I didn't know about this because I missed the news today but Schumer has passed his historic National Defense Authorization/Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Act of 2023. The article itself is massive. The draft was 65 pages or something. I can't remember all the shit in it but I know there's someone out there who will read it. Regardless, dam son.

Here's the whole UAP Act part of the document. 64 pages (? warning: PDF ? )

Here's a Twee-...*X* about it.

CONGRESS UPDATE: U.S. SENATE PASSES MULTIPLE UAP/UFO MEASURES

1) The U.S. Senate today (July 27, 2023) passed a National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), 86-11, that contains multiple and far-reaching provisions related to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP/UFOs).

2) The Senate added the entire Intelligence Authorization Act (IAA) to the FY 2024 NDAA, including UAP-related provisions earlier approved by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (with some revisions).

3) After approving the final NDAA-IAA package under the bill number H.R. 2670, the Senate sent it to a conference committee with the House of Representatives. There was only one minor UAP-related provision in the NDAA version that the House passed on July 14.

4) Included in the Senate-passed package is the Schumer-Rounds "UAP Disclosure Act," to establish an agency to gather UAP records from throughout the government, with a "presumption of immediate disclosure,"

5) but with such delays and exceptions as a presidentially appointed Review Board and the President would determine.

6) The Schumer-Rounds legislation also states, "The Federal Government shall exercise eminent domain [ownership] over any and all recovered technologies of unknown origin and biological evidence of non-human intelligence that may be controlled by private persons or entities..."

7) The Senate-passed NDAA-IAA also contains two overlapping versions of a Gillibrand-Rubio proposal. These provisions seek to identify any UAP-related technology or information that may be hidden in government-linked programs that have not been properly reported to Congress.

8) These provisions also would cut off funding for non-reported UAP-related programs. I discussed the Gillibrand-Rubio provision in some detail in an article published on June 24, but since then there have been some modifications in the language.

9) The Senate-passed bill also carries an increase of $27 million for the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), although the total authorized funding level remains classified. Sen. Kirstin Gillibrand (D-NY) sponsored this funding boost in the Armed Services Committee.

10) The Intelligence Authorization Act part of the package contains new protections for whistleblowers from the Intelligence Community. These new provisions were modified shortly before final action by the Senate, and will require further analysis.

11) A provision in the Armed Services Committee report on the NDAA requires an evaluation of NORAD "aerospace warning and control mission and procedures" by the Government Accountability Office, an arm of Congress, as I discussed in an earlier thread.

12) Once a House-Senate conference committee produces a final agreed-on version of the NDAA-IAA, after many weeks, it must receive final approval from the House and then the Senate, before being sent to the President. Congress has passed an NDAA for the past 62 straight years.

13) I intend to write a detailed article on the Senate-passed UAP provisions in the not-distant future. Some of these provisions were described in my June 24 article, linked above, but on some points that article is now out of date. �

Indeed. It's huge. And I don't mean that in terms of implications but the sheer size of the amendment. The Defense Authorization part is probably as big or bigger than even the UAP one. Schumer ain't messing around

Without the need to actually read it, can someone provide a summary of all the ways this screws the people and by how much?

I don't think it's targeted towards citizens at all. It's a direct offense towards the "secret organizations"

I've read some summaries about the draft from people who actually had the time to read it and apparently this amendment directly targets the UAP recovery and reverse engineering programs that Grusch came from and private contractors.

About 3-4 weeks ago, Grusch and his secret colleagues under protection went before the Senate Intel Committee and told Schumer and Senate staff about all the UAP stuff, all of the programs, the contractors, and organizations. In response, Schumer wrote the draft UAP act about a week or two ago. Then, he and the Senate rammed it through Congress at rocket speed.

Now we're here.

So apparently, we had a UAP Disclosure Foundation? And now Biden needs to assemble a team of Congress members and at least 9 citizens/scholars of various professions including at least 1 scientist or engineer and historian

This isn't aimed at you or I. It's aimed at parts of the government. If the stories are true, then some parts of the government know about aliens but keep it secret from the rest of the government. Not even Biden might know. Just like when the president didn't know Area 51 was real in Independence Day

There's the National Defense Authorization part of the amendment too that isn't out just yet. That might be the one that's of importance to you. I'll try to stay on top of the news and find the document when it's available.

For now, this document will go to the House and then, if they pass it, dropped on Biden's desk. And then... well... Avengers assemble?

Trump wouldn't have been able to keep his fat mouth shut if he was told aliens exist, so it was clear that either aliens haven't made contact with Earth or the POTUS doesn't have the clearance level to know about them.

Right, this could potentially be used to target groups of civilians that have any kind of secret goals.

It's definitely a "worthwhile" endeavor to push through this Act even if there's only a very slim chance of aliens existing. Rooting out reticent agencies is in itself useful for government oversight.

However, after all this hubbub, this legislation does make it a lot funnier if it turns out that Grusch is just a delusional conman.

Doesn't this have to go to conference because the house version included all of these dehumanizing parts for LGBT folks?

There are no such things as aliens. Or at least, there might as well not be because theres zero chance we will ever have any sort of contact with an alien ever.

Yeah house still needs to vote on it. Then it goes to Biden. At the very least, this bill passed with 86 yes voted. That's basically everybody

So from what I gather this bill is either about aliens or abusing the gay community,maybe both. In that case, it sounds bad. I don't like it.

I think they're more concerned with foreign aliens like Chinese tech we may not know about
