This Information Is About to “Set the World on Fire”

A U.S. congressman — Tennessee representative Tim Burchett — says he has information that would cause Americans to come “unglued” if they received it and “set the world on fire.”

What was he talking about?

UAP.

Burchett — who is on the House Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, as well as the House Oversight Committee and Foreign Affairs Committee — was referencing briefings he’s received from government agencies about aliens and UAP.

“I’ve been briefed by just about every alphabet agency there is,” Burchett said. “And, I’ll just say this, if they were to release the things that I’ve seen, you’d be up at night, worrying about, thinking about this stuff.”

“It would have set the earth on fire, this country would have come unglued,” he added. “We just need to disclose it all. I’m sick of it.”

I, for one, agree.

Over the past decade, the discourse surrounding UAP has gone from being a fringe conspiracy theory to a mainstream political concern.

You can trace the evolution back to The New York Times seminal article on UAP phenomena in 2017, in which the Pentagon grudging acknowledged that these encounters have, in fact, occurred.

The article came replete with eye witness accounts from U.S. service members, as well as pictures and video of unexplained aerial phenomena.

Things escalated a few years later, when David Grusch — a former USAF intelligence officer and combat veteran who fought in Afghanistan — testified before Congress that the U.S. government had ultra-classified programs to recover and reverse-engineer “non-human” spacecraft.

And the issue has only snowballed further since.

Last year, U.S. Air Force veteran Jeffrey Nuccetelli, U.S. Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer Alexandro Wiggins, U.S. Air Force veteran Dylan Borland, journalist George Knapp, and Project on Government Oversight senior policy counsel Joe Spielberger gave their own testimony before Congress.

That hearing unveiled video of a Hellfire missile bouncing off of a UAP target, as if it had a force field around it.

A few months later, a shocking UAP documentary — The Age of Disclosure, which featured testimony from 34 former and current government, military, and intelligence officials including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Republican Senator Mike Rounds, and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper — dropped on Prime Video.

And in February of this year, podcast host Brian Tyler Cohen asked former President Barack Obama if aliens were real and the former president seemed to confirm that they are.

“They’re real, but I haven’t seen them, and they’re not being kept in Area 51,” Obama said. “There’s no underground facility, unless there’s this enormous conspiracy, and they hid it from the president of the United States.”

In the wake of that stark admission President Trump jumped in.

“He gave classified information,” Trump said. “He’s not supposed to be doing that… I may get him out of trouble by declassifying.”

Then, just days later, Trump issued an executive order directing the Defense Department and other government agencies to “begin the process of identifying and releasing government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs).”



Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth responded affirmatively to that order. Yet no information has since been released.

Instead, the Pentagon shifted its focus to the war with Iran.

So I understand Burchett’s frustration.

We’ve been talking about this for 10 years. The president has openly called for declassification. And yet there has been no action.

Still, the screws are slowly turning. The Pentagon can’t keep this under wraps forever. And it does seem like the public is gradually being primed for some form of disclosure.

Will the revelations cause Americans to come “unglued,” as Burchett insists?

Maybe.

But not me.

I intend to profit from it.

Because amid all of this UAP discussion, the involvement of America’s military industrial complex seems to have been lost on Wall Street.

That’s crazy to me, since either one of two things are true.

Either aliens are real and we need to reckon with the threat they pose to global security.

Or they’re not and the military has some advanced aeronautics technology that it doesn’t want to advertise.

Either way, though, defense contractors — and this one in particular — stand to profit.

So do yourself a favor and get ahead of the headlines, because when we finally get the truth Wall Street and mainstream investors alike are going to rush in.


Fight on,
