Thank you so much for writing this series. No one else is engaging on this level

Do you have any thoughts on where it's all headed?

Increasingly I get the sense that the narrative is not about the public at all. Some of the narrative-pumping is so obvious and hokey that I figured it was designed to capture the little people. But maybe it's meant to pill and leverage the big fish, billionaires and other key players.

In that context, these books would be props/accessories to old rumors. So long as the public narrative roughly matches the shape of the rumors, the in-group feels ahead of the curve. And the public getting the silly/messy/theatrical version of the narrative further reinforces the barrier between in-group and out-group

It's also possible that no one is the targeted audience at this stage -- that the intelligence community took their own bait and the narrative has achieved a velocity they never intended, the falcon cannot hear the falconer. A scarier idea

Whatever the case, I feel bad for Bledsoe. I've had my own experiences with both the phenomenon and surveillance (less direct but still personal/targeted) and I sometimes wonder if the two are connected

The TT thing has all the appearance of stage management. The scene in American Cosmic when he was, according to Pasulka, telling creepy SWR tales lends the lie to the whole thing. It appeared they were being primed (blindfolds etc) to lower guards and be receptive to the next theatrical scene at the crash site. Pasulka even wrote how she prayed before they set off, which highlights how her objectivity had given up the ghost.

Reason for commenting is to leave a link to an old 2011 Chase Kloetzke interview with Jerry Pippin. She recalls seeing a weird being (Close Encounters type little alien) during a Star Team incident in 2010. I saved it at the time because it wasn't long after James Carion exposed the Bigelow MUFON thing and I believed she was a knowing extension of the SWR hoax. Could be she was more of a stooge in something greater. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X5H9lMxg9B_uX1-I0EN-dsz9Le2Sl94C/view?usp=drive_link

Really appreciate you taking the time to dissect this guy. The Last Podcast on the Left (while being pretty crude/making jokes as usual) made a number of good points on Bledsoe. Specifically how he seems so much like a nice, simple, unassuming old dude. That's what puts people in the way of joining in on the burgeoning cult. The Forrest Gump of UFOs.
