The Schumer Amendment: Navigating the Complexities of UAP Legislation

 

By Anthony F. Sanchez, Author & UFO Researcher

For UFO, and UAP study by the military and independent researchers alike, legislative developments are critical. The UAP Disclosure Act of 2023, a component of the Schumer legislation, represents a crucial moment in this ongoing narrative. Initially a thorough 64-page proposal, it promised a groundbreaking level of openness about UAPs, potentially reshaping public access to information on Non-Human Intelligence (NHI) and unidentified technologies.

However, the journey through the legislative process led to its significant reduction to just 19 pages. This drastic change, occurring before its expected integration into the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for the fiscal year 2024, has sparked widespread speculation and inquiry. The act's original extensive references to NHI and unknown technologies were sharply cut down, leaving only a fraction of its initial content.

This substantial alteration raises critical questions: What influences were at play behind these revisions? The removal of key elements, such as the Independent Review Board and 'eminent domain' rights for material retrieval, alongside reduced protections for whistleblowers and an absence of subpoena powers, has led to scrutiny of the intelligence and defense contracting sectors. These entities are suspected of maintaining a longstanding culture of secrecy around UFO-related knowledge and activities.

Central to these legislative changes are four influential senators: Mike Turner, Chair of the House Intelligence Committee; Mike Rogers, Chair of the House Armed Services Committee; Mitch McConnell, the House minority senate leader; and Mike Johnson, the new Speaker of the House. The financial ties of Turner and Rogers to defense contractors add a layer of complexity to their motivations for amending this bill.

The resultant Schumer Amendment, stripped of many of its powerful provisions, merely requests that agencies release UAP information to the National Archives, lacking enforceable mandates. This situation suggests that significant disclosures concerning UAPs, crash retrievals, and reverse engineering programs may remain out of public reach. The longstanding secrecy of the intelligence community appears unchallenged, fueling further speculation about potential cover-ups.

This legislative episode must be viewed within the larger context of UAP research. Since the revealing New York Times article in 2017 about the secretive AATIP UFO program, public discourse on UAPs has undeniably evolved. However, the recent legislative developments indicate that the intelligence community and defense contractors continue to exert considerable control over the flow of information.

As researchers and the public grapple with the implications of these legislative outcomes, one must consider the broader picture. What truths about UAPs are being shielded, and why? The quest for transparency in UAP research is not merely an academic pursuit but a search for deeper understanding of our universe and humanity's place within it.

As we navigate this intricate landscape, we are left pondering: What truths lie beyond the veil of government secrecy, and how might these revelations reshape our perception of the world and ourselves?

A Perspective on God and Extraterrestrial Life

Image
By Anthony F. Sanchez, Author & UFO Researcher For UFO Currents As a dedicated UFO researcher, I venture into the vastness of the sky, seeking not just scientific truths but the pulse of the mysterious. The concept of God, an eternal subject of human contemplation, often aligns with the esoteric and profound mysteries of the cosmos.  Albert Einstein, a luminary in the world of physics, famously did not subscribe to the notion of a personal God but instead revered the intricate structure of the universe unveiled through our growing scientific understanding—a sentiment shared by those of us who chase the enigma of extraterrestrial life. He once expressed, " I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. "  What if the pursuit of extraterrestrial life is not just about discovering the unknown but about unraveling the fabric of divinity itself? This question is not new.  Stephen Hawking, a visionary in theoretical physics, specu

Sacred, Eternal, and Unchanging: YHVH (יהוה), the Dragon

Image
By Anthony F. Sanchez, Author & UFO Researcher For UFO Currents In this article, my aim is to explore the widespread phenomenon of "The Dragon", delving into their cultural and historical significance across the globe. In the Torah, the Tetragrammaton, YHVH (יהוה), stands as the unpronounceable, sacred name of God, embodying the eternal and immutable essence of the divine. Intriguingly, some interpretations within traditional Jewish texts metaphorically envision YHVH as a dragon. This unique perspective prompts the question: why does this interpretation exist, and what does it signify within a broader cultural and historical context? This intriguing interpretation has led me to delve deeper into the origins and implications of viewing God in such a unique light. It raises questions about the sacred and immutable nature of divinity as depicted in Judaic texts. Therefore, I embarked on a scholarly journey, engaging with biblical commentaries and religious studies, to unrave

UAP Disclosure: An Impasse, Amidst Official Pentagon Denials And Think Tank Advocacy

Image
By Anthony F. Sanchez, Author & UFO Researcher For UFO Currents In a recent, comprehensive report, the Pentagon's All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office ( AARO ) confidently asserted that there's no evidence of alien technology in the myriad of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) sightings investigated.  This assertion, encapsulated in the "Report on the Historical Record of U.S. Government Involvement with Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) Volume I," aimed to set the record straight on the government's position regarding UAPs.  According to AARO and NASA's UAP study team, a significant number of these sightings could simply be misinterpretations of mundane objects , a situation exacerbated by the lack of comprehensive data. This proclamation comes at a time when the discourse around UAPs and their potential extraterrestrial origins is gaining momentum, thanks in part to organizations like ' The Sol Foundation Initiative for UAP Research and Po
