Gaslighting as usual, the White House is telling Americans freaked out by the drones hovering ominously over parts of New York and New Jersey: Everything’s fine! Just trust us!
Since the first known spotting Nov. 18, at least 3,000 sightings have followed in New Jersey alone, and it’s spread to Staten Island and The Bronx.
Guesses as to what’s going on proliferate, some more believable than others: more Chinese surveillance, launches from an Iranian mothership parked off the East Coast, and so on.
Is this a case for Fox Mulder and Dana Scully?
Pushed by local leaders to address exactly what the heck has been happening in US airspace for nearly a month, National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby had the nerve to brush off concerns.
“Many of the reported sightings are actually manned aircraft that are being operated lawfully,” he insisted, and there’s no evidence the UFOs pose a threat.
Which might be reassuring if he hadn’t just indicated that the White House has no clue where the drones are coming from.
Translation: Don’t believe your lying eyes. Believe us.
Says a communications shop that spent months (at least) hiding and denying the president’s growing mental challenges
Americans aren’t stupid; most people can tell the difference between an airplane or helicopter and the type of eerie, floating objects that have been reported.
And the Biden crew has absolutely blown its credibility on this front: Earlier this year, the White House stayed hush-hush about a Chinese spy balloon that it knew was taking a tour of American military bases.
They fully planned to keep it a secret forever, only to be foiled when civilians spotted the craft.
For that matter, why trust a White House that lied (again, knowingly) about how Joe would never pardon Hunter?
Not to mention years of gaslighting about the border being “under control” and months of bull about inflation being “transitory.”
If the US government actually has no idea what the drones are or who’s operating them, that’s a scandalous national-security failure.
But the feds have the resources to figure it out. Get on it.
People are scared: Car-sized objects that could be armed or equipped with surveillance gear are literally hanging over their heads.
Shame on Govs. Phil Murphy and Kathy Hochul, too: While other local pols clamor for more information from the feds, Hochul has been mum about the whole thing, and Murphy didn’t even attend a Wednesday briefing for local officials hosted by his office.
They should both be putting the Biden administration’s feet to the fire .
Americans deserve real answers as to what’s going on in their skies.
Their government owes them at least a plan for finding out.
