a prima facie challenge to the United States military. They’re doing things the U.S. military does not allow, and they’re doing it with impunity.”
• Carlson had on his Fox News show military intelligence veteran Luis Elizondo, who claimed that the Senate UFO report will reveal “an intelligence failure on the part of the U.S. intel community on the level of 9/11.” “If there’s a foreign adversary that can put a nuclear warhead within moments over Washington, D.C., OK, that’s a problem,” Elizondo told Carlson.
• Will we now begin seeing this ‘arms race’ angle become the dominant aspect of this UFO story? It would certainly fit the pattern of the U.S. war machine and mass media promoting completely unverifiable allegations about foreign governments to justify further cold war escalations.
• In the early sixties, President John F. Kennedy falsely promoted the “missile gap” narrative, telling the public that the Soviet Union had surpassed the United States in nuclear weapons when he knew full well the U.S. nuclear arsenal had always far surpassed the U.S.S.R.’s in number, quality and deployment. But Kennedy used this hawkish narrative to win an election and advance the largest peacetime expansion of U.S. military power ever, leading directly to the events which gave rise to the Cuban Missile Crisis which came far closer to ending our world than most of us like to think about.
• This new Cold War that the U.S. is waging against Russia and China is insane. There is no valid reason our planet’s dominant powers cannot at the very least cease brandishing Armageddon weapons at each other and begin collaborating toward a better world. Reject the propagandists and Cold Warriors, no matter how elaborate or bizarre their manipulations become.
• [Editor’s Note] You can see the deep state’s fingerprints all over this NY Times article – and the Cold War fever it promotes. Now that the white hat military Alliance is effectively cleaning out the entrenched deep state scourge, the deep state is desperate for some sort of existential threat or false flag that will distract the public from the war between good vs evil that is currently raging behind the scenes. The evil deep state is trying very hard to make one last ditch effort to manufacture a threat of some sort (ie: nuclear war, famine, pandemic, alien invasion) that will allow them to step in and save us all, to reinforce their political control.
Of course the ‘Tic Tacs’ and ‘drones’ that the military is seeing come from the American military industrial complex using advanced extraterrestrial technology gleaned since the 1950s and recently patented by the US Navy. The deep state just want to turn it around and use it for their own ends, as they have been doing for the past seventy years. This type of deception is the ‘front line’ of the information war that being waged right now.
The New York Times has published an article on the contents of the hotly anticipated
U.S. government report on UFOs, as per usual based on statements of anonymous officials, and as per usual promoting narratives that are convenient for imperialists and war profiteers.
Together with one voice, the anonymous U.S. officials and the “paper of record” — which is supposed to scrutinize U.S. officials — assure us definitively that the mysterious aerial phenomena that have reportedly been witnessed by military personnel are certainly not any kind of secret U.S. technology, but could totally be aliens and could definitely be a sign that the Russians or Chinese have severely lapped America’s lagging military development.
“The report determines that a vast majority of more than 120 incidents over the past
two decades did not originate from any American military or other advanced U.S. government technology,” NYT was reportedly told by the officials. “That determination would appear to eliminate the possibility that Navy pilots who reported seeing unexplained aircraft might have encountered programs the government meant to keep secret.
Oh well if the U.S. government has ruled out secret U.S. government weaponry programs, hot damn that’s good enough for me. Great journalism you guys.

“Intelligence officials believe at least some of the aerial phenomena could have been experimental technology from a rival power, most likely Russia or China,” the Times reports. “One senior official briefed on the intelligence said without hesitation that U.S. officials knew it was not American technology. He said there was worry among intelligence and military officials that China or Russia could be
experimenting with hypersonic technology.”
“Russia has been investing heavily in hypersonics, believing the technology offers it the ability to evade American missile-defense technology,” NYT adds. “China has also developed hypersonic weaponry, and included it in military parades. If the phenomena were Chinese or Russian aircraft, officials said, that would suggest the two powers’ hypersonic research had far outpaced American military development.”
The article goes on to describe how the U.S. military have been “unsettled” by aircraft moving and behaving in ways known technologies cannot explain. The implication of scary foreign adversaries having “outpaced American military development” to such an extent is of course that the U.S. military is going to require a far bigger budget with far more intensive weapons development.
This would be the same New York Times that has consistently supported all of the U.S. military’s devastating acts of mass murder around the world, by the way.
