“If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers” — Thomas Pynchon

The 15-page document entered into the Congressional Record by Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) during last May’s Capitol Hill UFO hearing has been called a lot of things: Core Secrets, the Wilson Memo, the Davis Memo, The Smoking Gun, The Leak of the Century, etc. Garnished and drizzled with names, dates, places and times, it has the feel and texture of exactly what it purports to be – notes from a conversation between two defense/intelligence insiders discussing the hijacking of America’s blackest secret by a private corporation.

If legit, no wonder Gallagher saw fit to put it out there for anyone to study, because it’s not just about a UFO coverup. More ominously, it’s about the surreptitious and open-ended corruption of our democratic architecture, the sabotage of checks and balances, the perpetuation of the blank check and an institutional contempt for lawmakers who’ve been blindly writing those checks, year after year, administration after administration, decade after decade after decade. If legit, it means the granddaddy of all American conspiracy theories is true. It means we’ve all been scammed, crimes of incalculable impact are ongoing, and every bit of it is padlocked behind the flag of national security.
