UAP Oversight, Perception, and Propaganda: Panel Weighs Lakatski’s Perjury Remark, Burchett’s ‘Contact’ Claim, and the Risks of Engineered Mythology Hosts and guests on the Psicoactivo Podcast assessed competing pressures shaping UAP disclosure, from congressional oversight and whistleblower credibility to the manipulation of public perception. The conversation examined Dr. James Lakatski’s suggestion that a witness lied under oath, Rep. Tim Burchett’s public assertion that the U.S. has had contact with non-human intelligence, the scrutiny of Chris Bledsoe’s claims, and the growing role of AI-enabled propaganda.

Report Removal on Alleged CIA UAP Retrievals Sparks Scrutiny of Oversight, Pressures, and Geopolitics Cristina Gomez reports on claims by journalist Chris Sharp that a Daily Mail investigation linking the CIA’s Office of Global Access to UAP crash retrievals was removed without explanation, alongside accounts of pressure on reporters and structural issues within AARO. The discussion also examines political positioning around access to UAP-related information and the strategic implications of alleged Chinese advances.

Report removal over alleged CIA UAP retrievals raises questions about oversight, pressure on journalists, and geopolitical stakes as claims of Chinese advances surface. Transparency and accountability demanded. #UAP #CIA #Oversight #Geopolitics

Now that Bondi is out, what does that mean for the Epstein files? The Justice Department has not finished releasing files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

3️⃣ Still not full transparency:
DOJ admits more Epstein files remain unreleased, despite a legal deadline. Lawmakers say compliance with the transparency law is unfinished. Pressure is rising on DOJ leadership.

Allegations Outline Deeply Compartmented UAP Programs, Legal Shielding, and Witness Intimidation Host Cristina Gomez reports on former Congressman Matt Gates’s account of a confidential briefing alleging secret military-run hybridization programs and on researcher Sam Gerb’s model describing a multi-layered UAP retrieval and exploitation architecture. The discussion also addresses claims of legal insulation via Atomic Energy Commission 'restricted data,' concerns about AARO’s efficacy and oversight, and allegations of threats against potential witnesses alongside proposed whistleblower protections.

The discussion contextualizes Gaetz’s remarks alongside prior congressional inquiries and comments from Reps.
