“Pentagon Has Been Pushing Americans to Believe in UFOs for Decades”
June 12th, 2025The Wall Street Journal claims the entirety of the UFO phenomenon was made up by the Pentagon.
Mmm hmm.
Here’s some useful commentary from Richard Dolan on this:
Via: Gizmodo:
UFOs have been back in the news a lot lately, and it may be the case that the government wants it that way. Last week, the Wall Street Journal published the first of a two-part series that probes the ways in which the Defense Department has been responsible for creating and fostering the UFO mythology in America.

In a news conference, Bass said the curfew will run from 8 p.m. Tuesday to 6 a.m. Wednesday, in a section of downtown where protests have turned into instances of vandalism and looting.
RFK Jr. Removes All Members of CDC Panel Advising U.S. On Vaccines
June 9th, 2025Hmm.
Via: CNBC:
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Monday said he is retiring all 17 members of a crucial government panel of vaccine advisors.
“A clean sweep is needed to re-establish public confidence in vaccine science,” Kennedy said in an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal on Monday.
Kennedy is removing all members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, or ACIP, which advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and HHS more broadly. The group reviews vaccine data and makes recommendations that determine who is eligible for shots and whether insurers should cover them, among other efforts.
U.S. MARINES DEPLOYING TO LOS ANGELES
June 9th, 2025Via: CNBC:
About 700 U.S. Marines were being deployed Monday to support the California National Guard to protect federal personnel and property in Los Angeles, NBC News reported, citing two Defense Department officials.
The deployment of the Marines is temporary, to give time for additional National Guard troops to arrive.
Earlier Monday, President Donald Trump said he would support arresting California Gov. Gavin Newsom for purportedly obstructing federal immigration enforcement actions in Los Angeles.
Trump’s comment came shortly before Newsom and state Attorney General Rob Bonta said they would sue Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for deploying National Guard troops to deal with protests over those enforcement actions.
The suit will ask a judge to rule that Trump’s federalization of the California National Guard was unlawful and to set aside the president’s order.

FAA to Eliminate Floppy Disks Used in Air Traffic Control Systems – Windows 95 Also Being Phased Out
June 9th, 2025Maybe the FAA can borrow some left over 8-inchers from the U.S. Air Force:
Defense tech news site C4isrnet reports that the Strategic Automated Command and Control System (SACCS)—the communication infrastructure that transmits emergency action messages for nuclear command centers—is ditching the floppy disks. Lieutenant Colonel Jason Rossi, 595th Strategic Communications Squadron commander, told C4isrnet the SACCS is upgrading to a “highly-secure solid state digital storage solution.”
Via: Tom’s Hardware:
The head of the Federal Aviation Administration just outlined an ambitious goal to upgrade the U.S.’s air traffic control (ATC) system and bring it into the 21st century. According to NPR, most ATC towers and other facilities today feel like they’re stuck in the 20th century, with controllers using paper strips and floppy disks to transfer data, while their computers run Windows 95. While this likely saved them from the disastrous CrowdStrike outage that had a massive global impact, their age is a major risk to the nation’s critical infrastructure, with the FAA itself saying that the current state of its hardware is unsustainable.
“The whole idea is to replace the system. No more floppy disks or paper strips,” acting FAA administrator Chris Rocheleau told the House Appropriations Committee last Wednesday. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy also said earlier this week,” This is the most important infrastructure project that we’ve had in this country for decades. Everyone agrees — this is non-partisan. Everyone knows we have to do it.”
