    It’s important to note that this doesn’t mean the amendment is dead or that it will be gutted. There are clearly still plenty of powerful people throughout Congress that are fighting to get this passed. There will be a lot of doom and gloom, with glimmers of hope until the NDAA is ultimately passed and we’ll know the outcome. Until then, you can always contact your representatives and senators to throw your support behind this amendment.

      There seems to be some significant momentum behind an unofficial disclosure by people who are willing to go further than they have yet in terms of sharing info publicly that they’ve hinted at.

      I am not sure what kind of impact this will have but Danny Sheehan has a track record of exposing government programs and he’s clearly prepared to go ballistic here.

        Yeah, I’ve seen a few sources state that more whistleblowers are coming forward through both official and unofficial channels. The dam breaking will be dependent on the outcome of the UAPDA.

        To me, it seems like cooperating with the amendment would benefit everyone at this point. It may even buy these groups a little time as long as they work with Congress and the review panel. There will still be a fight over eminent domain, but one way or another the history of these programs will soon come to light.
