Circumstances explored in Wayward Sons Book Group might offer examples of what we'd hope - but not expect - to gain from official inquiries into UFO history (see AARO). Gov shenanigans are typically omitted from interest in lieu of exclusive searches for anomalies. www.patreon.com/collection/2...

The "gatekeepers” have been working overtime in the UFO world as of late. It’s the same old story, sweep it all up and promote unfounded claims. The people in this subject never fail to disappoint.

The Office of Information Policy affirmed FBI action in the EFR FOIA appeal of the processing of its 2025 response to our request on Castlewood Treatment Center. FBI released 15 of 32 pages responsive to the request. 1/2

Page one of a letter dated 7/27/26 from the DOJ indicates FBI action on an EFR FOIA request was affirmed.

Page 2 of the letter asserts it is reasonably foreseeable that disclosure of the information would harm the interests protected by the exemptions cited for withholding.

When AI can instantly mimic creative work, "it's hard to imagine many current markets for creative human expression surviving," write Thomas W. Malone and Frank Pasquale. Their answer: give creators a "learnright" and make AI companies pay to train.

The '60s were a time of anti-war protests, draft card burning and politically passionate youth. And the FBI was having none of it. Surely bad acting Communists must have been behind it all, or so the Bureau liked to think - and they weren't always wrong. www.patreon.com/ExpandingFro...
