I'm going to share this story one more time, because I think the problem it describes -- being unable to determine what is true online or in the news, and just giving up entirely on trying -- is going to get more and more common. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

An image obtained from an FBI file, Russian attendees of the 1952 conference of the International Astronomical Union photographed at the airport in Rome, Italy. Seven men are clad in suits, while one woman is in business wear, and each have their names penciled in over their heads by an FBI asset. The words, "Scientists as FBI Assets," are added to the image.
From a former FOIA officer to Guerrilla Skeptics, we've got you covered on the EFR video page, complete with some Cold War-era UFO history and spy games, as well. www.expandingfrontiersresearch.org/items-2
There's a lot of public confusion about the FOIA. What it should do - and what it actually does - are not always the same. The FOIA is an articulation of public entitlement to the people's records. View the full half-hour discussion here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NE9K... CLIP: youtu.be/VlMdDqq1QqM
Physicist & UFO advocate Dr. James E. McDonald & his wife Betsy - & "her 'bearded and filthy' friends" that she helped circulate petitions to get candidates on ballots - were investigated by FBI for peace activism & opposition to the Vietnam War, per FBI records. www.patreon.com/posts/151645...

SAUCER NEWS HEADOUMIERS VISITED BY FBI AGENTS On August 23rd, your Editor's apartment in Fort Lee was visited by two FBI agents from the New York City office. They were doing a "background check" on a man named Robert Vorwitt, who was apparently associated at one time with the New York Saucer Information Bureau {NYSIB). The agents asked your Editor for the address of Lois Jessup, a NYSIB member, in hopes that she could lead them to Vorwitt or at least give them some information on the man. We were unable to supply Miss Jessup's address, but we put the FBI men in touch with another NYSIB member who did. After the FBI visited Miss Jessup, we heard nothing further about the case.
Our evolving investigation of an FBI espionage probe that veered into flying saucer land just swerved into Jim Moseley's apartment in Jersey. From the Oct. 1963 edition of Moseley's 'Saucer News' & the latest blogpost & accompanying video from EFR: www.expandingfrontiersresearch.org/post/the-rob...
Abuse is horrible. In addition, survivors of SA and of domestic violence are often pressured to justify themselves and their experiences. This can be as traumatizing, and often more traumatizing, than the actual abuse that they survived in the first place. Believe survivors.
