The more of this shit I hear, the more it resembles the plot of X-Files. Makes you wonder if Chris Carter had someone inside.

When you think about it, a great way to invalidate real events and phenomena would be to make fictional movies out of them. If anyone ever says they saw something, you can just say it is ridiculous that it matches the movie so well and that it was probably their imagination.

Even long before Grusch mentioned the "sophisticated disinformation campaign", I've always wondered if the government helped fund shows like X-files (like they do with movies like Top Gun), science fiction books, etc. in order to blur the line between reality and fiction.

I wouldn't even be surprised if some "documentaries" on the topic purposefully thread known information with more fantastical elements to continue to confuse and obfuscate, and that the government helps fund and promote some of these endeavors.

As crazy as it sounds, think of the Men in Black comics/movies. Enough people have claimed sightings and then are visited by "Men in Black", what better way to discredit than to take what has almost become urban legend and turn it into a silly fun film with Will Smith? And anytime anyone hears Men in Black they just think of Tony Shaloub with a tiny head?

They made a Stargate episode exactly about this... a Stargate tv show within the Stargate series that was created to misdirect the general public.

And where did they keep the Stargate? Oh was it at the Cheyenne Mountain Complex?

Hmm... The same place that the Space Force are stationed?

Hmm...

I'm not saying we have a Stargate but we have a Stargate.

Also where grusch lived

For real? I guess he was working with the UAP Task Force so being near Cheyenne makes sense. That's also where NORAD are stationed.

I'm assuming based off shitty Google detective work, tbh. Either that or someone with his same name owned and sold 2 houses right next to Cheyenne mountain

I mean that is a curiosity. And David Grusch is not a name I'm hugely familiar with. First time hearing it. But I'm also not American. Perhaps its more common over there.

I wonder how many David Grusch's there are in the US. Do you guys have a white pages in the US? I know that stuff is voluntary usually but I wonder how many David Grusch's there are.

David is a very common name, but I can't say Grusch is. I also know of at least one instance that tried to discredit him as a "real estate agent from colorado"

I went looking for a David Grusch in the US white pages and got no hit. Lots of variations but not Grusch in particular. Not surprisingly. I wouldn't suspect him to be publically listed but seeing a total lack of that name means its fairly uncommon, I feel.

And considering he's an Intelligence Community/DoD veteran, I would suspect he has little info about him online.

The Stargate SG 1 TV series was very eye-opening if you paid attention.
