Why Congress Must Focus On UFO Retrieval Programs

The path to UAP transparency through legislative means remains blocked by political disruption.

With the full Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Act (UAPDA) seemingly set to fail for the second consecutive year, a small group of politicians–possibly swayed by the Intelligence Community, defense establishment, and defense contractors–appears to be playing a significant role in its downfall.

One can only speculate why certain politicians continue to prioritise special interests over the very people who elected them.

Is it the flood of donations from defense contractors, or perhaps the fear that the Intelligence Community holds compromising information? https://bit.ly/3YhROyo

Journalism under fire: Jailed for exposing Jordan

In Jordan, failing at self-censorship can land you in jail. Literally.

Freelance journalist Hiba Abu Taha, a passionate pro-resistance Jordanian of Palestinian origin, refused to self-censor. On 11 June, the Magistrate Court in Amman sentenced her to a harsh one-year prison term for violating the kingdom’s controversial Cybercrimes Law introduced last year.

This was due to an article she wrote for Lebanese news site, Annasher, criticizing “Jordan’s role in defending the enemy entity.” The article was published on 22 April, eight days after Jordanian, US, British, and French aircraft intercepted Iranian drones and rockets over Jordanian airspace heading towards Israeli targets.

However, Abu Taha was arrested on 13 May after Annasher published her investigative report on 28 April titled “Partners in extermination: Jordanian capital owners involved in Gaza genocide.” The timing of her arrest gave the impression that she was detained for exposing Jordanian companies transporting exports to Israel — a land corridor that government officials went out of their way to publicly deny amid growing popular outrage at Amman’s continued ties with Tel Aviv while it commits the Gaza genocide.
