This is nothing.

I have friend, a very old friend, who is in our (Aussie) intelligence
agency.

He was with colleagues in the US about 25 years ago when they decided to
start rumours that aliens had visited and that we had artifacts.  The idea
was, apparently, that they would get substantial funding for an alien
intelligence agency.  Presumably they actually use most of the money for
other purposes.

But the alien stuff is all fabrication, and on at least the scale of several
governments (can't believe it is on us the US has let on to).

Thats nothing!

I had lunch with aliens yesterday and they told me how they had cooked
up this scheme, to start a rumour, 25 years ago, that the artifacts
were just movie props, and that if someone started a rumour that
they were real, they could get massive funding for black projects!

They then went on to disclose, their super secret disinfo plan,
that if anyone questions the weaponizing of space, they should
just say they are filming a Pepsi commercial.
