Trump Is Finally Releasing All the Files. No, Not Those Files.
The Trump administration took more than a year to deploy part of the Epstein files, but overnight Donald Trump decided it would be no problem to drop everything the government has on extraterrestrial life.
The president announcement Thursday evening that he would direct agencies to “begin the process of identifying and releasing government files related to extraterrestrial and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), as well as any other information related to these very complex, but extremely interesting and important, issues.”
Trump noted that the spontaneous post was due to “tremendous interest” from the public, although that is not the whole story.
Hours earlier, Trump was caught off guard by a reporter’s question about Barack Obama’s recent revelation that aliens were real.
“Have you seen evidence of non-human visitors to Earth? Peter Doocy of Fox News request Trump on Air Force One.
“Well, he gave classified information, he’s not supposed to do that,” said Trump, who was accused of mismanagement and illegal retention of classified documents after losing the 2020 election.
“So aliens are real?” » insisted Doocy.
“Well, I don’t know if they’re real or not, I can tell you he gave classified information; he’s not supposed to do that. He made a big mistake,” Trump responded, saying the only aliens he knew about in the United States were “illegals.”
Obama casually confessed his belief in extraterrestrials during a round of playful questions on the subject. No Lies with Brian Tyler Cohen podcast Saturday, informing listeners that “they’re real, but I haven’t seen them.” The former president added that there were no alien storage facilities at Area 51, “unless there was this huge conspiracy, and they hid it from the President of the United States.”
He clarified his comments the next day, writing on social media that the universe is so vast that the likelihood of extraterrestrial life is “statistically” likely.
“But the distances between solar systems are so great that the chances that we have been visited by extraterrestrials are low, and I have seen no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us. Really!” » Obama posted.
Trump’s eagerness to satisfy apparent public demand about the existence of extraterrestrials only further highlights the absurdity of the endless delays preventing the legally mandated full release of the Epstein files.
Recent reports indicate that the DOJ has released only a fraction of the Epstein filespotentially holding more than 50 terabytes that the agency has not yet disclosed. Recent versions, which include millions of pages of documents, represent around 300 gigabytes, or 2% of the estimated total.
