OFFICER JUST CONFESSED THIS UNDER OATH

Show Transcript

On Wednesday, a current CIA officer sat in front of the Senate Homeland Security Committee and described how the Central Intelligence Agency obstructed a federal investigation that includes UFOs. He named the spying, he named the retaliation, and he stated that forty boxes of files being prepared for public release were taken by the CIA. Hey you follows, I'm Christina Gomez and this is your UFO news update. The witness is James Erdman.

IID he is a senior operations officer at the CIA and he's still employed there, who served on joint duty at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence between March of twenty twenty five and April of twenty twenty six. His unit was called the Director's Initiative Group or a DIG for short, and the DIG was set up under the DNI Toolsey Gabbard to look into three areas and one of those was the areas of UAP. And this is why this testimony belongs in this update. Is what James said in his own words.

I am a career CIA operations officer, and as you mentioned, I was on joint duty assignment at the Office of Director National Intelligence, Director's Initiatives Group or the DIG. Between March twenty twenty five and April twenty twenty six, I was responsible for leading the DIGS investigation into COVID origins, anomalist health incidents, and unidentified anomalist phenomenon. A CIA officer just stated under oath that he was leading an active intelligence community investigation into UAP running all the way to April of this year, and the agency he works for refused to cooperate with him. Per his own sworn statement, the CIA refused to hand over the information needed to figure out why analytics standards were violated.

The CIA monitored DIG personnel's computers and phones, and it trucked their contacts with whistleblowers. And when one contractor sat down with the DIG team, that contractor was fired the very next day. And this was the head of a federal investigation telling Congress that the CIA was actively frustrating his own work. The CIA illegally monitored the computer and phone usage of DIG personnel, their investigations, and contact with whistleblowers.

These were Americans being spied upon illegally while executing duties directed by the President and under the authority of the Director National Intelligence. One CIA contractor assisting with the dig's investigation into the events that transpired between twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three was fired by the CIA one day after meeting with the DIG. This is not the first account of the DIG operating against the people it was set up to serve. Matthew Brown, the former State Department analyst who authored the Immaculate Constellation report, described on The Weaponi's podcast a few months ago a separate od n I ms at Liberty Crossing where a promised UAP whistleblower protection program was never offered to him and where the framework was, in his words, used to influence Congress to shut down UAP integrity rather than to protect witnesses.

And this was all happening under DIG. So, like Erdman, Brown was explicit that he does not place this under the director of Toolsey Gabbard. He places it on personnel embedded inside the structure she authorized. Two whistleblowers from two different vantage points are now describing the very same DIG from different angles, one being stonewall from above the CIA, the other being maneuvered from within it.

CIA communications director Liz Loins called the hearing dishonest and political theater, and as reported by Town Hall and The Daily Caller. She did not address any of these specific claims. When the DIG stopped operations in April, Erdmann testified that the CIA also took back forty box of JFK and mk ultra files that the DNI Gabbard's office was processing for declassification under existing directives. When the DIG ceased operations, the CIA also took back forty boxes of JFK files and mk ultra files being processed for classification by DNI gabberd.

DNI Press Secretary Olivia Coleman posted on X that there was no raid on the DNI office, and Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna then issued her own X post on May fourteenth, making the same points that she never used the word rad and no clips exist of her saying. So, what Luna has consistently said is that the files were taken and that her job is to make sure documents are preserved and not destroyed. So the disagreement is not whether the documents were moved. The disagreement is over the words used to describe how.

But listen to what Congresswoman Luna said directly to whoever is inside the CIA that went into Gabbard's office. And it's unacceptable. And so as you saw, Comer is working on that subpoena with me. We will send it in the morning if we don't hear back from the CIA, But either which way, we will find out who went into Toulsi's office and took those files.

If this person and this is not a threat, this is going to happen. If those files are not returned within the next twenty four hours, you will be called. Your faces will be made public in front of the entire American people. All of Congress will see it, and we will hold you accountable for going against a direct executive ordered by the President and interfering with the congressional investigation.

So return the files, do not destroy documents. You will get a preservation of documents noticed for Congress, and any member of the CIA that engages in underminding this investigation will be held criminally accountable. And I'm also waiting for a callback from Todd Blanche, the acting Attorney General. We are not playing games with you.

Return the documents. She followed that on X with a three post sequence. The CIA has twenty four hours to return the documents or she will make a motion to issue a subpoena, preserve the documents and deliver them to DNI Gabbard immediately, or be held in contempt of Congress. For months, we have covered the House Oversight Committee deadlines to federal agencies, the lunar request to the Pentagon for classified UAP videos, the push to dismantle ARROW, and the pattern of missing or deceased scientists tied to classified aerospace work.

Now we have sworn testimony from a current CIA officer describing the same stonewalling at the intelligence community level. Congressman Eric Berlason waited publicly on x responding to the CIA's official statement on the hearing. His post called the CIA's response one of the worst days in recent history for the agency's credibility and stated directly at the CIA needs more oversights and that the government belongs to the people, not the bureaucrats. Now pair that with his earlier comments where he said that the first pursuit batch was a low hanging fruit and that the real disclosure work will require pressing the CIA and federally funded research and development centers, possibly with subpoenas.

The picture is very consistent here. The oversight members closest to this issue, do not believe the existing channels are delivering properly, and Erdmann seems to agree. He closed his statement with the direct call for another Church committee. In the nineteen seventies, investigations exposed illegal CIA surveillance programs and assassination plots against foreign leaders.

He is suggesting that this same investigation model now can be used for the agency currently sitting on the UAP question. Whistleblowers are almost never protected. Whistleblower protections always seem to protect the agency. Every time the CIA investigates itself, they coincident only find no wrongdoing.

When they do identify issues, they hold the system responsible. That last statement is a verbatim response from a Europe and Eurasia Mission Center lawyer. When the CIA Office of Inspector General did identify shortcomings so serious oversight bodies were holding meetings about it three years after the events transpired. It was in response to the question was anyone held accountable?

Apparently the system is good enough. That is a current CIA officer on the record on camera telling Congress that the agency who he works for cannot police itself. The same agency that legacy program reporting from researchers like how put off in J. Stratton has identified as one of the primary holders of the UAP retrieval question for the last eighty years.

The Trump administration's stated position is that disclosure is rolling. Federal agencies were directed in February to identify UAP recorded records, and according to Liberation Times and confirmed in multiple recent interviews, only a small number of agencies fully engaged with that directive, and most turned over only a small fraction of what they actually hold. After hearing sworn testimony like this from an active CIA officer, do you trust that the next batch of UAP files will contain anything the Legacy program doesn't want to be released? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

I'm Christina Gomez and az it for today. I will see you again next time for another uf ON news update. Be safe and remember keep your eyes on the skies.
