What is it about the Alien/UFO topic can’t we handle?

I'll share my opinion; for what it's worth.

I remember when "disclosure" was all the rage (maybe it still is, I don't follow UFO culture too closely anymore). All sorts of people came out of the woodwork to cash in. Nothing came of any of it. Just more "content" to string people along.

As I understand it, "disclosure" means the global powers admitting whatever truth we want them to admit about aliens, UFOs, secret technology, erased history, etc. Somehow that is supposed to bring about Utopia.

Part of the disclosure argument is, "Why won't they just tell us already?!!" (the topic of this thread)

Ultimately I think "disclosure" is another tool of control. Why are we seeking validation from authority? If they've been lying for millennia, why would we believe them now? If something is out there, something far more advanced, how could authorities possibly prevent them from revealing themselves to us?

I would encourage anyone looking to authorities for answers to look in the opposite direction. You are the authority. Find your own answers. It is possible. Whatever is out there does reveal itself, at will, to whomever it chooses. People can reach out and often "they" will reach back. All the hand wringing over government silence and manipulation loses it's savor after that.
