Investigative journalists George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell obtained and are releasing David Grusch’s UNCLASSIFIED whistleblower complaint.
In July 2021, Mr. Grusch confidentially provided UAP-related classified information to the Department of Defense Inspector General (DoD IG). At that time, Mr. Grusch communicated classified information about the improper withholding and/or concealment of classified material from the US Congress by certain IC elements. Mr. Grusch believes that his identity and the fact of his UAP-related communication(s) with the DoD IG have been disclosed to individuals and/or entities outside the DoD IG, and that he has suffered retaliation and reprisal(s) related thereto.
Presented here is the official and unclassified PPD-19 (Presidential Policy Directive 19) Intelligence Community Whistleblower procedural filing by David Grusch and his attorneys on 25 May 2022.
BACKGROUND
Recently-retired intelligence officer David Grusch did not want to become a UFO whistleblower. Grusch spent much of his life protecting the most sensitive secrets in the world, many of them housed inside Special Access Programs that were unknown, even to congressional overseers. When Grusch uncovered evidence of illegal activity within the intelligence community, related to UFO operations and programs, he reported his suspicions to the appropriate authorities and hoped that higher-ups would address the allegations. Instead, he became a target himself. Operatives inside the intelligence community and in league with powerful defense contractors, tried to silence, punish, and discredit him. Grusch not only learned startling truths about UFO research by government employees, but also uncovered evidence of an ongoing disinformation effort created to mislead congress, the media, and the public.
Days ago, Grusch stepped out of the shadows and spoke publicly for the first time. UFOs are real, he says, and they are here.
More than a year ago, Grusch sought the advice of journalists George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell. In this week’s episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy and George tell the inside story of their friendship with Grusch, why he risked everything by coming forward, and about other government insiders and whistleblowers who are prepared to follow in Grusch's footsteps.
This additional document is SECURITY EXECUTIVE AGENT / DIRECTIVE 9 / WHISTLEBLOWER PROTECTION : APPELLATE REVIEW OF RETALIATION REGARDING SECURITY CLEARANCES AND ACCESS DETERMINATIONS (EFFECTIVE 28 MAY 2022) which was signed by Avril D. Haines, Director of National Intelligence - and provides additional protections as well as mandates the creation of a whistleblower clearance review panel.
“No matter where UFOs are from - it is now openly admitted by our Department of Defense that they are appearing with an increased frequency worldwide. It’s time to acknowledge the UFO problem, and I am hopeful that AARO (All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office) and its stakeholders will dedicate robust resources to this enduring mystery on behalf of the American and global public.” - Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell
