My theories for why the clear ramp up for disclosure starting in 2017ish:
- The US government has been studying this phenomenon for years and has recently managed to reverse engineer the technology to the degree it has real-world applications. To actually explain how we achieved those feats, it will be necessary for the public to understand where it originated from, since a lie would be obvious.
- There's some really (REALLY) bad news to share, and this is part of a rollout plan needed to be able to deliver that news in the way that would minimize it's net effect on our society. (For example, we're in a zoo. And we've hit some tripwires and are now no longer allowed to develop technology X, Y, or Z.)
- etrautmann 5y agoThese both strike me as fun but unlikely explanations if applying an occam's razor lens
- gfodor 5y agoI'm specifically referring to the explanation for why, all of a sudden, these disclosures are happening in a way they didn't for decades. Conditional on the fact they are actual disclosures and not a complex conspiratorial psyop/lies/etc.
- yummypaint 5y agoIt may be as simple as the old guard retiring. The timing lines up with the most resistant people in authority leaving or dying off. Many recent leaks are also from people who kept their mouths shut most of their career and then decided to spill once they reached enough security in their retirement.
