Gillibrand: “OK, so, since you aren’t familiar, can you please familiarize yourself with this issue and respond to both of those questions in writing before your confirmation, please?”

Those words were spoken by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (bless her heart) and directed at Robert P. Storch, President Biden’s nominee to serve as the next Inspector General of the Department of Defense (DoD). This exchange took place during Storch’s recent Senate confirmation hearings. Senator Gillibrand was referring to the issue of a current investigation being carried out by the DoD’s Office of the Inspector General (OIG). That OIG within the DoD has been tasked with probing the DoD’s responsiveness, or unresponsiveness, to Congressional requests for more information from the DoD concerning reports of repeated incursions of UAP/UFOs into restricted US military airspace. Senator Gillibrand wants that investigation carried forward by whoever takes the reins of the office of the DoD OIG — and so do I. It was about this issue that Gillibrand was asking and to which Storch openly admitted, and with some surprise at even being asked the question, that he was “not familiar”. I invite you to listen to this brief clip of that exchange.

Senator Gillibrand questioning Robert Storch, President Biden's nominee for Inspector General of the Department of Defense

I am a retired physician. I have never served in government nor in the military, excepting several short-term stints when, as a civilian, I provided health care to US military veterans at several VA hospitals around the country. How, then, can it be that I, “Joe Blow” American citizen, am familiar with not only the general topic of UAP/UFOs, but also their often and repeated incursions into restricted US military airspace - yet Mr. Storch apparently is not? Why am I aware of the numerous reports from retired US military officers concerning UFOs disabling entire flights of US ICBM nuclear weapons, repeatedly, over a span of several decades, yet Mr. Storch is not? Why have I been aware that an ongoing investigation by the DoD’s OIG concerning the DoD’s (un)responsiveness to requests coming from certain Congressional committees for information about UFOs has been in progress for many months, while Mr. Storch has remained so blissfully unaware of this fact?

We would and should assume that Robert Storch would know something about all of this, and more. After all, Mr. Storch has, since 2018, held the office of IG for none other than the US National Security Agency (NSA)! We must wonder about what rock Mr. Storch has been living under that he has apparently never heard anything about any of this information involving UAP airspace incursions and close aerial encounters with our US military pilots. We can only conclude one of two things; either Mr. Storch was lying to Senator Gillibrand about his knowledge concerning her questions, or that the DoD’s efforts to stonewall, to maintain UFO secrecy, and to stigmatize and ridicule the topic of UAP/UFOs have been so pervasive and so effective that they have rendered the subject a taboo and off-limits career killer, even for individuals like Mr. Storch who have occupied high offices within the ranks of our national security community. If Senator Gillibrand has her way, those days are over. If Mr. Storch is confirmed as IG of the DoD, I encourage him to hound the UFO secret keepers in the Pentagon until members of Congress who are requesting this important information receive it — all of it.

When I watch and listen to Mr. Storch respond to Senator Gillibrand’s questions, I strongly suspect he is telling the truth. That is, he had no previous knowledge that the DoD’s OIG was investigating anything having to do with the DoD’s level of (un)responsiveness to the inquiries of Congressional committees concerning the DoD’s experience with and knowledge of UAP. That the USAF has unquestionably been completely AWOL in this regard is an undeniable fact. (Read the June 2021 UAP Task Force Report in which UAP/UFO data stemming from the USAF is conspicuously and totally absent - yet it is they who are primarily responsible for monitoring and guarding our US airspace). That previous call from Congress, let us now call it a legally enforceable demand requesting information relevant to UAP went out not only to the DoD, but also to the NSA as well, and to all other US government agencies potentially holding-close any relevant information about UFOs. Apparently, Mr. Storch, in his position as IG of the NSA, was never informed about this. As he completes his homework assignment for Senator Gillibrand, well, he is likely in for a shock.

For me and perhaps for you, the realization that this planet and our civilization have been under the watchful eye of a separate, other than present-day human intelligence occurred long ago. Decades ago. In my book UFOs, Nuclear Weapons, and a New Age of Reason I refer to these beings as “The Others”. For those like Mr. Storch, that realization is now or will soon be dawning. It is vital that our leaders in government all be aware of this, given that we are all living on a planet brimming with nuclear weapons — the ones that The Others have been switching off for decades. It is vital that we discover what the intentions behind their actions have been and what they are trying to accomplish. The first step in this process is that everyone down here on planet’s surface be on the same page. The page I am on reads, “UAP/UFOs are real. They are not a product of any world nation nor of any private human enterprise. They are designed, manufactured, and controlled (either physically or remotely) by a non-human intelligence we can refer to as The Others. The Others are pressuring our military, through their actions described above, to reveal the truth of their existence and their exploits to a largely unsuspecting world. They are thus communicating with us through the proper channels, and they are turning up the volume through their repeated incursions into restricted US military airspace and their frequent, deliberate, close encounters with our finest military pilots. Congress is finally and appropriately pressing the DoD for more information, and, through the forthright efforts of Senator Gillibrand, they shall finally have it!” Full stop.

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand from New York is responding appropriately to this new awareness. She is quartering no nonsense and accepting no excuses. She serves as an example that every member of our US Congress who seeks to know the truth about UAP/UFOs should now follow. She has my respect, my attention, and she will have my vote should she decide to make a run once again for the office of President of the United States in 2024. Kudos to Kirsten! Nevertheless, she persisted!
